STEEM-POCALYPSE SURVIVAL GAME SEASON 5 - DAY 1 ROUND 1 - 25 SBD Prize Pool So Far
THE STEEM-POCALYPSE HAS BEGUN!
Please be fully aware that this is an elimination game where only the players that are already signed up can participate. Anyone not already signed up that is interesting in playing must wait until Season 6 to do so.
This season @NovaAteBatman will be helping me keep track of the gameplay choices. A list of all current players will be provided in the comment section below. Anyone not on that list will not be allowed to participate.
Please also make sure to reply to the Option Comment below. For each option provided, I will make a reply to my own post. Players should find the reply of the option that they wish to choose and reply to that comment. This will also help streamline gameplay as we move forward.
DAY 1 ROUND 1 SCENARIO
The players find themselves in a major city in the southern half of the United States. A lot of propaganda had been run about an upcoming attack looming on the horizon for weeks before the power mysteriously failed, never to return. Of course panic set in, sewers overflowed, people became desperately cutthroat, and the world as we knew it disappeared almost overnight.
The players were able to hide out and survive off of the canned goods and other nonperishable foods that they had on hand for sometime, but that supply has now run out, and they are considering exactly how to proceed.
In the city below, gunshots and fires pop up everywhere, and very few people can still be seen moving around during the day. At night, violence fills the streets and people have even began to eat one another. Hunting others for their next meal is a common trend in certain gangs and groups of survivors. All the players know is that they do not want to be the next meal.
The building that they are in has many floors to it, and the time to begin working their way towards the end of town has come. It is not quite day anymore where they would be a very open target on the streets, but the deadly violence of night has not yet set in. Fortunately, the players have no real supplies or tools, so they are basically empty-handed.
OPTIONS
Options are limited this round. Also, these first few rounds will be used to weed out anyone who is not available for daily gameplay. As we progress, many options will lead to death, so always choose carefully.
* OPTION 1 - Get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
* OPTION 2 - Get down to the main floor, search it a bit, and then get moving as quickly as possible.
* OPTION 3 - Search the floor that you are on and then get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY
Each player must reply to the my comment below containing the Option that they wish to choose within the next 24 hours. Any players who do not reply in time will be eliminated from gameplay and have to wait until Season 6 to try again.
PRIZE POOL
The current Prize Pool is 25 SBD.
A Special Thanks to @liberty-minded for Providing the Title Gif.
Until next time…

REPLY TO THIS COMMENT TO CHOOSE OPTION 2.
I choose the option 2
Just run will probably make sure I'll survive today, but gather some useful itens for tomorrow might be the diference between life and death.
in the others room of my floor may have someone who still have something but he obviously will not want to share, and he/she could become violent, o even he/she could be starving and tried to kill me in order to have the next meal.
I'll have to pass trough the main floor anyway if there is any threat in there I would have to face anyway, so why not take a little time to search for something useful and also it is easier to escape from an attack.
I pick this option to search the lower floor. Need to hurry but hopefully there will be enough to light to see and find something that will help me.
Alright let's take a risk. I'll go to the main floor and if there is danger I don't have to out run danger, I just have to out run the rest of you. Option 2 is for me.
Ok, let's check the main foor!
OPTION 2
So cute as usual :)
Can't wait to see your doodles. Makes the gameplay so much more interesting. :)

Good to be back in the game...
I did not see you on the sign up post: https://steemit.com/steem-pocalypse/@papa-pepper/steem-pocalypse-survival-game-contest-season-5-sign-up-now
oohhh noo papa, that's utter apocalyse... I didn't even see a sign up post... My Bad.. I think I am doomed fr this season
Option 2. I'm checking the main floor.
Option 2. Trying to grab some loot from the main floor and get out of there.
@rideofpassion - Option 2 for me....
option 2 for me :)
Let the games begin ! Option 2 for me .
