Day 1 Round 1 begins now!
GAMEPLAY PREFACE
As a forewarning to all teams engaging in play, please remember that this is a survival game. That means that in order to have a team win, other teams will not survive. It is very possible that multiple teams will not even make it past the first few rounds of gameplay.
Some rounds are more realistic while others are random things that I come up. When I come up with a scenario and the options that go along with it, I pick some that will allow teams who choose that option to survive while other ones will cause them to perish. Those decisions are made prior to posting. When teams choose their options, therefore, the outcomes for those options have already been determined.
If your team perishes, it is not because I chose to intentionally kill off your team. It is because your team chose an option that was determined ahead of time to lead to death. I want to have fun and create the best game that I can without having people be offended that they did not win my game. Last round only one person won… Please keep that in mind.
DAY 1 ROUND 1 SCENARIO
For the past few days, things have cooled off a bit in the city. The majority of the survivors are keeping to themselves and staying in “their own areas.” Many have grown weary of the violence and death and things had settled down a bit. Until last night…
Last night the severe gunfire began once again. Either someone in town found another stash of ammo, or, even worse, someone new is in town. If it doesn’t stop soon, they will probably be sweeping the town and gather whatever goods remain while eliminating any resistance. Your team would rather not stick around to find out. At least the last shots fired were still a little distant.
Your stomach groans once again. You’ll need food soon. In fact, if you do not eat before the end of the day tomorrow (gameplay), you’ll wake up dead on day 3 (gameplay). To have enough energy to successfully flee town, you should probably eat first. Your team begins to research the building that you are in. You know every nook and cranny is empty, but you can’t help but hope.
In disappointed frustration, you both slump to the floor. Sitting there is the desolate silence, you begin to hear a slight clicking noise. As you listen, wait, and wonder, a creature emerges from under a shelving unit.
It’s a rat. It doesn’t look incredibly healthy, but it doesn’t exactly look diseased either. Between the two of you, there is a good chance that you could capture it and kill it. There is a slight risk of being bitten, but it could be worth the risk. The rat is big enough that you both could get a meal out of it. You still have some fluid in your lighter, so you could cook it. However, the smoke and smell may attract others. Could you just eat it raw?
Of course, if the rat has been eating well enough to stay alive, perhaps it knows where some food is. It may even have a stash of food hidden somewhere nearby. Could your team just observe it until it leads you to its food supply or hidden stash. That certainly is an option, but will it work? Maybe you should just move on and forget about the food for a while…
TEAM RESPONSIBILITY
Your team has four options this round. Choose one option and reply below within 24 hours.
- OPTION 1 – Try to kill, cook, and eat the rat.
- OPTION 2 – Try to kill the rat and eat it raw.
- OPTION 3 – Try to follow the rat to find its food supply or hidden stash.
- OPTION 4 – Forget about the rat and move on.
PRIZE POOL
The current prize pool is 100 STEEM.
GAMEPLAY PROGRESSION AND TEAMS
I’ll do my best to keep this game moving along, but I will need your help to do so. Please do your best to reply promptly. Some team discussion in the comment section adds a fantastic element to the game as well, but you may want to keep your cards close and not give out too much information to other teams.
I may reward everyone who participates even when they perish, just like I did last time, but I am not sure yet. A few more teams need to be formed and named, so please see the comment section below. There are three comments I will post below:
- FULLY REGISTERED TEAMS – If you show up in that section, please reply with your choice within 24 hours. That is all that I need from you at this time.
- TEAMS THAT NEED NAMES OR TEAM MATES – Some teams still need names of team mates. Please provide that information to me as well as your choice for this round. See the “Users Who Need Teams” comment below if you are still looking for a partner.
- USERS THAT NEED TEAMS – If your name appears on that list, please find a team mate and form a team. Then pick a team name and make your choice. Thanks.
Obviously, there is a lot that needs to happen on my end to make sure that this game can progress as it needs to. Make sure your team name and username is accurate below. I’ll tag these posts in #steem-pocalypse every day, so please check that tag or my blog page every day to participate in the next round! Who’s ready? I’m excited!
THE FOLLOWING TEAMS NEED TO SUPPLY EITHER TEAM NAMES OR TEAM MATES NAMES. If you are in need of a team mate, please see the list in my other comment.

