Over the course of roughly 2 years, I've slowly been working on a MMA Trading Card Game in my spare time. In that time, I believe I've developed a diverse system that showcases all facets of MMA in a balanced, engaging, & diverse way. Just as a fan of both MMA & TCGs, I've looked into other MMA related card games on the market such as Uncaged, Deckfighters, MMA Federation, etc. I found them all extremely sub-par for many reasons but mainly due to the lack of depth, strategy, & customization when compared to the big, mainstream card games (magic, yugioh, etc). That being said, I think i've finally been able to accurately capture the art form in an accurate, fun way. I've already had all the cards professionally printed with placeholder images. I then had the game play tested with friends, family, & people at my local hobby/game shops. All with varying levels of knowledge & familiarity of strategy card games & MMA. I've worked out all the "bugs", exploits, & mechanics for a variety of play styles to be enjoyable & viable. I'm making this post because i'm ready to move forward with the next phase of making this game a reality: official card artwork. As of right now, their are 231 cards i'm in need of images for. I'm looking not only just for graphic artists but ones that are interested & decently knowledgeable of MMA. My vision for the art style is an anime aesthetic a la Hajime no Ippo, Teppu, etc. However, I'm open to other ideas, concepts, & styles! With each card i can give a brief description about the fighter (nationality, size, expression, real life inspiration), techniques (source images for the real technique), events, etc which leaves a decent amount of artistic freedom. This is a really big passion project of mine, which if i'm being honest, I'm nervously excited about moving forward with. I have & know of multiple platforms & channels to contact artists with but this is the first place publicly i'm reaching out through. So if you're interested or know someone that would possibly be interested, PM me in game & we can talk further details.

Florida Fight Squad "Of the Night" Awards Recaps! FFS 4: Belle Glade Venue: Backyard http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/15865089541500x1000.jpg Fight of the Night http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/16/16w4.jpg VS http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/1/1b7.jpg Richard "Lad" Wartime (1-0) vs Metal Lee (0-1) Winner: Richard "Lad" Wartime KO (strikes) / 42 seconds Lee feinted a leg kick which no garnered no reaction from Wartime. Soon after, Wartime went in for the takedown. After Lee attempted to sprawl, they landed in the grass up against the house. Wartime smashed his opponent with elbows & punches from the half guard until Lee was unconcious. The crowd loved this one! The homeowner however did not... "Ay man ya'll chippin' my paint all up & shit muthafuckas!!!" Knockout of the Night http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/1/1b17.jpg Darren Williams (2-0) TKO (strikes) / 28 seconds Darren wasted no time showing the out-of-shape South African who the stronger man was, clinching up with him, & slamming him up against the house. Williams fired off a variety of punches in the clinch until unloading a massive uppercut causing De Swardt to fall to his knees. De Swardt, already out of it, took a few more blows until the ref jumped in. The home owner commented "Damn I didn't think y'all be fightin' on my house & shit, fuck". Submission of the Night http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/15/15w20.jpg Frankie "Lickety Split" Fellatio (2-0) Armbar / 2 minutes 24 seconds After avoiding several clinch attempts from Archer, Fellatio shot in with a beautiful double leg & ended up in half guard. You would think that after a minute or two of grappling outside in the Florida heat would make most submissions a little tricky but Fellatio decided to go for a risky armbar from mount. The risk paid off as he forced Archer to tap. After the fight the home owner shouted to the crowd "YOOO he took mans down right where my dog go boo boo!" This was confirmed after the fight as Archer could be seen getting his back hosed down & cleaned up by an elderly neighbor. Gross. FFS 5: Palatka Venue: Construction Site http://mmatycoon.com/images/posters/158701698920200416_020244.jpg Fight of the Night http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/23/23w22.jpg VS http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/38/38b18.jpg Callum Neenan (1-0) vs Pierre Mvarre (3-1) Winner: Callum Neenan KO (punch) / 1 minute 8 seconds Callum Neenan came into this fight a big underdog as his opponent, Pierre Mvarre, had won 3 straight by KO on the local circuit & in a actual MMA organiziation. Neenan, who was making his debut, showed no concern about his opponent's experience as they faced off. Neenan completely outclassed the Nigerian in the boxing exchanges showing off his crisp, accurate technique. Moments after knocking Mvarre down with an uppercut, Neenan finished the job with a big straight right hand ending Mvarre's unbeaten streak. Word is Mvarre fell on a rusty nail & had to be treated for tetanus. Not good not good at all. Knockout of the Night http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15853680833425.jpg Sturn Slugger (1-0) KO (punch) / 17 seconds When Sturn Slugger made his way through the crowd & squared off with Arkadiusz Burdon, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Several audience members loudly ridiculed him with one man shouting "Who is this Mortal Kombat lookin' muthafucka *HAHAHA*" 17 seconds later, nobody was laughing... After feeling each other out with a couple strikes, Slugger cracked Burdon with a big right hand knocking him down into the clay. Bleeding & on wobbly legs, Burdon was beckoned back to his feet by Slugger. Credit to Burdon as it didn't deter him from still throwing punches & attempting to fight back. Unfortunately for Burdon he ducked a jab & got nailed with an uppercut straight from the Netherrealm. If Burdon didn't get knocked out by the punch he certainly would have been from hitting his head on a cement mixer on the way down. Ouch.

Sounds like a plan! I think it should still be 7 days apart though. Might not be enough to recover from injuries but it would allow you to recover energy max.

