Re: Failcup PvC: With Complete Odds & Analysis!!

ah okay, thx for the info tongue

this makes a lot more sense. there is nothing worse than someone with a beastly economy and no skills at attacking. that just turns the family into a farm the size of Oklahoma... imo it's just funny to watch them crash and burn because of their own ineptitude. lol

Re: Failcup PvC: With Complete Odds & Analysis!!

(1) BC Cougar

He is more fail, than Cloud, a hard feat, but then again, one just has to read his forum posts to understand why... He advances to the next rounds because Nolio wants him to and has started giving automatic bye rounds to his favorite failures.


(2) Flint   

Flint knocks out Metrex in round 2, no surprise. Altho people trolled hard to get Metrex to advance. Flint is now 2nd in a long list of failures. I guess the whole, being a jackass who pretends to know everything about anything while clearly not being able to strategize his way out of a paper bag has paid dividends here. Well played Flint!


(3) Arganon

- Arganon is 3rd favorite? He called Nolio a dear old friend in some forum post that i skipped over because i figured it would make my brain seize if i continued reading. This leads me to think he exchanged sexual favors with No Means Nolio in order to get a less embarrassing placement in failcup. Arganon really has the full fail package!   He can't post logical threads, he can't lead, he can't bank, he can't plan infra, he can't fight a war, he can't learn from his mistakes, he can't get anyone to "come into #arganon and let's talk", he can't get the math right on his signature..., and finally he can't get attacked by more than one fam at once before running for forums screaming IA. Arganon is an evil mastermind though, this is all part of a plot to succeed at the one thing he can do. Winning failcup!

(4) Undeath 

- UD just beat Arby3, in fact, he blew him out of the water! I am not surprised that he blows tbh... but man... really impressive failure by UD. Arby3 thought encouraging NAP breaks would advance him, but he already failed in one crucial aspect, in order to fail at playing the game fairly you actually have to log in!!! Something UD knows all to well, that is why he never shows up more often than once per real life week...

(5) Glue

- Glue going inactive recently is a strong endorsement for his failures... but he doesnt have to try hard, his approach of failing since his IC inception is well documented. Most people who rage or troll on forums or in #mod/#general are actually really cool in family. e.g. Serenity, e.g. WhiteShadow  as a result... you would expect him to follow the same pattern, but no, i have witnessed several times where he destroyed his family from within. (both when he knew i was in family and when he had no idea)  I have seen glue rage, go rogue, go inactive, basically be a miserable human being at every chance he had to prove otherwise. Glue will win a round every once in awhile, so this hurts his failcup chances. but, i'm sure if he gets active again he'll come on here and rage, thus boosting his odds.

(6) Mizzle

Mizzle thinks just because he is a mod he has an edge in failcup, guess again buck-o! some of the biggest failures of all time are mods... and thus you're not even the only mod left on this year's failcup list. Mizzle really wants to be a failure, sadly, he is actually decent at attacking when he wants to be. Then again, he just upset Rain, one of the biggest failures in IC! So one really can't underestimate the Uber n00blet

(7) Destroyyoutoo

DYT is the type of guy who i could see putting on a falloutboy album and dreaming of getting married to the lead singer while sprawled out on his bed in front of a life sized poster of Pete Wentz... 'nuff said.

(8) Artic   

KT just deleted most threads on our fam forums, too bad, cause we had an awesome lol moment during our NAP talks with Artic's fam...

it basically went like this:

Artic> Oxy i am not on board with this NAP!
Artic> Emo is such a moron
Artic> what a [mooing] doucher...
Torqez> noted Artic, thank you...
Torqez> So we're all agreed on NAP then Oxy?
Oxygen> Yes
EmoHotPocket> Yeah, sounds good.
SADO> Yep
Artic> WTF?! NO, This is stupid!!! Greedy [marshmallows]
Torqez> Ok, great, we'll get Parrot to post in HQ then.
Oxygen> Great, we'll do the same.
-Oxygen has left the channel
Artic> This is absolutely [fantastic!] you [rainbows, colorful rainbows!]
Artic> you are ruining the game, you think you're some IC badasses, but in real life you're all just [a barrel full of fluffy puppies!]
Artic> What a bunch of [kittens.]
-Artic has left the channel


^ Poor Artic, he gets no respect sad
Then again, failing at 98% of the wars you fight in will lead to this kind of treatment. lol.

(9) Luster 

Luster almost let Big Gary portal in our core one time when Kagar asked him to do some house cleaning... correction. he DID let Big Gary portal in our core, lol. Luster went inactive and tried to nap by offering them 200 planets, Kagar raged and told Mark to go to hell with his offer, at which point I successfully cleared Gary while Kagar suicided on them until they offered a free NAP. Luster was not to be seen again, nor was most of the family, disgusted, Kagar and I both decided to go inactive.

(10) Big Gary

- If BIG GARY does not pass this heat against Happy Jedi, i have no faith in humanity. lol. in fact i think most ppl forget how fail Big Gary was, let's allow him back into the game for a 4th time for a couple weeks until he inevitably ruins it by giving people death threats again. Idk much about failcup players in real life... but it's safe to say Big Gary is a failure in real life as well, and should probably be in sort of state run facility. If Big Gary does not reach the Semi-finals then this failcup is clearly rigged!!!