Whatta ya think, @whatageek? I'm thinking Option 3, but that's just because eating a rat doesn't sound appealing to me, even though it would probably be fine. Option 4 could also be good, so we can get away from this gunfight a-brewin'.

You read my mind, I was thinking 3 as well. I do think there might be deaths after today but don't want you to starve again. 3 unless you really want to move on.

I concur. We're going for a sort of "reverse Pied Piper" option - were unlike the legend, we will be following the rats in the hope that they lead us to a better outcome; hopefully with food on-route (perhaps a drive-by McDonalds that's still operating).

After much debate on the pros and cons of rat tatare or rat flambe, @sammie and @mr-mooch came to the decision that observation may be the best option at this point. We're taking Option 3 and seeing where rattus goes, hoping that it will head away from the noisy gunshots and commotion.

Elites hidden underneath the earth were also @vcelier and @fingersik. They were trying to save whoever they deemed could benefit humanity after the depopulation plan ends. However their effort has been detected. Clash happened. @vcelier and @fingersik with handful of their followers battled against the rest of the elites, but it was a futile try. They recognized that only option how to stay alive is to flee. Their followers sacrificed themselves so they could make their way out from the bunker. There emerged “The Disinterred Ones”, covetous of revenge. But first things first. Without supplies they had to concentrate on survival. If they could amass survivors to raid the bunker, they could turn the tides once more. But then again…first things first… decision has to be made… The old hideout, where the team has found refuge, was totally empty. That’s why @fingers heard the weird noise and spotted a rat. Thing for a nobility completely alien, but food is food, so he contacted @vcelier via chips in their heads. Quick thoughts has been transferred between The Disinterred Ones. @fingersik was quickly persuaded by military veteran @vcelier. They planned every detail about capturing of the rat. The rat will be eaten RAW today, no matter what!

Team Foo(d) Fighters (aka, @daveks and @cognoscere) have decided to suck it up (literally) and go with option 2 (kill the rat and eat it raw).
We'll do our best to catch it, skin it, remove the entrails, and try to eat only the raw meat. Anyways, we hear that raw rat meat tastes just like chicken, yum!!!

I have doubt between 1 and 3. But as far as I know, rats do not make stocks and it's very difficult to follow them, so I'm more inclined to choose option 1. There is only one comment, as long as we prepare it, we risk being discovered. We can take this risk or is it better to eat it raw?

Eating it raw? No way.
Yes it is possible that we will be found. Maybe option 4 then? But if we dont eat the mice now we will have to choise some other food later on. Maybe this is the best we can find?

Option one. Build rock reflector to maximize stealth. Also helps conserve fuel. Now have rat skin string to begin snares and trapping.
And try to skip the liver as it can build up toxins. Discard before cooking.

Oy, this sounds like a lot of risk and I don't see much payout from a rat...and that stupid snakebite from game 1 was enough of a hassle xD. Team Zookeeper is going with Option 4 and ignoring the rat. Gotta save our energy for the return of a certain can-guarding, wife-slaughtering marksman.

@writingamigo, I'm not hungry enough to eat rat yet, cooked or raw, so I definitely want to pass on options 1 and 2. I am concerned that if we spend too much time chasing around after that darn rat, that the gunfire may not be so far off next time we hear it. That and this rat doesn't look like he has been eating too well lately. I'd suggest option 4, "Let's get the hell out of Dodge". But I am willing to play rat tracker for a while if you REALLY want to.

We are going option 4. I'm not going to assume that rat is disease free and even if it is, we would have to cook the hell out of it to eat it and that would for sure draw attention. The force will conjure up some soul food and flowt on.

Agreed Option 4. Moving in the darkness, using the lighter, shielded to briefly explore places The Force may find food or useful, easily carried items, while avoiding exposing the light, as to be a target. As the sound of gunfire slowly moves towards us, we move silently a swiftly away and toward the edge of the city. The Force be ninja styling.

@bilbop got the lighter so we don't trip the alarmy.
We hear fools poppin shots somewhere down the street,
Since my last reincarnation, he keeps droppin the beat.
I don't know what happened, @bilbop said I drank a potion,
Cracker barrel and Herp's wife's birthday made a commotion.
I remember a loud boom and rocks droppin like the bass,
Ate some barbecue and eagles flying through outer space.
