I, @lturner, being of a relieved mind, choose Option 5. I am quite pleased to have survived the risky second floor of the former sporting goods store and to have finally added to my inventory.

• I have 1 knife
• I have 1 magnesium firestarter
• I need to eat by Day 4 Round 2

For those of us who watched Papa Pepper's interview with @dwells just before Season 6 began, it was interesting to note that he said he's very interested in people teaming up this round. He tried out the idea in the last season but said he didn't like the way he accidentally had team members dying off before there was a chance to have any really good team play. His goal, he said, was to encourage community and interaction.

From this, I've concluded that not only is it safe to approach and attempt to team up, but that there are some good gameplay options coming up. My only regret is that I don't think there is a choice in who you're teamed with so I can't choose a buddy. I'm also not sure how it works choosing a team option and if it would just be frustrating to be teamed with someone who always wants to do something different than I do. But I'm willing to give it a shot and hope for a good team buddy!
