I just love these and this is my proudest moment! Best I’ve ever done! Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks so much Dolores. ---

Thank you, Dolores. I can’t believe I made it to fourth place! Just a suggestion - if it is taking too long to get the requisite fifty participants why not make it twenty-five instead? Twenty-five players had posted on the very same day that you started this Feud. Quicker turnover may get noticed more and increase participation so that it could eventually go back to fifty. ---

> [@bibliophage](#): > > Either that’s left over from a previous feud, or a third of our posters are secretly Godzilla. Yes, it was leftover, but didn’t get counted. I need to proofread a bit more! If others want me to stop at 25, I could do that, but I think more people playing is more fun - plus gives people more time to notice it and play. Being late is no fun (ask Swampy! 😉 ) and with only 25 a lot of players will be disappointed. Thoughts? ---

Twenty-five players had posted on the very same day that you started this Feud. Quicker turnover may get noticed more and increase participation so that it could eventually go back to fifty. Assuming I found it in time, that would get my score out of the high forties. And thanks, Dolores. ---

But I also don’t have a problem with setting a time limit and scoring what you have if we haven’t reached 50 players within a reasonable amount of time. ---

I also say keep it at 50. This one filled up in, what, 4 days? Quicker than the last couple. ---

Yes, keep it at 50, but immediately have the thread marked CLOSED when it is. > [@bibliophage](#): > > Either that’s left over from a previous feud, or a third of our posters are secretly Godzilla. Q: What did Mothra say to Godzilla? A: “Want to go eat someplace?” ---

Thanks Dolores, great game. Though is there anything more disappointing than being next to last? At least last has some distinction to it. ---

Ouch! I was late to the party - but scored my answers. I got an abysmal 103. 103! Whimper! Hope I’m on time next time. Then at least I’ll get a “1” instead of a “0” when I’m in my own world! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/return-of-the-feud-number-3-closed/824033.md?page=5)
