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

I'm about to make the video of the draw but I'm afraid it won't have any sound as my microphone is completely ****** and I can't get it working though the usual fixes. You'll still be able to watch the wheel spin though.

What draw? I thought we starting a new game?

Sorry about the lack of sound but as you won't be able to hear me read the names of who got who aloud, I've done it as a screen share going between the wheel tab and and the list of your names in the excel sheet I use to keep track so you can see that it's still completely random. Hopefully, I'll have got my microphone fixed by next week!

@Hippie

I mean draw as in drawing names from a random wheel or drawing names out a hat, not the "both fighters were equally good and it was a draw" context. Hope that makes sense.

Ohh cool, so I guess I’m still in the luck game.

Can I join

Probably no, since he already recorded the first round.

I am gonna need your rotageek login and password before I play 

😆 

Hmmm interesting if Di Chirico loses I'm out of the Lucky Bastard Game and the Survivor Game. Don't know how I feel about that tbh lol.

Got my boy Benoit LFG

Stupid wheel!! Picking Buckley for me means I'll be out in the first round again

Yes Ziam!  He's in my parlay too!  

Got Nathanial Wood....not the worst pick

I ended up with the best fighter of this first draw and yet I'm still gonna lose. That ain't right.

Let’s do it..

@Hippie 

Don't worry, I'll try to get it fixed before next week! Just got to work out if it's a technical problem or if it's physically damaged. I hope its the former but I dropped my PC pretty hard a couple of days ago so I fear it's the latter.

@Damien Handel 

Sorry, but I've already made the video for the first round so you're a little too late I'm afraid. I'll let you know when the next game starts!
