STEEM-POCALYPSE SEASON 5 RECAP - NEW GAMEPLAY AGENDA - AND SEASON 6 SIGN UP!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
First off, Season 5 has officially ended! In the end, @sireland pocketed 450 SBD. What happened to @dksart and @randomness you ask?
They got shot... but they still took home 75 SBD each for making it that far.
In other Season 5 news, we had the biggest sign up ever, with almost 300 players starting the season. Some died early, as they always do, but we did make it all the way to Day 10 of gameplay. Also new last season was a Gameplay Spreadsheet provided by @novaatebatman. To track almost 300 players every day is a daunting task, so I was blessed to have help. A big thanks to everyone who played, watched, upvoted and resteemed last season, and to all those who made their own posts about the game too, like @dwells, @asimplewriter, @keepdoodling and others.
THANK YOU!
NEW GAMEPLAY AGENDA!
Each season is a learning experience, especially for @papa-pepper. In both of the previous seasons I seemed to allow teams to form in one round and then kill off the teammates in the next round, returning it to solo play. Part of the original intent of the game was to include interaction, community building, and relationships. That does not happen as much with solo play.
In Season 6 we will be waiting until about half of the players are eliminated and then engaging in some team play. Moreover, I will be attempting to have some rounds with an "Ozark Trail" type feel to them. There will be other surprises and things to look forward to, but all in due time!
LET THE SIGNUP BEGIN!
To streamline the running of this game without restricting the number of players, a few changes will be implemented. Recently in the gameplay a little more has been required of the players. When they have a chance to potentially win hundreds of dollars worth of SBD, I think it is a small thing to ask, so I thank you for your help ahead of time.
All steemians who want to sign up must register at this link:
https://goo.gl/forms/7V2Pxe6jyBcJxFsU2
All that you need to do is enter your username into the registration form and you are officially signed up. You also have the option to receive email notification when a new season starts to make sure that you do not miss it, but you are not required to do so.
Just follow the link above and enter your username to sign up for Season 6 gameplay. I will leave the sign up open until midnight Saturday CST, roughly one week from now, with gameplay officially starting on next Sunday. Get ready everyone! This could be our biggest season yet!
Additionally, @novaatebatman also created a spreadsheet to help track the players and gameplay last season. Here is a sneak peek at the one that will be used this season.

Besides @novaatebatman helping out with some of the administrative work for this game, @liberty-minded has been providing Title and Game Over GIFs, like the one that heads this post. I hope that you like them, as it not only lessens the workload on me, but also adds to the game and helps build the community.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
I am blessed to be part of a platform and community that makes things like the STEEM-Pocalypse game possible. To provide a fun, entertaining, and periodically educational way that people can potentially win hundreds of dollars just by investing a few minutes a day has been a real joy for me. I hope that you all are enjoying it too!
Also, please do not forget to sign up by entering your username here: https://goo.gl/forms/7V2Pxe6jyBcJxFsU2
Remember, by taking turns resteeming this post over the next week the next season can have maximum participation. Thanks everyone!
Be ready, because the STEEM-Pocalypse waits for no one!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Yes!
I am not only signed up this time but one of the first to comment!
Finally!
I am excited to adventure through your wild and crazy world with my fellow steemians!
I'll give you the 100% upvote for making a real comment then! I'm just trying to encourage real interaction and comments here, so I like to upvote one at 100% on each post and put it on display.
You do realize that by signing up you will most likely die though, right?
Thanks @quinneaker!
Hahahaha yes I do realize that this is a RIGGED GAME designed to kill people and I won't be able to use my usual super powers I have access to in "RL" ;-)>
Im not in it to win it, just to get a chance to play in your wild and strange world and meet some new Steemians!
Also yes REAL comments or comments of substance are VERY rare these days and there are SOOO many spammy comments. Its a bit sad as comments were once upon a time one of the best parts of any post!
I appreciate the support you are showing for REAL content and am honored by your choice to choose my comment!
See you in the wild and strange world soon!
RIGGED? The outcomes of all scenarios are predetermined before the players make their choices. It is not designed to kill people, if everyone would just choose the correct option every day, no one would ever die... but I guess for a survival game that would mean that no one would ever win either.. yeah, that won't work....
Well what I mean is there are "trick" questions where the answers that MAY be logical or that I COULD MAKE work in a "real life" scenario won't work and the game is designed to kill everyone off. Did not mean any offense of course or anything to your VERY WELL ESTABLISHED HONORABLE CHARACTER!
