A new Feud - Rock is Dead **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, no smilies, no “list” function, 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: To avoid recent media coverage induced conchs, Michael Jackson is NOT allowed as an answer for any item.** 1. Name a rock star that died from a drugs/alcohol mishap. 2. Name a recording artist that died in a motor vehicle accident. 3. Name a recording artist that died in a flying machine crash. 4. Name a recording artist that died from cancer. 5. Name a recording artist that died from a medical problem other than cancer. 6. Other than John Lennon, name a recording artist that was murdered. 7. Other that Kurt Cobain, name a recording artist that committed suicide. 8. Other than Elvis Presley, name a recording artist rumored to have faked his/her own death. 9. Other than “American Pie”, name a song written as a tribute to a deceased musician. 10. Name a clue used to “prove” Paul is Dead. ---
