To swim or not to swim...
In the last round, the players saw a ship floating out off of the beach. Not knowing what, or who, was inside, they were uncertain of how to proceed. Let's see who chose what option and how it worked out for them. -Since all players have already replied, I'm posting this one earlier than the end of the 24 hour response time.-
DAY 7 ROUND 1 RESULTS
OPTION 1 - Swim out to the boat to investigate
A few of the players thought it was worth the risk to try to swim out to the boat and investigate it.
Unfortunately, it was not worth the risk...
A blood bath of shark attacks commenced once the players reached the deeper waters.
Here are the players who became shark food:
It was sad to see you go, but I hope that you will join back in next time.
OPTION 2 - Don't bother with the boat and keep looking on the beach.
The majority of the players chose to continue looking on the beach. Thankfully, they found enough algae washed up on the beach to fill them up.
They players who chose this option found food and and now have until the end of Day 9 to find more food before they starve to death! Hooray!
Here are those fortunate survivors:
OPTION 3 – Send one teammate swimming to the boat while the other covers with a pistol.
Our brand new (and only current team) chose Option 3... and is no longer a team.
Though @gregory-f tried to cover @cryptofarmer with the 11 bullets that @cryptofarmer gave him, after a few shots, @gregory-f realized that it was futile. Too many sharks and not enough @cryptofarmer or bullets to go around...
Though @cryptofarmer has perished and the team is no more, @gregory-f was hanging on to the rest of the items that @cryptofarmer had. Minus the three bullets that he fired, @gregory-f now has his original inventory plus the items that @cryptofarmer had. Amazingly, @gregory-f would have starved to death if he had not gotten the backup food supply that @cryptofarmer previously had. He has now eaten the beef jerky and has until the end of Day 9 before he needs to eat again in order to avoid starvation.
+ Magnesium Firestarter
+ 8 rounds of ammunition
DAY 7 ROUND 2 SCENARIO
So far as I know, there are only 7 players still alive and well. Here are the remaining players.
@clayboyn - @sireland - @beetroot - @gregory-f - @randomness - @dksart - @dwells
As the end of Day 7 draws near, the players are glad that they have once again avoided starvation. As the sun begins to set, a glow begins to arise on the horizon. It appears that there is someone having a campfire up the beach, just over the next dune.
Of course it could be anyone, but the players are still intrigued. Should they move closer to investigate? Is it a fire just waiting for some unfortunate survivor to roast on it? Hmm...
OPTIONS
As always, choose carefully.
* OPTION 1 - Try to sneak up close enough to the fire to try to shoot whoever is there and take their supplies.
* OPTION 2 - Don't bother investigating the fire and head the other way.
* OPTION 3 – Head towards the fire and attempt to make friends with whoever is there.

OPTION 2 - Don't bother investigating the fire and head the other way.
So tired of eating seaweed but I'm alive and full until the end of DAY 9. I've done pretty good being a chicken so I'll choose option 2 and head the other way where, hopefully, more seaweed awaits me. I have a loaded pistol with 11 rounds, beef jerky and water purification tablets
i have a pistol(no ammo), water purification tabs, ate some sea weed, i choose option 2. :-)
I don't want to sound paranoid, but I'm going it alone,
My buddy @bilbop already had to phone it on home.
I still got these bullets and I'm going with the flow so,
I'll keep my jerky and my fire-starter and hit the road.
11 bullets, jerky, fire-starter, and I choose option 2.
I have a loaded pistol with 8 rounds of ammunition, Magnesium Firestarter & Water Purification Tablets. I'll choose option 2 this round. I need to eat by the end of Day 9 to avoid starvation.
Thanks for your help @cryptofarmer. You will be missed.
I'll miss the game too and Team Steemvivors. Use wisely all the resources you have now and go for the first place of the contest!
I ate some algae, I have a Firestarter, 1 Backup Food Supply, and Water Purification Tablets I'll choose Option 2 this round. I need to eat by the end of Day 9 to avoid starvation.
I have an unloaded pistol, 1 backup food supply, and water purification tablets. I just enjoyed some seaweed so I have until the end of Day 9 before starvation. I'm choosing Option 2 this round.

This sounds like fun and a good way to earn 425 SBD (prize) .Definitely worth the time. Will sin up for season 6 by filling up form. Sounds very challenging. Brings out competitive fire in me. Can't wait to play. Great job and a great value for all Steemians.

Thnx.

Oh no! My first option was the shore, but I decided to be brave for once. Any of the survivors want my firestarter, water purification tablets or the backup food supply, please get in touch with me. :)
@papa-pepper, I'm sad that I died but I'm happy I died playing your awesome game. Loved every moment of it. Will be back next season - smarter, having learned the tricks of survival from you. Thank you so much for all the fun! :)
I was totally bummed. I was hoping that we got away from the island and they all died. Oh well! Can't wait for next season. We will have to have you on as a guest @knowledge1
haha Initially I thought it was the shore for me. Next I thought @papa-pepper would do the unexpected and kill those on the island. I even imaged us three ladies with the crowns: Winner, 1st runner up, 2nd runner up. :) Would love to be a guest on your show. :)
So sad to leave the game, but never thought I could made it thus far.
Thanks @papa-pepper, it's been great!
You did really well, and took a calculated risk. Here's to next season.
Thank you but I'm not sure if I really calculated the sharks attack risk: coming from the Mediterranean I totally ignored that possibility!!
Where you from my friend ? i want to know which country to belong to @ronaldmcatee