I guess just make it a 4-man tourney?

Not trying to be that guy but for such a prolific KT fighter Renato is 3-2-1 in title fights with the org lol

Beautiful write-up

Hey man I with ya Django. I interpreted your message as one thats coming from a positive place. You're not hurting anyone by sharing your opinion & neither are the people replying to your post. I personally may disagree with a lot of people on this thread but it does give perspective from all angles. At the end of the day it takes all types of people to make up this world. Just keep on doin' you thats all you can do brotha.

Short & sweet, Thanks man!

Does anyone have a formula/numbers for event advertising spend & production values? Specifically for the 400, 700, & 750 capacity arenas. I know about tycoon tools but it only shows the amount of free tickets to give out & the order the fights should be.

Mike says the issue has been fixed if you are still interested in signing some fighters. Friends, Family Contract Error 2020-04-12 14:35:37 Hey Mike I cannot send contracts for Chris Karters (4744) & Rick Steiners (111698) fighters as it says we are friends, family, etc which is definitely not the case. Re: Friends, Family Contract Error 2020-04-13 13:02:27 sorted Re: Re: Friends, Family Contract Error 2020-04-13 13:20:21 Thanks! What was the issue if you dont mind me asking? Re: Re: Re: Friends, Family Contract Error 2020-04-13 15:33:10 You matched IP somehow... I dunno how

Nope as far as Florida I've only lived in the 386 & now the 352.

Just messaged Mike. Hopefully it gets resolved.

No backgrounds checks. Age is based on your word. Real Cuban style!

Looks good, can't wait to see it completed!

Contracts sent!

You are more than welcome too! That would be pretty neat. I can always go back and edit the post to add the updated picture. Also, I'm in need of an org logo & banner if you are up to the challenge.

I actually already tried to sign them before you posted this. It won't let me sign your fighters, along with a couple others saying that your friends/family/etc. Very frustrating.

So you wanna be an MMA fighter? Heh well my friend this is where your journey begins right here with the Florida Fight Squad! Event accommodations are humble to say the least. Fights take place either in a make shift ring or nothing at all. We travel to VFW halls, bars, backyards, parking lots & all other sorts of glamorous, exotic locations! It ain't pretty but you'll find out if you really wanna be a fighter REAL fast. Aside from visiting the most beautiful cities in Florida that allow combat sports events without things like "permits" & "insurance", you'll earn your chops against fellow fledgling fighters looking to establish themselves in the fight game! No limitations on attire, wear whatever you want. If you wanna rock a wrestling singlet, weird flex but ok. Wanna wear a $10 chain & some JNCOs?, do it who gives a shit. Gloves are not required but encouraged. All that being said, our fights are sanctioned & recognized by the Florida State Athletic Commission (amazing what a little blackmail can do). So come join us if you think you got what it takes! Oh & if the police show up RUN & if they catch you, you don't know me! In-Game Details: -16-19 year old fighters only (Non-ID) -Fair fights based on org skill estimate tool -1 round x 3 minutes to reduce energy loss for prospects still in training -Once a fighter turns 20 they are released -Standard contract is 3 fights 2k/2k/2k -If you would like to do a test fight lmk & I will send you a 1-fight 1/1/1 contract

Org logo, thumbnail, & banner needed for my new org Florida Fight Squad. Just looking for the most stereotypical Florida aesthetic for the design (palm trees, gators, oranges, etc). Reply here or message me in game if you can help!

Matvey Pavlov (CWC 9-2; BW Champ) Rodney Holzken (CWC 5-1; FW Champ) Ibbe Ribbler (CWC 6-1; WW Champ) Claudio Ty (CWC 7-0; MW Champ) Didi Vicini (CWC 7-1; LHW Champ) Fray Tormenta (CWC 6-0) Helio Kimura (CWC 4-3) P.S. please do not vote for yourself Updated 4/5

Nevermind I figured it out minutes after posting this lol

I just bought a private jet that is currently located in Rio. How do I move just the jet without scheduling to move any fighters? It's probably extremely simple i just can't figure it out though.

Not really super concerned about building hype or being an associated feeder org. My plan is as follows: -Low contracts (2 fights / 1k/1k/1k) -Not having any champions (so no stripping the champ hype loss) -Booking only at the 400-750 capacity arenas to minimize costs (though I assume i'll always be spending my own money for the duration that the org exists) -Once a fighter turns 20, they'll be free to go wherever they please I just wanted to do something a little different from the norm just for fun. Hopefully if my plan comes together, it'll be a consistent starting/low tier org that people will be familiar with much like when you think of high tier you think of GAMMA, PULSE, CEC (RIP), ICS, & SYN. Thank you everyone for the feedback & interest, look forward to it somewhere in the near future!

Me & John have been running CWC pretty well bud (97% satisfaction rating from 51 votes / #9 Highest Rated Satisfaction) so i'm not to worried about it. Btw check out the link in that fighter's bio, couldn't be more transparent lol He won fight character of the year for god sake so people understood the angle pretty clearly. I also stumbled across this little gem of a thread not to long ago click here. I'm not that active on the forums so i never saw it when it was fresh & by the time I did, I didn't really care at that point (nice blind multi accusation though lol). Again, seems most people understood what i was going for. How many beatings post fixed career (5-10-2) does Marty gotta take to get your forgiveness daddy Kendrick? :'(
