Possible controversial opinion, but you know the Commissioner? I think they’re doing a great job.

I wonder what fresh madness that will bring to us this season.

There’s already some very interesting plans being discussed, and as someone for whom the main attraction of the game is the creativity of its fans, I am immensely excited, and we haven’t even kicked off yet.

“Party Time” is when a team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs with games still to run. Introduced this season is “Enhanced Party Time”, where a team in Party Time games could receive a buff to one of their player’s stats about 6%-9% across the board, seemingly permanently. When this triggers the message “X is partying!” shows. Thus, they are parting.

Apparently a player can also party too hard and lose stats, but isn’t that true of all parties?

Shame, that first Shoe Thieves/Garages game with Morse pitching could’ve been one for the record books of highest score. Thieves can’t swing without a strike, and Morse can’t throw a strike. Infinite walking.

In fairness, having too excessive a slowmode hinders the useful discussions there could be without straining the moderators too much. When most of the advice comes to “just join your team’s side-server to avoid it”, there might be an issue there. I know I’d rather have discussions on fan lore than just 6 hour spaced pictures of bears, the Bee Movie script, or whatever.

Using the incineration of Sutton Picklestein (RIV) as a marketing opportunity is a choice.

This has been the case for basically every incineration, except the backfire on the Umpire which was played straight, from memory.

Unless you’re referring to the character of The Commissioner, and not the real actual person behind the Twitter account; in which case, carry on.

Meanwhile, someone on the SIBR discord is contacting TGB to ask them to change the name because Groverhaus is ~prooooblematiiiiccc~. Which is just silly to me. If Groverhaus is too toxic for you than 90% of the internet must be a terrifying place.

Looks like Groverhaus is now Gildehaus.

And some incinerations happened that people are upset about.

You bet on the games that will be playing next, not ones that are currently running. As for the Idol thing, the first time is free, and each subsequent pick costs 200 coins; the trick is you need 200 coins first. And yeah, have to wait until all games are finished.

Begging also only works if you have exactly 0. Even 1 coin will throw an error. But there’s been some issue with things not appearing until you refresh, so maybe that’s it?

I just tried again and nothing. Refreshed. Made sure no games were running. 0 coins. Still getting an error when I try to idolize and still getting nothing when I click Free in the shop for Breadcrumbs.

Yeah, so if you’ve never picked an idol you need 200 coins. It doesn’t use them the first time, but the system checks against if you have them. Since you’ve got 0, you’re failing that check.

I don't own any breadcrumbs. I'm clicking on the Get button in shop to try and get some, but nothing's happening. I'm not getting any.

Nothing in your inventory? You only get the one, and then you go into your profile (the blue chair on a pink background on the bottom of the page) to actually beg.

Sorry for the double post, but I had a thought. Do you have to claim your winnings from bets somewhere? Maybe I can't get breadcrumbs because I'm not technically broke because I have winnings I haven't claimed?

They get automatically added. Do you have a free slot open? There’s been a mechanic added to change how many slots you have for items that might’ve been affecting it. Could always vote on something for your team, and open that slot up if not?
(New slots cost coins, and can affect the payout modifier. For example, I only have three slots, but everything pays out 350%. Or I know someone who had 26 slots, and everything paid out 0%, ie: nothing)

I haven’t been following the Discord. What’s this about a lore ban? I thought that lore was 90% of the reason the Discord existed.


Yeah, a few teams had to scramble to organise spaces they didn’t think they would need. I assume it’s because there seems to be more of an emphasis on player movement now. Lore being messy could be explained by an entire team roster changing week to week, rather than the slow drips of incineration or regular trades.

(a "fun" side note is that there are teams that straight-up don't have an official place to talk lore now, having previously decided to ban it from their sidecords in order to keep everything public/in one place/etc and being very un-eager to reverse this decision in light of the reasoning provided above)

Yeah, I could only screenshot so much.

But the Moist Talkers are a good example of this; we didn’t even have a sidecord until this came out. And I know there were other teams in the same boat.

Is betting on the underdog not a good idea at the moment? I've been putting all my money into long shot bets hoping for big payouts, but I'm not anywhere close to breaking even on most tickets.

Turns out betting on favourites is actually paying out accurately in the long run.