(11) Jets 

I thought Lew Lew's "I refuse to play with people i don't know already, unless they are of Lithuanian origins" was a really brilliant strat to win failcup... but i guess it fell short against the "I will rate and talk crap about players i have stayed active with for maybe 4 days before vanishing" strat. Of course if Jets wins, he'll show up long enough to talk crap about Nolio, claim his prize, draft a family. and then ofc.... go totally inactive. all in the course of 47 hours. lol.

(12) Listos             

Why is this guy still in the running? maybe he is going for the, i have been playing IC for 10 years, but i still am a nobody amongst a player pool of 78 people strat. It seems to be working quite well so far. For some reason Nolio rated Listos more fail than Elbe. i think he needs to check his glasses. Elbe wins this heat and moves on to the next round quite easily unless you're all on drugs.

(13) IC Death

In Nolio's analysis he said donald has lost every round he has played in, while he has failed horribly in 95% of the families he has been in. I can attest to the fact that after his family with Rising Down and Serenity failed horribly in war vs 4903 and completely collapsed last round in PW... he then randomed into 4912 with myself and Nightwish. He was our least active attacker, but technically, he did win the round with us. So... i guess he gets a half victory on that one? As such he is an imposter and should be disqualified at once!!!!


(14) Aleph

What is more failriffic? Aleph's attempts to win wars? Aleph's attempts to be cool? Or Aleph's attempts to form a complete sentence in English that makes one bit of sense? If Melvin's English tutor and Elbe's IC mentor had a baby... this would be the thing that would fall out 9 months later.

(15) Elbe

- Elbe was WORST DRAFT LMAO.   What else needs to be said? Sometimes when WS picks on people in forums I think it's a bit meanspirited and over the top. I felt that way about Elbe... until I played with/againt/near/around him... He has to be one of the 5 worst players in IC history. I mean. wow. awful. He was such a cheating moron nap breaker idiot that he made Parrot delete. When does Parrot ever delete? Yeah. exactly...  Elbe treats NAPs like suggestions. lol. and once again Elbe was voted Worst Draft LMAO.   

(16) Nolio

This useless piece of crap is too busy buying shiny rims and fresh watermelons to do a failcup update more than once every 2 weeks... No Means Nolio, full time complainer, part time sexual predator... if for every negative comment Nolio launched and triggered a fleet, he'd have more captures this round than anyone else in MW. sadly, he is campaigning hard for failcup. Also, how did he beat Baratheon last round? Does anyone else find it slightly suspicious he is running failcup and just beat one of the most useless players in IC History? We're on to you buddy, better flee in your white Bronco, lmao. lolol


(17) Happy Jedi

- This guy is getting voted through over Big Gary at the moment, and it's pissing me off. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?! Don't get me wrong, this guy has a wife/mother/gf/aunt he forces to play with him as "Mother Jedi" and that's creepy as hell... But... BIG GARY IS BIG [mooing] GARY!!!! X( X( X(

(18) Melvin         

Sadly Melvin's English is better than Aleph's. But logicwise it's like comparing a fish with a sandwhich. I think Melvin can sort of flop around towards his daily goals in IC. but much like a fish, he probably ingests tons of his own urine by accident. I think Melvin could easily upset Luster here. Especially given the fact Luster has a kid so we know he had to have gotten laid at least once, which is more than i can say for poor old Melvin sad

(19) Primo       

Primo is one of the least failtastic contestants left... I still don't think he has great odds to win the whole thing, he's also facing Artic so i think his run is over. That's ok, you've had a good run, perhaps since you live sort of close to Amsterdam you can buy yourself a nice male escort as consolation...


(20) Render

Somewhere in Europe, Render is thinking to himself... I don't remember entering this contest... How drunk was I???

(21) Flashy

I can't take Flashy seriously as a player, he's just too hysterical. I think that's why he's gotten so far in the competition.

(22) Gwynedd     


Nolio summed it up best:
- He quit forum modding because he was tired of being in a position of authority for stupid people and then "hacked" the forums.
He subsequently went out and became a police officer.

One thing Nolio forgot: The time he was a dirty rotten spy in our fam chat!!! yikes
Ordinarily I'd say Gwynedd has tried very hard over the years at being a failure and a loser, but Glue outclasses him in douchery, and thus Gwynedd's life long dream of failure in IC is over... however, don't despair gwynn! you're a cop in real life. so i am sure u're a total failure and douche there, maybe you will win an award in rl big_smile

(23) Serenity 

Serenity wants to win it all, and he may just get his wish by being one of the biggest forum trolls of all time. but in reality the only thing he really fails at is passing for a bad ass. But one of his failure attributes are that he is a drunkard. incidentally, when hammered he might want to avoid getting the clap from some eastern european prostitutes, which he openly contemplates sleeping with on our fam irc channel... or maybe part of his strat is to contract freaky STDs and scratch his way past the finish errr failish line.
     
