DelilahFlowers posted:My boy joe got traded away for nobody Howell Franklin. while he has a wicked batting arm, he has no personality. Sucks real bad, especially all that work Joe put in to fit on the team after being traded in seasons prior. Now he has to fit in with the mysterious weirdos on the spies. Honestly, kind of following my boy Joe more than the Shoe Thieves at this point. we'll do our best! We don't send out as much spies lore as we should but we'll try to make sure Joe does well! And if you haven't seen the blessing list for next season yet, Blastron, it looks like there's going to be a lot of stuff intentionally designed as balancing points, so stay tuned!

I hadn't even considered whatever it might do would trigger after game nine/nine games, just that it might only take place in that time. We'll see.

Once all the tacos are off the board they can just initiate a push to get an arbitrary other player onto the board, which should push them down to 21

The spies have successfully convinced the discord it's in their best interests to stick out worst player in the #14 idol slot. We ran a scheme that got everyone on board to get rid of our worst player to save theirs.

We're the spies so we're calling it a scheme because that's more spy-like. It may have indeed been mutually beneficial but, you know , still a scheme for the theming

I'm kind of disappointed that the tacos are pushing back on the framing of things as a strike, especially because it's caused the release of graphics that really look like stuff Amazon would put out to explain how there's Definitely Not A Labor Dispute or the like. It's their team, they're allowed, but it kinda grosses me out? IDK, it's not the end of the world, just a bit disappointing.

I believe due to the pitching rotation working really weirdly right now they pitch two then wheerer pitches four.

well... our hitting is still good? That's something, at least. Sure, the defense that made us powerhouses is gone, and so is our pitching buff... but, you know! that's blaseball!

I dislike the new weathers, it makes it feel impossible to know how to bet. Nothing seems to work consistently at all. I can deal with modifiers not being reflected in ratings but not having to consider score resets if you do too good.

Blaseball reference stats aren't quite accurate this season, but you can view stats for all past seasons there. They're working on getting it fixed for this one.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Do we know which team cheated? They're referencing real life baseball, with respect to how real life LA Dodgers were beaten by the Houston Astros, who were cheating by using elaborate methods to steal other teams' signs, though everyone kind of does this and it's up in the air if it actually even helped, but it certainly was a rude move they got caught doing. Incidentally, this is why the Blaseball team from houston is the Houston Spies.

Lone Goat posted:I'm trying to think of a situation where you'd want to call in an Alternate a player for any purpose other than to gently caress with a team, since there's so many other better options to deal with a bad player. There's been one alternate used. The use case is if you want to keep a character for lore reasons but their fk stats are unsalvageable. The one time it was used cory 12 somehow went from one of the worst pitchers to possibly the best ever naturally rolled pitcher. Then accidentally got traded away.

They're at least working on stuff to balance it out for small teams and protect yourselves, as said in the same post.

Yeah, though that kind of takes way from it being a thing about individual agency and letting people who aren't totally in with the zeitgeist of their team but still eat to help them in their own way contribute.

The crabs won a blessing last season that cancelled out flinch. And the season they dominated they win fourth strike, which cancelled it out as well.

My team, the Spies, keeps a set of debriefs we write daily that tend to cover more details. some stuff is spies specific but it tends to cover most of the weird stuff. https://houstonspies.cyou/category/debriefs/

marhom posted:I feel like we should be talking about the line in the blaseball beat again that is either the official front office tone being used to gently caress with us or TGB doing that thing again where they do some really clever wordplay that has functionally been staring us in the face forever. Sometimes you realize you can make a funny bit out of something you did ages ago and you go for it. I respect TGB's power.

An entire team dying at 'normal' size (9 batters, 5 pitchers 11 shadow players) is worth as much as an old incineration. Ominous!

I'm guessing it's slow for now so they can adjust it up if they hit whatever their ideal release date is or keep it low if they need more time.

Supposedly any bet should be on average a slight profit but of course overdogs are more reliable, and the game traditionally seems to underestimate how likely the better team is to win, especially when that team is like the wings, absurdly better.
