UKSF World Cup 2010 PredictoCompo
Mister M
the upcoming World Cup in Serth Iffrica is failing to cause even the
faintest of stirrings in my nether regions. There's only one way to fix
that - a UKSF PredictoCompo! Woah, yeah, now THAT'S what I call a 1.2cm
chubby!
So, here we have it. The rules are very simple. The scoring system
isn't, mainly coz I haven't dreamed it up yet. For each of the teams
(listed below in the their first-round groups), please state what their
final result will be, using the following mind-bendingly complex code:
1 - Teh Winnerzzzzz!!1111
2 - Runners-up (aka Teh Looserz)
3 - Winners of the Turd Place playoff
4 - Looserz of the Turd Place playoff
QF - Losing quarter-finalist (you should have 4 of these)
16 - Losers in the Round Of Teh Sweet Sixteen (you should have 8 of these)
FR - Muppets who didn't progress beyond teh Group Stage (you should have
16 of these)
Make your selection for all of the teams now, and you will NOT be
allowed to change it part way through teh tournament. Mainly coz that
would make it Too Fecking Hard for yours truly to keep up with it. This
is a one-shot deal, a fire-and-forget if you will, just like Joe's lovelife.
There will be the usual prize for the winner.
The teamz:
Group A:
France
Mexico
South Africa
Uruguay
Group B:
Argentina
Greece
Nigeria
South Korea
Group C:
Algeria
England

No, see, the organiser's decision is final, if they decide that they want to
change the rules mid-competition becuase they don't want you to win, that is
covered by this rule. What you don't seem to realise is that no-one really
gives that much of a fuck about whether you win or not to /bother/ changing
the rules to make it anti-nigel. Apart from now you've made a point about
it, of course, so it's obligatory to do it now.

Tell you what, I'll post mine without looking at the fixtures, and I'll have
a side bet with you that I do better than you, no matter how much research
you do. 10 quid to the winner's choice of charity?

That's good. I want to support this competition (and SBL next season)
but I don't want to waste time on it if it's not going to be fair.

No. I don't mind betting against bookies (did alright this weekend) but
I never ever bet against friends(?) for money.
Joe and I had a sort of bet that Rooney wouldn't get 30 league goals
this season. As it turned out he didn't deserve to lose and I wouldn't
have wanted him to lose money as a result of Rooney's unfortunate
injury. Unless his full name was Joe Paddy-Power.

That's silly. It adds interest and competitiveness. I'd much rather my
money came or went to someone I knew instead of an anonymous bookie

But this won't be fair or unfair, it will be based on yours or my own
prediction power, not the ability of Mr Potato Head to kick a ball and the
(sir) drunken scotsman's mind games.

you to win. The only reason I will change the rules is if I've forgotten
something, or if I suddenly realise that doing it the way I'd planned to
do it will make life supremely difficult for me. As I am a genius,
neither of these circumstances is likely to occur.

Hmmm.. I remember offering that bet, but I can't remember if you accepted
it or not. If you did, though, I'd definitely want to pay up. Cunts who
don't pay their debts are cunts.

I don't think a formal bet was actually made/accepted, but I would
certainly not have gambled any money on it with you.
That reminds me, after Leon Best moved from a free-scoring struggling
team to a low-scoring high-achieving team, did he actually score another
league goal? I know Ben's bet failed and the Championship's top
scorer(s) were Whittingham and Maynard on a relatively paltry 20
(actually a good achievement by Whittingham since he's not a central
striker).

I see taking money from bookies as a 'victimless crime', except that
it's not a crime. If I take money from friends, that's less they've got
to buy me drinks with. :)

I've looked at your entry and it seems quite strong to me. I've decided
on my tictacs, I just haven't had the time to work through the fixtures
yet. I'm going to submit an entry which IMO is more likely to win the
competition than yours, but simultaneously likely to finish lower than
yours.

That result is physically possible and generated using CJM's spreadsheet
(thanks!). Yes, I did take longer than Conlan, but probably not much.
<boringstuff>
The prediction is somewhat different to my finger-in-the-air first-cut,
which had Italy and Germany as the finalists. Most people will
justifiably pick Spain or possibly Brazil as the winners. I think
Italian and German footie is at the start of a renaissance, and although
the tournament is probably a couple of years too early for them, if my
theory about the Spanish team starting to get over the hill with
over-familiar tactics is correct, they perhaps represent the best chance
amongst the outsiders. I think conditions for the closing stages will
best suit European teams rather than South American.

Oh, that's odd, I intended to keep the attribution line in, but it seems to

Yeah, right-wing reactionary Gay Nigel in discrimination shocker. He

Unless there's a sudden flood of late entries, I calculate that by
bribing Cornelius with the money you won off Ben at poker you are both
more likely to finish higher than me and more likely to win the
competition than me :)

No, we were merely asked to refrain from horsecocking the other residents.
Ben, to his credit, refused.

Ben was underwhelmed of course, but that's his problem.

Actually, I think you may find that that is all our problem.

For those mystified by this assertion I will pretend to be intelligent.
Mister M's IP Address appears to place him in New Zealand.
So although my newsreader claims Mikey posted his entry at 1.33 pm on
the 4th, to someone standing the wrong way up he will appear to have
posted perhaps 12 hours later.

Might I suggest using South African time, which is 1 hour ahead of the
UK and ten hours behind Wellington if my calculations are correct?

I can't understand why Google jettisoned the Deja interface - it was
simple to use and WORKED!

Fair enough. Why is the date tonight rather than start of the first match,
out of interest?
Mister M
Just because. Anyone suggesting that it was an arbitrary date plucked
out of Ben's arses to be annoying would be entirely correct.

You know what I think? I think it was an arbitrary date plucked out of Ben's
arses to be annoying.
I'm almost convinced of it.
nigel
It was reported here that New Zealand was stuffed up Ben's arses and
Mister M's IP Address appears to emanate from New Zealand so that is
indeed the case.

The day UKSF operates according to New Zealand time,
Martin, is the day that Ben Nunn forms a loving, meaningful
relationship with someone who loves him back.

So, according to New Zealand time, we've still got about 36 hours or so
to get our picks in, yeh?
