Those darn infections!
In the last round, the players realized that their infections from the barbed wire fence were getting pretty bad. It was time to do something about it, so let’s see how they chose to attempt to solve their problem and how it worked out for them.
DAY 6 ROUND 2 RESULTS
Unfortunately, 3 players did not reply within the 24 hour window: @nixlco - @melaimomagwork - @scorchdojo . They have now been eliminated from gameplay.
OPTION 1 - Crush a Water Purification Tablet and rub it into the wounds (for players/teams with Water Purification Tablets.)
A few of the players thought that this would be a good idea. I did too, although I was unable to find any definitive research on the subject. Basically, water purification tablets contain certain toxins in levels that can kill certain bacteria or even viruses without killing us. When the tablet is placed in water, it can kill these types of contaminants while still allowing the water to be used by humans without killing them.
My theory was that the same tablets could potentially be crushed and rubbed into the infected wounds (perhaps even mixes with water if need be) and that the same effects may be able to be achieved. While I cannot vouch for the validity of this in reality, I have thus far found nothing concluding that such results could not be achieved, so, for the purpose of our game, we will say that it worked.
Life is a learning experience and I like to share real life facts in a fun and educational way when I can, so if you have any information about this idea, please let me know if it would actually work or not.
Here are the players who got rid of their infection this way:
- @jeanelleybee (Ate last backup food supply to continue gameplay - must eat prior to the end of Day 8 to avoid starvation
- @beetroot
- @knowledge1
- @essentialoilmom
- TEAM STEEMVIVORS - @gregory-f & @cryptofarmer
OPTION 2 - Swim out in the ocean for a bit to see if the salt water can help.
No one chose this option so the results will remain a mystery.
OPTION 3 – Try to run away from the infection as fast as you can.
No one chose this option so the results will remain a mystery.
OPTION 4 – Try to rinse and cleanse the wounds with salt water at the sea shore.
The players who chose this option chose wisely as well. Though polluted or contaminated sea water could make things worse, salt water has some incredible properties that can be a big help in a situation like this. Recently, I even applied this method when dealing with a headwound at the beach.

DAY 6 ROUND 2 SCENARIO
So far as I know, there are only 11 players still alive and well. There could be less, but we are still combing through the prior rounds and verifying the validity of these 11. Here are the remaining players.
@clayboyn - @jeanelleybee - @sireland - @beetroot - @gregory-f - @randomness - @cryptofarmer - @dksart - @essentialoilmom - @dwells - @knowledge1
Always being ones to be aware of their surroundings and take advantage of reasonable opportunities, the players take a look around to see if their is anything useful. For some time, they walk along the beach in hopes of finding something useful washed up on the shore. Sadly, nothing is found. For a moment they look hopefully up towards the sky, and then back out to sea.
Wow! Somehow there is a boat anchored a ways off shore. It is rocking gently in the ocean waves and seems to be uninhabited. They players wonder what goodies may be inside, or if it still runs. Hmm... the possibilities are endless, but the choices are few...
OPTIONS
As always, choose carefully.
* OPTION 1 - Swim out to the boat to investigate.
* OPTION 2 - Don't bother with the boat and keep looking on the beach.
* OPTION 3 – Send one teammate swimming to the boat while the other covers with a pistol.
PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY
Each player must reply to my comment below containing the Option that they wish to choose within the next 24 hours. If they do not reply to the comment of their choice, they will be eliminated. Also, any players who do not reply in time will be eliminated from gameplay and have to wait until Season 6 to try again.
As always, reply with your inventory, but also include the next time that you need to eat in order to avoid starvation, like this:
I have a loaded pistol with 11 rounds of ammunition, 1 Backup Food Supply, & Water Purification Tablets, I'll choose option 1 this round. I need to eat by the end of Day 7 to avoid starvation.
