STEEM-POCALYPSE SURVIVAL GAME - Season 3 Recap & IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR SEASON 4

in steem-pocalypse •  7 years ago  (edited)

In about 24 hours, I'll make the official sign up post for STEEM-Pocalypse Season 4.


So far, I have given away a lot of STEEM running this game. In the first two seasons, everyone who played got paid! Soon, you will have your own chance at winning some serious STEEM.

WHAT IS STEEM-POCALYPSE?


For those of you who do not already know, STEEM-Pocalypse is a daily survival game that @papa-pepper runs here on steemit in an elimination style. Since I do not restrict participants, as many steemians who want to join in can.

Each day, a scenario is presented with multiple options. Each team must choose one option each day and reply with a decision within 24 hours of the post. Some options lead to death, while other options allow the team to survive.

In each round, the scenario presented will vary. Some are educational rounds based upon realistic situations where real information is applied, while other rounds are random situations that I create. Either way, the outcomes of the options are predetermined. Therefore, the teams that choose options which are predetermined to lead to dead perish while teams that choose options that lead to survival continue on in the gameplay.

Also, each team must eat at least once every two days of gameplay (four rounds) in order to avoid starvation. Basically, that is how it works.

PREVIOUS SEASONS


In Season 1, @herpetologyguy took the win and pocketed 325 STEEM! Here is what he had to say about it.

The opportunity to connect with the community and make a little money all while playing a game is exactly the kind of creativity steemit seems to strive for. We see what I like to call the three "F's": friends, funds and fun! (And getting your wife murdered by forest snipers is secretly hilarious!



In Seaon 2, @lukmarcus & @kambrysia outlasted the rest and took home 400 STEEM! That was a job well done!



Most recently @louiscpt, @deepapoudel & @aashishkandel were the final players of the game. Unfortunately, they all died, but that doesn't mean that they did not win! 800 STEEM in prizes was split between the teams! Here are a few of their thoughts.

Well done to all the players it was great fun playing the STEEM-POCALYPSE survival game contest with you all .

It was a well play, we had backup food supply, we had guns, what else do we need to survive? yep! this taught me something... sometimes resources aren't enough, a wrong decision could me fatal!! It was a nice play, and a more adventurous and fun way of learning nature and also survivorship.

It was really a great excitement, and this is all because of you @aashishkandel, I would have never reached here alone, and you made it to the winning, wow!

CHANGES FOR SEASON 4


Though steemians will have the option to team up later on, Season 4 will start as solo play. In the previous seasons I have used a Dice Roll or Coin Flip to make decisions for teams that do not reply within the 24 hour deadline. This has helped some teams make it rather far without any input from themselves. I would hate to have a "no show" team who did not respond beat other users who are active and participating.

Therefore, for Season 4, individual steemians will have to make it through multiple days of successfully responding prior to the 24 hour deadline in order to team up and continue. This will make sure that the participants are committed and active users.

Since we will start up with some solo play and not know for certain who will form which teams later on, during the first few rounds teams will have the opportunity to gather resources and tools which may help them later on. This will also provide an opportunity for users to make themselves more attractive to potential teammates later on, since they will have more to offer and bring more the table.

Just like last season, not everyone will get paid for playing. The final few teams will each receive a portion of the total pot.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the sign up post! I'm looking forward to seeing how many of you want to enter, just make sure that you will be available at least once in every 24 hour period so that you can commit to play!

Maybe attach a ram on the front of it? lol

I was actually hoping to go a bit more mideval with a catapult & burning oil...

Lol that sounds like an engineering nightmare to put on a canoe XD

This sounds really fun! I am totally gonna sign up!

It should be a really good time! I'm glad that you plan on joining @farmstead!

interesting ive been seeing this pop up and have never clicked.

There is a lot of STEEM to potentially win most seasons. Might as well join in if you want to. Sign up post tomorrow!

I've heard about this before. It seems like a really cool idea. I'm in, I'll stay tuned for the sign up post. Are the teams random?

You will have to wait and see how the teams form this season. Thanks for your interest!

Very Interesting! Why didn't I see this before? Look forward to tomorrow.

At least you have seen it now!

I'll participate!

Sounds great! Love the idea of the solo start and agree that this will get everyone more involved from day 1! Nice, looking forward to it!

More involved players would be a huge help starting out, especially on my end! Thanks!

Interesting!

