On the verge of starvation and only leaves and berries to be found!

---

In our last round, the teams were placed in a desperate situation. They had spent so much of their time so far trying to just run for their lives that they had not eaten yet. At the end of Day 2 Round 2, they had to either successfully eat or die. Let's see how they did.

DAY 2 ROUND 2 RESULTS

---

OPTION 1 – Eat these red berries.

Fortunately for those who chose this option, the berries happened to be Wintergreen berries. I photographed them while up in central Wisconsin last year and featured them in a post in my The Edible Outdoors series. Follow the hyperlink to learn more about them. The teams/players who chose this option must now eat again prior to the end of Day 4 gameplay in order to avoid starvation. You can see who chose this option in the comment section below. Great job guys!

OPTION 2 – Eat these purple berries.

Sometimes, @papa-pepper is nice when running these contests and doesn't kill everyone right away. In the last round I even had two edible options. The purple berries featured in Option 2 were American Gooseberries. I photographed some last year and featured them in another of my The Edible Outdoors posts soon after I joined steeemit, some eleven months back. More info about them can be found in the post I hyperlinked. The players/teams who chose this option had a very tasty meal and have made it through the night. Check out who made this choice below in the comments.

OPTION 3 - Eat these leaves.

These leaves are Poison Ivy, and should not be eaten. I've never personally experimented with exactly what happens if you do, but for the purposes of this survival game, the blisters and welts that Poison Ivy brings began to form and restrict the airways that leads to a very painful death for those who chose this option. The quote below is from ScienceDaily.com.

If poison ivy is eaten, the digestive tract and airways will be affected, in some cases causing death.

They can feel free to join back in next season, but the players/teams who chose this option have now been eliminated form Season 4. You can see who it was in the comments below.

OPTION 4 - Pass on the meal and do not eat

I tried to make it very clear what would happen if players/teams chose this option.

The players need to eat at least once every two days of gameplay in order to survive.

Of course, if they choose not to eat, or find a poisonous one, they will die.

Even though I mentioned that in the last post, one team chose to partner up and pass on eating. Unfortunately, this has resulted in their death by starvation, just as I said it would. I was sad to see you go that way guys, but please come back next season. Find out who in the comments below.

THOSE THAT GOT LOST AND DIED

---

In this season, players who do not reply in time will be considered lost and dead. Unfortunately, we have lost a few more. Sorry guys, but feel free to sign up again next season and jump back in. These players are listed below in the comments too.

DAY 3 ROUND 1 SCENARIO

---

Some of the players had a chance to team up last round. Any who had that chance but did not actually team up will have to continue on solo play for now and try to team up again later if they get the opportunity.

After a meal and some sleep, the players are rudely awoken by gunfire. A lot of gunfire. Thankfully, they are not being shot, but the city sounds like it is erupting in a firefight. Thankfully, the woods are not too far off, so the players make a run for it.

Once they enter the woods, they do not stop running... until they have to. Soon, a giant canyon is directly in their path. They can hear that at least someone is following them and they have no reason to believe that whoever it is will be friendly.

It looks like a few possible ways across the canyon might exist, but almost all of them will probably prove to be fatal. What to do? What to do?

OPTIONS

---

• OPTION 1 – Do not try to cross the canyon and wait to see what happens. For those who are armed, attempting to defend themselves with firepower will be an option if needed, but there are no guarantees.

---

• OPTION 2 – Move up the canyon towards a dead tree and attempt to jump and grab a vine hanging from it. If a team chooses this option, please let me know who tries it first.

---

• OPTION 3 - Attempt to jump across the canyon. If a team chooses this option, please let me know who tries it first.

---

• OPTION 4 - Move down the canyon to a fallen log and attempt to cross the canyon on that. If a team chooses this option, please let me know who tries it first.

---

By way of reminder, I have predetermined all the outcomes ahead of time. The end result of each option has already been decided. Also, I am attempting to reduce the number of players in this round, so best wishes as you continue and choose.

PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY

---

Each Player/Team must reply with their decision within 24 hours of this post. Players/Teams that do not reply in time will be considered lost and dead, and will have to wait until Season 5 to join back in. If a team chooses one of the options 2-4, please let me know which teammate is leading the way (going first).

As far as I know, I have accurately recorded everything in the comment section. I do this all manually, though, and am prone to errors.
