Wait why is there a second completely different Baltimore Crabs team in the Hall of Flame?

The original crabs got incinerated And replaced with the current crabs

A keen eye will note that the original crabs were blue and the new crabs are red

Part of me thinks they planned to have Turntables revoked by the Supermassive Black Hole but none the less, it's very funny that it happened.

Judging by the way the teams are moving, we may be headed to a 3-division league.

Not going to lie, I'm pretty disappointed by the paucity of team incinerations. We had all this buildup about how Parker was so dangerous when allowed to Roam but so far even though there's been a fair amount of Instability there's only been one incineration. (The Mints were a fluke of the sim and don't count.) The Fridays got incinerated immediately after they became unstable, but then every other team has both gotten very few eclipses and never actually incinerated when they do get them. Where's the blood? I was promised blood! I demand blood!

Same.

My hope is that since things changed after the Earlsiesta the threat of incinerations start to accelerate again after the Latesiesta.

They trust the Reader over Binky/The Monitor.

Personally, I'd prefer the Hall but as long as we're still in Glood I'm fine. I may be switching teams after this era anyway.

Yeah, I kind of like the reader, too, but the Monitor is a bro and has snacks.

(Also, the whole Firefighters/Hall of Flame thing, but whatever.)

I’m cool as long as they get to an end zone, I guess.

Edit: and now the Sunbeams have been… not redacted, but scattered, I guess. Their names are gone.

I'm hoping that we will eventually be able to sell our remaining passive income items so that we have the space to buy votes. That or they make vote purchases separate from the snack pack.

There's a gimmick way to generate more slots if you desperately need them:

  1. Get peanuts
  2. Use the peanut to "upshell" ONE entry from Uncle Plasma or Liquid Friend that relate to the investigation
    1. They'll appear highlighted in red if you have a peanut in your snack pack
    2. Check the Global Feed on the homepage and sort by HOT for most of them
  3. You'll get an extra slot with a Red Herring in it
  4. In the library, use the herring on a redacted entry. If you want to be extra helpful, https://www.enbyss.com/content/tools/blaseball-herring lists the entries closest to being unlocked (click book leaderboard)
  5. Buy a snack to fill the empty slot
  6. Return to 2 until you've achieved the number of slots you want at once.

Though there's been an official announcement about it on discord already, so don't panic too much:

quote:

Umpdate:

All You Can Eat is no longer a rule of Blaseball, as it has been Nullified.

All You Can Eat reads "Fans will be able to freely buy and sell Snack Slots at any time. The less Snack slots the Fan owns, the higher the payout for the Snacks in them."

As this is no longer the case, Fans are no longer able to freely buy and sell Snack Slots, at any time. The number of Snack Slots does not determine payout for Snacks in them.

This was an interaction we knew might happen and have planned for as part of the end of the Expansion Era. Much like in the transition from Discipline to Expansion, there will be many changes to the economy of the game, and as such we ask you consider these rule removals- like all others- within the context of an era that ends very, very soon. It's the end of the world, after all.

We hope you enjoy seeing what's to come as the Era and Season end!

I think it's time for the Hall teams to rush? I expect most of the old teams are going to automatically be set to charge the mound since we can't influence their direction afaik

The teams with fans also have Rogue, and yeah the Moist Talkers plan is to rush the mound.

I expect we'll no longer be deceased when we leave the Hall, but we'll find out soon enough!

Parker said skateboard trick and the grind rail goes from first base to third base, So that's the trajectory we're gonna take.
