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.
A Special Thanks to @liberty-minded for Providing the Title Gif and the GAME OVER Gif and a very Special Thanks to @novaatebatman for all the help keeping track of this mess.
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
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!
Congrats to Team Random! wow that's ended suddenly. Thanks @papa-pepper for interesting and exciting game , I am waiting for next Season!
You were close, next time you had better shoot the turkeys!
Thanks @mikegun!
Thanks good luck next season
Thank you so much @papa-pepper for an awesome season. Had a ton of fun, had no choice but to talk to my brother on a daily basis, won some cash and learned a whole lot of information along the way. To me this game is all anyone could ask for. Can't wait till next season.
Now that was something that I had not planned on, bringing families together... and then killing them!
Thanks so much for playing guys! It was great to have you!
Ditto, perfect game. I live in New York, and my brother loves in Florida as of 2 years ago, I believe (time gets blurry as you age lol). We used to do everything together with our families. This game has offered an opportunity for 2 brothers, on opposite ends of the country, to still have an adventure. Thank you for that.
So glad to hear it, and you guys did great! Thanks for playing!
Hey @papa-pepper !!
This is a really cool idea, and I would love to take part in this event the next time around!
Keep up the entertainment, and if you could tell me how I could take part in this next time, along with 'where and when' details it would be amazing!
Looking forward to hearing from you - Cheers!!
Awesome. I'm definitely getting in on the next game!
Very good initiative.. Having fun and making money at the same time. Thanks for putting smiles on people's face... You are highly appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words!
Congrats to Team Random and thank you @papa-pepper for another great season!
Thank you for playing along and having some fun!
good post
385 SBD danggg congrats guys! I got killed off pretty early lol
Perhaps next time!
Thanks man
That was quite a nail-biter game! Too bad I was killed off so early, but it was interesting to follow along anyway. I'm looking forward to surviving longer next season. Congratulations to the winners and runners up!
Live and learn... or die and learn!
Thanks for playing while you could and I'd be glad to have you back next time.
Thanks I would of died early too if @bmwaso didnt share his hard earned food with me. I guess there is strength in numbers.
There is absolutely strength in numbers. That is why we form groups and societies. Think how strong we could be if the entire population of this planet could stop fighting each other and instead support each other? I doubt I will live to see that day, but boy would that be something!
Steemit was designed with that idea in mind, however we still have too many people that cannot see the benefit of working together to help each other and are instead attempting to help themselves. @papa-pepper is a great example of how helping others actually brings success to yourself. The proof is right here. I don't know why some people just can't see it.
Wow. Quite the surprise ending. I thought the game would go on for a while longer. I guess most everyone left did the same bear research as me. Too bad your bears didn't get that memo. 😃
Still, a finish in the top 10, and a split of the runner-up prize is not a bad showing for only my second time playing the game. Next time, it's FTW. 🙌🌈🦄😀
Yes - FTW = For The Win!
I knew that sometimes noise could work, but it is not foolproof. You all sure had a great run though!
Man this was an epic SteemPoc....
Can't believe how long it went on too! I'm relieved that it's over now tho bc I've been waiting for my opportunity to suit up and get back into!
Looking forward to the next one!
Glad to hear it!
So close to winning @jznsamuel!
yes, I know :D But the unpredictability of the game makes it interesting and fun, a 2nd place is a good finish :)
Yeah at least you earned something
congratulations to team Random. Now you can bear it and grin it all the way to your wallets.
Thanks. Thats one way steemit makes things even better.
This is a great game! I can't wait for the next one! Thanks for having it! 😎✌️️
congratulations to TEAM RANDOM ! and Thanks for another wonderful season @papa-pepper. It lasted quite a while, and now I know what to do during a bear attack...
Thanks I end up learning mostly about herbs. That way if I get lost in a forest I might survive for a day or two unless a starving bear finds me
Haha, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't last as long out in the wild as I lasted here! Way to go - I know how awesome it feels to be left standing alive in the end :) I hope eating 8 of us causes these bears some massive indigestion...
This looks pretty fun would be interesting to try a round.
Congrats TEAM RANDOM!
Congrats team random @modnar & @bmwaso!
Thank you @papa-pepper & @novaatebatman for the awesome game you're doing here! I'm looking forward to a new season :)
Thanks good luck for the next one
Hooh, the last round was difficult. This time you offered us a lot of options how to deal with the bear, but most of them broke about the phrase "just a feet from you." As I know foot is about 30 centimeters. It seemed to me that this is a very small distance for any active action. Who could have known that they were so hungry...
Congratulations to the "Team Random"! You are good fellows, who did not lose their heads and gave a worthy rebuff to the monsters.
This season was really long. Thank you papa-pepper for an interesting game, and especially for your gifts for those who died in the last round. Will be waiting for a new chance and your sign-up post to the next season;-)

Congrats winners! :)
