RULES! **1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** **2. Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 1. Formatting rules: If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**. 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No smilies. No urls. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. No smilies! No extraneous bs is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**! The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me. (I’ve quit maintaining The List.) If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. Good luck! **Read the rules! 🙂** **No repeats!!** Repeats will be disqualifed! 1. Name a US State Capital that has two words. 2. Name a US State Capital that begins with a vowel. 3. Name a US State Capital that ends with a vowel. 4. Name a US State Capital that begins with a consonant. 5. Name a US State Capital that ends with a consonant. 6. Name a US State Capital that is the home of at least one major sports team. 7. Name a US State Capital that is NOT a large city or metro area. 8. Besides Toronto, name a Canadian Provencial Capital. 9. Besides Mexico City, name a capital of a Central American country. 10. Besides Havana, name a capital of a Carribean Country or Territory. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > Okay, to be more specific…Isn’t Mexico NOT in [Central America](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_america)? It depends who you ask, there being no really universally accepted answer to that question. The point of the qualifier was to prevent people from using Mexico City as an answer. Remember, “Feud” ain’t about facts. If I told you I’d asked 100 people to name a big fish and to guess a popular answer, “whale” would probably be a good response, even though whales are not fish. ---

hmmm, there are more two word state capitals than I thought. when I thought of the question, I thought there were 5 (Carson City, Jefferson City, Oklahoma City, Baton Rouge, and Santa Fe). Now I see Des Moines and Little Rock, and I just thought of St. Paul. And BTW, RickJay, Manchester is not a state capital, Concord is the capital of New Hampshire. ---
