Whatever happened to Season 7 of the STEEM-Pocalypse Survival Game Contest?
Man, the STEEM-Pocalypse contest was huge success. It even birthed a few spinoffs like the STEEM-Pocalypse Show and the 'Pocalypse Poetry Contest. At the moment though, life is hitting me hard. I've got a ton going on and I am really appreciating the break from running that contest. Even with help it was still a very time demanding and mentally fatiguing game to run.
That said, I do plan on starting it back up again, just not yet.
NEW CONTEST IDEA?
In the mean time, I was considering running a different contest, but using the same player-elimination / growing prize pool style that the STEEM-Pocalypse had. I was considering some sort of "daily selfie challenge." Basically, I would come up with certain criteria for the selfie on a daily basis and players would then have 24 hours to post a qualifying selfie. Players who missed the deadline or fail to meet the requirements would be eliminated, and the rest would continue on to the next round.
Since "selfies" are so popular anyways today, I thought that it would be a good challenge. Also, since people really don't make money off of selfies, I thought that this would go a long way into showing the difference that steemit makes. Perhaps someone will even take home a few hundred dollars in the contest.
Besides the final prize pool, I would also award points for each round for things like the "best selfie" and the "most creative" selfie. This way individual players would have a chance to earn some SBD even if they did not win the contest.
It'll also provide us with some fun, creative, and entertaining community interaction during the downtime from the STEEM-Pocalypse game.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Would anyone be interesting in playing a "daily selfie elimination challenge" for a chance to win some SBD? If so, please let me know below. If I get enough interest, I'll do a startup post in the next few days.
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
I think it's a great idea but only as long as the participants stay within their safety limits. You get to hear a lot of news about deaths while trying to take selfies, mainly due to negligence. Just a few days ago in India, three students were run over by a train while trying to take selfies.
I hope the participants are well aware of their surroundings at all times.
I was going to be sure to point that out in the rules! Thanks for mentioning it here too. UPVOTED for visibility.
Safety First!
Damn.
Oh that's tragic. Do you remember planking? I'm honestly surprised I never heard of anyone falling to their doom, with some of the photos people took doing that.
Don't quite remember planking, didn't have an internet connection back then. But I'd read about it in the newspapers. People take fads way too seriously!

STEEM-POCALYPSE ATUALIZAÇÃO E UMA NOVA IDEIA DE COMPETIÇÃO por papa-pepper
Nice! Thanks man!
I just don't know how you can always keep coming up with such great ideas. I just loved it !
Even I do not have a good cellphone camera i surely would participate just for the fun !
I see this with a potential to be Extremely enjoyable, funny and competitive at the same time.
I think you'd be a great participant. Stay tuned. I might start the signup tomorrow.
just made a portuguese version of your post =)
Hope that helps to reach more interested people in potential
Yes for sure i will be interested, as long as you don't ask us to take selfies with snake.. Hhaaahahaaaaa
That's exactly what I was thinking.
@ papa-pepper Indeed for beyond any doubt I will be intrigued, as long as you don't request
I don't know @papa-pepper - eating roadkill, running from infected animals and zombies, stealing guns (and dying) all sounds like a lot of fun.
Putting up pictures of me on the interweb is likely to be traumatizing for young children and dogs.
But if you start it up I'll give it a go, and let the tears fall where they may ;-)
Lol! Sounds good!
I shall also take part.
I did not do the last contest but I am pretty sure I can take the most ridiculous "selfie" in the known universe. (me in picture)
Perhaps that will be a round.
Great contest idea
I guess everyone would love it since people nowadays love to take selfies and so I am. :)
Oh oh oh, I'm interested! I missed out on the last contest but this sounds like fun.
Cool. I would be happy to have you play.
I'm ready.
I'm not a selfie person but think it might be fun to try - be a nice change from my normal routine.
You could always wear sunglasses or something.
Thanks a lot for information @papa-pepper. we are waiting for the upcoming post .. success for you. Very good post 😊
That sounds like a great idea. Given your repertoire of "Proof of ..." selfies, I am a little nervous thinking about what challenges you might create. Kiss a Cobra? Groom a 'gator? Pet a porcupine?
O no i didn't think of that. I aint doin' none o that...LOL
Sounds good for the able-bodied :) I couldn't enter as I am unable to take selfies :(
Nice post, keep it up.
Haha.. This sounds like a fun idea.
I presume the Nokia 8 crowd will be sharing bothies..
The last season of Steem-Pocalypse ran for soo long, I agree this is a much needed break and gives the mind some time to unwind.
Will check ur feed for any upcoming notices. Have a great day.
really a very good contest friend ,, I pray you may always success
It would be really great !!! I would like to participate!
yes. i am interested.
Don't know if I would post - I'm not really a selfie person, but I'd sure show up to see everyone else's posts!
Like the pic with the fowl and your looks....so amazing to read your post
I can see it now, selfies with a different animal every day! Maybe those that hate selfies can do pictures of goats in sunglasses or something.
IS it kind of like zombie survival? Cannot wait to hear the results!!
I am intrested in selfie contest. And waiting for pocalypse comming round
This is a great idea would love to see all the selfies from all over the world
Me too.
Well I guess if people are shy about putting their pictures on the Internet this could be one hell of a way to get over it!
Lol, it sure would.
That Toad Staredown looked intense!
Thanks, but no thanks. Some of us aren't fans of having our pictures taken, even if it is a 'selfie'.
Yeah, there is probably plenty in that crowd. Perhaps I'll run it once and see how it goes.
hmm, sounds interesting, I'll have to give it some consideration, when are you planing of starting it? I don't always get a chance to get on here everyday, but I could use this as a good excuse ;)
Will a roll of brown paper do for a snake? If we are asked for a selfie with a snake, NZ has none, not even in Zoos. Otherwise will have a go.
This sounds like a great idea to me! I would definitely do it!

Im on it!!
I'm not a selfie person (not even a big fan of having my picture taken)...the only ones I've ever taken were for ID purposes...if I wouldn't have to show my whole face...maybe just my eyes like Wilson, the neighbor, from the television show Home Improvement...you know the guy that you only saw from his eyes up as he's looking over the fence at Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (or one of his family members). That could be me, if you allowed that, then I'd give it a shot. :D If that isn't allowed than I'd just enjoy voting for the selfies. :D
That could work! Sunglasses and a bandit bandana could be your look too!
HAHAHA, that would be hilarious! :D
Brother I am honestly glad you are taking a break because we need it too. I know TS-PS kind of ended abruptly in season 6 but as you said, this game is demanding. We felt just trying to produce our episodes each night. Even my performance at work declined from my lack of sleep.
With that being said, I got a selfie stick at Walmart right before we ended our season so your selfie contest sounds like a great way to put it to some good steemit use. I'm all for it.
I'm very much into this. As a woman i think that would be a good candidate to add a female touch. As a self designated crazy cat lady ( even though i cant afford cats) I know i would be the habenero in the pepper patch. P.S. I need this.
