Blood Feud: am I reading the boards right and teams are keeping 8-10 guys? - Krusty Aug 27, 06:07 12
- For me it was just ‘would I get a guy better than this in the first round? No.’ And I just kept going. Why people are keeping K and DST is beyond me. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 06:09 11
  - DST is valuable in BF. If you're keeping everyone else, might as well keep your kicker. - the wrong element Aug 27, 06:50 5

  - Kickers…”is it Justin Tucker? If no, cut.” -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 06:47 1
    - Heh, I dropped Tucker. :) -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 27, 08:10
  - I don't know who is going to be available and don't know when I'm going to draft each round as each round it can change based on how many - Krusty Aug 27, 06:18 1
    - Whether someone gets kept or picked it’s the same. So just think ‘is this a top 10 guy? A top 30 guy? Just look at your roster and a list. - Volnelk Aug 27, 06:24
  - Defences can be core keepers in Blood Feud. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 06:10

  - my guess is that they have a protocol in terms of how the face their challenges once they reach and what kind of weaponry they use - Remlik Aug 27, 07:01 1
    - It was pretty evident in the movie. Animals just got the blades. Comanche got blades and arrows. White man got more because they had guns. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 09:00
  - Why should it? Not all cultures advance technologically at the same rate as ours. - Beryllium Aug 27, 01:11 4
    - Based on all available data, things move pretty quickly once you invent industrialization... -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 01:44 3
      - I equate them to the Hirogen in Star Trek - Beaker Aug 27, 04:43

  - Only if you're chewing on the whiskey stones... -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 00:35
Why isn't there a pregnant Barbie doll? -- (edited) - JD Aug 26, 22:46 3
- There is a pregnant doll from the Barbie line, but it's technically Midge. She married Ken's best friend. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 22:58 2
  - I actually knew this and remembered the moment I pressed post. - JD Aug 26, 23:17 1

    - ^ before I tweet that, for those who have read The Killing Joke, how horribly inappropriate is the above image? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 01:12 2
      - yeah I wouldn't. the sentiment is correct...but that's the not the way to do it I think. -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 07:27
