STEEM-POCALYPSE SURVIVAL GAME CONTEST - GAME OVER? - 1025 SBD PRIZE POOL
Bear attack!! Did anyone make it out alive?
In the last round, the players awoke to find a hungry mother Black Bear, and two cubs, looking right at them. As far as the bears were concerned, the players were prey and fair game for a midnight snack. Let's see what happened.
DAY 15 ROUND 1 RESULTS
OPTION 3 – Shout at the bear and make a lot of noise to try to scare it away.
This was the most popular answer, and there are times when it is a good idea to try to make noise to scare away a bear. Small bears, or bears in the distance, may be able to be scared away in this manner. However, such is not always the case for a hungry bear who thinks you are prey.
According to "wikihow":
Noise may or may not make things worse. Small bears, including black bears, can be scared away with noise. Some people believe metallic noise scares off bears because it's "not natural" and there are documented examples of bears running away from clanging metallic sounds. However, any noise may be effective if it's going to work at all. Be aware that larger bears, including large black bears and polar bears, are often simply made more curious by noise in this situation and could well come towards the noise (i.e., you) to check it out.

The predetermined outcome of Option 3 was that making noise would not deter the hungry mother Black Bear, and such was the case. With giant claws and a literally bone-crushing set of jaws, the mother bear came to get dinner for her and her cubs.
I tried to provide multiple "successful" options, but the vast majority of players jumped on this one...
Here's a list of the dead: @bmjman2410, @knowledge-seeker, @stephmckenzie, @vcelier, @looftee, @erikaflynn, @bodyinbeta, @jznsamuel
OPTION 2 – Try to shoot the big one first, and then the little ones if the don't run away, risking whatever ammo is needed. (For players with a gun and ammo.)
Only TEAM RANDOM chose a successful option, and it happened to give them the win! Congratulations @bmwaso and @modnar, who each pulled out their firearm and blasted their way to glory.
PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY
All Players have been relieved of their responsibilities. The only thing left to do is check your wallet for your portion of the prize pool!
As always, please remember that all outcomes were predetermined. In an elimination survival game, most of your were going to die eventually anyways. Nothing personal.
PRIZE POOL
The current prize pool was 1025 SBD. 75% of it was reserved for the winners, with 25% of it set aside for whoever came in second place.
The winners - TEAM RANDOM ( @bmwaso and @modnar) will each receive half (50%) of the 75% Winner portion of 1025 SBD, (about 770 SBD = 385 SBD EACH!).
The second place players were eight individuals this time. The Runner Up portion of the prize pool (25% of 1025 SBD) is roughly 257 SBD, so with an 8-way split, each player who just died will receive roughly 32.5 SBD.
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!
Stay tuned for a recap post and plans for the future of the STEEM-Pocalypse Survival Game Contest.

LOL - Perfect!
Yaay! @bmwaso almost convinced me to go with the shouting. I was also thinking to try the flashlight but since the bears were starving decided that a fight was the only option. Such a great game! Thanks @papa-pepper for the enjoyable ride. I also learned about a plant or two haha. I woke up early just to see the results and now I cant go back to sleep...
Looking forward to the next season. Family duties eliminate me from the previous one but know I will sign up and play for sure. Congratulations for the winners - good job guys :)
awe I wanna play too!
I knew "they looked hungry" was put there for a reason.
Though I feared the shooting option would leave the contestants half malled(sp?) with a 350lb-500lb mama dead on top of them.
@papa-pepper you know how to setup a FINALE!!!!
I had actually thought you had a grandfinale with the woodsman being a trap and killing all but @dksarts
Thanks for the adventure!!!!! I am in line for Season 7!!!!!!!!!
I was very surprised at this one. The dynamite, flashlight, or running all would have worked too, but they sure made a noisy meal, didn't they?
Taking a break @papa-pepper? I'm wearing out my refresh button :-)
Congratulations TEAM RANDOM @bmwaso and @modnar 🎆🎇 🎆
Congratz to the victors! Really long season and well played!
Congratulations to all the winners!! Very well done, everyone! :)
NOW THAT ENDED SURPRISINGLY ABRUPTLY!
It was fun lurking and learning, getting ready for SEASON SEVEN! @ironshield
Yikes, did it ever! We had great fun "playing" even after our bad decision to search Crazy Earl's house, though we would've died in the turkey round since we had no gun, no backup food source and we couldn't have cooked the pokecherries in the next round to make them safe since that wasn't an option. We were still discussing whether it would be safer to flash the flashlight in the bear's eyes or play dead (first option was to shoot the mother bear but we didn't have a gun...) when Ben read the final post last night. Thanks for all your hard work and a really fun game, Papa Pepper! I see the weeds in our yard in an increasingly different light these days.
Lol, long live the weeds!
