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.

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

Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. 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.

_ **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 **4:30 PM Central** on Saturday, 8/02/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

1. Name a European capital.
2. Name a river in Europe.
3. Name a composer from Europe.
4. Name a former country in Europe (that is no more.)
5. Name a current country in Europe.
6. Name a war mostly fought in Europe.
7. Name a rock star from Europe.
8. Name a mountain in Europe.
9. Name an island in Europe.
10. Name a famous person from Europe.

Oh, man, I’m gonna be near the bottom on this one for sure.

I’m very disappointed that everyone’s taking the easy way out and naming British rock stars, rather than ones from the continent, which is a bit more tricky.
