Board 8 > Blaseball

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is betting just broken now?

---

I think it's all fixed now, I was able to bet on games a few minutes ago.

---

Somehow I lost all of the coins I had during the downtime. Kinda sucks.

---

probably will come back when it's out of bleta

---

Damn, can't afford a bucket of 1000000 peanuts

I did buy -5 peanuts a few times though, what a deal

---

I'm almost at the point where I could bet 800 on all 10 games and still have enough to bet 800 on all 10 games the next round even if I lost it all. Lot of incinerations today, especially in the last hour!

---

but can you buy peanuts?

---

I check seldom new. I see the Flowers get worse and worse. There top players get incinerated and replaced with worse players. They still have the worst pitching in the league. Wtf? I spent 800 coins on their pitching rotation. Fruitless.

Shoe Thieves lost a player by incineration, then immediately lost that player's replacement 3 games later.

Also we lost a pitcher and that pitcher's replacement has 0 stars but we love them anyways.

But then someone got incinerated and replaced with someone way better so sometimes shit works out.

I think that's about how much I spent on the Jazz Hands and we didn't get anything either but that's just how raffles work dude

---

Wish there was a log that shows all updates for each team.

wait I thought you said you werent participating anymore?

---

I said I seldom check in

And you better not question my intents ever again or else Ill say something that will cut you like a knife.

Oh dear

---

Just worried I've always been a "if something no longer brings you joy you should stop doing it, and I know that's it's hard to put down something you've committed time to" sorta guy

---

Tigers made it through two whole seasons with no incinerations and no peanut reactions. Only bad thing to happen to us so far was the weird unexplained trade of Nagomi McDaniel after season 1

---

Any idea on what peanuts do yet? And if Pies win, the league ascends?

The Tigers keep getting better and better. I think their stats were rerolled.

Randomly, players will eat peanuts and have an allergic reaction (stats reduced) or a positive reaction (stats increased).

---

The Pies wont lose lmao

Jessica Telephone is batting, wielding the Dial Tone

There are just too many birds

Each extra innings starts with a man on second?

What does any of this mean? Why does there continue to be no source of explanations?

Extra innings starting with a man on second is a rule in real baseball now

Jessica Telephone received the first season blessing to max out a batter, the "Dial Tone" is her legendary bat denoting this

The birds didn't get any concrete explanation but it seems fairly obvious that they were attracted by all the peanuts. It just prevents the announcer from commenting on what happened that play.

The absurdity of things that happen with little explanation and the way certain rules and stats are obscured is part of the fun of this game. If it were just simulated regular baseball games why would anyone play it

---

So the peanuts were a complete waste other than not announcing what happened on some plays? Waste of a blessing.

Man starts on first** not second, my fault.

Peanuts also made the "Peanuts" weather effect, which sometimes causes a player to swallow a stray peanut and either have a yummy reaction (raised stats) or allergic reaction (lowered stats)

And I assume something will happen once somebody buys the million peanut bucket and eats them

---

Is there any indication which player swallowed the peanuts? And then you have to see what their stat is, and guess whether it was better or worse than before?

Pies got eliminated. Damn.

Very sad that Blaseball will not be ascending for at least another week.

If somebody swallowed a peanut, it says who and whether it was a yummy or allergic reaction in the summary at the end of the game. It can only happen when the weather condition is Peanuts (just like incineration is only when the weather is Solar Eclipse). I believe it also says it in the game log right when it happens but thats only visible for a few seconds.

honestly none of this is difficult to figure out if you spend any time at all looking at the website

---

Its very difficult because I dont stare at the results page for the very small window its there. I also dont memorize the names and stats for each player, meaning Ill never know when people are replaced and whether its for the better.

Would it really be so unwarranted for the creator to create a log of what happens? Maybe some clearer explanations beyond the 70% redacted rule book?

The overly offensively powerful team Hades Tigers just had one of their batters incinerated. He had four stars. About time theyd be more balanced and less dominant, right? Wrong. They replaced the guy with another four star player. Wtf was the point?

half the fun of the game is the weirdness and obscurity
more logs and stuff would be nice but that's what, 800+ games a week? that's probably difficult to implement well especially when the server already has issues. Would like to see a news page or something though.

---

The blaseball wiki has a lot of fan-made silliness but also has a record of every incineration, peanut swallowing, blessing, etc

---

Kewl. Im rooting for the Millenials because the Tigers seem to get all the breaks.

ya go my tigers

---

What a season, what a season.

Shoe Thieves started strong but pitching was decimated by peanuts and those power-mad umpires, playoffs is nice but a disappointment after last season's run.

I dumped like 500 tickets into pitching so here's hoping.

---

the peanut cheaters kind of ruined the fun of buying votes

---

Do we know the nature of the fraud? I figure it could have been as simple as an autoclicker during a period when negative peanuts were on sale to get tons of coins, but maybe they got tons of peanuts instead somehow?

---

Fraud?

https://medium.com/@thegameband_studio/blaseball-is-taking-an-extended-siesta-10a65806228c

tl;dr Blaseball is more popular than they realized, so they're taking an extended break after this season to relaunch in 1-2 weeks.

---

that's fair but I wanna know the election results :(

also I hope they don't lose all their momentum :(

---

The website is still failing to load for me but apparently the Firefighters won 3 raffles and improved massively, so if current rosters carry over after the Mega Siesta they should be pretty good.

---

Results are up, but I reloaded the page and now can't get back to it. Interviews and 1% won. The Interview description was weird, like the Forbidden Book-type weird.

And everyone got 193 coins because of wealth redistribution except the tippy top people who lost all their money.

And the Shoe Thieves won no upgrades so the commissioner is doing a terrible job.

---

I forgot to spend the rest of my coins, so I hope everyone else enjoys them now that theyve been redistributed. I didnt think that decree was likely to win but was going to stock up on votes and peanuts just in case. Oops!

The other big effect of the Interview decree is that the Los Angeles Tacos are now the Unlimited Tacos, and every one of their players is now named Wyatt Mason.

With Yazmin Mason going from worst pitcher on our team to the best, a below average hitter getting replaced with someone better, and nobody else getting stolen from us, I think the Tigers have a good chance at a repeat Championship once things resume.

---

Tigers have been the best team on paper for every season so far. Miraculous how they didnt win all three times.

Our biggest weakness was that our two worst pitchers were first and second in the pitching rotation, so we started at a disadvantage. Our first round opponent could win those two games and then only needed one upset in the next three games to win.
