Play-Along-Pocalypse Season 1! STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 8 Round 2!

Want to play STEEM-POCALYPSE but missed out on the sign-up? Want to play but you're not sure about the rules and would like to learn how to play in a less competitive setting? (Or are you shy and don't want to learn in front of so many players?) Have you already been killed off in STEEM-POCALYSE but would like to keep playing? (Are you still alive in the current season of STEEM-POCALYPSE but want to goof around with your fellow players some more?)

Then this is the game for you!

The Rules for Proper Gameplay:

-- Players must reply within 24hrs of this post being made or they will die.

-- Players must reply to the comment below containing the option they would like to choose for gameplay. If they reply to the main post and not the comment containing the option they would like to choose, they will die.

-- Players must keep track of their own inventories and when they last ate/when they must eat again to avoid starvation.

-- -- EXAMPLE:

I have one backup food supply, rope, 6 ammo (no gun), I ate some berries on Day 3 Round 2, and I choose Option 3!

-- -- -- As this is the first post for this season, there is currently no inventory to keep track of. However, that will change soon and when it does, make sure you keep track of your inventory!

-- -- -- -- Any attempts at dishonesty when listing your inventory will result in immediate death.

THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PLAY-ALONG-POCALYPSE and STEEM-POCALYPSE:

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, you do not have to signup to play. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, all players must signup for the current season ahead of time. Only those that signed up are allowed to play in the current season.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, death is temporary and you may play again on the next game post. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, death is permanent and you must wait until the next season to play again.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, you may join us at any point in the game. Meaning, if you didn't play with us in the beginning, you're still welcome to join in and start out on whatever the current round is. If you didn't play in Day 1 Round 1, Day 1 Round 2, Day 2 Round 1, Day 2 Round 2, you are still welcome to join us in Day 3 Round 1. (If you join later on in gameplay, I will provide you with a small inventory of items.) In STEEM-POCALYPSE, you MUST begin playing on Day 1 Round 1 and MUST reply to every game post within 24hrs of it being posted or you will die and have to wait until the next season to play again.

-- -- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I will be enforcing the reply within 24hrs to a game post. Since death is temporary in Play-Along-Pocalypse, the only real consequence is that you will miss out on whatever inventory you might've gained in the missed post and you will miss out on eating if one of the options provided a meal.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, if you're not playing the game, you're allowed to comment and interact with people in the comments of the game posts anyways. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, commenting on game posts when you are not playing is not only VERY RUDE but it's against the rules and creates more work for @Papa-Pepper and myself. So please don't idly chat on STEEM-POCALYPSE posts, come chat on Play-Along-Pocalypse posts instead.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I'll be posting a list of all the players that played correctly in the previous game post. They will be the 'survivors'. Those that do no play correctly will not be listed. Play-Along-Pocalypse is for learning how to play the game and to have fun and be much more relaxed while learning the game. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, a list of the survivors and a list of the fallen are posted every day.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, there is no prize pool to win. Why? Because this is a learning experience and for fun. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, there's not only a prize pool, but it can grow to be quite large. However, those unable to play the official game correctly will not win the prize pool. If you want to win potentially hundreds or thousands of dollars, you need to be able to follow the game rules on your own if you want to win the money.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, if you die for some reason, I will inform you of your demise and the reason for it, and you can try again on the next game post. In STEEM-POCALYPSE, if you die, you die. Try again next season.

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I highly encourage you to ask all the questions you want or need. I will answer them to the very best of my ability.

-- In Play-Along-Pocalypse, I highly encourage you to interact with each other and to have fun.

-- I also highly encourage you to get creative and to leave your STEEM-POCALYPSE/Play-Along-Pocalypse inspired creations in the comments below.

-- Roleplaying is highly encouraged.

OKAY, ON TO THE ACTUAL GAME!!

The Official STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 8 Round 2 Post by @Papa-Pepper

Tom, back once again.... He always seems to do a good job at thinning out the herd.

Not that all options get picked, but due to the Play-A-Long Pocalypse Game being run by @novaatebatman, I will be providing results for options.

DAY 8 ROUND 1 RESULTS

OPTION 1 – Try to take all the cans.

Tom is usually a pretty serious guy, and often he is telling the truth. This time it was no different. Anyone seen attempting to take Tom's backup food supply soon found themselves being shot to death.

Players who chose Option 1 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.

OPTION 2 – Try to take one of the cans

This option ended up being just as poor of a choice as Option 1...

Players who chose Option 2 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.

OPTION 3 – Try to have one person cover while the other takes all of the cans (for teamplay).

For some it may have seemed like a better idea to go in with someone covering them. However, Tom was watching the whole thing go down. First, he aimed at the one doing the "covering" and then at the one who had been trying to get the cans... but was now trying to run away...

Players who chose Option 3 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.

OPTION 4 – Try to have one person cover while the other takes one of the cans (for teamplay)

This was a different option with the same results as the previous one.

Players who chose Option 4 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.

OPTION 5 – Try to make friends by shouting friendly to Tom.

"Hello, Tom? I'm friendly." Some of the players began to shout.

A short silence was broken by a loud reply.

"Well I'm NOT!" Tom shouted back from somewhere out in the woods. "Leave or die trying!"

Not willing to risk any further discussion, the players who chose Option 5 took off into the woods.

The sound of gunfire thankfully did not follow them.

Players who chose Option 5 have now progressed to the next round.

OPTION 6 - Try to run!

After taking one look at the sign, many of the players took off running... and made it out alive.

Players who chose Option 6 have now progressed to the next round.

DAY 8 ROUND 2 SCENARIO

Thankful to be alive, the remaining survivors cut through the woods and thicket. Soon, a concrete path is found meandering through the wooded landscape. Not sure if that is a good sign or not, the players cautiously follow it for a bit.

After a distance, they hear a trickling stream somewhere in the woods. Then, they notice something lying on the road ahead.

It is a dead snake, but it has also been run over. Sometime recently a vehicle must have passed this way...

All that aside, this snake could mean food, one way or another. Let's see what the options are.

OPTIONS

OPTION 1 – Try to run away.

OPTION 2 – Try to eat the snake raw.

OPTION 3 – Try to cook the snake using a Magnesium Firestarter.

OPTION 4 – Try to leave the snake there and use it as bait to see if something else comes to get it.

OPTION 5 – Try to take the snake to the stream and use it as bait to see if something else comes to get it.

PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY

All players who have signed up and want to play must reply to this post with 24 hours in order to avoid elimination and continue gameplay. All players must reply to my option comment below, not to this post. I will reply to my own posts with the options each in their own comments, and the players must reply to whichever comment has the option that they wish to choose.

IMPORTANT: The Backup Food Supplies are in one ration portions, which can feed one player and keep them alive for two days. Also, if for some reason you decide to change your choice prior to the 24 hour response time cutofff, please contact @novaatebatman to make sure you are registered under the correct option.

Also, please remember to include your inventory in your reply. Example:

I have gas, a magnesium firestarter, a NOTE, a PLANT FIELD GUIDE and a pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition. I must eat by the end of Day 8. I choose Option 3 this round.

As always, please remember that all outcomes are predetermined. In an elimination survival game, most of your are going to die eventually. Nothing personal.

A Special Thanks to @liberty-minded for Providing the Title Gif and the GAME OVER Gif and a very Special Thanks to @novaatebatman for all the help keeping track of this mess.