I'm for this option. It is unlikely, that the people flee to the sewers, and brought with them tools and weapons. Need to find something on 1 floor. And then to move as quickly as possible. @papa-pepper, don't kill me immediately, if the correct option is 3. Give me a chance. I'll more useful to you. I'm a resourceful :=))
Option 2 for this guy!
Option 2.
@Scorchdojo - option 2
My option is this one
You're not signed up for this season. You'll have to wait until next season.
Option 2 for @cryptofarmer
Looking while moving! This option 2for me
Im choosing option 2
I choose option 2.
option 2! Thanks !!
I hope I am the @st3ller listed in the comment. If I am, option 2.:)
@theabsolute chooses option 2, to search the main floor, then get moving. Obviously there is nothing of use on our current floor or we would already have it. There must be a weapon of some kind on the first floor amongst the ruins of deceased civilians and cannibals.
Ill stagger down the stairs and hopefully stumble upon some goodies. No man eaters please!
Main floor, here I come!
I choose Option 2
glad to join in, just hopping to be useful for you guys and not being the reason to kill us all...
Option 2!!!
This one. Number 2 is guud
Option 2 for me!
I vote option #2.
If our primary goal is to get out of town, I don't want to be stuck on one of the building's top floors. At the same time, it could be helpful to do a quick search for supplies before heading out on the open road. Option 2 gives the opportunity to leave quickly if something goes wrong, but still be able to hopefully find something useful.
Choosing Option 1 may get me on the road quickly, but I will be unprepared for any future problems. Choosing Option 3 means I may not get out to the street until after dark - too dangerous!
Wouldn't a search take just as long either before or after running down the stairs?
Yes, but searching downstairs gives the option for a quick escape if something goes wrong!
I guess that all depends on how the story is written. We will soon find out. I'm nervous as heck! It would really be disappointing to be killed on the first day! Only the author knows which is the best moves to make.
So far, few have chosen NOT to search, but that may have been the correct answer and a whole lot of us will be wiped out on day 1. I'm shaking in my chair.
I'm hoping that the choices aren't just arbitrary, and the winner is just the luckiest chooser. I'd like to think there are subtle clues within the text itself (or past posts from papa-pepper).
I'm new to the game, so I hope you are correct. I followed the last season and it all made sense, but even what makes sense could have multiple outcomes, so it will be a good amount of luck in the end.
i am choosing option 2.
I'll choose option numero dos mi amigo,
Hopping the border for teeth do we go?
I gotta get one of those cards papa-pablano,
I heard brujas make a mean brew mexicano.
I'm just a wizard and I'm trying to survive,
No Día de Muertos, por favor, let's thrive!
Option 2 for me (@lrich) ... Got to get some supplies and boogie on out!
option 2 here!!
Okay papa, let's do this!!!
Im choosing option 2 in hopes that i can find a gun. Thats something that would normally be found at an entry point
Option 2 for me. Searching quietly as I can.
I would like to choose option #2.
I choose option 2: My little bunny feet scampered down the stairs to the main floor. My ears alert and my nose sniffing the air for danger I explored then headed for the door.
Oh look... dinner !
Yes come closer. I sharpened my teeth this morning on the bones of the last human who tried to eat me.
20 minutes later
chomping sounds
A Multiverse... one of my favorite webcomics XD
That's too funny! LOL. Thanks for sharing that. I've never heard of that comic before.
Option 2 for @miniature-tiger.
Option 2.
Hi there ill take option 2
option 2 for me.
I'd like to choose option 2, going down to the main floor for sum lootin'!
Option 2 it is..
Option 2 please.
OPTION 2 for me.
Option 2 for me please
Option 2 for me :)
I choose this choice since I rather not go in the wild without anything and not spend too much standing in one place
Option 2 for me
Playing safe gave me a horrible infectious death last season. Time to be adventurous and brave. I have a strong feeling, there's plenty of ammunition/food hidden on the main floor.
Option 2.
REPLY TO THIS COMMENT TO CHOOSE OPTION 3.