(24) TheBigOne           

TBO has the intelligence of a napkin, he also doesnt understand the concept of attacking enemy fams and would instead rather kill off his own. Then again his families usually consist of people like Jets, so it's hard to blame him.

                                                                                                                           
(25) dpenguins                   
             
Dpenguins had a great run, but i don't see him passing Flint in this heat. unless we're talking intelligence. dpenguins lives in Springfield, Mass. The same town where the Simpsons are rumored to be based upon. One could easily compare dpenguins to Ralph Wiggum, sitting in the corner with his finger stuck in his nose, wondering what it's like to actually understand how to play IC. however, this analogy also means Gwynedd is his dad, so he is screwed 6 ways from sunday... and yet... he is still smarter than Flint... pretty pathetic huh?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: Failcup PvC: With Complete Odds & Analysis!!

I quick PvC to please the masses:





(1) BC Cougar vs.  (25) dpenguins       

DPenguins clearly has what it takes to go all the way. He tied flint, 25th seed is inaccurate and he really may fail his way to the finals in a shocking turn of events. If he can tie Flint, is it impossible that he'll beat BC "stick up his ass" Cougar?                       

(2) Flint/Einstein vs. (16) Nolio

The troll draftee vs the troll drafter... Who will win? I think Flint takes this by a nose. But Nolio has been very fail at organizing this fail cup. I honestly believe this entire cup to be a ploy for Nolio to earn free stuff. Do not give in to him vote for Flint!!!

(3) Arganon vs. (15) Elbe

This is, in my mind, the toughest match up of Heat 4 (maybe with the exception of Gary vs Glue)
This is a competition of real retards. and this heat is no exception at all. I think Arganon will get through on name recognition and the fact that his failings are still happening to this day, whereas Elbe has gone mostly inactive. Honestly though, I think I'd rather keep Arg around for the lulz, whereas Elbe would just make me go rogue and then quit the game forever. Elbe is just that bad, and I really question the 15 seed he was given by Nolio, but then again, Nolio is also a failure finalist, so it all makes sense. I give this to Arg by a nose. (this matchup should've been reserved for the semi-finals)

(4) Undeath vs. (13) IC Death
I think this is pretty clear. ICD isn't good, but UD is just useless. ICD will try and then fail, UD will not try and then go inactive then when he returns like 4 weeks later he will have a lame excuse. (this has happened to several people over several rounds, I am not basing that analysis off of a personal grudge)


(5) Glue vs. (10) Big Gary

Wow. the Fail Off just got serial... I cannot believe these two heavyweights will go up against eachother here. I would've waited a bit longer, but fail nolio gave another fail seed to Big Gary.  If you don't consider Elbe and Big Gary 2 of the top 5 failures in IC history (or at least of the last couple years)   then u need to have your head examined because you're insane. I give this heat to Big Gary. BOTH are retarded douche ragers. But Glue has not threatened to stalk and murder other players in real life. Gary has. Also Glue is not gay for Anubis. Glue does suck tho. damn these choices are hard. I could see Glue getting through just because his failures are more recent even though Big Gary fails harded.

(6) Mizzle vs. (9) Luster
This should've been an early round match up tbh, a bit boring. I played with Mizzle this round when he put in 110%, he is a pretty good attacker, and I think "the rumors of his failures have been greatly exaggerated." this one goes to Luster, but a lot of ppl assume Mizzle sucks because he is a moron in public. This can also be applied to myself, White Shadow, Render, as well as a number of other players. I call it "The Serenity Effect"
Luster however, fails in genuine IC application, not just forums and chat. It's a question of perception vs reality. Luster is a much bigger failure (in fact they were both in 5071, Mizzle helped carry the fam, while Luster went inactive)  but the perception of Uber n00blet may trump actual ability. So I say Mizzle gets through.

(7) Destroyyoutoo vs. (8) Artic

DYT or Artic.  Haha, DYT has been a crowd favorite. He is a moron and he listens to emo music. 2 strikes. but Artic is
1. Artic
2. Artic
3. Artic 

3 strikes and you're out.   Artic advances by a nose based on the fact that not only is he fail, he is rage fail and overly prideful to boot. I think this is the last round Artic wins though, because he'll have to get through BC Cougar, Arg, or Flint. (depending on how other heats turn out)  I cannot say that he is more fail than any of those other finalists.

> These odds are only partially based on current heats... for example, Arganon is a fan favorite so Naci's odds are
reduced due to the current heat. But Naci is still pretty fail so that he doesn't get standard 1000 to 1 odds like say.... Torqez vs Arganon. Odds represent current overall chance to win the whole thing. This failcup PvC is just based off of my own personal experiences, and on my opinion.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Group 1

Arganon vs. Nacirema

Arganon's odds: 2 to 1
Nacirema's odds: 35 to 1

Naci is fail, but Arganon is the favorite to win it all. If you don't see why, try and attack him, or read his forum posts about IA in forums, or just read his signature!  Therefore Naci's odds of failure based success are greatly reduced.


Group 2

BC Cougar vs. Noir Calvary

BC Cougar's odds: 3 to 1
Noir's odds: 25 to 1

Noir got axed in SDss, and has had a so-so track record as of late, and we cannot forget the toystory fiasco of
ICPG! but BC Cougar is the defending champ and odds of him going far are very good.

