Play-Along-Pocalypse Season 1! STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 6 Day 4 Round 2!

novaatebatman (55)in #playalongpocalypse • 7 years ago (edited)

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 4 Round 2 Post by @Papa-Pepper

In the last round the players met a stranger. Not being sure who it was, they were uncertain how to proceed.

DAY 4 ROUND 1 RESULTS

OPTION 1 - Do not eat either plant.

The players who chose Option 1 survived the last round, but obviously, they did not find any food.

The Players who chose Option 1 have now progressed to the next round.

OPTION 2 – Eat a whole bunch of this plant.

The players who chose Option 2 began to eat a lot of this plant. It tasted pretty good, but their bodies began to have a hard time. Apparently, after years of purchasing foods from grocery stores, their bodies were not accustomed to nutrient-rich raw food.

This plant is Purslane and is a wonderful wild edible. I featured it in my The Edible Outdoors Series last year, and we love enjoying it.

The players who chose Option 2 got a good meal and now have to eat prior to the end of Day 6 in order to avoid starvation.

OPTION 3 – Eat a whole bunch of this plant.

The players who chose Option 3 ate a while bunch of this plant, which is a type of Spurge. It has a bitter, milky sap inside of it which is poisonous, and in large enough doses, can kill cattle, and in this case, STEEM-Pocalypse participants.

The players who chose Option 3 have died a violent death at the hand of tiny plants. Please feel free to join back in next season.

OPTION 4 – Eat a whole bunch of both plants.

Unfortunately, the delicious, healthy Purslane could not counteract the deadly quantity of Spurge...

The players who chose Option 4 have also died a violent death at the hand of tiny plants. Please feel free to join back in next season.

OPTION 5 - Shoot the plants but do not eat them, and then move on.

Shooting the plants used up 2 rounds of ammunition. Additionally, it helped draw attention with the gunfire and lead to revealing your location. Soon, a hungry man peeked around the corner of a nearby building with his rifle...

I guess we know what he will be eating tonight.

The Players who chose Option 5 have been shot to death. Please feel free to join back in next season.

Day 4 Round 2 SCENARIO

Finally, the players reach the edge of the city. However, only one path leads out over here.

Hmmm.... perhaps this is not the best path out of the city. However, skirting the edge of the city may be even more dangerous. Either way, it looks like last round was the last chance for food before the end of Day 4, so hopefully the players either ate last round or have a backup food supply.

Should the players take this path out of the city? Should they travel along the edge of the city instead? Should they just curl up in the fetal position and sob uncontrollably?

OPTIONS

OPTION 1 - Try to take the path with the sign that says "DANGEROUS CONDITIONS EXIST."

OPTION 2 – Try to skirt the edge of the city and look for a better way out.

OPTION 3 – Try to sob uncontrollably in the fetal position.

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: If for some reason you decide to change your choice prior to the 24 hour response time cutoff, please contact @novaatebatman directly so that 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 backup food supply and a pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition. 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.