Option 3 for @mindfreak
Good to be back.
Option 3 for @walterz
Glad to be back to the game
I choose option 3! Let's roll! 🤗
I check out the window of the abandoned building to see if anybody is outside. I can see pretty well to the entrance. I see nobody coming so I take my opportunity to check out the floor for supplies, as the first is easily accessible by looters. I gather what I find and then I check outside once more, then go downstairs to head out.
I take a second to say good bye to my generous shelter.
Option 3
Up until now, we've all stayed huddled near the food supplies on this floor, hoping to protect it from looters. No one has been willing to go off on their own, or even in small groups, to explore the rest of the floor, much less the building. Who knows what....or who....may be waiting in the shadows. We've all been much safer together, right here, where we can guard the food and each other.
Has anyone else been in this building? Oh, definitely. We've heard the noises coming from the floors below....crashing, shooting, screaming. Bad things have gone on just below us. We've been fortunate in that our floor is so high up. It gets hot in the south, even in the winter, and even the toughest gangs have thus far been unwilling to climb a few stories of stairs in the heat. If the power were on and the elevators working, we'd have been invaded and likely slaughtered already. Then again, if we had power, none of this would be happening in the first place. Everything would be normal, like it's supposed to be.
But now, we have no more food. We managed to dole out enough from the last two cans of black beans last night for everyone to have a spoonful. The last few bottles of water went with that meal, if you can call a single bite a meal. We can't stay here anymore, or we'll starve. Actually, in the heat and crushing humidity, most of us would probably die of thirst before starving became a distant option.
We have to leave.
It's not like we didn't know this day would come. The longer the power stayed off, the more likely it became that it would never come back on. The food wouldn't last forever, especially with so many of us. So now, we have to make our way out of town, into the country. It's got to be safer there, with wild plants to eat, free running water to drink, and, hopefully, no gangs. We might be able to make a go of it in the country, homesteading and creating society anew, without power. I mean, people did it a century ago. Why should we be any less capable?
Getting out of town safely is the key, and the hardest part of this whole thing. We have no supplies. Literally nothing to bring with us. No food, no water, no clothing but what we already wear, and no means to defend ourselves except with our own bodies. Some people here can fight really well, and are skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The problem is, most of that won't do any good against the weapons the gangs have hoarded and use with abandon.
We've taken a group meeting, and have decided the best thing to do is to divide our numbers in half. One half, the weaker ones, young, old, ill, disabled, and pregnant women will stay here, guarding each other and our empty food pantry. The other half, me among them, will search the rest of this floor. We've only just been in this small part of it. Who knows what else might be here? More food? Water? Blankets? Medicine? Clothing? Weapons? We can use any of it. Any little thing we find has the potential to help us get safely out of town.
I don't think anyone else is on this floor except us, since we haven't heard anything that sounded like it was here, but you never know. That's why so many of us are going together. Safety in numbers, you know?
The goal is to sweep the floor, looking in every nook and cranny of it, bagging what we find that may be useful, then getting out on the street and heading out of town before it gets dark. You don't want to travel after dark here.
If we're very lucky, we'll find what we need to get us safely out of town before dark, and maybe even some things to help us start a new life in the country.
We're heading out to explore the rest of this floor now. Wish us luck.
I have lost track of time since being stranded in this loft. The view is beautiful, well other than all the explosions and death below me. My food is nearly gone, all I have left is this last sip of water and a few pieces of crust from bread that was already drier than sand. It won’t be long before I starve to death. As I can see it, I have two options, stay here and search this floor for more food or get out of this building and out of town as quickly as possible. I could search the rest of the building but I am sure there would be nothing left to find. I fear my time is running short. If I wait any longer the sun will set, the dark times will start, and I don’t want to end up like Kai. Oh my sweet Kai, she couldn’t handle being in this building and trapped like a hamster in a cage. I don’t know what happened to her after she left but I imagine it wasn’t good. I miss her company. The streets are clear of people and I figure that I have a couple of hours left to get out of this place before I follow the same fate as Kai. I need to make a decision and now. I stop stare at the yellows and reds in the sky as the sunsets and head for the door. I must find more supplies or else I won’t last long out there. I will search this floor and then move on. Let’s just hope that after I find some food or maybe a weapon, it’s not too late to get out of town.