Group 3

Artic vs. Hardcore4eva

Artic's odds: 4 to 1
Hc4e's odds: 80 to 1

HC4e really only fails because of his ego and because he is hard to get along with, but he is a talented player,
despite his family's collapse in MW this round.   Artic is a sore loser and fails nearly every round. While not as
bad as some other on this list, odds for him to win it all are decent.


Group 4

Flint vs. Whiteshadow

Flint's odds: 6 to 1
WS's odds: 15 to 1

While WS does envoke anger with his boasting and trolling on forums, he is not fail within fam, this lessens his
odds of success, also, despite his big mouth, he has won a few rounds and usually does well, this is partially due
to him being a win joiner, but Flint is 1) one of those republicans who actually thinks Obama is a muslim, 2)
he is terrible at this game and3) he boasts about flint jumps, which stopped being relevant like.... 8 years ago?
Flint should make the quarter finals with ease.


Group 5

Big Gary vs. Emohotpocket

Emo's odds: 40 to 1
Gary's odds: 2 to 1

Okay, it's hard to rate myself, yes i do stupid things at times, but I have also won several rounds over the years,
and i usually try, i may rage at times, and i am easily trollable... but i actually do back up my words 90% of the
time,  Big Gary on the other hand is a racist, a spammer, a loser, a psychopath, a multi, a cheater in general,
banned from the game, and butt buddies with Mark aka Anubis. As a result,  he will be a semi-finalist with ease. He
is one of the games most deranged players of all time. Against most ppl my odds would be 20 to 1... but it's Big
Gary so only troll votes can advance me past this heat. ofc, never underestimate the power of trolling!


Group 6

Tryme vs. HydroP

Tryme's odds: 10 to 1
HydroP's odds: 20 to 1


I have to confess, Tryme is a player that i have never played with nor have i played against. but i do hear many
things about Tryme, apparently he is failriffic. but... HydroP is WS's son... Ppl dislike WS and Hydro P has not
had the success of his father, so he may pass the first heat, i have not played or talked with HydroP either, but i
have heard Tryme is more fail. hence the odds.

Group 7

Lee vs. Tia

Tia's odds: 20 to 1
Lee's odds: 7 to 1

Lee is a whiner and a deleter, his family always fails and it's almost always lee's fault. i have only talked to
Tia a few times but she seems normal enough, Lee is going to pass this heat with ease, and should reach the round
after that easily unless he goes up against someone like Big Gary. Lee will make it to the round of sixteen without
much trouble depending on pairings.


Group 8

Jets vs. Torqez

Jets' odds: 4 to 1
Torqez's odds: 15 to 1

Torqez abused mod powers to cheat, got caught and left the game for about a year. Worst of all, he didn't even
cheat properly! If you're going to cheat, do something worth getting de-modded for! however, Torqez is also a
skilled player and a decent attacker who has won several rounds before. This means he will not pass this first
round unless via troll votes. Jets on the other hand should at least make the quarter finals. As someone who rates
other players often and claims to be a good player, no one would ever know, he frequently creates a family, does
nothing with it, shows his ineptitude with a week of activity, and then gets deleted by the server after not
logging in. And someone has to rescue his fam and Jets looks goodish by proxy. However, Jets is top 10 bad players
of all time.


Group 9

Woodchucks vs. Parrot

Woodchuck's odds:  20 to 1
Parrot's odds:      1000 to 1

Who the hell is woodchuck? I gave him standard 20 to 1 odds cause i have never heard of him before. Parrot wins
every round, only time he has failed was ICPG3, while it was a spectacular fail, and while he is campaigning for
failcup votes because he wants free prizes. His only real failure will be at failcup, he is too successful for his
own good.



Group 10


Melvin vs. Dragonsup

Melvin's odds: 9 to 1
Dragonsup's odds: 20 to 1

Dragonsup hasn't been relevant since 2004... however, he hasn't failed hardcore either... Melvin fails at the
English language, fails at getting laid, fails at IC. While Melvin is like-able, he is still fail. But imo, he won't get past the quarter
finals barring a major upset.


Group 11

Baratheon vs. Zicht0pZichter/ZoZ

Bara's odds: 9 to 1
ZoZ's odds: 14 to 1

Baratheon sucks hardcore, but is really on par with Melvin... he is a dumbass in irc, but then again so are a lot
of ppl, ZoZ is french, so that will hurt him, but he doesnt fail enough to pass many heats. Both are quite fail,
but neither will make it to the quarters as the depth chart for fail is quite deep in 2011.

Group 12

Luster vs. Lexuzis

Luster's odds: 8 to 1
Lex's odds: 9 to 1

Lex is an inactive boob who sells out his allies at any chance, but he does succeed at diplo when he bothers to log
in, and he is actually pretty funny. Luster is a fail attacker and many ppl will vote for Luster, however, these
odds are mostly based on the fact ppl give him a hard time more than anything else. I think Luster has the edge in
the first heat, but not by much, a real tossup, and then who knows. the winner of this heat could go far... Luster
is very fail, but not as bad as he is made out to be. Same with Lex. Still, i think they'll get through several
rounds unless paired with Arganon or something...

