**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! Special Rules for this particular Feud: #6 and #7 should be ONE WORD ONLY. More than one word will be counted as a pass.** 1. Name a monarch known as ‘the Great’ 2. Name a monarch who isn’t called ‘the Great’ but should be 3. Other than the UK, name a current monarchy 4. Name a former monarchy 5. Name a movie about a monarch 6. Other than food, name (one word only) the best thing about being a monarch 7. Other than potentially being overthrown and/or beheaded, name (one word only) the worst thing about being a monarch. 8. The US decides to create a monarchy with ceremonial powers ala the UK. Who should be named the first king/queen. 9. The US decides to make you an absolute monarch. Name one non-political celebrity you would have beheaded. (Or merely imprisoned/exiled/whatever for any wimps out there.) 10. Name the person you would choose for your Queen Consort/Prince Consort ---

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. ---
