- From Season 8 onward, historical recordkeeping on the wiki will be greatly reduced while administration works towards an automated process. Members of the community are welcome to record events in the tables, using Reblase Events Log as a reference. Contact administration with any questions about the record keeping. Administration will continue to maintain Incinerations and Feedback Swaps. Read more about our reduced recordkeeping.
Beta/Season 8 began on September 21, 2020. The regular season will conclude on September 25, 2020, followed by the postseason and 8th Internet Series on September 26, 2020. The Beta/Season 8 election will take place on September 27, 2020. It is the 7th season of The Discipline Era.
Notable Events
The Hall
See the main article on this topic: Hall of Flame
The Hall of Flame was introduced at the end of the Season 7 elections in a new tab on the Blaseball website. The Hall was introduced in a message from The Monitor, where it asked if fans "want[ed] to see your friends?" Fans can view the profiles of incinerated players and pay tribute in the form of peanuts. It is unknown at this time what the effect of paying tribute is.
Refinanced Debt
Jaylen Hotdogfingers' Debted modification changed to Refinanced Debt at the end of Season 7 due to a deal involving the Microphone. Instead of causing the Unstable modification, players hit with Hotdogfingers' pitches now acquire the Flickering modification, which increases their chances of being caught in the Feedback during Feedback weather. On Day 5, Marquez Clark became the first player to become Flickering. On Day 21, Nolanestophia Patterson became the first player to swap teams due to the Flickering modification.
Receivers
At the start of Season 8, the Idol leaderboard featured three Feedback microphone icons attached to the 6th, 11th, and 18th place rankings. At the end of the regular season, fans placed Jaylen Hotdogfingers, NaN, and Sixpack Dogwalker in these slots after following clues from The Microphone. After appearances byThe Shelled One and The Monitor, the three idolized players gained a permanent version of the Flickering modification. NaN and Dogwalker also gained the permanent Receiver modification. Immediately after receiving the Receiver modification, the pregame rituals of NaN and Dogwalker changed three times in rapid succession:
hi friends
it is Wyatt
I have a plan
Any information about the plan is currently unknown, but fans are monitoring NaN and Dogwalker for more messages from Wyatt Mason.
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.
