@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…

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…

@garygnu

FYI, the capital of Turkey is Ankara.

Crap… :smack:

I said Trivial Feud, not Family Feud.

[Justin_Credible]

@Hostile Dialect

I said Trivial Feud, not Family Feud.

Oh, okay. I didn’t realize there was a difference.

[Justin_Credible]

@Little Nemo

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.
