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

Stephen, I think you've confused Levitt with Jared Gordon

@Kkkomboo

Yeah, not sure how I managed that lol! That's what happens when I try to make an MMA video on the fly at 1:30 in the morning. I should probably make notes before rather than just trying to recall **** off the top of my head but I'm too lazy for that lol! 

The final is coming already haha! Wastelandwanderer vs Cheeseball, if Suarez still good

Yessss, she is! 

Oh wait, Ode Osborne won too. My bad

8 entered the 2nd round. Only 3 answered the bell for the 3rd! The remaining lucky bastards are:

• Cheeseball
• PiggyBank
• WastelandWanderer

Just to remind everyone that because the main event got cancelled, both me (Nikita Krylov) and @TARTARA (Ryan Spann) are also eliminated.

told y'all

I'm not so confident in this Basharat

Damon is a dog

u'll see. i am confident in this one.

there's 7 fighters on the card with perfect pro record(counting jones in this one too) makes it half of the card. 1 or 2 are going to lose their streaks tonight, trust me. and yeah, i think esteban is one of them.

Pain…. Good luck to the last two, go take out that tyrannical wheel!

Shoutouts to the unofficial LBG champ Tartara.

@Cheeseball

Yeah, I felt kinda awkward making the poster lol! I don't mean any disrespect to @TARTARA but the main prize for winning this is getting your AV on the new game's poster and that's what @PiggyBank has as his AV at the time of winning.
