The flow of responses seems to have dried up. I’ll leave this one more day, and if we don’t have 50 responses by then, I’ll just multiply by 100/(number of responses) rather than by 2. ---

OK, I know when I’m licked. I obviously don’t have what it takes to fashion a feud game that attracts 50 responses. Instead of 2, the number of answers will be multiplied by 2.25, and rounded off to the nearest whole number. (BTW, the ties are actual exact ties, none created by rounding.) Final results: 1. Frosted Glass 327 2. Lamar Mundane 321 3. Enginerd 317 4. Paintcharge 316 5. fachverwirrt 315 6. Hawkeyeop 312 7. Yeticus Rex 302 8. pulykamell 298 9. RickJay 295 10. 5 time champ 294 11.
