The Feud: The 1800's by notfrommensa [Game Over]

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 you 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)

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.

  11. I hope people don’t overlook him because he’s too early in the century. TJefferson is on the $2 bill.

  12. This one was hard - thought about (Bret) Maverick or Sherlock Holmes, but I’m hoping some of the Whedon fans come up with this.

  13. Another toughie.

  14. Took me a while to come up with this one, but I’m pretty confident it will be close to a conch.

  15. Conch! Or Dickens I guess.

  16. Picked at random. I was tempted to pick Mississippi, even though that’s actually not correct, because it was the first state I thought of after Louisiana.

    Off the top of my head, I hope Napoleon counts. I know he spans the late 1700’s and early 1800’s.

Also, can’t remember when the cotton gin was invented, but thought it may have been in the late 1700’s or early 1800’s. So I went with the steam locomotive.
