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!

@UNDER SURVEILLANCE 

you are too

@UNDER SURVEILLANCE 

  my breathe now and eyes closed. Tell me when I can open my eyes?

I take pride in the fact a random wheel chose a fighter to win and assigned that to me, and he won. This result leads to the hypothesis that I am the best and am insanely skillful. Btw I said Topuria would ko volk in the 2nd

6 entered the 3rd round. Only 3 march on to the 4th. A 50% elimination rate from

congrats Baron already 

indeed

3 entered the 4th round. Only two face off for the 5th. A 33.33% elimination rate from

@The Wheel 

The 2 remaining lucky bastards are:

• Baron Von Rattus
• DamienHandel420

As Raul Rosas Jr. VS Ricky Turcios fight got cancelled due to Raul Rosas Jr. becoming ill, it means that our defending Champion 

@Drmaxis2 

is eliminated as he had Ricky Turcios and draws, no-contests and cancelled fights for any reason are counted as losses in this game because having your fighter involved in a cancelled fight is pretty unlucky and the whole point of the game is about being the luckiest. 

Good luck to the remaining 2 lucky bastards!

Here's the draw for the 5th round! Good luck you two!

For those who can't/don't want to watch the video, the matchups are:

• Baron Von Rattus - Aiemann Zahabi
• DamienHandel420 - AJ Cunningham

Good luck you two!
