The Feud: If I Were King... by 42fish (game over)

The Game Room
1

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 your 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!

  11. Thought about Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands.

  12. Thought about The Madness of King George (aka The Madness of George III, the third sequel in the popular The Madness of George series). As I typed this, The Last Emperor sprang to mind. The real answer will probably be a major :smack: once I see it.

  13. Considering the movie the quote comes from

  14. True. Also, likely to be somewhat popular, and I really don’t have a good handle on who people are currently annoyed by. Paris Hilton? Lindsey Lohan? Martha Stewart might be a hardy perennial.

  15. Also true, also likely to be popular. Some people might quibble about “name”; we’ll see.

ETA: Doh. Alexander.