Group 13

Lew Lew vs. Elrohir

Lew Lew's odds: 7 to 1
Elro's odds: 25 to 1



I drafted Lew Lew in ICPG2, he then tried to hijack my draft from there on, then offered to run
infra, then after 24 hours he went inactive, he kept logging in and making e ships, pretending like he would get
active, but he secretly told Parrot he would refuse to play for anyone but him. Lew Lew is a huge PoS, he is also
LT which strikes against him as they are a known pack of cheaters... however when Lew decides he will actually try,
like in SDss, he can do well. Most people don't realize how fail Lew Lew is... but he should easily reach the
quarter finals.   Elro is decent, he has been inactive recently, i guess rl got in the way. He is failish.... not
really fail. He may get past the first round on trolls, but will not go far. the only thing keeping Lew out of the
semi-finals is that Lew's failure is not as public as someone like Artic's...



Group 14

Glue vs. Polder

Polder's odds: 10 to 1
Glue's odds: 6 to 1

Who is Polder?  the name sounds like fail... but never heard of him. I think i actually heard in nominations that
he was really fail... attacked allies or something?  Glue is also a huge fail... I would say Glue could make
quarters with ease. He rages hard, and is a dick to ppl on forums. Unlike most ppl who rage on forums, he is also
usually an ass in family as well. he has refused to play with ppl and gone rogue against the likes of Cloud and
Noir.   he is really very useless. he is okay when playing with people he likes... but I think most failcup voters
will underestimate the fail level of Glue. With that said, Glue actually does know how to play the game well if u
can tolerate his BS. hence why his odds are not even lower.


Group 15

Joor vs. Nolio


Nolio's odds: 11 to 1
Jooooor's odds: 14 to 1

Nolio apparently is good when he tries.... but he rarely does that, instead he sits in mirc being inactive and
whining about how others are so much more fail than him. and i mean.... in Nolio's mind 99% of the IC community is
not worth two sh*ts. Yet he never does much himself. Joooor, is actually a good guy, but usually inactive.   he
doesnt really play ftw anymore. he just idles in crap fams, but he never deletes and he always tries to help his
fam. Both do fail pretty hard, but given the talent pool for fail this year, neither will advance past the first
couple rounds unless there is a decently sized upset.


Group 16

Colorado vs. Happy Jedi

Colorado's odds: 12 to 1
HJ's odds: 8 to 1

HJ is fail, so is Colo. Colorado is a nice guy but always makes stupid mistakes and does weird crap as leader, i
have seen it first hand. He is by no means an elite attacker, but he has gotten lucky and won a few rounds.  He
usually does well to start and then fam gets pwned... however his niceness and occasional success override his
failures. HJ on the other hand is not very good from what i have heard. altho i have never played in the same fam,
so this is mostly hearsay.

Group 17

Rain vs. KT

Rain's odds: 6 to 1
KT's odds: 19 to 1

As Parrot would say, KT fails because she is a girl, lol. otherwise she is a good banker and pretty active. She
rolls with Parrot and T, and is one of the more active mods... she goes overboard sometimes and is easily trolled
and too strict at times... she also needs to loosen up just a tad when it comes to humor, but she is actually
pretty redeemable. Rain is a NAP breaker, a farmer, a mediocre attacker at best, often inactive, and intentionally
does stupid crap, he also spams the forums... Rain is underrated in his fail levels, he is a good candidate to go
far!

Group 18

Aleph vs. Crazyone

Aleph's odds: 4 to 1
Crazyone's odds: 8 to 1

So much fail in one heat! idk what to say....  either can go far, but i think Aleph is a fan favorite. his lack of
english and just bizarre posts also give him high failure credentials.  crazyone is a very poor attacker.  but i
think his fail is trumped by Aleph's tendency to be Aleph.


Group 19

IC Death vs. Ocho

Ocho's odds: 60 to 1
ICD's odds: 3 to 1

Ocho lets Artic bang his sister, this cannot go overlooked. however... IC Death will knock out Ocho in the first
round, so Ocho's odds are very poor. IC Death is curse for any family he joins. Certainly that increases his fail cup chances!

Group 20

Undeath vs. Killas

UD's odds: 6 to 1
Killas' odds: 10 to 1

SO MUCH DAIL!   I would've said fail, but seeing all the fail above me in this heat made me fail at typing English.  Killas is actually a decent Partax tho, while UD is a fat sack of inactive crap... hence why Killas wont pass the first round barring a major upset.


Group 21

Elbe vs. Sol Invictus

Elbe's odds: 2 to 1
Sol's odds: 14 to 1

hmmmmm, tough call, a known NAP Breaker in Sol invictus? or Elbe who was several times Worst Draft LMAO and
multiple time NAP breaker... Sol invictus also doesn't know how to vote in failcup... but, Elbe trumps this by
destroying his own family with multiple NAP Breaks in ICPG3, he is also just pretty worthless in general and a dark
horse to win it all! Both are fail, and both should advance, but only one of them can.  At least when Sol Invictus
broke NAP his family didnt completely disintegrate. Elbe is just a useless pos...... So Elbe takes this heat with
ease, and will move on to the quarter-finals if not the finals themselves!!!

