As predicted, Meaty Ore doesn't last a day. Whatever happened in that wagon tip was loving rough.



You can choose not to bury a body, but it does nothing but tank your morale.



We have no fruit or vegetables and are running low on food in general. Gotta get some greens.

Going to go with a. Eat all the dandelions, that seems the most logical thing to do.

C looks like sumac, which should be safe (poison sumac has green/white berries.) Eat everything anyway.

B and D the first one is probably sone wild asparagus, and the latter are nettles, you can turn them into soup (which actually doesn't tast like pain).

Can't be sumac, from what I remember that stuff only grows in Eastern U.S.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
In our delirious mourning, eat all of them.

I think the red berries should be thrown away, but the others are probably edible.

I have no idea what C is, pretty sure the other three are all good, so let's roll the dice and get chomping.

Also, since we’re about to totally wipe the expedition anyways, I would like to see the “gently caress it, leave the corpse in the road and keep going” option rather than a polite burial.

Throw Out
1: 3
2: 2

We narrowly vote to eat everything! Let's see what we've got.

The dandelion-like plant was salsify; turns out we were looking at the little yellow flower down there to positively identify it! Yellow salsify roots and stems are edible.

We correctly identified wild asparagus!

The berries were indeed smooth sumac, which grows all the way to northeastern Mexico. Pink lemonade originated from adding sumac berries to lemonade, and it can also be used to make a fruit beverage by itself.

And in one last correct identification, we have stinging nettle! Nettle soup is common in all areas that nettles grow, especially the former Soviet Union where it became a common food during famine.



We continue on with about a dozen pounds of vegetables and berries to divide between us.



And immediately encounter another incline!

Just go as-is. We’ve already sated whatever bloodthirsty deity is out there with the life of one of us, so that should make us good in their books for the rest of the journey.

Is it ever a good idea to lock the wheels and just ski down? Because it sounds like a terrible idea and I always want to give it a try on these muddy hills. (This is not a formal vote.)

Can you die from severe injuries only or literally anything if the RNG fails you? "X has died from cuts and scrapes".

Well, our fruit and veggies sure didn't last long. As for the hill, good old ropes or chains should see us down.

I mean it's not unlikely to die from a cut if it gets infected in a time before antibiotics.

If we don't do it now, when are we? Muddy and steep seems like the best time!

Just continue down the hill. It'd muddy so I'm sure we'll just slide down instead of getting stuck if we lock the wheels.

This is the fate of George Donner, he cut himself while they were making camp as they got snowed in in the Sierra Nevadas. It turned gangrenous and, welp, he didn't make it

My memory could be bad as I'm climbing back decades, but I recall having the original OT on the computer in maths class when I was in primary school in England back in the 80s. Firstly, OT1 really got around*. Secondly, my classmates and I learned from this game that the US was incredibly wide on the East-West access and also very hostile. My mum's American and I had visited, but they didn't seem to believe me when I said that the US had petrol-powered cars and other modern amenities. As for the enormous width of the country, I can't really argue as an Englishman; the average person could walk from Cornwall to Ipswich in a few days.

*We also had WITWICarman Sandiego, and for years I thought that she was a real person for whom the eponymous city was named.
