Play-Along-Pocalypse Season 1! STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 1 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 1 Round 1 Post by @Papa-Pepper

---

In the last round the players had to hide. The city was too dangerous during the daylight hours to be roaming about. If you do that too long, you just might become someone’s lunch! I wonder which options the players used, and how it worked out for them. Are there any casualties already?

---

DAY 1 ROUND 1 RESULTS

Three options for potential hiding places were given last round. While they were hiding, the players were also looking around for useful items. Let’s see how they did.

OPTION 1 - Try to hide in the van until nightfall and search it for useful items while you are there.

Hiding in the van worked, and no one found the players who chose this option. They did hear some people a few times, but no one stopped to look in. While looking around, they found a plastic bottle with a cap, and some hose.

When nightfall began to creep in, they tried starting the van. It turned on, but did not start. Shucks. If it had started perhaps they could have left the city in a matter of minutes instead of having to creep out on foot. Hmm… the gas gauge showed some gas though… they looked at the hose and bottle.

They snuck out and siphoned a bottle full of gasoline. Of course the bottle was not an approved container, but such laws meant little now. At least they had some fuel to possibly start fires or perhaps use for starting a different vehicle.

The Players who chose Option 1 last time now have a bottle of gasoline. Please add “I have gas” to your next reply on the option comments. If players do not reply with their inventory, I will consider their items misplaced or lost.

---

OPTION 2 - Try to hide in the flower shop until nightfall and search it for useful items while you are there.

Thankfully, the flower shop also proved itself to be a safe place to hide. It was burned up and broken in enough that no one stopped to check it out. Behind the counter, the players who chose Option 2 searched around.

Though most things were charred beyond recognition, or at least charred beyond use, they did find a knife. It was worth taking, as no one likes being unarmed in a situation like this.

The Players who chose Option 2 last time now have a knife. Please add “I have knife” to your next reply on the option comments. If players do not reply with their inventory, I will consider their items misplaced or lost.

---

OPTION 3 - Try to hide in the tree until nightfall and search it for useful items while you are there.

Though it took a little effort to climb high enough in the tree to lose visibility from below, the players who chose Option 3 made it up the tree and out of sight.

The bugs were pretty bad in the tree, but the hiding place worked. Unfortunately, the players could find nothing of use there, and the tree was not even edible.

The Players who chose Option 3 last time found nothing but are still alive. They have no items in their inventory.

---

Day 1 Round 2 SCENARIO

The players are moving quietly through the dark city. So far there has been no sign of anyone else, which may not be a good sign. Usually the activity at night is a little more than this. Maybe it is just a quiet night.

Up ahead, they see a glow. Cautiously they advance.

It is a beat up old truck, with the doors left open. The dome lights are on, so the battery on the truck is still good, which may not be a good sign. Obviously, someone has been here recently. The players cautiously sneak up to get a closer look.

There on the passenger seat are three guns; a pistol, a shotgun, and a rifle. Most likely whoever was driving this vehicle is nearby somewhere, and may have more weapons. However, it is dark enough that it may be worth the risk to try to grab something from the vehicle quick, or maybe even steal the whole vehicle!

Hmmm... it does seem risky, and could even be a set up, but a chance to potentially get a firearm or even more than that may not be a bad risk to take... I wonder what the options are.

---

OPTIONS

*OPTION 1 - Try to grab all three of the firearms and sneak off.

*OPTION 2 – Try to start the truck and drive away with all the firearms.

*OPTION 3 – Try to run away and leave the truck and firearms alone.

*OPTION 4 - Try to just grab the pistol and then run away.

*OPTION 5 - Try to just grab the shotgun and then run away.

*OPTION 6 - Try to just grab the rifle and then run away.

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.

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

I have gas and I choose Option 3 this round.

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