Group 22

Skoe vs. Adrius Avangion

Skoe's odds: 5 to 1
AA's odds: 13 to 1

Given the amount of food AA eats we are pretty sure he has worms irl, pretty fail. He also plays magic the
gathering, so we know he will never get laid again... and he has a bad track record of leaving fams... but... Skoe
is Skoe... Enough said.

Group 23

Lynns vs. Amar/Arianna


Lynns' odds: 5 to 1
Amar's odds: 9 to 1


Lynns is really bad, but Amar is overrated as well. I think Amar could actually be decent with some training...
just not as leader.  He has won in PW but... it's PW... lol. Also he was in my fam last round when we won PW
together, he wasn't much of a factor at all, but perhaps this is because he was on holiday in the middle of it. He
was fail at MW the round before in my family though, and made me want to go inactive tbh....  Again, he isn't
horrible, but certianly not as good as he probably thinks he is. His biggest downside is he is useless at leading.
But actually, Lynns wins this heat with ease though. I would play with Amar again so long as he is a rezzy or Pax
that had nothing to do with planning infra or wars... But Lynns is an OCD freak who will actually set ur family
back several days because of her obsession with numbers.

Group 24

Destroyyoutoo vs. Kollup

DYT's odds: 17 to 1
Kollup's odds: 12 to 1


DYT has been inactive recently, he is in college and gets laid a lot from what i hear. so i cannot get hold that
against him, it's like trying to blame Damaris when he fails because he was out partying at the bar all night, he
was fairly useless when i drafted DYT in ICPG, but he warned me ahead of time and was still a thousand times better
than Lew Lew. Also, he kicked the crap out of my family when i was banking against him in SD 4 man. Devin (DYT) is
actually pretty good though when he decides to be, and even in small families he can hold his own. If i knew DYT
were actually going to be active, i would draft him in a heartbeat. he is real life friends with UD and has been
inactive before so he cannot get the standard 20 to 1 odds play for avg players. Kollup has never done anything
great when i have been around, and he has done some pretty fails things i have heard of. I've also raided him with
ease before... so he should pass first heat unless ppl pick DYT as a troll.


Group 25

Glennie Pennies vs. Pitbull

GP's odds: 15 to 1
Pitbull's odds: 25 to 1

Who the hell is glennie penis? who is this guy? lol is this Glennvw?? I never heard of him so he must have not done
much either fail or success wise.  But if u don't succeed you fail. Pitbull is actually pretty decent despite a
seeming lack of personality... he'll be out by first round i would assume.



Group 26

Fygaro vs. Scorpion/Big Texas

Fygaro's odds: 25 to 1
Scorp's odds: 11 to 1


Fygaro is a member of LT, which is a sticking point, but Fygaro is better than scorp, a decent guy, and unlike Lew
Lew  will play with ppl he doesn't know. Not to mention he is pretty active and enjoyable to play with. Scorp is a
fail attacker who has big success but that seems to be based on who he is playing with. Obviously he can't be
penalized for succeeding in big fams, but the level of fail outside of big fams, and his easy trollability count
against him.



Group 27

Linda vs. Brom

Linda's odds: 20 to 1
Brom's odds: 20 to 1

whom vs whom? idk either of these players well nor do i care... neither will win the failcup cause i have never
even heard of them before. they certainly fail at making a name for themselves.


Group 28

Damon vs. Poley

Damon's odds: 14 to 1
Poley's odds: 15 to 1

More people i don't know well enough. I have heard terrible things about both. I heard Damon is more fail than
poley... but Poley seems like fail from his forum posts... Neither will do much this fail cup, but i have heard
Damon may have the fail talents to get past the first couple heats.


Group 29

Britlock vs. Arby3

Arby3's odds: 9 to 1
Britlock's odds: 15 to 1

I havent heard of Britlock in years. he is still playing? I think i last saw him in 2003... lol. Arby3 continued to
support a NAP breaker in his family last round in PW, rather than mark him rogue like a normal person. for this
Arby should go far. the NAP break was well documented and given wide attention, but ppl have a short memory and
Arby3 wasnt directly responsible. For this he may get out when paired against someone of equal fail. Britlock
doesnt get standard 20 to 1 because obviously he is very inactive or else i would've heard of his existence
sometime in the last 8 years.


Group 30

Archangel vs. Khorinus

Arch's odds: 15 to 1
Khorfagis's odds: 10 to 1

Khorinis is not great, but he can hold his own at times... I don't know about Archangel much. Khorinis is not as
good as he might think he is though. I feel like he might be an okay player in family but he is a douche in forums, and
unlike WS doesnt have enough skills to back it up.

