notfrommensa should have the last pick. It would be cool if he came in tenth or so.

Obviously, this feud was a bust as few care about ME. I will put an entry as the definitive answers. But I don’t think it will be in the top 10%.
After cursory glance at the answers says that all the definitive answers have been chosen at least once. I am surprised to learn that Arkansas is considered a Mid-Atlantic State. And serveral people think my Dad actually frequently ate breakfast with Tricky Dick. And Savannah and Jacksonville are southern State Capitals.
I think only one posters has four definitive answers correct. Which is about what I expected.

Note: Like many others, I suppose I could have researched past posts, but I decided to take my best guess. Hey, it’s a Feud–regardless of the correct answers, maybe I’ll hit the popular answers.
ETA: Or maybe not.

Ah, but we count matches. Your answers may suck feudwise.

OK, Finally got going this morning after some bad storms in Missourilast night. here are the definitive answers
1. Missouri
2. Cayman Islands
3. Atlanta
4. Mark Felt aka Deep Throat
5. Quebec
6. New York
7. Rhode Island
8. Ga Tech
9. Pontiac
10. Miller Lite
Some Comments:
1. I thought we some of my east coast centric questions that someone might answer Delaware or Connecticut No one fell into that trap. I have posted my home state several time so researched could have helped
2. Cayman Islands, I thought this answer would have no matches but someone got it
3. Atlanta, I think I have posted this before. FTR, Atlanta had a big FBI office so I thought some might get a clue from the FBI agent reference.
4. yep, My Dad worked in DC in the late 60’s and dined with Mark Felt for breakfast about once a week. My parents even went to party in his house. Dad never knew for sure that Felt was Deep Throat but he was on his short list.
5. Since my Dad was born in New England, I thought more people might answer Quebec. My Mom was literally born on the border between Quebec and Vermont. At the Canadian Customs house, from Vermont to Quebec.
6. New York is on the fringe of a Mid-Atlantic State so I didn’t think it would get too many matches. I thought Pennsylvania would be selected the most.
7. Dad was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This might have been a trick question for those that researched my posts because I have mentioned that my Dad summers in Vermont, and in fact grew up just a few miles from Canada
8. Ga Tech, Research into my posts would have definitely helped on this question
9. Pontiac, a future dinosaur
10. Miller Lite. The one person that matched actually said the way I order it. Lite Beer from Miller.
I have scoring up in a while. A probably a new found respect for DOLO, or resident feud mistress.

I scored this slightly different that DOLO does. Including me, there was only 25 respondents, If you came up with an answer that met the criteria, but no matches, it counted as a match and it was doubled (actually quadrupled because of 25 people played). If you came up with the definitive answer, its answer was multiplied by 8.
My resident stalker 😃 is **MadtheSwine** because he seems to know a lot about me. Getting 7 of the definitive answers, but he didn’t match many of the most popular answers. Of course, I matched all the definitive answer and I would have been 3rd. :dubious:
But the winner of the feud, who is only casually stalking me with three definitive answers, but mtaching 8 of the most popular answer with 444 points is **HookerChemical**. Trumpets blowing, and fanfare.
I hope everyone had fun. I did. And I have much more respect for DOLO REBO, the grand feud Mistress. This was tough and I am very good at spreadsheets.

I came in second place? Seriously? I saw the answers and I figured I wasn’t even going to be in the top half. I must have hit a great fluke combination of popular guesses with lucky right answers.

Yep, seriously, I think you had six of the most popular answers, but only two “definitive” answers.
MadtheSwine had 7 definitive answers but two of them were Cayman Islands and New York which were only matched by me, and not worth very many points.

I’ve played a lot of these feuds and I’ve learned to read my relative ranking by a quick scan of the answers. I’ve learned from experience that even one bad answer can knock you out of the top ten and I could see I had more than that here.
