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. Maximum 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time.

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:

8. answer

9. answer

10. answer

11. answer

No double spacing, 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) Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.

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: Don’t use quote marks in your answers.

1. Cop
2. Gangster
3. Actor/actress
4. Prostitute
5. King or queen

Not sure if we’re looking for biopics or fiction, or fiction based on real people. I doubt if any of my guesses will match anybody! Maybe #6.

D’oh! Pretty Woman! It’s my Julia Roberts hate coming through.

I submitted with “U.S. president” for #6, which I think would have been less conchy. We’ll see.

Curious to see whether people go for classics or recent films …
