Ok… that really proves that my 15th place in the last feud was a fluke. I’m back to my regular bottom scouring places…

I was so excited to get all 1st & 2nd answers. Boy do I wish I hadn’t switched from Cheddar to Swiss. That was a HUGE difference in points.

Stone, motherless last…by a wide margin. There’s a clear cultural bias here, I think.

The problem with our games is we are trying to guess what others are going to put down, while they try to guess what others are going to put down. In the real game people polled are saying the first thing on their mind, and the players are trying to guess what unbiased people said. The difference on easy games is less smaller matches and larger scoring main matches.

Perhaps we could have a list generating poles ahead of time if others will answer them in the pole section. This is a suggestion to be considered I hope. There may already be pole sites to get data we could use in the game. In case people don’t want a change, we could consider a separate series, called something like Old School Feud. I’m not looking to kill your game people.

WOOT!! Second! And I get to share it with **Ivory Tower Denizen**!

Wow, thanks, **Qwisp**! And many thanks to our **Dolores Reborn** as well!

**Qwisp** , don’t feel bad. The exact same thing happens to me. I think it’s some kind of syndrome, like an inverse home game advantage. We’ll have to give it a name & make it official.

We have an all-European one in the queue. It’s true that most of these are American-centric.

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn]  
Now all of you, get up from the computer and go do something else! 🙂  
[/QUOTE]  
I have been away from the computer doing other things, which is why I didn’t find out my score until now. Nineteenth place isn’t bad, but it’s not as good as I’ve done before–guess I’ll have to study up on children’s cereals. (And why was my first thought Count Chocula? I never ate the stuff.)

Many thanks, **Dolores** and **Quisp** –it was great fun, as always!

Wow, 8th! That’s a record for me! Hehehe, that was fun. I think I do best at food-based ones like this. 😛
