The Lucky Bastard Game

WHAT IS IT?

In short, it works similar to the Tapology Survivor game in the sense that it continues every week until there's a winner (or in some cases in this game no winner) but instead of picking your fighters, get assigned a random fighter from the upcoming UFC card and hope they win. 


FORMAT:

1) To enter, simply say that you want to enter at the start of a new game. The length of the games depend entirely on how long it takes to either find a winner or eliminate everyone.

2) Then, you will randomly be assigned a fighter from the upcoming UFC card. This will be decided by me using this site I found wheeldecide.com and putting all the fighters names on a wheel and going through the list of players one by one and spinning the wheel to decide which fighter they get. I'll make a very low quality video of the draw and post it here to show I'm not deliberately messing with anyone in particular. It might mean that some people end up with the same fighter but that doesn't affect the game as it's more of an everybody fighting for themselves kinda game rather than a head to head game.

3) If your randomly assigned fighter wins their fight then you're through to the next round. If their fight get cancelled or postponed then I'll count it as a loss as it would be considered unlucky. Draws and no contests will also count as losses for the same reason. This happens every week until there is only one left and they will be the winner. In a unique twist to make the game as stupid as possible, if everyone eventually goes out, then nobody wins the game and the game will be marked in the record books as "nobody ******* won" or something like that. For example, if there are 2 or 3 people left and they all have losing fighters then nobody wins the game. I feel this also adds weight to the game as you have to be REALLY lucky to be a winner as you literally have to be luckier than every other competitor to be the only one left standing!


WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET?

A place on the list of winners that will be displayed on the opening post of every new game and their current AV put on the new game poster (see below) in the middle of the horseshow so they effectively become the poster boy/girl/other for the new game!

Any questions, just ask! And remember, please don't take this game too seriously! I mean, it's practically a satire of the Survivor Game when you think about it lol!

For the sake of record keeping and historical intrigue, here's the link to the Tapology Lucky Bastard Game: 1st Edition that was on a separate thread: https://www.tapology.com/forum/threads/68098

Why do I get the feeling that the wheel discriminates against women, virgins and Germans?

@STi 

I don't know if i'm late or not, can you count me in... or in the next one... please... !?

The Diamond! Love Dustin and love having him here.
Anything can happen tho. 

I´ve just realized how difficult is the pronunciation of my name in english lol.

I know I'm not the only one who just got Adecisionsanya. this is rigged 

That’s good because he’s gonna win

The wheel must be rewarding me for getting my ass kicked at work. Thanks wheel, you're a good bro 👊

🧢

We’ll see in a couple hours but never forget Adesanya has the most knockdowns in a UFC title fight.

@TARTARA

Sorry, you're a little late for this game unfortunately but I'll add you in the 5th Edition when this one ends. That could either be next week or an eternity depending on the wheel's mood.

@CangrejoRuiz

It's probably a lot simpler than I'm making it out to be but I'm just really **** at pronunciations! For most of the time I was in school I was always being taken out for extra help with my reading so I guess I always have been lol!

@STi

Thanks man , count me in please !

i am set.


ty, wheelie.

ty, terry.

tartara sux, btw

You can ask Stephen Terry, he knows almost everything about me... ! And thank you for being a stupid troll on this site... !

I miss the days when most people got on with each other and we were all united against @mmafortuneteller! Just remember that if you disagree with someone, remember to attack their argument, not the user themselves.
