Board 8 > Blaseball

(+) Yeah! (+)

If I remember right in the playoffs it just took the 4 best teams from each League regardless of which division they were in, so they didn't really matter to begin with.

---

Lotta upsets in the past few games, really hurting my funds

---

Yeah me too. Starting to think the algorithms are off. Also, looking at the stats of each team and....they standings are way off. No reason for some of these teams to be under .500, and others should be be over .500. Makes no sense.

well it is an absurdist league

---

Yeah I don't know how the Lovers are doing so much worse than, for example, the Tacos. Their stats are pretty similar. Guess that's just a consequence of random chance and how pitcher rotations work out.

---

Flowers should have at least the second best record. They arent even winning their division!

Bottom of the first and my Shoe Thieves down 4-0.

Yeesh.

---

Dal just had a great win in extra innings, starting with a three-run deficit, scraping back up to a tie, getting scored on again the next inning, then pulling ahead with a two-run homer and then an extra shame run for good measure

Another three got incinerated overnight, two from the same team! Tigers have somehow completely avoided incineration so far.

---

Tigers are going to win it all. Theyre stacked.

They got two of the blessings last week. I forget what one was but the other was "randomize your worst five players." Though in practice it only randomized four, because it does them consecutively rather than simultaneously, so when one of them got randomized and was still the weakest player, they got randomized again immediately.

---

Too OP. Though the stats dont seem to matter too much.

A lot of their losses have been when Yazmin Mason is pitching, the pitcher stats matter a lot more than the batters do

---

Wowwww one of Flowers best batters got incinerated for a WORSE batter. Wtf?!?!

The Blaseball Gods are just trying to guarantee that the Shoe Thieves make it into the playoffs.

---

Well I maxed out the Passive Income Potion, 60 is as good as it gets. Ive heard High Roller Snake Oil maxes at 800 so Im only a little over halfway there. Got 23 votes stocked up. I spent five or six in the first couple days this week then decided to save up the rest because I lost track of what I had voted for.

---

realizing im essentially into cookie clicker again

---

Lost so many of my tokens. Gotta work my way back up. Flowers need a better pitcher.

Flowers pretty much clinched. Shoe thieves looking to collapse!

Go Flowers!!!0

Flowers just blew a 5-0 (and then 7-2) lead. Theyre done for. Ugh!

I dont like the Tigers chances now, our next two games feature our bad pitchers

---

My Firefighters made a hell of a comeback, but the next four games are all bad pitching matchups. I'm concerned.

---

Firefighters shouldve lost this game!!!!

o shit Yazmin pulls it off when it counts! I feel pretty good about the comeback!

---

Wow. Coming down to the wire

Your kicks
are my kicks

---

Im over Shoe Thiefs. Literally all their stats are inferior to their opponents throughout the playoffs yet they keep winning.

Butt devastated. The stats have minimal effect and as such make me feel like its all arbitrary. Over this site. It was very entertaining for the week but I wont be returning to it.

the teams in general are very balanced, a 60%-40% split shouldnt give any surprises if either ends up winning.

this isnt blasketball where only the top 4 teams even have a chance of winning

---

I hate it!

but im here to find out who's evolving and what peanuts are

---

The peanut, also known as the groundnut, goober (US), or monkey nut (UK), and taxonomically classified as Arachis hypogaea, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, due to its high oil content, an oil crop. World annual production of shelled peanuts was 44 million tonnes in 2016, led by China with 38% of the world total. Atypically among legume crop plants, peanut pods develop underground (geocarpy) rather than above ground. With this characteristic in mind, the botanist Carl Linnaeus named the species hypogaea, which means "under the earth".

thanks for that, luster

i agree, those are the two most interesting options. hopefully they win

it's hard to imagine enough people spending their cookie clicks on relegation

i guess fans of the best teams might like the shame rule, and fans of the 4 worst teams might like the fourth strike. we'll see what happens

Jesus, now that's a callback.

Third Season begins!

The Peanut Plague. Peanuts are available in the shop for 1 dollar. They have an inventory spot by the tickets. I don't know what they do.

The Fourth Strike was unlocked for the Millennials, Sunbeams, Breath Mints, and Lovers.

---

Ugh. The worst options. Im not participating anymore.

I'm a Fridays supporter. We just try to be chill all the time. Our star player is an 8 year old child, who also now has been granted an actual gunblade to wield.

Wow. The Tigers, who already had the best offense in the league, now got the best batter traded to them? AND my favorite team got zero boosts? Fuck this site. And fuck its terrible bandwidth that always crashes.

i thought you weren't participating anymore

You can consume peanuts by clicking them.

It says you consumed 1 peanut.

---

really sad the pies did not evolve

---

Well if they win another championship, they, and Blaseball, will Ascend

Some words in the book that were previously redacted are now visible or partially visible.

Also all players with "Dan" in their name now have "Peanut" in their name instead

---

There's also a Patreon now which I think is new.

For $3.33 a month you get access to 'The Bloodhouse'.

Also just realized the players on my team include a dog (owned by another player), a Skin Thief, an infant, a tooth monster, a muscular woman in a relationship with Boyfriend Monreal of the Breath Mints, and someone with the nickname 'The'.

This thing is great.

---

If you're looking at the wiki, that's almost all just random stuff made up by fans rather than actual in-game lore, but it's fun to play along

---

Lots of good voting choices this time around

---

And now The Editor in Beef himself, Austin Walker is their sponsor! At least his roleplaying podcast Friends at the Table is. I thought it was neat.

Good luck to all, but after being so close to victory, I can say with absolute certainty the Shoe Thieves are going all the way. Tie your kicks tight, or they will be ours.

---

The devs really need to invest in better servers, I don't think they anticipated this level of popularity.
