Well, not great, but not as bad as I expected, 20th out of 44. ---

Robin Goodfellow 1 Shouldn’t these be lumped together? I’m not going to complain about all the folks who gave his description instead of his name getting credit, but at least I shouldn’t be penalized for it. ---

Aw, I was hoping to get in the top half, being a Shakespeare fangirl. Still, better thn my usual trailing the bottom of the pack. But thanks again to the OP, the feuds are always good fun. ---

Many thanks for a fun feud, everyone! I’ll see if I can ever come up with a subject for a feud that gets the full fifty people… ---

Reading Julius Caesar in the 10th grade killed me in this feud. Brutus? Soothsayer? Julius Caesar? all led to 32nd spot. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Shouldn’t these be lumped together? I’m not going to complain about all the folks who gave his description instead of his name getting credit, but at least I shouldn’t be penalized for it. **Chronos** is right, Puck and Robin Godoodfellow are the same character. Even according to the rules set forth by **Minister**. He shouldn’t get hosed. ---

It’s a constant in the Feud that knowing too much about the subject will always hurt you. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > It’s a constant in the Feud that knowing too much about the subject will always hurt you. And being from a different country, too. I’m amazed at how we even communicate at times, given our utterly disparate frames of reference. Not so much Will here, but weird things like Girl Scout Cookies - which are Girl Guide Biscuits here and have a totally different range of flavours. Sports, I’m not much of a sports fan, but I know my Ritchie McCaws from my Paul Henares.
