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

Just to confirm for anyone who can't or doesn't want to watch the video, these are the matchups for round 4:

• AyyLmaonnaise - Joaquim Silva
• KyleH - Raoni Barcelos
• Nuggetheel - Ilir Latifi 

Good luck you 3!

I should’ve switched my pick back to silva lol. The wheel saves me again 

The wheel knows all. Tapology isn’t worthy of its presence.

The wheel decided to show mercy this week and allowed all 3 of you to go through! No eliminations! Good luck to:

• AyyLmaonnaise
• KyleH
• Nuggetheel

This is also the furthest we've ever gone in this game's short history as the last event ended in the 4th round! Lets see if the wheel will be as kind next week!

Here's the video for the 5th Round draw!

Just to clarify for anyone who can't and/or doesn't want to watch the video, here are the matchups:

• AyyLmaonnaise - Sam Hughes
• KyleH - Alonzo Menifield 
• Nuggetheel - Lucas Alexander

Good luck to you 3!

Congrats on your win @kyleH

@WastelandWanderer

OH ****! I completely forgot lol! I meant to start the new one straight after the last one ended to start on UFC 280 but that just slipped my mind! I'll start the new one for the UFC Fight Night: Kattar VS Allen card. I'll make one of those posters and everything when I find the time but I'll make a note of anyone who wants to join from now!

I think we can make this one happen too, starting with UFC 280 .
