Season 12 began on March 1, 2021. The regular season concluded on March 5th, 2021, followed by the postseason and 12th Internet Series on March 6th, 2021. The Beta/Season 12 election will take place on March 7, 2021. The Hades Tigers defeated the Seattle Garages 3 wins to 2 to win their third Internet Series championship.

Regular Events

Earlsiesta

See the main article on this topic: Earlsiesta

The three arcana drawn in Season 12 are as follows:

I The Magician
XII The Hanged Man
XIII Temperance

Once the website returned to normal, the Events Page showed that two players had received new Modifications. Curry Aliciakeyes of the Yellowstone Magic, corresponding to I The Magician, now has the Over Under Modification. Kennedy Rodgers of the Chicago Firefighters, corresponding to XIIII Temperance, now has the Under Over Modification. The Hellmouth Sunbeams, corresponding to XII The Hanged Man, seem not to have received any Modifications from their drawing.

Latesiesta

See the main article on this topic: Latesiesta

The first Latesiesta was a momentous occasion for the ILB, with the Baltimore Crabs descending from Blaseball 2, along with the Atlantis Georgias, Core Mechanics, and Ohio Worms. Furthermore, construction on the Chesapeake Racetrack and Ballpark was completed, and all other teams in the ILB were able to see their Ballpark names for the first time.

Notable Events

The Return

After a long Grand Siesta, Blaseball returned with a great deal of new systems and mechanics to mark the era of Peace & Prosperity. According to an issue of The Blaseball Beat, Blaseball has been gone for more than a decade. Fans speculate the absence of Blaseball is closer to 18 years, using the length of normal seasons as a measurement.

During its absence, new Ownership revamped several systems for Fans, seemingly in the interest of Fairness.

Concessions has replaced the old Shop, offering fans a new inventory called a Snack Pack. The Snack Pack can hold 8 items at once, such as votes, peanuts, and snacks that offer similar functionality to the Pendants previously sold. Fans can also purchase new items that allow them to look into the Shadows, participate in Wills, or draw Tarot Readings for the Earlsiesta. Fans can sell their items back to the Concessions as a reduced cost, thereby freeing up a slot in their Snack Pack. The Food and Beverage Director for Concessions is the Monitor. [1]

Joining the typical Decrees and Blessings are a new system called Wills. Wills are voted on by teams, with two granted to each team each season. Wills allow Fans to enforce their will on Blaseball by specifically targeting players on their favorite teams or opponents to shuffle players all around the league.

Each Season will also contain two siestas: the Earlsiesta after Day 27, and the Latesiesta after Day 72. The first Earlsiesta brought with it a Tarot Reading of I The Magician, XII The Hanged Man, and XIII Temperance, granting two new modifications, Over Under to Curry Aliciakeyes and Under Over to Kennedy Rodgers. The events of the Latesiesta are still unknown.

The Feed was introduced to Blaseball in Season 12 as well, a feature which catalogs notable events directly in the game, including speeches from NPCs.

During The Return, the Tacos were renamed as well, from the Unlimited Tacos to the LA Unlimited Tacos.

Construction of the Crabitat

See the main article on this topic: Ballparks

Following the Season 11 elections, when Fans elected to "Close! ...the Forbidden Book...", the Election Results noted that ground was broken on the Crabitat. The first Earlsiesta brought with it the opportunity for Fans of the Baltimore Crabs to build the first Ballpark, which was funded in approximately 15 minutes. Construction was completed on the Latesiesta following Day 72. All other teams were able to view their Ballparks during the first Latesiesta, and were able to begin contributing to their construction following Season 13, Day 27.

The Crabs Descend

See the main article on this topic: Ascension#Descension

On days 71 and 72, Fans noticed that sometimes, the Black Hole weather event shown for the next game was being switched out for Flooding, a brand new weather type in Season 12. The weather forecast would return to Black Hole before the games started, however Fans were on alert.

At the end of the Day 72 games, an emergency alert went off, suggesting that a Breach was imminent. Boss arrived to reassure Fans that We are actively monitoring the situation. As a precautionary measure We have activated Expansion protocols ahead of schedule. The Crabs had returned from Blaseball 2, and they brought with them three new teams: Atlantis Georgias, Core Mechanics, and Ohio Worms. Each new team had several championships to their name already, suggesting that they too were participants in Blaseball 2 due to winning three championships, much like the Crabs did to Ascend in Season 10. Following these events and the start of the first Latesiesta, Fans were greeted with a game log, detailing the events of the day. Additionally, Boss declared Blaseball to be in the Expansion Era.

Flooding

After the Crabs descended, additional Flooding occurred, which would have a chance of sweeping players off their bases, even sometimes sweeping them  Elsewhere.... Wishing to assure Fans of the sweeping floods, Boss said We have everything under control. Thanks to Our swift action Things seem to be leveling off. Rejoice! You can expect less Flooding in the Future.

Ongoing Decrees

  • Eat The Rich (Season 3): 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.
  • Enhanced Party Time (Season 6): When a team is in Party Time -- mathematically eliminated from the postseason -- they'll have a chance of receiving random permanent stat boosts during their games.
  • Wild Cards (Season 8): Every Season, a random team from each Subleague will leave Party Time to become the 5th Playoff team. A best of 3 Wild Card series will happen on Fridays.

Postseason

Four teams from each league advance to the post season: the winners of each division, and the next two best teams by win-loss record. As of Season 5, teams alternate home games with the higher seed hosting first. As of Season 9, a fifth team is chosen as a Wild Card. As of Season 11, the Wild Card and Division Series are played on Fridays and the Championship and Internet Series are played on Saturdays. The Wild Card round is a "first to two" wins series, while the other rounds are "first to three wins" due to the Black Hole and Sun 2 weather types.