I know, I was just having some fun with you... while you are still alive.
smiley face emoji
hahahahahaha k ;-)>
That wasn't ominous. Nope. Not one bit. XD
Yeah... I find myself flagging more posts than upvoting them. Of course, I only flag spammers, copy pasters, and plagiarizers. But I end up flagging more than upvoting. It's kinda sad.
I don't choose to use my down votes very often and if so just on plagiarism, lies or attacks. For spam stuff I just ignore it.
Someone needs to do something about it though!
Don't just ignore the spam, that lets them get away with it. At the least, report them to @steemcleaners.
I use my flags for spammers like that on certain kinds of posts to knock them down to the bottom.
I agree.
I follow you, you follow me. I vote you, you vote me. Love you long time.
I'm so tempted to flag you just for the snark. :P
You love me long time? Really? Awesome!
Lol I had to do it
You're that 5 dollah whore aren't you! 😉
Are you trying to insult me??? It's 6 dollah!
Oh sorry, you're the "deluxe" type!
First time trying this game!
Signed up this time @papa-pepper. STEEM-POCALYPSE SEASON 6. Were are the rule of game? I think it is important for dummy like me.
Hello! Glad you could join us for Season 6 of STEEM-pocalypse!
You can get a good feel for the rules by checking out STEEM-POCALYPSE Season 5 Day 1 Round 1.
Something I would like to emphasize is that you must post your choices on the comment @papa-pepper makes with that option you'd like to choose. That makes keeping track of gameplay much easier. If you read through the posts for Season 5, you'll find a lot of people replying to the main post during gameplay. Please do not be like them, as they were not following the rules, and you will be eliminated for not following instructions.
In addition, I'll go ahead and quote what I replied to someone in an earlier comment explaining more about the rules.
I hope that information helps! If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask!
My, that spreadsheet is awfully pretty. That sign-up form is pretty shiny, too.
But I think the star of the show for this post is @liberty-minded's awesome GIF at the top of the post.
Can't wait to get the next season underway!
the forms look great but I like the Gifs too
That sexy, sexy GIF, lol.
Just want to say thank you ahead of time...my name may not be on the list for long, but as long as its there, and beyond, I appreciate your assistance!!
Why thank you so kindly! :)
Ok! I'm ready for a new game! :)
And I have to say that this new @papa-pepper's character is just awesome :)
Hurray for awesome doodles! Not nearly enough of those in the world!
Thank you @papa-pepper, can't wait for the next season.
Good job on the new intro logo @liberty-minded it looks great. Thank you for the spreadsheet @novaatebatman.
And lastly can't wait for the creative content the players come up with like @dwells and @keepdoodling.
I think next season need to take more risks, was trying to play it too safe and missed out too much.
Don't forget @asimplewriter!
Can't wait as usual. Check the spreadsheet after you sign up, if you want to make sure you are registered.
I'll be starting the game with a loaded pistol with 11 rounds, 2 packs of beef jerky, and water purification tablets 😀
Good advice on confirming... Also, great idea to begin the game already loaded with supplies! #genius!
Well I am technically still alive lol
Is this something you decide yourself?
I'm starting with a suite of armor and a bazooka!!!! :D
I'm ready to build deep and lasting relationships with salmonella.
HA! I'm willing to do so much more.
I am signed up! I'm so excited for another season and to read all the players comments/posts who bring their creativity to playing the game. Thanks to @novaatebatman for all the hard work keeping records! And thank you @papa-pepper for a great way to bring Steemians together. Here's hoping my little rabbit cottontail doesn't get shot or fall off a cliff.
[slips you a small bunny-parachute and a little bunny bulletproof vest]
Shhhhh..... I did nothing... [ninja poof]
I'm baaack . . .
Yep, your username still makes me smile when I see it.
Glad to have you back! :D
Thanks @novaatebatman
Alway nice to know I'm getting smiles without even trying 😊
It's just so playful and perky! I can't help it!
signed up on the form.
it probably doesn't make much difference, but I was unsure if you wanted the user name with or without the "@" symbol... I signed up without it.
let the games begin... yay!
It doesn't really matter, I've been adding the @ manually to everyone that didn't use it. No big deal.
that's cool, thanks for the feedback!
No problem. I make an effort to reply to everything, especially things concerning the google forms or spreadsheet.
