I'd also assume that unless you are trying to hoard coins for some future expense (like one million peanuts), there's a theoretical maximum that anyone needs depending on your risk tolerance. Assuming 8000 coins bet per hour, what's your preferred multiplier? 1.5x? 2x? More?

Of course, you can always quickly liquidate it should an Eat the Rich pop up again.

Jesus this is addictive. I really want the Tacos to get good, if I were to vote for a blessing or something at the end of the season, I wonder which would be most advantageous for them.

Best recommendation for now is to go on the Discord and join the Tacos channels. There you can see what the fans are prioritizing for the Elections.

However, it's probably best to focus on boosting your max bet until you can put down 800 on a game. Once you are that point the rest can be funneled into votes. That's what I did, I started late Thursday night in Season 3 and hit max this afternoon. (I also bought 1k peanuts.)

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.

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.

InnercityGriot posted:

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.

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.

I remember some of the stat guys were trying to answer that very question, and found that it would have changed the result of one game in the season across the entire league. So, not a huge penalty, especially if they continue to be an above-average team.

But since decrees apparently carry over from season to season, the Firefighters are going to carry that forward forever and they might not always be this strong.

I think Targeted Shame shifts to the Top 4 at the end of the current Season, so if the Firefighters or Millenials or whoever drop out then someone else will get the Shame.

Very possible. The devs could be making certain punishments a single season for the trial run, and once they see it action and the players are aware of its impact then it could become a potential permanent rule. Something like ETR that doesn't affect with core Blaseball gameplay so it can be easily made Core on Election.

Personally, I think everything has been changing so dramatically each season that I will wait and see what the Blood Bath does before freaking out.

That's the thing. We don't know how the Idols will come into play at the end(?) of the Season. (I doubt that any Idols will be sacrificed prior to the end of the playoffs, but this is Blaseball.)

Like others, my guess is that the top Idols get sacrificed. The game needs a pressure valve mechanic to get rid of players that dominate the game. Plus, it would potentially keep a team from controlling the league because there's no way they could stop the other teams from picking the best player because it makes the most economic sense in the game. I mean, I love you Baby Urlacher but I'm going to siphon coins off of Nagomi Mcdaniel until the are led into Bloodhouse.

I imagine the last couple days of this season are going to be nuts with people scrambling to change up the top 3 in hopes they save their beloved players and get rid of a rival.

If I were the devs (I'm not) I'd make the Idol Top 3 be based on the number of payouts during the season. If you switch mid-season the totals you accumulated for that Idol will remain, you'll just start adding to the new idol's current value. I don't know how to balance that between Hitting and Pitching, however.

I have to hope that the Devs have something up their sleeve. They have to be aware of the Crabs' dominance and the situation in Wild Low. The Bloodbath rules are still hidden, hopefully after the removal of the top 3 idols their stars/blood is passed down to the lowest couple of teams?
