Board 8 > Blaseball: The Return of the Discipline Era

(+) Yeah! (+)

Idolizing Pitching Machine is probably a really good idea since it pitches every single game, you wouldn't need to keep rotating who you idolize

---

also, it's funny

sold

---

A reminder that the bettings odds are not affected by Targeted Shame, so make sure to check whether a team is gonna start with negative points before you place a bet. Best to wait until the games are over before betting on the next round.

---

Pitching Machine has been #1 on the idol leaderboard for a while now. also, you can bulk purchase votes and bulk tribute peanuts now
---

earned like 25000 coins just from pitching machine strikeouts over the course of a day

lmao so good

---

It pitched a shutout too

---

I struggle to gain coins

Just max bet whoever the favorite is and you gain coins like crazy.

---

They lose like 50% of the time

One of the Tacos pitchers has been pecked free from its shell, so Pitching Machine payouts will be less than before.

---

Yeah that was a solid plan for making money.

How do you find out about updates like this? The Discord?

---

Discord, and @blaseball and @blaseballnews on Twitter

---

and sometimes the news ticker or Bulletin section but those tend to be slow

---

Lmao wow

Pretty uneventful day. Though the Breath Mints just got four flickering players last game, maybe we'll finally see what that really does.

---

Pitching Machine drained more pitching stats from another player, theyre now legitimately a pretty good pitcher.

Tigers lost another player in feedback, but the one they got back is similar in strength this time at least.

---

Pitching Machine is making me rich.

Pitching Machine now has five stars in Pitching thanks to Party Time.

Also, yoooo

Remember to unidolize Pitching Machine unless you want it to be Shelled

---

I feel like it will inevitably be shelled

Pitching Machine was Shelled. however this DOES mean that Sexton Wheerer will be pitching every Tacos game now

also, apparently the microphone is sending messages through the Pregame Ritual stats of players who were at Microphone spots on the idol leaderboard, those being NaN and Sixpack Dogwalker. I wasn't there for it but here's the transcript:

hi friends
it is Wyatt
I have a plan

You can still see the last message there

Spent all my money on Votes. Need 200 to get a new idol on Sexton!

Got 2700 votes this season, pretty good week considering i just casually look at it now.

---

I feel like it doesnt even matter. There are Reddit forums and Discords and whatnot who dominate and coordinate the voting.

I mean most of the fun of this imo is getting together with other fans of your team to coordinate ways to make your team better.

I dont join discord!

Tigers trying to ascend...

Garages went bonkers with the Election.

It ultimately didnt help them much. The player who became Stable was immediately incinerated and the replacement player isnt great. (Also Instability doesnt seem to be a threat right now anyway so Stable probably wouldnt have even helped at all) Then they added another pitcher to the rotation with terrible stats, which means their one good pitcher is playing less frequently than before. Home Field Advantage will probably win a few games for them, at least.

Tigers made out pretty good, as did the Pies. Crabs didnt get any blessings, but they didnt get any worse either, so they will definitely be in contention again.

---

What is happening?

it's a siesta week

---

Anything cool happen after a Siesta?

Not necessarily, but the devs said beforehand they needed a week to work some stuff out. So maybe!

---

I reckon something cool is beckoning.

Blaseball is back baby

---

Yayyyyy!

Grass Blood or whatever the Flowers gave is awesome. Basically 5% growth each season!

During the Steaks/Breath Mints game with Peanuts weather, this happened:
"A Big Peanut crashes into the field. It lands harmlessly on the field."

Based on the repetition in the phrasing there I suspect that second sentence could be something else instead of just "lands harmlessly on the field" if it happens in another game

Also some weirdness happened in the Lovers/Jazz Hands game. Birds weather. This happened at one point:
"A flock of Crows ambush Alexander Horne! They run to safety, resulting in an out."
However, the Lovers were already on two outs, and this third one did not end their half of the inning for some reason. Then the next TWELVE outs they got did not end the inning. The thirteenth finally did. This was almost certainly a programming bug but I'm sure we'll find a way to incorporate it into the game somehow.

---

Im rich from Idolizing Sexton Wheeler and paying
for the strikeout pendant.

So they got out 13 times before switching sides? They better have won.

The three players that became permanently Flickering have been swapping teams multiple times, and players who get hit by a Hotdogfingers pitch now become Repeating (can immediately get another at-bat). Summers Pony was at first, second, and third base simultaneously in one game because of this. Nothing else major has happened today that I have seen or heard about

---

Thats pretty wild. I wonder how long these guys can sustain being innovative.

One of those giant peanuts finally landed on a player, making them Shelled

---

havent been here for a while but here's a cool site that details the events of past seasons https://www.splortsmanship.cool/

small note, the last section says Ron Monstera was incinerated while being protected from incinerations, but I'm pretty sure Forever Physical only ensures stability

---

Correct, he was only protected from becoming Unstable

---

Oh thats cool. Finally an archive.

I continue to make bank on idolizing saxton. Hopefully he doesnt get shelled or additional pitchers.

new monitor appearance:
let's see here...
egg time
*crunch*
wait yuck
think that egg spoiled
hmm
still hungry
need something more filling
you holding out on me?
better do something
