STEEM-POCALYPSE SURVIVAL GAME CONTEST SEASON 2 - GAME OVER?
DO WE FINALLY HAVE A WINNER?
I try to make this contest somewhat realistic and educational by providing some scenarios that are based off of actual information relating to certain plants and situations. Other scenarios are just random and have the main purpose of eliminating teams.
That said, the goal in the last round was to find a plant that has anti-bacterial properties in order to stop an infection, which, if left untreated, would be lethal. Three options for the plants were given.
OPTION 1 - CREEPING CHARLIE (Glechoma hederacea)
OPTION 2 - AMERICAN GOOSEBERRY (Ribes hirtellum)
OPTION 3 - WILD LETTUCE (Lactuca virosa)
SO FAR AS I KNOW...
Of the plants listed above, I believe that only Glechoma hederacea (Creeping Charlie AKA Ground Ivy) has antibacterial properties and therefore I predetermined that it was the correct answer prior to posting the last round. Unless I find our otherwise, this means that only one team survived the last round, and is therefore the winner!
DAY 8 ROUND 2 RESULTS
RIP @edgarstudio & @peacemaker
TEAM BARZ chose Option 3 last round, and although there are benefits to Wild Lettuce, it did not help with the infection and this team has now perished. Thanks very much for playing and great job making it this far! Season 3 will be starting soon if you are interested in trying again.
RIP @len.george & @trevor.george
THE KIWIS went with Option 2 last round. The American Gooseberries were a tasty treat, but they did not help with the infection either, and The Kiwis have also perished. Great job almost winning guys. @Trevor.george, your daily stories are a great addition to the game to. Feel free to join back in when Season 3 starts.

TEAM SZUMNI has won! Unless I find out something else regarding the plant options, you guys are the winners for Season 2! Excellent work and thanks for your prompt responses in each round.
The winning team will be receiving 400 STEEM in the near future, and all other teams will be paid out 1 STEEM per day of gameplay that they survived. I'll do a promo post in the near future for Season 3 and start the open signup after that. Anyone interested in participating should find a teammate and pick a team name.
Please give me a few days if need be to finalize the payouts and get the STEEM distributed. Thank you in advance.
You guys have been wonderful and thanks for supporting me in this interesting and entertaining game! I look forward to keeping it going. Hopefully you are all having some fun with it!
Until next time…

Congratulations to the winners receiving 400 steems. That's very good. I wish and hope everyone enjoyed the contest! :)
Yeah, that's a great prize pack right now!
Great game bro, me and Edgar almost chose option 1 but when we found out that it was potentially toxic if consumed we opted for option 3
Here is the excerpt from Wikipedia lol
"Glechoma hederacea has been used in the traditional medicine of Europe going back thousands of years: Galen recommends the plant to treat inflammation of the eyes. John Gerard, an English herbalist, recommended the plant to treat tinnitus, as well as a "diuretic, astringent, tonic and gentle stimulant. Useful in kidney diseases and for indigestion." It has also been used as a "lung herb".[13] Other traditional uses include as an expectorant, astringent, and to treat bronchitis.[14] The essential oil of the plant has been used for centuries as a general tonic for colds and coughs, and to relieve congestion of the mucous membranes.[citation needed] In the traditional Austrian medicine the herb has been prescribed for internal application as salad or tea for the treatment of variety of different conditions including disorders associated with the liver and bile, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, kidneys and urinary tract, fever, and flu.[15]
Safety
Although it has been used as a salad green and in herbal medicines for thousands of years, the safety of Glechoma hederacea has not been established scientifically, and there is sufficient evidence to warrant caution with its use.[citation needed] Glechoma hederacea is toxic to cattle and horses.[16] Glechoma hederacea is known to contain terpenoids; terpene-rich volatile oils are known to irritate the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. The volatile oil also contains pulegone, a chemical also occurring in pennyroyal, that is a known irritant, toxic to the liver, and also an abortifacient. The total yield of volatile oil in Glechoma is less than 1/30th the concentration that of pennyroyal.[14]"
Maybe this can be validated and we move to the next round for sudden death hopefully haha?
If not then congrats to the rightful winners either way. It was fun for sure
Good to see people were at least researching. Thanks @verbal-d!
You are most welcome, We are aiming for season 3 indeed!
Congratulations :D
Great fun reading all the different scenarios (except for the one where my team died). Congratulations to Team Szumni for outlasting/outthinking all the others.
LOL, "except for the one where my team died."
Back next season?
Absolutely! Looking forward to it.
Glad to hear it!
Nobody picks me until this game ends.....mean folks!
