Hopefully this isn't locked-down intel, but Tacos fans on the discord seem to be about evenly split between going all out for the Soul Swap blessing (which would probably reroll four half-star hitters and a zero-star pitcher), buying votes and saving them to bombard next season's juiciest decrees and blessings, and eating the blaseball gods

It's been a rough 24 hours for Hawaii, who are now 10 games behind the Millennials and a couple games out of a wildcard. Not that this team has any business contending.

The Tacos just got reverbed, their worst pitcher is a batter now!

...and their best hitter is a pitcher now, lmao

They're a lot better despite losing Patel Beyonce to their pitching lineup, but the Tacos are still very weak. They still aren't a good team, I would absolutely save my votes for the inevitable "Everyone Loves Tacos" decree next season.

Also I can't wait to talk about Elijah Valenzuela.

The Tacos are so bad I half expect one of the decrees for next season will be to buff them and at this point I think the fans of other teams would probably chip in votes to make that happen. An inverse Tame the Tigers.

Yeah, the feeling seems to be running towards eating the blaseball gods. At this point, I'm not sure if the Tacos fans would even vote for a full-team revamp.

Not sure if we're supposed to do this, but I've been dumping votes into Soul Swap anyway. Tired of that sad sack, losing is fine, Cubs talk. I can't believe Patel got reverbed, this team has no luck.

The beauty of Blaseball is that when the Cubs suck, you can actually do something about it. Soul Swap seems like a great improvement for the Tacos, assuming they don't get unlucky and the new randomize players are among the worst.

Hell yeah, gonna single-handedly buy them that blessing if I can.

MVP Talk, here's my order right now:

1. Nagomi Mcdaniel, hitting freakin' 9th
2. Jessica Telephone, awesome but not like last season
3. Workman Gloom, just a steady, great hitter
4. York Silk, carrying a mostly bad Fridays team into playoff contention

Update going into game 99:

The Tacos got a last minute feedback that somehow made them worse again.

Playoffs:

Good League:
Tied for 1st: Millenials and Lovers, last day will decide their seeding
3rd: Firefighters
tied for 4th: Steaks and Breath Mints, Steaks win and they're in, Mints need a win and a Steaks loss

Evil League:
1st: Crabs
2nd: Jazz Hands
3rd/4th: Tigers or Moist Talkers in either position, depending on the last game outcomes.

My personal call is that the Jazz Hands are underrated going in. They have two of the best pitchers in blaseball right now and good rotations are important in the playoffs.

EDIT: Almost forgot, targeted shame is going to affect the outcome of this season, the Jazz Hands start at -3 against the Steaks, so the Mints are really living on a prayer

I'm optimistic about the Crabs chances in the playoffs. They have the stingiest defense in Blaseball with the fewest runs allowed all season. Even more impressive given all but 3 games were against Evil League teams which are way more stacked talent wise than the Good League. Will also be interesting to see how the Lovers fare given they spent a decent chunk of their wins just wailing on the Tacos.

Don Mitchell just ate a peanut and improved his hitting:



I believe only Wyatt Glover's 4-star defense rating is keeping Don from literally being better than every single Taco at everything

good news! Wyatt Glover got reverbed onto the magic in game 98 for Halexandrey Walton whose stats are 1.5* batting, 2* pitching, 1.5* baserunning, 3* defense

I was really pissed at that at first, but Walton is actually a little underrated at 1.5 stars, she has a solid walk rate. Behind Rat and Mcdowell she's actually the third best hitter in our lineup. (Which is pathetic but hey.)

My guess is that some serious roster shuffling is going to happen, and that it'll probably involve players changing teams, and the different decrees will determine which leagues/divisions are affected.

We don't exactly know but one popular theory is that most of them are about switching up the teams in leagues. My theory is that High Filter will increase the chances of Feedback.

Check out the Idols page... there's a red dotted line that separates the top three Idols.

Maybe this is how they remove OP players from the league?
