**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: No repeats allowed except for question #10.** What European Country would you go… 1. To Eat Good Food. 2. To Eat Bad Food. 3. To see great Art (paintings, sculptures). 4. To enjoy the beach. 5. For a Romantic Honeymoon. 6. To Party and get Drunk. 7. to go snow skiing. 8. Where the natives are very attractive to you. 9. to gamble. 10. to do as many of #1-9 as possible. (repeats allowed) ---

1. France 2. The UK 3. Italy 4. Greece 5. Spain 6. Netherlands 7. Switzerland 8. Sweden 9. Monaco 10. Italy 5 was hard because my first two choices were Italy and Greece, and I’d filled in 6 for Spain before reading the no-repeat rule. No. 8 is a guess at the most popular; myself, I’m more into the Med look. 2 is also a guess at the most popular; my own choice would be Germany. ETA: on reading the thread - how could I have forgotten Ireland for #6. Also, a big WTF on the people choosing Italy for 1 and France for 3. ---

Germany isn’t particularly romantic, but France was already used and I was running out of European countries, dammit. I thought of switching and using Germany for food – I do like sausage and beer – but that’d just be silly. ---

France Notes: 3,4: Since I’ve already used France and Italy 8: I don’t know how popular an answer it will be, but when I went to Ireland a few years ago, the lasses all seemed to range from “pretty cute” to “oh my God I’m going to go blind just from gazing on her beauty”. That “no repeats” rule makes this one pretty tough. ---
