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

 Guido Cannetti +650. A big F.U. from the Wheel!

@Schatte 

The wheel seems to hate you in perticuler for some reason lol! 

piglet is good to roll. again.

Ready for another 1st round exit. Tony isn't that bad but I do think that he is def the underdog.

2nd fight finds Bellatrix (Tyson Nam) vs. CangrejoRuiz (Bruno Silva) 

then the 4th fight really picks it up as both BoomShakaLaka & gwinCLARKE2019 have Tony Gravely taking on ccollins44 & Nuggetheel with Victor Henry

after a 2 fight break, we finish off the prelims with me (Karl Williams) vs. Rigno (Lukasz Brezeski)

main card opens with kushycake (Vitor Petrino) 

then Schatte represents us with Guido Cannetti vs. obvious wheel favorite Piggybank and Mario Bautista

followed by Schwerindustrie (Jonathan Martinez) vs. UNDER SURVEILANCE (Said Nurmagomedov) 

then CaptnKbec has Krylov and Cheeseball has Volkov in the co-main

and finally the main event has AyyL and Kkkomboo with Merab Dvalishvili squaring off with Xconchris who has Petr Yan

@mulefloyd 

Awesome breakdown of the order of the card! Makes the fights seem much more intense and personal! 

19 entered the 1st round. 12 answered the bell for the 2nd! The Wheel was feeling rather merciful this week with only a 36.84% elimination rate! The remaining lucky bastards are:

• AyyLmaonnaise
• CangrejoRuiz
• CaptnKbec
• ccollins44
• Cheeseball
• Kkkomboo
• kushycake
• mulefloyd
• Nuggetheel
• PiggyBank
• Schwerindustrie
• Ubermacht

Good luck to you remaining lucky bastards!

Oh **** I forgot the wheel chose merab🤣 damn I should’ve switched my pick 

well done Henry, well done

The viewing guide is cool!
I'm out but proud of my boy Tony, that was a great scrap

How could I still pick flabby butt Romanov despite the wheel obviously knowing better?

@Ubermacht

Well it seems The Wheel was a bit undecided on that fight as well as it picked Romanov for his "official" randomly generated picks as part of the side experiment to see how what it's pick % would be using it's own random method lol!

The Wheel picked Romanov for itself and gave you Volkov so arguably it took an L to ensure make you advance! Or maybe it was all just random luck, you never know with that wheel!
