**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 a maximum of 50 entrants, and I will score it when I have time available. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: **See below** **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this: 8. answer 9. answer 10. answer 11. answer No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, 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) Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer. 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: Spelling counts! See below for clarification.** No, it doesn’t have to do with time. I just haven’t started a Feud in a while! 😉 Special rule: Spelling counts! If there are two homonyms (“ate” and “eight”), they are considered different words. Do not, however, give a homonym for the cue word – “eight” is not a legal answer for #1. **All spellings will be counted separate, even typos!!!** Name a word that rhymes with: 1. Ate 2. Eat 3. Throw 4. Threw 5. Smile 6. Frown 7. Sighs 8. Sighed 9. Bring 10. Brought ---
