it's more like several things, as far as I understand? the wiki's getting rebuilt, they're doing a merch store, they've got a few things to implement from the last decree (and work on the other ideas that they had), plus other potential secrets and it's also the holidays

Memnaelar posted:So, is there any sort of... readable primer for starting blaseball? I just joined after seeing it all over my Twitter feed, randomly picked a team and idol whose names sounded cool... and now? this video is a good rundown of everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5t8DwnDE1k but basically you bet on games while they're happening, and spend your coins on improving your bets/voting for things in the store. there is a long offseason happening right now to improve the game in various ways; to make things go a little better they're doing an exhibition tourney every tuesday with new teams with players reassigned based on their coffee preferences the rest of it is immersing yourself in fan content that's getting made about and around it, usually by poking around the wiki and the discord that brings me to why i came to this thread today: the garages did a live set for desert bus for hope and it was fantastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur3xIfbsYxM the live album of that set is also up (plus bonus tracks), proceeds also go to the charity

i like AYCE if just for not having to micromanage anything if you don't have to + i don't like it when blaseball gets fiddly

doing things to gently caress around and find out instead of whatever is the Best Thing Possible is how some of the best stuff in blaseball has started, like when everyone decided to practice necromancy

A Single Sphink posted:The Steaks, Millennials and Crabs at the very least, according to The Game Band. They had fans duping coins. you misunderstood at least part of this, people were hopping teams and buying stuff some of which were intentionally sabotage

i'm at least glad they put percentages on the votes so that if someone gets really mad about something happening people can go 'yo this had a vanishingly small chance of happening and it's not some organized campaign to gently caress you over specifically'

those accounts aren't "official" accounts and i think you're just projecting a little bit as well the way to think about it is that the game is set up so that weird/bad votes have a chance at winning, and the fact that those votes win out doesn't mean that the entire team's fanbase wanted that specific result to happen especially because thinking that way has led to people being real poo poo to others after recent elections

i think the part where i disagree on is calling it "sabotage" as if it was an organized and concerted attempt instead of one or two people possibly swapping teams and voting badly. it's the difference between wishing that one dude could get hosed and thinking an entire team's fanbase is corrupt and deserves to be punished locking wills voting if you've fluted that season should at least make people think about it differently even if it doesn't do anything in practice

how exactly do you expect a large team to organize several hundred people to gently caress over a different team without anyone else being aware of it

i'm talking about the rest of the fanbase and TGB hearing about it

i think there's a difference between 'unfair' in terms of the game's whims rolling stuff away and 'unfair' in terms of 'i blame specific people for the bad thing that happened to me' and the latter's where things get lovely i do wish people just let it bounce off instead of having it bug them though

please be chill about blaseball and don't genuinely get upset to the point where you're accusing a team of somehow 'selling out'

Squall posted:Chorby Soul's plunder was 9,462 votes. The Uncle Plasma foreshadowing from the Breath Mints was 270,899 votes within a window of about 30 minutes. I bought 18,000 votes just on my own at the end of last season. but what if people want to ignore facts and yell at people anyway

be in a discord server that has a blaseball channel and then every time someone goes 'holy poo poo' ask them what happened today i found out parker used to be a player and murdered his entire team by accident

the core gameplay loop is in fact weird things happening to these simulated players. that's what makes it blaseball and not actual sports

i think it's extremely too early to come down on one side or the other about that. we barely know anything about what they have in store for the future and the actual game part has been live for one full day
