> [@Rebo](#): > > Nope - check your PM’s. Well I named it a “Capital Feud” but then I prefaced the feud my questions with “Name a State Capital that…” but I couldn’t think of 10 good questions about State Capitals. So I went with Canada, Central America and the Carribean. ---

So let me see if I understand this correctly-- The object of the game is to think of the most popular answer, but then people will be disqualified for making duplicate answers? So this is basically a contest to see who is up at 530 in the morning on the West Coast? Sweet. ---

Port Au Prince #7 = _crickets_, but true OK, now that I see the repeats thing (Good that I saw **IAmNotSpartacus** ’s post before reading the rest of the thread), this seems more random than most Feuds. Start/end with consonants? Total random which to put where.
