D’oh!

65

There are always some answers that I’m pretty confident of that surprise me; this one was Do Androids Dream… though I thought a lot of people would answer Blade Runner.

66

Perhaps I should have answered War and Peace for #2, but I thought people might refer to it by its original title, War, What is it Good For.

67

What is that noise?

68

bump for results.

69

It’s a holiday weekend for some, Rebo may be busy.

70

Good God, y’all!

71

Yes, I’ve been very busy! My brother is visiting for my Dad’s 87th birthday, plus we’re going out of town tomorrow. I’m running around like a chicken with its head cut off!

I’ll try to score it before we leave tomorrow afternoon. Sorry!

Off to the grocery store!

:whoosh::

72

Who was that masked woman?

73

She has some badly misplaced priorities. You would think some kind of holiday was coming up.

Phhllbbt!

77

Or even worse that her dad’s 87th birthday and her brother’s visit are more important than scoring the feud. I mean, like scoring the feud is not the most important thing ever! :stuck_out_tongue:

78

Looks like one of the least conchy feuds we ever had.

79

i think this was an excellent example of how to write a Feud, personally. Not because I won, but because there were very few conchs. It was a very thoughtful game.

I wish everybody that submits Feuds would think them out this well. Thanks, Barkis! (Although #9 was spoiler-y.)

80

Just for curiosity, what are the elements that go into a well written feud? Obviously it has to be a topic popular enough that 50 people want to participate, but what else? Questions with many possible answers so that you have to second guess which answer most Dopers will go for?
