Out of the Breach!
Fans of the Baltimore Crabs planted the flag for their Crabitat (despite multiple warnings) and caused a surge of Immateria to Flood the Plane, sweeping the cantankerous crustaceans back into the league with three New Teams in tow -- the Georgias, Mechanics, and Worms!

Expansion Protocols Activated
Flooding saw runners swept from play and fan-favorites swept Elsewhere. Ownership was forced to activate Expansion Protocols, greenlighting Ballpark construction league-wide. Experts suggest that things may already be leveling off, thanks to the league’s swift action.

do peanuts do anything? and what's up with all the peanut fraud today?

Peanuts!

It was a bit of a kerfuffle today, but the stage was set back at the end of Season 1. Participants voted to "open the Forbidden Book":

https://twitter.com/blaseballcomms/status/1287463776896180225

The effects of the Forbidden Book are still being felt today, and indeed are seemingly growing worse - if only due to our hubris.

At the end of Season 2, Participants voted to enact the decree known as "Peanuts", which added the ability to purchase and eat peanuts (a squirrel can be purchased to help you eat peanuts twice as fast). Peanuts also rained from the skies during games, and multiple players have had allergic reactions. Initially the price of peanuts in the store fluctuated - including occasionally being able to sell back peanuts - leading some to believe that the peanuts were some system akin to stocks. The market has apparently settled at one coin to one peanut. Taking inspiration from the texts of the Book another theory surrounding the peanuts is that the participants may atone for reading the Forbidden Book by collectively purchasing and eating 1,000,000 peanuts. A group of Participants that have been deeply digging behind the scenes even found two potential results of peanut collection and consumption.

That brings us to today, when it was brought to light that some Participants were taking advantage of some weaknesses in the system and had managed to give themselves nigh-infinite amounts of coins and using it to purchase everything including votes and peanuts.

Almost immediately, the first "Peanut Fraud" shutdown occured, while the loophole was addressed. Almost immediately after Blaseball resumed (in the middle of day 4 gameplay in fact!) the second Peanut Fraud shutdown began, after it appeared that a few Participants were still manipulating themselves into millionaires and/or peanutillionaires.

https://twitter.com/blaseballcomms/status/1290394609957220352

When Blaseball returned, the situation had... evolved. We were greeted with simply the word BLASPHEMY and then allowed to watch a few games after which several player incinerations occured. Peanuts still fall from the sky (now occasionally absent in the presence of overwhelming flocks of sinister birds), but now they are only available in the store in a bulk order of 1,000,000 peanuts for 1,000,000 coins - removing the ability to atone slowly over time. We - one of us - will now need to save up for, purchase, and eat all 1,000,000 peanuts at once.

We are lost on the immaterial plane of Blaseball.

https://twitter.com/blaseballcomms/status/1290483168013770753

-----

TL;DR
  • We may need to collectively purchase and eat 1,000,000 peanuts in order to atone for opening the Forbidden Book.
  • Some Participants abused a weakness to freely give themselves money and/or peanuts.
  • The loophole has been closed, but the Blaseball Gods are angry disappointed and have sent birds.

This is hopefully a bit tongue-in-cheek from a "player" Twitter account, but folks get a bit too attached to characters now and then. Please do not get real-life upset about Blaseball.

about half the league just went down the Black Hole, this is likely why there were so many "Warning: Things happening during the week are not going to be final" notices this week. I'm sure the really engaged Discord lore people are tearing their hair out.
