**DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on The List.

_ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer \<\<—There is a space after the period!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **4:00 PM Central** on Monday, 10/13/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck! (Heh.)

1. Name an object that is considered a lucky charm.
2. Name an action that is supposed to bring you bad luck.
3. Name an act you can do to ward off bad luck.
4. Name a synonym for “lucky”.
5. Name a circumstance under which you’re supposed to make a wish.
6. Name a method of fortune telling.
7. Name a profession whose members have a reputation for being superstitious.
8. Name a lucky (high-ranking) poker hand.
9. Name a casino game.
10. Pick a card, any card.
