History

Season 4 Decree

In Season 4, one of the Decree options was called Alternate Reality, which had the description: Randomize the stats of one hitter and one pitcher on every team. This Decree ended up being one of the Decrees won in Season 4, activating with the following message:

  • Alternate Reality passed with 52,343 votes and 23% of all decree votes.
    • The Alternates are called.
    • They take their places.
    • Reverberations build...

One batter and one pitcher on every team at the time was given the Alternate modification, and their stats were completely randomized.

Expansion Era

Wills

In the Expansion Era, Wills were offered to the fans for the first time as a new way to boost and affect their Team. Multiple Wills offered during the Era involved the Alternate modification. Those Wills are as follows:

  • Alternate
    • Call in an Alternate for a Player on your Team.
    • Offered from Season 12-14.
  • Alternate Trust
    • Call in an Alternate for a Player on your Team, with a mystery Benefit.
    • Offered from Season 15-19, with each season giving Players a different Benefit.
    • Seasons 18 and 19 gave Alternates the same Benefit though, which was Negative.
