[QUOTE=MaxTheVool] I actually would like to run a round, and in fact have one all ready to go. Any objections? [/QUOTE] Not from me! Seriously – I think anyone who’s willing to do the scoring is welcome to run one. ---

Agreed. Hop in! ---

[QUOTE=twickster] Not from me! Seriously – I think anyone who’s willing to do the scoring is welcome to run one. [/QUOTE] Agreed. Scoring this thing is a bitch and I’d love to run another one but I need time to decompress from the last one I did. ---

[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] I’m just a little amused that two people said Seattle for that one. I’d be happy to run another of these, by the way, but probably not for a few days. Two things I’d consider: no points for “pass,” and letting the contest run for 100 responses/48 hours. Thoughts? [/QUOTE] (Assuming you run one again after MaxTheVool’s, which I will look forward to) I think there should not be any points for a pass, just as an unanswered “Pass” would get zero on the show. I don’t really have any opinion about the length of time or number of responses. I mean, I suppose the more responses you take in, the more interesting the answers may be, so that’s a plus. Hopefully you can get that many folks to respond in two days’ time! ---

FTR, my idea in counting “pass” for points in Trivial Feud was that the questions there are _supposed_ to be challenging in a different way, and that when answering any given question you have to take into account just how many MPSIMSites will actually give an answer; I figured I might as well reward people for doing it right. I actually agree with “pass” not being worth anything in the lighter, fluffier Family Feud threads–though I’m not sure I get the point of passing then; all of the Family Feud-type questions have at least one easy answer, so why not throw that one out there and hope for the best? Just my two cents. ---

FTR, I think points for passing makes sense in Trivial Feud, but not Family. In the former, it’s really a bet that other people won’t know the answer. ---

[QUOTE=Really Not All That Bright] What, you think New York actually has decent public transportation? [/QUOTE] By North American standards, no. It has PHENOMENAL public transportation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/family-feud-x/432243.md?page=5)
