At least I generally manage to make the top ten in the alphabetized list… ---

Yup, thanks from me too. I can only see myself going from strength to strength after this first forum feud of mine. 😉 ---

Back in the top five after a multi-game bottom five losing streak! If I’d gone with snake and parakeet (and I almost did) I’d have had a perfect score, but since I’ve been doing so sucky lately I’m not going to complain. 😃 ---

Top 25! WooHooh! Hey, I’ve been ranked in the 30s in about 3/4 of the ones I’ve played, so it’s a big advance for me. ---

**5-4-Fighting** you must be psych[del]o[/del]ic! 😃 I’m back on top! Go Me! Wonder how bad I’ll tank in the next one… I think like a lot of other dopers think. Should I be worried? ---

If she fails to do so in under 10 minutes, she’s forced to pay the SDMB membership fees for all of the game’s participants. At least, that’s how I remember it. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Yes, but I tend to force a lot of players out of playing the game by doing so _naked_… [/QUOTE] So…your strategy is to distract everyone with your beauty, rendering it impossible for anyone to provide a coherent answer and leaving everyone with a score of zero. Clever…very clever. ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Yes, but I tend to force a lot of players out of playing the game by doing so _naked_… [/QUOTE] Which, of course raises the average score because so many of the answers from the men are the same (1.

I protest. Tortoise is a land dweller. A turtle is a mostly water dweller. Not the same answer. And Max is the most common dog name by far. ---

[/QUOTE] The feuds aren’t about most common, it’s about the answer with the most matches posted. The original question was: “1. Name **a popular name** for a dog.” You may have something on the turtle/tortoise thing though, I’m not sure. ---

[/QUOTE] An iguana isn’t a gecko either, but they’re both lizards of sorts… You answered tortoise. Wouldn’t you want to be grouped together with turtles to get more points? What’s your beef? The game is to get more points by matching answers with other people. Not to be “correct.” ---
