Season 3 of Internet League Blaseball began on Monday, August 3, 2020. The regular season concluded on Friday, August 7, 2020, followed by the postseason and the 3rd Internet Series on Saturday, August 8, 2020. It is the second season of the Discipline Era.

Initially, Season 3 was titled the season of the Peanut Plague; however, following the day of Blasphemy, it became the season of Uncertainty.

Season 3 was followed by the Grand Siesta, an extended hiatus declared by Blaseball officials.

Notable Events

The Blasphemy Peanut screen displayed following the detected Peanut Fraud. The letters have been highlighted for clarity.

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. Officials had 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 period of Uncertainty ended at the conclusion of Season 3, when it was replaced with the period of Drought.

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.

This event had tremendous consequences on the cosmos that were only apparent at the end of the season, such as Spacetime tearing Los Angeles into a single infinite cit(ies).

Ongoing Decrees

Following the Season 2 election, the following decrees were 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.

Incinerations

When any player is in a match during a Solar Eclipse, there is a chance they will be incinerated and killed by a Rogue Umpire. Known cases of this in Season 3 are listed below.

Peanut Reactions

When any player is in a match during Peanut weather, there is a chance they will "swallow a stray peanut" and experience a permanent physical reaction, called either an Allergic Reaction or a Yummy Reaction. Known cases of this in Season 3 are listed below.