Group 31

Monkeywrench vs. Tymo

Monkeywrench: 11 to 1
TYMO: 11 to 1


Both are fail... in very different ways. Monkey wrench simply isn't a very good player, TYMO can have moments of
brilliance and but is a whiney SOB, and has a huge ego, he is a good attacker tbh, but not worth the trouble. put
someone like him with someone like glue in your family and expect your family to collapse within a week. TYMO can
capture you planets, unless Third rock pwns him in SDss. lol   But anyways despite his ability to get captures, he
is by no means invincible and will get a high fail rating due to his attitude more than his ability. Monkeywrench
is less skilled, so it's tough to say which will go farther... but TYMO is a household name, so he may get past a
few heats based on his fame.

Group 32

Rizzy vs. Mizzle

Rizzy's odds: 18 to 1
Mizzle's odds: 18 to 1

Rizzy is good when he doesnt go inactive. He is just too unreliable. If rizzy randomed in and was going to be
active i would be really excited about my odds to win the round... but i wouldn't waste a draft spot on him because
he is just too unpredictable. Mizzle is not a great attacker or a great mod, he is a nice guy tho and can be a
useful retaker though. Sometimes he does worthwhile stuff. Neither will go far in fail cup and tbh the last time
Rizzy flaked out was when he went through a personal tragedy. (thought he has flaked other times) So it's hard to
hate on Rizzy too much. I think Mizzle get through to the second round, but neither fail hard enough to make some
noise.

Group 33

Bitcannon vs. TheBigOne

Bcannon's odds: 20 to 1
TBO's odds: 9 to 1


Idk who bitcannon is... his name sounds fail... but...
TBO has killed his own family off several times, and seems like a dumbass. enough said. TBO could make quarter
finals if he campaigns for it.


Group 34

Flashy vs. Beware

Flashy's odds: 30 to 1
Beware's odds: 6 to 1

Flashy is funny and does fail in ways.... but he is amatuer at failing compared to Beware. Beware was always fail,
but one time in Capricorn he played well with myself, Torq, Fyg, KT, WS, and Evilrunt. that lineup sort of carried
him, but it was almost enough to make me think he was just misunderstood. i drafted him in ICPG 3. But then the
family had activity problems at start, i mentioned in HQ msg certain ppl had to step it up, then msged him in PM
telling him he needed to pull his weight, so he rage deleted. i then understood why everyone said Beware was a
useless pos.

Group 35

Acrid vs. Hellboy

Acrid's odds: 20 to 1
Hellboy's odds: 10 to 1 for a stupid name

Acrid won a few rounds right? so he is not really fail, and idk anything of him from forums or chat or fighting
with/against him... so he should be out first round i think. Who is hellboy? he sounds like a failtard. so he
should advance.

Group 36

Orbit vs. Smartz

Smartz's odds: 20 to 1
Orbit's odds: 25 to 1

Idk much about Smartz... but I heard he is decent? Orbit is a really talented player, but he has been inactive at
times and can be a dick also, he is one of PP's crew, so go figure. Orbit may pass a few heats, but like TYMO it's
because of attitude, not ability. smartz idk from a hole in the ground tbh, but i do recognize the name.I can't see
any of them winning the whole thing, even if they pass the heat, hence the unimpressive odds.



Group 37

Teddy vs. Serenity

Teddy's odds: 12 to 1
Serenity's odds: 6 to 1


Teddy is supposed to be good, but he really isn't as good as others have said he is, he is also a terrible whiner.
He is surely fail. Serenity is fail like Glue, if he dislikes u he'll delete and not think twice about it. he does
have talent though. I disliked Serenity greatly until he was in my family this round. i can safely say the he, like
WS is an ass on forums just to troll people, but he is actually pretty cool in family. Most people don't know that
though so they will vote him through here i think. Teddy is more fail in actuality, by a mile, but Serenity is
disliked so he will make it through a few rounds before he gets kicked out vs someone truly fail like Arganon.

Group 38

Cloud vs. Rising Down

Cloud's odds: 10 to 1
RD's odds: 5 to 1

Cloud has cheated before, although i am not sure if he was ever caught for it. I like cloud sort of though, RD i
only know from his family's collapse in PW last round. think 4902 vs 4903 if you don't know the name. Rising down
then proceeded to make up a billion BS excuses for why he wasnt to blame. i think he was actually the one who told
ICD to cut fleet, which was a death sentence for his family...

Group 39

Zarf Beeblebrix vs. Smaug

Zarf's odds: 16 to 1
Smaug's odds: 16 to 1

Zarf seems dumb from his forum posts but isn't notorious for his lack of skills, Smaug isn't good, but not
horrible...  Neither should get past the second round. Their odds are not going to be great. I have never played with or against
them, so others may have more insight but they don't seem like failcup champs tbh.

Group 40

Render vs. Tobias

Render's odds: 7 to 1
Tobias' odds: 6 to 1

Render is an alky and a moron, but i have only seen him on forums... so it's hard to say whether he sux in game as
well. if his strat is as coherent as his forum posts though... he should be a finalist in fail cup... however
Tobias is a retard who tries to brag like he is talented when in fact he is a moron that hits LTs quite often and
gets his fam farmed until his much bigger allies come to the rescue until they also fail. Tobias SHOULD win this
heat, but Render's drunkeness is much better documented than Tobias' in game failures. Tobias may get knocked out
in the first round due to this pairing, but against anyone with talent Tobias would be a shoe in to the 2nd heat.

