After much waiting (lol) and anticipation, Heat 3 of the 2011 failcup is now underway. There will be a couple of things to note in this Heat though. Contestants have been ranked in seeds that will permanently determine the match ups from this point forward. This is based on differential of votes for this year and ranking during last year's. BC Cougar being the returning champion is the #1 seed to win it all followed by Flint at #2 who finished 3rd in last year's voting. Cougar will get a bye this round and will automatically advance to the next round.

(1) BC Cougar

- Known for coming up with some of the worst strategies since Einstein himself
(The IC one, not the smart one). He's also the 2010 champion who was so fail,
he didn't even claim his prize.

(2) Flint   

- Once threatened to commit suicide if anyone in MW cancelled on his fam. He then cancelled
on Lew Lew and the other LT's when they were 8 ranks smaller and almost half his size. He was raided for 300 planets.

(3) Arganon

- Once tried to overthrow h4e as leader because he thought our fam bank system wasn't work.
We were #1 in NW and size for 90% of the round.

(4) Undeath 

- Undeath has been on the modteam for several years. He has not been active in chat
or ingame since 2004.

(5) Glue

- In the first ICC, glue was drafted into a fam as their 7th player. He never logged on thus
causing them to lose. He later came around saying that it wasn't his fault they lost.

(6) Mizzle

- Mizzle was once killed off from his family after attempting to pass planets in pinwheel.

(7) Destroyyoutoo

- One of these is DYT. Does it matter who? http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs558.ash1/32515_1474207373080_1170540078_31380909_4647330_n.jpg

(8) Artic   

- artic was the main attacker for Moulondrax's latest round in MW when they cancelled nap on h4e's fam.
Despite having more fleet and more savings, artic managed to crash it in 2 ticks thus ending the war.

(9) Luster 

- Luster was once asked to clear Whiteshadow from his core in the last round of cap during ephase.
Whiteshadow had 7 planets portalling with 5 lasers on each. Luster managed to clear 2. He sent 3 fleets.

(10) Big Gary

- Was blocked every round for 5 rounds for multi/account sitting. He quit IC. Came back and was banned for harassment. Was given a 2nd chance
and was banned once again for threatening to kill KT in rl for blocking him for multi/account sitting.

(11) Jets 

- His greatest rivalry in IC history was against Metrex when Metrex was in his 2nd round of playing. Metrex has
since grown more popular than him.

(12) Listos             

- His greatest accomplishment in IC has been befriending KT in an attempt to be forum modded. Is still trying.

(13) IC Death

- Has lost every round he's ever played in since 2001. He's never retired from IC.

(14) Aleph

- With Tryme leading, Aleph in his noob round took fam bank and jumped fleet to kill Jets.
Aleph crashed and rebuilt his ground 4 times before tryme ultimately gave up planets for a nap. Aleph
is still doing the same thing.

(15) Elbe

- Elbe once caused his ICPG fam to lose after breaking multiple naps. He still admits to no wrongdoing.

(16) Nolio

- Once led an ICPG fam and made Flint/Einstein his first draft pick. He followed that up with artic.

(17) Happy Jedi

- His mother is better at IC than he is.

(18) Melvin         

- After numerous attempts at finding a gf, he managed to find a girl interested in him. He now can't figure out
how to get her to be his gf.

(19) Primo       

- Has posted roughly 8 threads retiring from IC and modship. He still mods but doesn't play IC.

(20) Render

- (no interesting stories come to mind)

(21) Flashy

- (no interesting stories come to mind)

(22) Gwynedd     

- 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.

(23) Serenity 

- (no interesting stories come to mind)
     
(24) TheBigOne           

- Once went hunting during deer season and shot himself in the leg loading his rifle.

                                                                                                                            
(25) dpenguins                   
             
- Married his wife in an attempt to sleep with her sister.
