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: None 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, 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: None 1. Besides Randall Flagg and all his incarnations, who is the greatest SK villain? 2. What SK work has had the best translation to the screen? 3. What SK work has had the worst translation to the screen? 4. Which male character is most likeable? 5. Which female character is SK’s best written? 6. What SK novella or short story (not novel) is the best? 7. What is the best story written by Richard Bachman? 8. Other than Castle Rock, name a fictional town in the SK universe. 9. Name an actor (male) that has been in an SK movie. 10. Name an actress (female) that has been in an SK movie. ---

Not a Stephen King reader, so I will pass on this feud. Now maybe if **Candide** had done a feud on Voltaire, I coulda been a contender. > [@](#): > > If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others? ---
