[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect] Yep, that’s what I meant, but the horse has left the barn. :smack: It looks like **robardin** and I both picked cities that weren’t actually capitals. Guess I should’ve used a phrase like “international city” instead of “national capital”. Forgive me for the sloppy questions, guys, I’m a little rusty… [/QUOTE] Well, it doesn’t matter, usually - in the other Feuds I’ve seen a wrong answer still gets points if enough people follow it. I can’t believe so many people named **Pele** … ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > I see I misread the last question. Can I upgrade it to the United States? I was going to assume that that was what you meant. My intention was to have each sports question yield a maximum of 8 possible answers, so yes, for that particular question I’m going to boil the city responses down to countries. > [@Justin Credible](#): > > Oh, okay. I didn’t realize there was a difference. Ah. Well, my first Family Feud game (FFP8) drew complaints that it was too hard and that some of its questions were too much like trivia to be appropriate for Family Feud, so I split Trivial Feud off to focus on just those sorts of questions. ---