I choose option 3 and I wish the best to everyone else.
OPTION 3 - Search the floor that you are on and then get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
Gotta get food, shotgun for the zombies and energy packs!!
Well since I was staying on this floor at least need to grab my road trip mixtape and walkman, the road might get long. So option 3
Option 3 please.
Has anyone seen a brown stuffed teddy bear? I know I left it on this floor. I'm not leaving till I find it. Please help me search the floor I'm on to find my little buddy.
Ok here u go.. Let's get moving...
I shall lend you a hand, my
deliciousfriend !Searching this floor first!
Option 3
Feels good the be back! Option 3 please.
Option 3
Option #3 for me
Yes please. Wouldn’t mind staying in my bed on this floor for longer XD
I choose Option 3
I'll search the floor that I'm in, I may be able to find some food or other useful thing in the others room that someone has forgotten or died before use it.
Option 3 for @randomness.
Option 3 is for me!
Day 15
Dear Diary,
My meager food and water supply is all but gone. Leaving is the only option now. The guns shots and fires are getting closer to the building so this was inevitable anyway. I will need to pry the boards off my door to get out but I have decided to search this floor first and then get the hell out of here. I think I am the only one up here, or at least I haven't heard anyone else. I'm hoping that means I might be able to find some supplies up here before I head out. God I hope I can make it out of here and find her...
@starke
I choose option 3. I stayed enough in one place, I slept with an eye open, can't really get a good peaceful sleep here, and my back it is a bit stuff.
Time to get moving, I am searching the floor to find something to eat and to defend myself for what is to come, if I don't find some kind of weapon, hell, I will I improvise something from what I can find.
I am so hungry, I will have to eat something, cockroaches are a good way to get some protein in me.
Worst case I will try to get a fire going, if I find the supplies, to cook some rats. I have to do everything that I can do to prepare for what is to come.
Option 3 please!
Option 3 for @cryptohustlin
Option 3.
Option 3 for me @howtostartablog.
Perhaps we'll make friends on this floor hehe
OPTION 3 - Search the floor that you are on and then get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
I will go with OPTION 3
Let's search this floor and GTFO!!
Option 3 for me please!
OPTION NO. 3
Good to be back 😃
Option 3
for sure
I am with Option 3 Let's Go.
3
Option 3 for me, I'm searching the floor I'm on :)
Option 3, mos def 👍
@scan0017 👀
Of course option 3 is the safest bet. I remember I need to grab my tactical ______ !
Option 3 for @doggedfi !
Option #3 for me please :) Search my own floor first.
One has to make sure to get enough equipment first!
Here we go again!
With all the chaos in recent days, I feel it won't be long till this building is looted. I scan the area for things to help with my traveling, preparing to leave
Option 3 for me.
Option #3 for me please
Option 3 is my choice. The 'main' floor likely doesn't have any rations left, due to the high traffic. I'd take my time and loot my floor thoroughly, hopefully find some food, and weapons, before heading out of the building. I wouldn't go straight out of the building as I have no weapons to fight back the likely ambush.
Now comes the bit where @papa-pepper makes us fight each other for what's on the floor...
Imagine if he actually made it so at one point everyone choosing an option meets... at once XS
Oh dear XD
"Hunger Games", anyone?
Haha, let's wait and find out
I'll take Option 3.
Just praying we don't begin slaughtering each other, all crowded on these floors XS
Option 3
Sorry, you did not sign up to play.
I choose option 3.
Option 3 I choose you
Option 3 for me
Here I am, scavenging again:P
Option 3 for me
Option 3 for me thanks
I take guns and a "bug"out bag everywhere I go so I am comfortable searching the floor that I am on before we hit the road.
