Its very funny that you can make more money passively from team losses than wins

Mechanically it makes a lot of sense to reward people who are fans of bad teams to avoid ghost towns.

The thing about maxing out the passive is that the diminishing returns are absurd. The last sunflower seed costs 10000 to get the hit bonus from 1482 to 1500 so it'll take 1250 hits (or 250 from Glover) to earn it back which takes multiple seasons.
Yeah I've since read that it's worth getting up to 40 then investing in other stuff.

Another thing I've noticed is the scaling on stale popcorn is much better than regular popcorn. From previous seasons, I had 71 regular popcorn already which is good for 218 coins per team win. But at only 31 stale popcorn I'm getting 250 per loss. So it seems more profitable to be a fan of a bad team.

According to the number crunchers, stale popcorn is the best value up until you can get sunflower seeds up to 40-50, then seeds are the best right now. Put em on Wyatt glover for bigger lumps of money less frequently, a better hitter for consistent cash.

apparently all the new teams have multiple championships under their belts. 4 each for the Worms and Georgias, 3 for the Mechanics and of course the 3 we know about for the Crabs.

True, it's not going to come until play often... until all the Crabs fans go back and ruin the rest of our fun.

Unless they specifically say "next season" (like Early Bird/Late to the Party), they're permanent.

Decrees are global.

Each team wins 2 Wills based on their own fans votes, they get executed in standing order (which, who knows how that will work as targets become illegal).

Blessings are awarded to random fans, who pass them on to their favorite team.

All of the above are permanent unless specified otherwise. If the title belt wins the decree, single season buffs will technically become more valuable (or to a lesser extent, pennants, in that they'll be more valuable to that team only).

Every team having the ability to swap one player can be pretty chaotic, but from what I see from Discord no one wants to hurt anyone's feelings so things might be ok (as a Wings fan, please don't steal Burke, thank you).

I know Mill's channels don't really want to lose our worst player because they are clutch even if bad, and we also have NaN right now who will leave us sooner than later anyway. I imagine the new teams with relatively worse players are going to hit Plunder hard knowing there isn't much to lose, Enrich, Infuse, and Foreshadow/Alternate are all probably solid. With how players die/shuffle/whatever, I would guess any team-wide Wills should be best by default.

Big Screen Blaseball iirc.

Also thinking a little more about the Wills:
They execute in standing order, and execute as submitted. So if you're in first place and steal a star player, you're going to probably lose them to someone else who targeted them below you. Higher tier teams thus should focus on either buffing their middle-talent players or trading their worst players for other team's middling players to bring up their overall strength instead of going all in on a star or on stealing someone who will only be stolen right away. Likewise, if you're in last place you can just say screw it and start plundering/exchanging for the best players knowing you're going to hold them.

Potentially an unpopular opinion but I'm really liking the election and inventory changes so far. I like how having limited slots means that there's a little bit of elbow scraping when thinking about what to buy and that there's a layer of strategy, even if it's thin.

:same: I sold my pitcher idol items, that i spent a lot to max, but it seems pointless now to have both pitcher and hitter items. If there's another Pitching Machine situation then oh well. Currently maxing stale popcorn. And the Fridays are building a ballpark next season so I think I need Pizza for the time being? Not sure how that works exactly tbh.