Yes I wanted to be solo for so long lol

Now you can be!

So very ready. And SO glad it's solo, because that's how I was gonna roll anyway. Let's get this show on the road!

Cool, I'm happy that you plan on joining @sircork!

This is probably my most looked-forward-to thing to do since I got here. It's an absolutely brilliant game idea, @papa-pepper and speaking emphatically, as a jaded 30 year career tech veteran, who also runs a prepper and outdoors enthusiasts, pro-2A, anti-gubmint, apocalypse planning 4000 member facebook community and online gear store, I can assure you, I'm thrilled to take time off from coaching other minnows like me who have never blogged before on posting skills and steemit usage and working at promoting stuff on my community page at that dying social network site we all used to be on and just play YOUR game for a change. Some me-time :) And I plan to crush it!!!! Or die trying! :)

I'm definitely in. Was gona enter as team "SteemBirds" for round 4. For solo play I will be just be "SteemBird."

That sounds good! I'll see you later!

still kinda new to all this.
but this sounds interesting .think I might give this a shot, keep seeing your name w/ good post's

Great news, I'll be first to sign up tomorrow!!

I'll give you 5 SBD if you actually are!

You're On!

I'll race you!

You're on.

Can't wait!

But you have to!

Can't wait for the next season not only will this give me an opportunity to start out on my own but to also get to know steemians for future rounds.

This is great,
@Timbo

That is right, we can interact and meet a lot more people here too!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Looking forward to join . Seems interesting .

It should be a great time. I'll be looking forward to having you join in!

The change in plan is awesome!! I'm in!

I am glad that you support it and agree! Looking forward to having you be alive again!

Yeah. It sucks to be dead you know :p
Hopefully I'll atleast get past round 3 this time..

Sounds awesome Papa, I can't wait to sign up for Season 4! It's definitely more intriguing this time that we can sign up individually and later form teams depending on what resources we've accumulated to that point. Count me in!

Yeah, I am continually seeking ways to make it better! So far, so good!

You've done a fantastic job organizing this series as well as funding other great Steemit contests. Can't wait to see what you have planned in Season 4!

Great concept I'll happily participate this seasons!

I think that the game has been developing really well over the seasons. Thanks!

excited and waiting for the signup post.

Cool! Thanks!

Sounds like fun!

I am hoping that it will be a lot of fun! I'll see you next post!

Cool, looking forward to it!

I am excited! Maybe ill learn some survival skills, like where the astronaut ice cream grows and stuff. Thanks @papa-pepper

lets hope season 4 has a winner

They may have died, but they still won the STEEM! We will see, could it be you?

fingers crossed ... you just never know :)

Se ve muy bueno

Gracias @nitza!

De nada

Thank you @papa-pepper for this awesome game,
the changes are good,

we are hoping to see more excitement on the upcoming season :)

Yesssssss rematch time. @finux and @malicered hope you're joining.

Count me in. Sounds like lots of fun!!

This is gonna be fuuuuun :)

Why not increase the time to 48 hours? There are multiple reasons why someone is not able to post in 24 hours, especially with the time zone differences.

This game is so mush fun and you learn along the way so many interesting facts about nature I can wait for season 4 to begin and the new challenges. Thank you @papa-pepper that you created this awesome game

This sounds like a blast!

It has been a lot of fun so far, and some people made a lot of STEEM by playing!

So excited for this one, great going @papa-pepper ! Cannot wait to signup.

This is going to be nuts with so many people. I'm definitely going to try and keep up.

Looking forward to join as well! Yesterday I read the whole 3rd season in one go, superb! Respect for all the time and effort you put into this @papa-pepper!

Oh, oh, oh, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, [nearly pees himself in excitement]

I'm really interested to follow along from the beginning of a season. I am resteeming this. My Homesteading friends will hopefully find this as interesting as I do.

I'm liking the change, as I feel like I got my partner killed last time because I wasn't able to collaborate. I really hated that my decision got him killed.

I'm definitely excited for the next round! Thanks for all of your effort @papa-pepper

Oh great! I am new to steemit,looking forward to this :D !

Love this idea! So excited to be able to play this time around. Cheers!!!

I'm just getting back into Steemit after a brief hiatus partially beyond my control. There's a lot to catch up on.

Would it be too much to request a tag when you post the new sign up? If not, I understand. You get a lot of applicants.

Never been in one can't wait to compete!
