Beta/Season 4
< Beta
Season 4 began on August 24, 2020. The regular season will conclude on August 28, followed by the postseason and 4th Internet Series on August 29. It is the 3rd season of The Discipline Era.
Notable Events
Drought
Drought is the third subtitle of the Discipline Era, appearing after the Season 3 election when the league announced that an extended siesta will delay the start of Season 4. No games took place for two weeks so that the umpires and other league staff could have the opportunity to work on large-scale maintenance and to rest their tired flesh.
Despite the hiatus, The Commissioner still actively communicated with Blaseball fans on behalf of the league. This includes The Unmasoning, an event in which The Commissioner attempted to repair The Wyatt Masoning with the help of fans on Twitter.
Feedback
Feedback is the fourth subtitle of the Discipline Era, appearing the day prior to Season 4's opening games. This introduced the new weather condition, called feedback, that has a chance of swapping the allegiances of two players on opposing teams.
Blagonballs
During the Extended Siesta preceding Season 4, residents of the Bloodhouse discovered a Five-Blood Blagonball, an artifact of unknown origin and power. Later during the season, on Day 23, Sandie Turner of the New York Millennials discovered the Three-Blood Blagonball during a game against the Charleston Shoe Thieves. Nothing else is currently known about the Blagonballs.
#PARTYTIME
On the final day of the season, the Boston Flowers and Unlimited Tacos played a 24-inning, 65 minute game that marked the first known instance of Spillover. Both teams played 21 scoreless innings en route to a 2-1 victory for the Flowers, headlined by the pitching of King Weatherman. As both teams had been eliminated from playoff contention far before the contest, fans dubbed this game #PARTYTIME. Tacos fans in particular refer to this game as "24 and Infinite" after the team's slogan.
Ongoing Decrees
Following the Season 3 election, the following decrees will be in place for Season 4:
- Eat The Rich: Funds from the top 1% of coin-havers will be redistributed to the remainder of Fans at the end of the postseason. This decree will remain in effect indefinitely.
- Interviews: Additional player information is available when clicking their name on the lineup. The Microphone has gained sentience. Additional effects remain to be seen. The appearance of feedback weather may be related to "the microphone lifting."
