A feud is a debate between two users and it consists of a name, a claim, an anonymity setting (whether the profiles of the protagonists are visible to others) and an end date. It works like this: someone (we call him “proponent”) starts a feud by proposing a name, a claim, an anonymity and an end date to the other person; the other party (known as “opponent”) has to agree with the name, agree to oppose the claim, and agree on whether the feud should be public or private and on the end date of the whole affair (the opponent can ask for changes to any of these initial terms and then it’s the proponent’s turn to either agree or propose new changes, and so on); once the terms are agreed upon, the feud becomes active and the two parties will try to convince each other to concede by the end date in order to win. Other users can vote, like and share the feud, they can follow the proponent and opponent if the feud is public, they can leave a comment if they've voted and they can follow one another if they so choose. If neither the proponent nor the opponent have conceded by the end date, the app counts the votes and declares a winner. Each user has a specific vote weight, based on how right they've been over the past three months (either by winning their own feuds or by voting for the winning party in others' feuds). Feud for Thought allows users to register an account; set up various profile elements; add as friends, block and report users; follow users to get their publicly available content; challenge their friends to feuds; vote, like, share, block and report other users' feuds; engage in feuds with random other users through a special type of feud called an open feud.
