**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below. **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: Don’t be too wordy.** 1. Who will be elected president in 2020? 2. Who will the US be at war with in the 2020s? 3. Name an issue from the 2000s that will have people in the 2020s wondering what the big deal was. 4. Assuming we’ve made it through peak oil, global warming and the Mayan calendar running out, name the big apocalyptic worry of the 2020s. 5. Name an example of Star Trek-type technology that we’ll have by the 2020s. 6. Name an artist whose appearance on oldies/classic rock radio in the 2020s will make you say, ‘Good God, I’m ancient!’ 7. Name a celebrity who will be continuing to frustrate Death Pool participants of the 2020s with his or her refusal to die already. 8. To the nearest 10%, what percentage of posts in ATMB will be asking ‘If we can put a colony on the moon, why can’t we get a faster server, dammit’? (Don’t use the % sign in your answer.) 9. After Green, name the second most popular brand in the Solyent product line of the 2020s. 10. Other than anything Star Trek related or Solyent Green, name a film set in the 2020s or later. ---

Interesting, **Kenner** … So you’re predicting that we’ll have replicators, but will nonetheless live in fear of the threat of food shortages? I guess the replicators don’t work very well, then. ---
