I agree. I'd rather be broke and loyal to the Shoe Thieves than be a filthy traitor

I never bet on the Garages, because then I will feel responsible when they lose because I am a mildly superstitious gambling man.

Once you get to the maximum bet limit of 800, the gambling part gets pretty... boring?

I hit the limit this past Monday evening and now I've got ~60k. What is left to do here? I guess I should check out the Tacos discord for voting ideas?

I've been converting my coins into votes once I go over a certain point, we'll be getting into placing them soon. Thanks to Incinerations and Feedback, I want to wait and see what the Firefighters look like before I start spending votes.

Following your favourite player's Twitter, checking the fan art and lore, posting memes on the discord, poo poo talking the other teams in your subdivision.

Spend your money! I’m keeping things fun by always spending down to about than a thousand after placing my bets. This makes it so my bets have actual risk because I don’t have a huge pool of money in reserve.

There’s no reason to hoard your coins, since after you buy all the upgrades the only thing left is votes (and peanuts). Might as well save yourself a lot of clicking later by doing a little clicking now.

I started following Blaseball during the extended siesta, and picked the Garages as my team. It's mindblowing how much lore the fans have created. Also, this is the first Patreon I've ever donated to.

Most of the Garages Band folks are making music and 'zines and poo poo. Like, yeah, they also are an internet fandom who's every once in a while making cute non-binary marshmellows probably to gently caress but also making faildads with a heart of gold and skateboarders.

Seattle Garages update: Mike Townsend, former worst pitcher in the league, nearly threw a perfect game last night against the best pitcher in the league. We are currently almost back up to .500 and within spitting distance of a playoff spot, and I'm reading into this as the redemption arc that turns the team around before we make the playoffs and poo poo it away next season because lolol Seattle sports

It’s Seattle baseball, they aren’t allowed to make the playoffs. Thems the rules.

As a fan of the Tacos, the shittiest team in blaseball by a wide margin, I am deeply invested in 3/4 of the team being incinerated and hope it happens every time they have a game. Being a fan of bad teams in this is better than real life because at least there's always a chance some bum gets sent to hell instead of getting an eight year extension because your GM is a dumb rear end.

One of the most incredible things that happened last season is when the Firefighters had three guys in one game have peanut allergies, only to have a bunch of amazing rerolling at the end of the season thanks to blessings. Went from almost dead last to nearly guaranteed playoff slot.

Blaseball is great, I love Blaseball. I'm cheering for the Baltimore Crabs, who are all about carcinization and antitheism. It's a very open and welcoming community of you're new to blaseball and don't know which team to cheer for.

The Hawaii Fridays are pretty chill too.

Does anyone get randomly signed out of the Blaseball site every 1-10 minutes?

I've missed a few last-minute bets as a result. Including one on the Garages' epic win right now. (I just jinxed it, didn't I.)

Yeah, I have a lot of log out issues. Lately (the past day or two) I've had to refresh the page to be able to get bets to load, or to watch the current game. Every time I refresh it logs me out.

Same here, however i say that with the caveat of "I don't actually want to lose any Wyatt. Or Mason. Or ESPECIALLY NaN, even though NaN might be the worst player in the league."

It's tough because I've grown weirdly attached to these disphits, but the team has a starting rotation where not a single pitcher has a rating above 1 and a half stars, the lineup came into the season with only four average to above average hitters (Breadwinner, Patel Beyonce, Rat Mason, and McDowell Mason) and got so unlucky with a feedback jolt that they somehow managed to get one of their four decent players taken. (Breadwinner, who by the numbers was having the best season of any of their players.)

So they have no star players (no 4 star players period), a mostly lovely lineup, and the worst rotation in the league. Some of these dudes need to get roasted.

Click the discord link in the upper right of the website to reach the main discord, you can assign yourself to the Tacos in the Choose Your Team channel.

Now is when to plan for Sunday. I expect that the Tacos will be getting either a free run at Home or a fourth strike for Season Five, and if things go your way in the election you could boost up significantly.

Go to the blaseball discord and click the choose your team tab and it will unlock the team discord for you.

As far as Sunday planning, the Tacos discord already has a plan for votes. Not sure I agree with it, but there is a plan.

Don't forget that outbidding everyone on blessings is just getting the most votes in a hat. The season 3 results were pretty nutty. The Jazz Hands won a blaserunning buff with 1% of the vote the Millennials had a 29% chunk of.
