The lethal ticks attack!
In the last round, the city erupted in explosions and gunfire, and several teams perished. The surviving teams were able to flee the city before getting shot to death, but their vehicle eventually ran out of gas. Thankfully, they were able to locate some useful items in the vehicle before they fled on foot.
As they continued to work their way southward, they cut into the woods to avoid being seen on the road. Soon, they found themselves covered in GMO ticks full of a deadly engineered virus. The virus, called LIMEZ II, only takes a few minutes to enter the body once the tick attaches itself and can kill the infected person within a day.
Now crawling in ticks, the teams had to choose how to respond. The choices had to be made quickly, and here is what the teams decided.
DAY 3 ROUND 1 RESULTS
OPTION 1 - Completely freak out and shoot the ticks on your team mate and yourself.
I'm guessing it was hard for the teams not to choose this option, but everyone resisted pulling out their new pistol and firing the four rounds into themselves and their partners. Good call guys, that was a close one!
OPTION 2 - Squeeze the ticks hard to get a good grip and then rip them out of your skin.
Though it is important to get the ticks out of your skin, squeezing them was a great way to get the virus into your skin. Unfortunately a few teams did choose this option, and a few were even STEEM-Pocalypse veterans from Season 1. The ticks were all removed, but the squeezing forced the virus that they were carrying into the team members, and they all died horrible deaths. "Participant" Ribbons and consolation STEEM will be awarded at the end of this season.
OPTION 3 - Burn the ticks to death with your lighter and then remove them from your skin.
None of the teams chose this option either. Attempting to burn the ticks while they were still in their skin would have caused the ticks to react and expel their juices. This options would have proven deadly, but the survivors knew better than to attempt that.
OPTION 4 - Using a sharp fingernail, scrape the tick's head out of your skin.
This was the safe option. When removing ticks it is best to quickly and precisely remove the tick by scraping the head out. The less you agitate the tick, the better, even if you are just dealing with regular Lyme's Disease. The teams who chose this option are the only ones still alive.
DAY 3 ROUND 2 - EAT RIGHT!
As they teams continue down the road, they realize that it may be wise to try to eat something. However, food options are limited here. Multiple teams must successfully eat today, while some other teams may want to wait. We have seen waiting prove itself to be fatal before, though, so any decision could be dangerous.
While contemplating this and feeling the burning hunger, the teams see two plants up ahead. For those who desire to try to eat something, these are the options.
OPTION 1
OPTION 2
OPTION 3 - DO NOT TRY TO EAT, JUST KEEP MOVING
TEAM RESPONSIBILITY
Within the next 24 hours please reply with your choice. You have three options.
PRIZE POOL
The current prize pool is 175 STEEM.
Also, for those wondering if the teams that did not survive will still get payouts, the answer is yes, but I will be waiting until the end of the season.
