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. Also, don’t try to score a zero, even with “serious” answers.

1. Formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your entire post will be **DISQUALIFIED**.

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit 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 and I’ll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10944618&postcount=87)

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **3:30 PM Central** on Monday, 03/30/09 whichever comes first.  
Good luck!

1. Name a city in Illinois besides Chicago.
2. Name a city in Idaho besides Boise.
3. Name a city in Nevada besides Las Vegas.
4. Name a city in Oregon besides Portland.
5. Name a city in Washington besides Seattle.
6. Name a city in Massachusetts besides Boston.

10. French Lick

11. I almost had to google to come with another city in Idaho

12. Fresno or Oakland or San Jose…which one to choose?

13. Because it is Masters time!! but Savannah or Macon will be more popular

14. Cuz I like saying French Lick

A good question for this feud would have to come up with a city in Vermont besides Burlington. Montpelier doesn’t count because it only has 8,000 people for a population. If it has a “McDonalds”, it has been built fairly recently.

Lots of violations of the “First thought, best thought” rule of thumb here. I second-guessed Carson City NV, Salem OR, San Jose CA, & Terre Haute IN.

ETA: and it was a toss-up between Peoria and Springfield for #1–I sure blew that one!
