The Feud: Watch the Birdie! by Ellen Cherry [Game Over]

The Game Room
101

I actually thought the feud was about GOLF.

102

Quoth Freudian:

Likewise, here. I’m guessing that we did so well by paying attention to the “no duplicates” rule, which so many seem to have overlooked.

I do note that the answers for “African bird” include both “African swallow” and “swallow”, which should probably be merged.

103

I don’t get it. I put Ostrich for #8, but not for the previous one. Although I’d have done better if I’d violated the rules and done that instead of following them. My way would have been better if both of the duplicate answers had been disqualified (and not add to the total for those who got it “right”).

Good to see Swampy back on top where he belongs.

104

Damn, I had no idea there were so many birds on Iceland.

And I passed on this one due to my complete ignorance in the field of birds.

105

I was going for making people think it might be about photography! Too funny.

106

Well, that was fun, even if I was all by my lonesome in at least two answers… :wink:

107

Good catch. Sorry, Swampy, you dropped to 2nd.

That’s a good point. The duplicate ostrich answers for #8 should have been still been counted to add up the total number of points for the people who answered ostrich for #8 within the rules. Converting all the duplicate ostrich answers to passes penalized people who followed the rules. I’d ask for a ruling.

109

Geez, it was a total PITA for Rebo to score – since comparative rankings in one of a long series of Feuds aren’t all that important in the grander scheme of things, why not just let it go?

110

It was a blanket ruling of “second duplicate answer gets turned into a pass” before I even noticed what the actual answers were. The scoresheet won’t allow me to count an answer, then make it into “pass.” It’s automated.

There were more than just ostrich, BTW.

The standings stand. :wink:

111

Hey! I object! On the grounds of… of… ok, I got nuttin’. :smiley:

112

I beat Wormie so badly he disappeared. Crushed into oblivion. YHe was so bad his scores did not make the charts at all.

113

He was probably just afraid of getting eaten by the early bird.
