**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below.** * * * Inspired by recent outrage over a doctor revealing the most common answers to the first 10 Rorschach test ink blots. Let’s see if those answers hold up! Please give honest answers, there are no correct ones! Feel free to look up the “answers” on Wiki \*\*after \*\*you have submitted your own. So…what do you see? **Special rules: Maximum words in your answer = 4. Repeats (within your list of answers) are ok this time.** * * * 1.

Btw, item #7 in the list in the OP says there are no special rules for this game, and then the special rules are mentioned twice subsequently. Just to be nitpicky. 🙂 ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Man, this is going to be a tough one to score. I am actually more interested in the different answers than the score of this feud. It would be perfectly OK with me if REBO wants to just summarize the answers because I doubt if there are many matches. Because you are right, it will be a bitch and a total PITA to collate duplicate answers. ---
