Holy crap…I didn’t think I’d even make the top 10 on this one. Woohoo!

And as always, thanks for running it!

Yes, thanks, Dolores–sorry, didn’t realize how divergent it would be. I’ll try to be a little less general next time I submit a feud.

Nice game, Dolores, despite yet another finish on the bottom half. :slight_smile:

Second place, yay, I like these low-scoring games!

Thanks for the game Freudian Slit and Dolores.

Let me do some primary style math:

I’m near victorious since I came in 2nd on the alpha-list. Go me!

Well, there were literally hundreds of possible answers to some of the questions. But I thought it was very interesting to find out which of those hundreds of possibilities were famous enough to get multiple responses.

That’s why I like to score these - for the not so obvious answers. I get to see the patterns emerge - it’s very cool! Plus I get to see the front-runners. :smiley:

I’m going out of town this weekend, so we’ll have to wait until Monday or so to start a new one.

PM me with ideas!
