Can you and your teammate survive?
Zombie Apocalypse Team.” Hopefully, that opportunity/necessity never comes up, but while we wait, why not have some fun and practice, perhaps learning a few things in the process with this game?For fun, and as an interesting community interaction activity, I thought that I would run a “choose your own adventure” game. I thought this up because @doitvoluntarily has repeatedly commented about wanting to be on my “
GAMEPLAY
The basic idea will be to navigate your way through situations while staying safe and nourished. There will be possibilities for death, sickness, and other mishaps, so choosing wisely on each step of the way will be necessary. Whenever possible, I’ll be using real photos and situations, and providing realistic multiple choice options. Some of the scenarios will be more “luck-of-the-draw” random situations while others will require actual knowledge of certain things (or very lucky guesses) to pass that round.
Simply put, your team must guess correct answers often enough to outlast the other teams.
To begin, you’ll need to form a two person team consisting of yourself and another user. I’ll recommend perhaps choosing someone who is either really quick at researching things on a computer or a user who is familiar with survival information such as foraging skills or animal identification. Keeping both members of your team alive will be ideal, but only one living team member will be required to win the contest.
Note: you don't have to know anything to play and to try to win the STEEM.Now there are only so many “foraging experts” like @jenncapestany and @haphazard-hstead and only so many users with an excellent knowledge of various animals like @natator88 and @herpetologyguy, so choose wisely. If you want to play but do not have a teammate handy, just reply to this post expressing your interest in playing and your need for a teammate.
Besides the other ways to die, food will be a requirement. I’ll keep things simple and say that each team must successfully eat at least every other day. I’ll keep the gameplay slower than real life to give at least one opportunity for each “game day” to successfully eat. Also, it is worth noting that some rounds may be more time sensitive than others, and that if you have enough food for a few days, it may be better to pass on some rounds than to risk playing.
The length of this contest will depend upon user interest, the initial number of teams that sign up, and the success rate of the teams in choosing correct answers.
I’ll try to consistently post the next scenario each day around roughly the same time. Each team will have to reply with their answer prior to the next post in this series in order to still be valid.
The first answer given from a team will be the one registered.
I’m not sure exactly what the total grand prize will be for the winning team(s) yet, but I’ll be saving a portion of the payouts from these posts to award to the winner(s). If enough people are willing to play, I’ll start the winner’s pot at 200 STEEM, and split up the rewards from that amount (or more) depending on how many people survive.
If you are interested, please find a teammate and reply below with both of your usernames. If you can keep it clean, you can even choose a team name. The first survival situation will be posted tomorrow, so get ready! Please reply within the next 24 hours with your team to register for game-play! (Hopefully none of this was too confusing, but I can answer questions below if need be.)
Also, for maximum participation and interaction, please consider resteeming this post to raise community awareness of this game. Thanks!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Interesting. Let me be everyone's spectator...lol
Oh yes, you can feel free to watch. Otherwise, it is just multiple choice answers for a chance to win the STEEM.
This seems like a really cool game, @papa-pepper! I don't know many people on steemit yet, so if anybody wants to team up, let me know! I'm down for playing!
Hey @natator88, I'm up too if you want to team up. Let me know :)
Absolutely! With your geeky awesomeness and my geeky herpetology-ness, I think we'll have it covered!
Good to hear!
I'm not sure how well geeky-awesomeness will help but I like your optimism, we got this :)
Team name suggestions?
Hmmm, team turtle, lizard wizards, green machine, repstyle, the gators.
Ooh I like Lizard Wizards or Repstyle!
Team repstyle! Whatever one you choose :)
Ok, Team Repstyle it is!
Good choice!
@whatageek and @natator88 are Team Repstyle!
Excellent!
I was ready to go it alone in the woods! Maybe I'll share that adventure at some point. So who wants to be my partner!?
@everlove maybe? :)
Yes, one of the folks from @gardenofeden would be a good choice.
That was my thought! They may want to partner up between themselves too.
How about @papa-pepper as my partner since you'll know all the answers!? XD
LOL - Unfortunately, that wouldn't work.
This is a brilliant idea - you've done it again 😊
Will you be getting a partner?
I think this will be a lot of fun.
@dreemit @barrydutton @zombiedoll so uh who wants to be on my team.
Get your partner! I'm glad to see your interest!
Oh I have the perfect partner in mind, but we still aren't speaking. So I will have to settle for one of my new steemit friends or an old friend that uses steemit now :) They are all pretty effing* cool too. Trying to limit cursing on family friendly blogs :P
Thanks for the courtesy. Let me know when you partner up!
:P Shouldn't take too long, I'm from Louisiana, we were basically born in the middle of an apocalypse and naturally ready for this game.
Cool, I used to live in Louisiana in 2004 and 2005!
Oh, I thought this was basically a free 200 steem. Okay then at least I get some respectable competition. :) Katrina was fun times.
@clayboyn hit me up if you 'feel' the force ;)
Hell ya, I'm always down to make new friends. @papa-pepper sign us up.
Let's do this bro. @papa-pepper we have a team.
Do you guys want a team name? If so, your choice.
Excellent! You two can pick a team name if you want as well.
dude, "The Force" obviously.
@bilbop knows what's up
Agreed
It should be an interesting competition! I think the most difficult will be to organize into teams.
I thought so too, but I think it may work best with partners, that way if one dies, the team can still live on.
Are you interested? I think it'll be a good time.
Interested, but I have no a partner and I have no idea who could be my partner.
I'm in! Who wants me to be their partner? I am a writer so I don't have a lot of survival skills but I have survived in video game form in Left 4 Dead and thrived in Don't Starve. So just as good :p
Excellent news! @erikaflynn was looking for a partner as was @natator88.

I'll be teaming up with @ellepdub despite her irrational fear of all things zombie!
No zombies in this apocalypse... Also, you gotta team name? Thanks for joining!
Any apocalypse would be her undoing haha. I think we gotta be "Team Zookeeper"! Looking forward ti the challenge!
Go Team Zookeeper!
Anyone wants to team up with me?
Good, a few folks in the comments already are still looking for partners! Thanks for joining in @rahul.stan!
All of them have teamed up I guess. There's still time left. Let's see.
P.s - I also started a contest you might want to checkout.
@erikaflynn and @virtualgrowth both still need a partner. You could ask one of them in their replies.
I asked one of my friends, if he doesn't them I'll ask one of them.
Let's do it Bro @rahul.stan
@papa-pepper We're in!!
Do you guys want to pick a team name?
Soulmates Let's Go Champ!!!Wow, great and interesting contest bro. One of kind here on steemit, I love zombies! My wife will be my partner in survival indeed. @happyharmonymay We are Team
Excellent news!
Team Soulmates it is!
Yes indeed, we are ready!
Round 1 started, so get in there and make your choice.
I will join, but I need a teammate.
I'm down if you're up for it.
Ok, what do I need to do?
I think we just need a team name at this point. I'm open to suggestions.
I don't know... I don't have a lot of creativity flowing today.
Within the next hours I'll need your choice for whether to kill and eat the snake or not.
Which snake? Sorry, I'm obviously behind.
You'll need to make your first decision on what to do too soon.
I'll need you guys to either kill the snake or let it go in the next hour or so.
Szumni@lukmarcus & @kambrysia as team
Got it!
I just messaged @karen54 and im waiting to hear back if she wants to partner up ! I still dont fully understand the rules though or what to do ! I will wait to see if she wants to do it first !😊👍
