THIS POST IS PART OF AN ELIMINATION GAME – DO NOT REPLY TO IT UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING
It's dark. There's a man. There's a dog. What to do?
In the last round, the players awoke in the middle of a dark night, disturbed out of their slumber by noises nearby. As it turns out, it was a man with a dog. Needing to think quickly, the players had some choices to make. Let's see what the results of the options given were.
Not that all options get picked, but due to the Play-A-Long Pocalypse Game being run by @novaatebatman, I will be providing results for options.
DAY 7 ROUND 1 RESULTS
OPTION 1 – Stay still and see what happens.
The players who stayed still and waited to see what happened were greeted by the man. He was out at night looking for someone in particular, and was searching with his dog. By searching at night, he was able to be more discreet and avoid detection.
The person he was looking for was a young man, but for reasons that he unwilling to reveal. Since the players who chose Option 1 were friendly enough, he enlisted their help.
This was a matter of passing information, and the more people helping the better the chance of success. Carefully, the man wrote an encrypted note and gave it to the players, instructing them that if they met a young man in the area, they were to show him the note and ask him if it meant anything to him.
The man did not offer anything for the potential help, but he thanked the players before departing to continue on his search.
The Players who chose Option 1 now have a NOTE to include in their inventory and have now progressed to the next round.
OPTION 2 – Try to shoot these two (for players with guns.)
Quickly the players grabbed their gun and shot. The first round hit the dog in the side, knocking it over because it was closest. The second round came from the man's gun, and went into the chest of the players who chose Option 2. A few more rounds were exchanged, and the man was wounded while the dog and players died. (Yes, the man even outgunned teams.)
Players who chose Option 2 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.
OPTION 3 – Try to make friends with these two.
This effort had the same results as Option 1.
The Players who chose Option 3 now have a NOTE to include in their inventory and have now progressed to the next round.
OPTION 4 – Have one player begin shooting while the other attempts to run away in the dark. (Please specify who runs and who shoots.)
Any teams choosing this option met disaster. First, the one who tried to shoot the man had the same results as those who chose Option 2, and were shot to death after killing the dog.
To make matters even worse, those who ran away in the dark could not see where they were running, and ran right off a cliff, landing on the rocky bottom of a shallow stream. Unfortunately, the force was enough to smash their skull.
Teams who chose Option 4 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.
OPTION 5 – Have one player begin shooting while the other attempts to run away using a flashlight for light. (Please specify who runs and who shoots.)
While the player doing the shooting died, the one who ran away with a flashlight escaped alive... and now alone.
Teams who chose Option 5 are no longer teams, as the shooter perished. The remaining teammate will continue on alone.
OPTION 6 – Try to run away in the dark.
Does anyone remember that cliff with the shallow, rocky stream at the bottom and the smashed skull? Yeah, that.
Players who chose Option 6 are now dead and can wait until Season 7 to join back in. Thanks for playing.
OPTION 7 – Try to run away using a flashlight for light.
Players who chose Option 7 have safely ran away into the woods.
The Players who chose Option 7 have now progressed to the next round.
DAY 7 ROUND 2 SCENARIO
The players are on the move as the sun rises and days breaks. As they work their way through the forest, they notice something up ahead.
Anything is possible, so the players contemplate how to proceed. Is it deserted? Is it occupied? Is the young man inside of it? Are there any resources inside? Is it a death trap? Should they investigate?
OPTIONS
OPTION 1 – Try to move away from the building and go a different way.
OPTION 2 – Try to check out the building with a weapon drawn.
OPTION 3 – Try to check out the building with no weapon visible.
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: The Backup Food Supplies are in one ration portions, which can feed one player and keep them alive for two days. Also, if for some reason you decide to change your choice prior to the 24 hour response time cutofff, please contact @novaatebatman to make sure 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 NOTE, a PLANT FIELD GUIDE and a pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition. I must eat by the end of Day 8. I choose Option 3 this round.
As always, please remember that all outcomes are predetermined. In an elimination survival game, most of your are going to die eventually. Nothing personal.
PRIZE POOL
The current prize pool is 525 SBD. The total prize pool amount will grow each round until the game is over.
A Special Thanks to @liberty-minded for Providing the Title Gif and the GAME OVER Gif and a very Special Thanks to @novaatebatman for all the help keeping track of this mess.
Until next time…

Taking it safe this time. Hope all you daredevils find some good stuff in that old house...watch your step...floors probably rotted.
You won't see us coming. So be friendly, and you'll see us briefly...as we move on ahead.
I only have 4 rounds of ammo left in the pistol, so I'm going to choose Option 1 and try to move away from the building. I tucked the Note in my front pocket, in case I see the mysterious young man, he'll be able to see it's nothing threatening when I retrieve it. The flashlight stays in my back pocket where it's less likely to be noticed and out of my way. Am feeling a little better after the morels' toxicity is wearing off. I don't need to eat until Day 8, so for now, I'm just focused on getting far away from the city.

Checking that my pistol and knife is ready to use at a moments notice, I decided to check out the building with no weapon visible. Don't want to take a chance and spook anyone that might be inside. Also if the sun is out, it might be a good time to hide inside for a bit.
I only have to eat by day 8 round two.
Inventory:
1x Knife
1x Pistol (8 ammo)
1x Flashlight
1x Plant Field Guide
1x Cryptic Note

We, Team Turner ( @ironshield and @lturner ), being of an inquisitive mind, choose Option 3

We have 1 Strange and Cryptic Note
We were able to eat cooked mushrooms (hooray firestarter!) and must now eat by Day 8, Round 2
We predict there are no snipers in the building since we are already within sight of the upper window. If there were snipers, we would be dead already. Therefore the house is either abandoned but might have some useful items in it or there is someone there who would rather remain hidden (which is why showing weapons would be most likely counterproductive). We think there is actually only a slight possibility of the young man we're hoping to meet being there since presumably the man with the dog knows this terrain and already searched the house.
There is a slight chance of getting ourselves trapped in the house, but we've jumped out a window once already and could do it again. There is also the slight possibility of getting injured, but that's kind of an ever present danger anyway. Mostly we are being conscientious about checking out things that are not a clear and present danger since that is one way to survive in a situation where all resources could be valuable.
Let's hope we survive this one!