@NovaAteBatman glad to see you are making your way around the steemit blockchain
Why thank you! I'm sure trying!
Ill also go with option 3
Think there is an evil surprise on the other floor and I need to find some supplies so running out immediatly is no option
I choose option #3.
Option 3 for me. Thank you @papa-pepper and @NovaAteBatman and good luck everyone!
I'm going to go with option 3. I'll search the floor I'm on, sounds relatively safe, I hope
3 for me
It's great to be back!!!
Immediately start searching the floor I'm on, all the while keeping an eye out for any threats..
Option 3 for me. :))
Hey hey Option 3 for me :)
Option 3 for me:)
I choose option 3!
Thinking that the ground floor might have a greater risk of passers by I decide to search the floor I am on. option three for me please. Great to be back for another season!
I'll start with option 3. Let the rampage begin lol.
I choose option 3
Option 3. If I can't trust the freaks on the open street, maybe I can't trust any freaks that might be hanging around the "main floor" either.
Option 3 for me! Thanks for all you do @papa-pepper and @NovaAteBatman! It's good to see you have some help this season!!
Before going anywhere I should search the floor I am on. Why haven't I done so by now? Right, I was gonna do it yesterday. Taking a careful look around... what is here anyway?
Option 3
Option #3 for @liberty-minded
I will choose option 3
I am voting for this~
good to be back
Option 3 for me!
I missed the sign up, but want to join! Option 3 if you are still taking new entrants! :D
Sorry, but sign up was closed.
I need to get notifications when you post!! :D
The notifications have been malfunctioning for a couple weeks now. It is your responsibility to check back regularly if you want to play the game!
@novaatebatman Thanks! I was thinking more along the lines of a service that notified me when a desired user has posted a blog post on Steemit! :D
Hmm...
I'll see what I can manage.
Nothing you need you to do! Would be a cool project for the Steemit community if no one has done this!
I'm with option 3! I am searching the floor I'm on first! :D
Option 3 for me please. Holy cow, there are a lot of us this time. Good luck everyone!
I prefer to search where it is safe, but you know, maybe it is a bad idea😂
Option #3 for this guy!
Option 3 please!
Option 3 for me!
Option 3 for me!
Option 3 :)
I choose this option. Let's see if I find anything.
I would have already checked the floor I was on before I did anything else. Never can be too careful. Matter of fact, I have my back to everyone else, until I know who I can trust.
Option 3 for me.
Found a Mossberg 500 Tactical Pump Shotgun underneath some loose floorboards. And 2 boxes of shells. I'm keeping them.
Option 3 for me i check the floor i am on then move on
I figure each individual upper floor has been searched less than the ground floor, so the chances to find something useful are greatest.
Option 3 for me.
Option 3.
Option 3 please :-)
Option 3!
Option 3 for me!
Option 3
Got to be sneaky and fast.
Gotta get some supplies (and hopefully some food!) before heading down to the street. Let's check out this floor first and then roll out:
OPTION 3 - Search the floor that you are on and then get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
Hoping to find something on our own floor!
Figured at the very least, we are all ready here and it should be safer to snoop around, downstairs we may be caught by surprise by other looters searching for shit.
Option 3 - I will choose to search the floor that i am in. and @papa-pepper you listed my name mistake. You listed as @prafu only. You missed the letter "l" at last.
I'll go with option 3
Option 3 for @happyme. I figure that the ground floor will have been searched by so many already and there will not be much left there. This floor (whatever it may be) would likely have a better chance of finding something useful.
Option #3 for me as well.
Upvote, Resteem, promote.
I was waiting for tonight for a couple days anxiously excited, you've got my suspense. :)
Option 3 for me!
I choose option 3.
