First off, Season 5 has officially ended! In the end, @sireland pocketed 450 SBD. What happened to @dksart and @randomness you ask?

They got shot... but they still took home 75 SBD each for making it that far.

In other Season 5 news, we had the biggest sign up ever, with almost 300 players starting the season. Some died early, as they always do, but we did make it all the way to Day 10 of gameplay. Also new last season was a Gameplay Spreadsheet provided by @novaatebatman. To track almost 300 players every day is a daunting task, so I was blessed to have help. A big thanks to everyone who played, watched, upvoted and resteemed last season, and to all those who made their own posts about the game too, like @dwells, @asimplewriter, @keepdoodling and others.

THANK YOU!

NEW GAMEPLAY AGENDA!

---

Each season is a learning experience, especially for @papa-pepper. In both of the previous seasons I seemed to allow teams to form in one round and then kill off the teammates in the next round, returning it to solo play. Part of the original intent of the game was to include interaction, community building, and relationships. That does not happen as much with solo play.

In Season 6 we will be waiting until about half of the players are eliminated and then engaging in some team play. Moreover, I will be attempting to have some rounds with an "Ozark Trail" type feel to them. There will be other surprises and things to look forward to, but all in due time!

LET THE SIGNUP BEGIN!

To streamline the running of this game without restricting the number of players, a few changes will be implemented. Recently in the gameplay a little more has been required of the players. When they have a chance to potentially win hundreds of dollars worth of SBD, I think it is a small thing to ask, so I thank you for your help ahead of time.

Additionally, @novaatebatman also created a spreadsheet to help track the players and gameplay last season. Here is a sneak peek at the one that will be used this season.

Besides @novaatebatman helping out with some of the administrative work for this game, @liberty-minded has been providing Title and Game Over GIFs, like the one that heads this post. I hope that you like them, as it not only lessens the workload on me, but also adds to the game and helps build the community.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

I am blessed to be part of a platform and community that makes things like the STEEM-Pocalypse game possible. To provide a fun, entertaining, and periodically educational way that people can potentially win hundreds of dollars just by investing a few minutes a day has been a real joy for me. I hope that you all are enjoying it too!

Remember, by taking turns resteeming this post over the next week the next season can have maximum participation. Thanks everyone!
