Anyway Astorian was the last to post before the deadline.

5 time champ at your service

Awesome feud, thanks 5 time champ!

And a grand thank you for the outlaw services provided!

Most appreciated, even though my limited knowledge was my falling :frowning:

(but I did score just out of Nazgul-territory)

I seem to be pretty consistently good at sucking at these games… When are we going to have a game where you try to get answers that other people don’t get? I’ll bet I would be good at that.

And just to nitpick, I count five answers of “The Prancing Pony” for #9, if we count Euphonious Polemic’s answer of “the pub in Bree”. Which we probably should, given that we’re also counting things like “Narsil” and “Anduril” as the same. I don’t think that changes any of the rankings, though.

Great Feud, 5 time champ! Thanks for running it.

I, as usual, came in right in the middle of the pack.

I’m gonna run the Obama Inauguration Feud in the morning. Today’s week should be much less hectic, with my engineer being out of town, and work slowing down a bit.

Chronos, I think we did have an anti-Feud once upon a time. I’m too lazy to look for it though… :smiley:

Wow. I got 7 number-one answers, two number two, and one number three, and finished…

26th?

I guess I really just can’t win.

Talk about the Work of Mordor- I think I screwed up one of the sorts, Let me recalculate.

  1. Narsil/Andúril
  2. Sauron
  3. The Shire
  4. Orthanc (Saruman’s Tower)
  5. Elessar
  6. Manwë
  7. Nenya
  8. Eowyn
  9. The Prancing Pony
  10. Brandybuck

Bonus question: Eru, Himself, could not have done a better job

Yeah, my score seems high. I’m too lazy to calculate what it should be, though.

Fool of a Took! :smack: I mistakenly scrambled the data whilst sorting.

Upon further review, our true and rightful winner is Mrs Cake! 10 for 10. Praise her with Great Praise!

31 WormTheRed 261.3

I like this second list better.

Why?

  1. My score is nearly 60 points higher.

  2. I’m 9th, not 19th.

This is one of my best ever scores. Go me!

Thanks for the feud, oh quintuple title winner…

You can check my work here, if I have linked the Excel file properly.

Heh, I thought my #4 placing was too good to be true!

Well, that’s better.

I thought at first that my choice of Sting over Narsil was my (massive) downfall. I didn’t really think you had miscalculated.

(What kills me is that I almost went with Narsil, Gondor, and Manwë.)

Forget someone?

Sheesh! I’ve come in last before, but never forgotten…

What? Did I forget to take the ring off again?

:wink:

(I kid, I kid. Just blame it on the goblins. My sword is blowing glue, or something…)

Don’t you have the Feud scoring program written by Mullinator?

I’d be happy to send it to you!

From third to twentieth, what an ignominious fall!

Up to 11th - woohoo! Great Feud; thanks!
