  - So if I'm reading the issue descriptions right, they've rebooted the characters and extracted them from the DCU. - Mop Aug 27, 18:01 1
    - yeah. they tried with Wildstorm. Stormwatch lasted 20 some odd issues, Grifter even less. The only real success they had with the WS - Remlik Aug 27, 18:07

- Looks like Kim posted after me. I think I'm good. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 16:37 6
  - Just make sure you mark them as keepers as well on Yahoo. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Aug 27, 16:42 5
    - There is nobody on my roster. My guys are still listed as Decline's. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 16:45 4
      - Right, don't worry about it. That was a miscommunication between Kim and me. - David Aug 27, 16:47 3
        
        No worries. Just for planning, do I need to compile my own list of draftable players or will the Yahoo list be updated with just the keepers removed? - Volnelk Aug 27, 17:00 2
        
        When the draft begins, you can search Yahoo for available players... - David Aug 27, 17:06 1
        
        Gotcha. Cool. Thanks. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 17:10

  - Climate change will lead to bigger storms and more extreme weather. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 18:06 1
    - The last 10 years proves that climate change will lead to fewer destructive storms, so it's a good thing. Harvey is a fluke. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 27, 18:17

  - The flooding is creeping up on once-in-a-million-year levels ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 16:57 2
    - Because the storm has stalled and is pulling in more moisture from the Gulf. - iSpam Aug 27, 17:04 1
      - We're missing an opportunity here. I assume this is fresh water and not salt water? Get the buckets! -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 17:07

NWBR, that wasn't what my eighth round draft card said, but for the sake of moving on, I'll roll with it - crash davis Aug 27, 15:19 1

David -- all seriousness -- my roster on my Astronauts team doesn't show my trade -- (found the keepers button) -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 27, 14:56 9
- It won't reflect trades. The keeper selection happens -- and I swear I'm not being snide here -- under the section called keepers. - David Aug 27, 14:59 8
  - For clarity, it's best not to set someone as a keeper if you've traded them, right? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 16:31 3
    - Correct. Don't do that. -- nm - iSpam Aug 27, 16:32 2
      - Spammy's right. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:34 1
        
        *bookmarks post* -- nm - iSpam Aug 27, 17:42
  - I swear to God, I didn't see it for minutes of looking -- then saw it within milliseconds of posting. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 15:02 3
    - it won't let me create a trade yet on Baldwin - Jordy, Ware -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 15:16 2
      - Again, you can't trade players on Yahoo, only the league board. - David Aug 27, 15:22 1
        
        I thought I would try anyways. That way people can see the awesome fearsome beauty of my keeper strategy -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 15:24
Who would eat Pee Tape ice cream? -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 27, 14:31 2
- It's fake anyway. -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 14:56 1

    - Out of 12. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:28 6
      - It's like they want Cavemen to finish ahead of them. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 16:53 3
        
        In our defense, we are nocturnal. -- nm - samara Aug 27, 17:02 2
        
        and susceptible to holy water. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:07
        
        Which is a great quality for people drafting during the daytime. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 17:05
      - We're up to 6, I sent a reminder email to all owners in the league. -- nm - samara Aug 27, 15:19 1
        
        Thank you. -- nm - David Aug 27, 15:20

Okay, if there are any Blood Feud issues, please state them now. - David Aug 27, 13:48 21
- I've updated the draft order to reflect trades. There is one minor issue. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 16:50 1
  - No, you get my 10th. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:11
- Also, don't make douchey replies in this thread. It's not as funny as you think. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:05 1
  - Seriously Reagen. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 27, 14:23
- Volnelk, Decline, and Flavorize have league invites. Please sign up asap. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:05 7
  - I think I got the invite for Volnek's team. Not sure if that makes a problem? -- nm - decline Aug 27, 15:15 2
    - Okay, that's our fault. You have the team I assigned you originally despite this snafu. Post keepers as such and Volnelk should do the same. -- nm - David Aug 27, 15:20 1
      - No problem -- nm* - decline Aug 27, 15:22
  - Where would I see that? -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 14:14 3
    - I emailed you an invite at the GreatOaks.com address. - David Aug 27, 14:15 2
      - I'm in. Sorry, only other email I saw was the invite for the boards. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 14:30 1
        
        There's no need for an apology. New folks aren't in because of me. Veterans have no excuse. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:31
- I can't actually trade JF his guy yet. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 13:59 3
  - Yeah, I'm not sure you can do that anywhere but verbally. - David Aug 27, 14:06 2
    - Nope, can't drop anybody either. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 15:31 1
      - Then just don't worry about it. As long as 90% of keepers are set on Yahoo, clean up is easy for us. -- nm - David Aug 27, 15:33
- ML is a doodyhead. -- nm - iSpam Aug 27, 13:58
- Yes. -- nm - TRuMaN Aug 27, 13:53
