Beta/Season 3
< Beta
Season 3 of Internet League Blaseball began on Monday, August 3, 2020. The regular season is scheduled to end on Friday, August 7, 2020. The postseason and the 3rd Internet Series is scheduled to start on Saturday, August 8, 2020. It is the second season of the Discipline Era, and the first season of the Peanut Plague. Following the day of Blasphemy, it became the first season of Uncertainty.
Notable Events
Peanut Plague
See the main article on Peanut Plague.
Peanut Plague is the first subtitle of The Discipline Era, appearing at the opening pitch of Season 3 (August 3, 2020) and following the successful Season 2 decree known as Peanuts. This period also introduced several more participation elements revolving around peanuts, such as peanuts as an item type, peanuts as a weather type, and peanuts as an allergic reaction.
Peanut Fraud
See the main article on Peanut Fraud.
On Season 3 Day 2 (August 3, 2020), play was interrupted following the discovery of Peanut Fraud. Internet League Blaseball officials have announced play would not resume until the peanut cheaters have repented. Due to the inevitability of blaseball, play resumed soon after; however the peanut cheaters did not come forward. This indignity lives on forever in the memory of the Blaseball Gods.
Blasphemy
See the main article on Blasphemy.
During the Internet League downtime of August 3, 2020, all website display pages were replaced with a large rotating image of The Peanut; below which was scrawled in red text the word 'BLASPHEMY' in addition to a string of letters in a dark-dark-grey color. Blaseball fans speculate that these letters represent recently incinerated blaseball players.
Uncertainty
The meaning of Uncertainty is uncertain.
Uncertainty is the second subtitle of The Discipline Era, appearing on August 3, 2020 as an apparently direct response to the Peanut Fraud and Blasphemy incident. The state of the splort following the period of Uncertainty is one of great uncertainty. This period has marked the introduction of Lots of Birds as a weather type, who are seemingly attracted to peanuts. This period also seems to coincide with increasing incidents of blaseball player incinerations (although it is possible there is no causation at work.)
The Grand Unslam
See the main article on The Grand Unslam.
On Season 3 Day 73 (August 6, 2020), a lengthy game between the Charleston Shoe Thieves and the Los Angeles Tacos became the longest game (by minutes played) to date, and went on to produce a temporal phenomena. At the bottom of the 15th inning, play was interrupted by a Bad Gateway event, prompting an official pause by umpires. Players were then visited by messages from The Peanut, similar to the Blasphemy event above.
When regular play resumed three hours later, the standings reflected that the two teams had 75 total games played by the end of Day 74—one more game than the rest of the league. Fans began to dub the events surrounding the extra, unseen game as The Grand Unslam.
Ongoing Decrees
Following the Season 2 Election, the following decrees are in place for Season 3:
- Fourth Strike: All Batters on the bottom four teams of the previous Season's standings gain a Fourth Strike. It will take four strikes to strike them out, as opposed to three for every other team. The teams benefitting from a Fourth Strike are the New York Millennials, the Kansas City Breath Mints, the Hellmouth Sunbeams and the San Francisco Lovers.
- Peanuts: Peanuts