I am back again
Option 3 - search the present floor and leave
Sorry, you missed the sign up.
option 3 for me please
Having a suspicious feeling he's been here before, @DeanLogic believes he should search the floor I am on and then get out on the street, because that's what the voice in his head commands that he do. If he were under control of his own actions, he would carefully search every floor as he headed down, before heading out on the street, but that's not in the cards....Hmmm... cards. @DeanLogic pulls out his Urban Survival Playing Cards and mutters "Shit, these are useless!" Throws them to the ground and begins to fondle around like teenager in the back seat during his first heavy petting date.
DeanLogic is alone, is carrying nothing and chooses Option 3
option 3
You are not signed up for this season. You will have to wait until next season to play.
Option 3 for me
Option 3 for me as well.
My first steem-pocalypse and my first option is 3. thanks @papa-pepper
I choose option 3.
Option 3 seems like the most logical option. Take a quick look around on what you can find on the floor that you are on and then get the hell out as soon as possible. Option 3 it is.
Option 3
Option 3 for @fraenk
It's the floor I am on, I can be pretty sure there won't be any huge surprises (good or bad) up here, but I'll also be pretty safe while I am searching before I head out.
The main floor might have other scavengers already... but I need something before I go.
This is my choice! I figure it will be safer to check this area b/c I would have prob heard people already.
OPTION 3 for @couch-potato
first thing first, let's see what is around.
I like toast 🍞
Option 3.
I hope i am in the game! I really hope so as i don't know if i sign up in time. If i am and i hope i am i will go for option 3 even do option 2 is ok as well but since it is the first stage i am guessing that @papa-pepper did this stage just to see who is going to be an active player and who is not.....
I choose option # 3!
i choose 3
Ratticus scurries around the current level of the building he is in, gathering anything that looks mildly interesting and possibly useful for survival and then hurries down the stairs and quickly away
Option 3 please!
I am new here and my daughter insisted that I sign up. Never played any game like this before. Option 3.
You're as good as dead without supplies out there. I'm going option 3 to stock up, maybe I'll find something useful like weapons, food, water, or items for bartering.
Option 3
I put my comment in the wrong spot.
Option 3
I choose OPTION 3 - Search the floor that you are on and then get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
Maybe I found something.
I choose option 3.
REPLY TO THIS COMMENT TO CHOOSE OPTION 1.
* OPTION 1 - Get down to the street and get moving as quickly as possible.
I choose option 1... Get the hell out while the gettin is good :-)
I want to go with OPTION 1, I just want to get out of there
Choosing option 1. Let's hope there is not a gang waiting to attack us on the street. I'm pretty scared, but I think our best bet is to get moving.
I choose option 1. If you leave with supplies, you might get jumped!
Having spent some time hiding out, the time to move out is NOW. Quickly, before it gets too dark . . .
@susieisms moves out among the shadows, in stealth mode.
OPTION 1
Hola senor, me llama clayboyn, si!
Bi-lingual rhyming wizard, I do be.
Sometimes I writes in prose, but,
Othertimes I'm a freestyle nut.
Me gusta mantenerlos adivinando,
Maybe I'll catch you around though.
Como esta frijoles senor (spanglish for How you bean)lol
Nos vemos en el bosque después de la muerte inicial.
Fuera de la cueva, deja que empiece el juego.
This one for me.
I'm on option 1
I am just walking as fast as possible to get some four and powdered milk at the grocery store.
I choose option 1
Option 1 for me. Searching will just delay me, I don't want to be out when too dark. There should be nothing worth finding. We were searching all we could find last few days anyway. let's get going as fast as possible! I see our group is the smallest. Gulp! Strength is in the numbers :-( Scary!
I Choose option 1
Look for something can be useful but I wanna make sure I'll be able to see the day light at least once more
Pretty late for my comment, but
Let's go for a little stroll
Option 1!
My apologies - you replied too late and were eliminated.
i keep missing this, when does signup for season 6 actually begin?
After season 5 ends.
Option 3 for me :)
Option 2
Wait is Hard. BTW its good to hear that its back...!! I'll wait.
