Hopefully Chorby just gets blown up on day 88 and you survive the consumer attacks. I can't fault you having bad vibes because I know I had them a lot as a Garages fan when I realized how screwed we were. Oh right now I'm hoping that Chorby gets blown up and then immediately Plundered back onto the Mills.

It would be funny if Chorby is incinerated, Plundered by someone, and then immediately has Returned trigger though, like Picklestein had happen in the season 13 elections.

My time has been greatly improved by leaving all Blaseball communities except for here, SIBR and one channel in a nice small discord and going all in on passive income so I can follow Blaseball at two arms length

New weather just dropped. Loot crates fall from the sky. Please note that this is a Ring of the element Leg, not a Ring that goes on your leg that's ridiculous.  Also in a different game in Salmon weather, a fish swam upstream and restored someone's Bat that got broken in a previous game.

So by "restored" the player picked up the Salmon and said "ah yes, a new bat" right?

The other effect salmon have is to replay an inning and they sometimes take runs with them, so yeah I guess the flavour is that salmon are swimming up the time stream

Yuck, my only snake oil strategy wasn't going so well this season and now the site seems to have gobbled up a days' worth of bets. In my feed I just have the messages for the bet being made an none about whether they won or lost. I DMed the keepers and they say my data's all correct but I'm still out the 130k on my account. I guess the Tacos will just have to win zero blessings again without my help  e: of course right after I post this it gets resolved, all's well that ends well tinstaach fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Apr 14, 2021 |

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:tsk, Mills hogging all the Chorbys They really are hogging them. The tigers were planning to save Chorby Short through a series of plundering and reforming her, maybe incinerating some umpires in the process. They're fireproof so it's safe to have an unstable player on their team. But the mills decided they wanted to keep her as a pitcher to help their struggling team. Magic and tigers both are disappointed because it was an action-movie level rescue effort that everyone thought was really cool. but there's nothing to be done. The mills' will to move Short would take place after a plunder by the tigers, so it would undo the plunder. A lot of really bad feelings are coming out over it. I've found that a byob-type attitude is best here, both to avoid issues with the already overbearing discord moderators, and out of concern for my team's safety: we wait until the mills help our frog out and make her safe to bring home, then run a friendly, lighthearted, but absolutely massive amount of propaganda to bring her back to yellowstone once she's safe.

Our pitching is terrible and we offered to stay out of the way in exchange for a help fixing it. Go ahead and take her next week when she's in the rotation instead of a shadow, we'll get then what we asked for now - if she's still alive. We have no plans to reroll mods knowing she's getting taken right away.

You know, a lot of conversations seem to be happening in team chats and between team representatives instead of general chat and that's probably where a lot of the bad vibes are coming from. In magic chat, we were told by a mod that the cool tiger/magic wimdy rescue plan was being made, but also told to keep it on the down low. So when Short dropped into the mills they probably had no idea about it and decided to put her in the rotation. Our mods saw that, came back and said "oops plans cancelled the mills wanna keep her" which upset a lot of people including me. No magic and mills people talked except for team reps that I'm aware of, so it's all a game of telephone. Magic has no idea that mills aren't planning to reroll lol, your post is the first I've heard of it.

Jinh posted:You know, a lot of conversations seem to be happening in team chats and between team representatives instead of general chat and that's probably where a lot of the bad vibes are coming from. Yeah we had thought about moving Short to our rotation because our pitching is terrible. We heard about this plan, thought it was cool, and collectively voted that we would be good with not adding Chorby Short to our rotation if we got some assistance in return to help fix our pitching. We were told there was no interest in this by the reps who talked about it. We made sure everyone knew we were planning on doing this so the Tigers didn't waste a will plundering her only to lose her to order of operations on wills. Right now the plan is to put Chorby Short into the Rotation, where we assume she will be Plundered as soon as the order of operations on the wills allows it to happen so that we shouldn't waste any further investment -- even if she gets incinerated and we get a random alternate it is still better than what we have now and y'all can just necromancy her. If Magic or Tigers Plunder her back directly, its an upgrade for us over what we have now. I believe the request was "Magic plunders Vaughan + maybe help us do some idol board manipulation later as a favor" for us to sit back and do nothing while the Tigers took Short from our shadows. So yeah, literally every possible outcome of Foreshadow Chorby Short into our pitching rotation is a good to great outcome for us, and we are willing to pass on it if Magic plunders Vaughan as a compromise so that we get something out of the situation. Our reps are terrible.

I popped over in mills channels for a vibe check but didn't see any conversation happen, didn't realize it was so hot there. Personally I'd be happy to trade curry aliciakeys, but I think magic generally won't try to plunder her until unstable is dealt with so that probably won't happen. This team is, uh, really attached to its players. So more than likely it will be tigers who make a move in season 17 election, or a wimdy from a crazy magic fan. You're right that this is probably on reps to deal with although I don't like how much they're already kinda taking over decisionmaking, so I'll drop it and just enjoy the really good frog in the big city fanart.  Also sorry to hear about the awful losing streak lately, woof. https://twitter.com/RFoluler/status/1382779281189834754?s=19

InnercityGriot posted:From a tacos fan, and without saying too much, what’s the mood on the proposed exchange? From what I've seen, Tigers were already planning to spend a few wills for the plan so they didn't want to spend any more, and the Magic were interested it in as a cool plan but didn't seem to want to spend anything on doing it. This is all heard second or third hand, for what it's worth. Mills got absolutely hosed last election (got two wills that had <3% each despite having I think the largest combined total on our top two wills, leaving us stuck with Chorby, and the Plasma thing, aside from the usual no blessings), from my end (non-rep) it seemed like we were being told "we have dibs on the good player you just got", and it didn't rub me the right way. I personally think it'd make sense to reroll as soon as we can, since it'd leave a huge liability to our team to keep another Unstable player around, and the only way we wouldn't be able to block a steal is if we become good enough to have our wills proc before the Magic or Tigers anyway, and at that point I'd assume we have more than the two good pitchers.

how much money are people pulling in with more passive income strats? I'm rocking oil/seeds only and loving it, despite only betting on like 20-30 rounds all week I have like 650k. I'm sure more optimal strategies/consistent betting are getting like 10s of millions, just curious what things look like without wanting to delve too deep into discord pins

I have max seeds, dogs, pickles and slushies with a fifth slot for votes and I'm at about 670k for the season with York. I've been pretty busy this week so I haven't looked into better idol payouts though. Nagomi made me well over a million last season though!