Group 41

Gwynedd's odds: 5 to 1
Deci's odds: 5 to 1

Gwynedd vs. Decimus

Gwynedd lost his fmod when he hacked and spammed the forums, and he is a spy and a moron. he would normally advance
easily, but again, due to the pairing either could advance. Decimus if i remember is a moronic anti-american racist
from Finland who never actually does anything of signifcance in game. Gwynn is a cop in rl and they are usually
a**holes so it's hard to say which deserves to advance more. I give them both good odds. I think either is a dark
horse to reach the semi-finals.


Group 42

Metrex vs. The Unknown

Metrex's odds: 20 to 1
TU's odds: 5 to 1

Metrex only fails because he is always compared to Torqez, who is miles better... but Metrex can be useful in fam
and i would not kill him off upon arrival, so TU easily gets on to the next heat, and given his harassment of
female players, constant trolling, and uselessness as an actual player, he could make the quarter finals or
farther.


Group 43

Star99 vs. A-Team

A Team's odds: 18 to 1
Star99's odds: 15 to 1

I have never dealt with A Team. Star 99 is the 3rd and least impressive of the Torqez brothers, he isn't terrible
talent wise, and isn't a bad guy, just not terribly useful... as a result (unless A Team is incredibly
failtastic...) Star 99 should win at least 1 if not 2 heats.


Group 44

Proton vs. Barbados

Barbatos' odds: 20 to 1
Proton's odds: 11 to 1

I hear Proton is a moron, and Barbados is actually a really good banker and a friendly guy always looking to help,
when he doesn't get thrown in jail for being in a bar fight, lol. So Proton should advance with ease. I on't know
enough about him to say more. Depends who he faces in the second heat.


Group 45

Listos vs. Nai

Listos' odds: 18 to 1
Nai's odds: 13 to 1

Both are useless, but i think Nai really takes the cake here. A washed up former mod who likes to complain (much
like Nolio) I would expect Nai to advance past at least one round, if not several, Listos is just avg afaik.
nothing good or bad to say about him, i do remember raiding him in ICPG 1 or 2... but at any rate, he is not fail enough and he'll be gone by 2nd heat at the most...


Group 46

Nightwish vs. dpenguins

NW's odds: 300 to 1
depenguins' odds: 20 to 1

NW is blunt and all, but he has the talent to back it up, idk why he is really even on this list. he is abrasive so
some people dont like him, and he has a tendency to farm, but he is a really cool guy in fam and a very good leader
and attacker. If he tells you you're an idiot, it's probably because you are. No way NW will get past someone like
Arganon, etc. he has very poor odds to win it all unless ppl troll vote him through. Dpenguins is a cool guy, one
of the ppl who is cool to talk to in irc, but idk how useful he would actually be in game. but my lack of personal
experience with him shouldn't count against him here.


Group 47

Portgas vs. flipmode

Portgas' odds: 12 to 1
flip's odds: 12 to 1

both of them fail, in different ways... Portgas probably should advance, both could go deep, but i think both will
be out no later than the quarter finals. Portgas thinks he is really good tho, when in fact he never does anything
overly impressive. still they are both amusing so it's hard to hate on either.


Group 48

WC's odds: 16 to 1
TR's odds: 14 to 1

Walking_Corpse vs. Thirdrock

Walking Corpse is a mod, and therefore inactive... oh wait, Turd rock is also a mod and even more inactive. based
on activity levels alone, TR advances. Sadly TR can actually play the game though, so he won't get past the 2nd
round unless paired with another upset.


Group 49

Deathwatch vs. Snowy

DW's odds: 5 to 1
Snowy's odds: 8 to 1

Wow, one heat with so much failure. DW is a moron and a megalomaniac. He is a deleter, and a bad player who could
easily go rogue, i can't blame anyone for voting him into round 2. I voted Snowy due to his 4 man SD performance
where he beat up noobies until Kawaii slaughtered him and he went mostly inactive. I like Snowy though, he would
make a decent 3rd or 4th string attacker if he was in a good family. I personally am disappointed with Snowy's
effort, but i think the overall consensus should be that DW is failtastic. DW will get to the quarter finals unless
people are completely stupid...


Group 50

Ricking vs. Primo


Ricking's odds: 14 to 1
Primo's odds: 14 to 1

Primo should've been de-modded over a year ago, he doesn't seem terribly active, either as moderator or as player.
RICKING is fail, but not as badly as Primo. Neither have any chance to win the whole thing. But I think Primo could
go farther if he gets past the first round. It all depends on his pairing. If he gets paired with someone like...
TR, he'll advance. Otherwise neither will go far.


**Tag Points Earned**



My goddness , what a post tongue Propps for that. But he forgets great players still. sad

waste, the legacy of mankind.

Re: Failcup PvC: With Complete Odds & Analysis!!

lol, that was a very long quote, and buried last pvc. but oh well. interest in failcup pvcs seem to be dying.

I will tell you guys though, my prediction for the final match up.

Big Gary vs Arganon. you've heard it here first.  (ofcourse Nooblio's dumb seeding will probably not allow for that matchup in the finals.)
