COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Background

Emblem Warhorse describes many things: a bar, a band, a Blaseball player, but most importantly, a community. The Emblem Warhorse is a dive bar in Seattle, and Emblem Warhorse is a collective of people who have at some point in their life found refuge within its walls, becoming Patrons of The Emblem Warhorse. Patrons can be found doing a variety of activities, including (but certainly not limited to) celebrating after a minor league blaseball game, chatting with fellow motorcycle gang members, performing in the group's band (titled Emblem Warhorse), performing at the bar's drag shows under the moniker Emblem Warhorse, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the bar. A watchful reader may have noticed that some of these activities involve being named Emblem Warhorse; this stems from the bar’s motto: “If you’re here, you’re Emblem Warhorse.” Upon entering the bar, one's name becomes Emblem Warhorse for the duration of one's stay. All are Emblem Warhorse. All is Emblem Warhorse.

Warhorses who frequent the bar often note having never seen the bar before finding it, despite it being located across the street from the Queen Anne Dicks Drive In. Some speculate the bar is only visible when one is truly prepared to find it. The exception to this rule is when the bar hosts events, though visitors who are not meant to become a Patron often find themselves shooed out the door by The Emblem Warhorse itself. Visitors have reported experiencing this phenomenon differently, some finding chairs feeling more uncomfortable, others noticing the water tasting off or the music being just a little too loud. Some have taken to challenging The Emblem Warhorse, ready to prove themselves worthy candidates of the Emblem Warhorse name. It is unclear at this point if any such challenges have been successful.

After the name Emblem Warhorse appeared on the Seattle Garages active roster, at least one Warhorse has been chosen to play in each Garages game. How a Warhorse is chosen for play on a given day is unclear, as Patrons have given conflicting reports. It is possible that there is no clear way of deciding play, or that it changes from day to day. Some cite a competitive game of dlarts, others claim they simply feel the compulsion to pick up the bat and head out the doors.

Qualifications of becoming an Emblem Warhorse

Of the players who take up the moniker Emblem Warhorse, only two things are consistent:

• They have at one point in time been considered a regular at The Emblem Warhorse, and have been deemed worthy.

• They are required to wear the Emblem, a design featuring an upside-down chess knight, somewhere on their person.

The bar has a strict no quadruped policy, though there have been known instances of quadruped Emblem Warhorses managing to get around this rule.

Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse

Many people and beings have come to take up the moniker of Emblem Warhorse throughout time, as deemed worthy by The Emblem Warhorse bar. Below is one such Warhorse.

TROJAN_WRHS

The digital program known as TROJAN_WRHS first encountered the physical establishment known as the Emblem Warhorse by complete accident. A faulty geolocation drive, stuck pointing exclusively northwest, led them astray from their original target, the physical establishment known as the Warhorse Emblem, a notorious “hot tub club”/arcade located somewhere in the city of Dark Seattle. TROJAN’s sole directive was to locate said arcade of ill repute and shut it down, removing all illegal equipment, up to and including any pinball machines ¹, from the interior. When TROJAN arrived at the Emblem Warhorse, some thousand cubic inter-dimensional miles and a gum wall barrier away from their original target, their confused optical sensors located exactly zero pinball machines in the bar and concluded that their mission was complete. From then on, they had very little idea of what to do with themselves.

TROJAN settled down at the Emblem Warhorse bar as they did not know where they would be situated in the city and found the kindness of the other Patrons to be welcoming. They had little trouble acclimating to non-corporate existence in Seattle, as their allegiance was strictly limited to their directive, now complete. Their struggle lay more in determining their purpose, which suddenly lay vacant.

In an attempt to find a new purpose for themselves as a Patron, TROJAN began training in the art of mixology from fellow Patrons Madam Warhorse and Emmie, and has learned a few tricks along the way, sometimes balancing several drinks at once on the face of their compass as a tray. TROJAN has also picked up a few tips on artificial existence from their friend and mentor, Oliver Notarobot, who has given them advice on how to stand up for themselves if ever questioned on their right to be Lightside or in the bar itself, though the latter is less pertinent, as the Emblem Warhorse and its Patrons have all heartily accepted TROJAN as a friend and compatriot.

TROJAN can often be found plugged into the wall next to the bar’s ATM to charge up during off-hours, and they appreciate some good peace and quiet when visitors and non-Patrons are absent. Their Emblem is a glowing circuit pattern on their right arm. They occasionally play in the Emblem Warhorse band, using the holographic broken compass disk that contains their code locus² as a makeshift and somehow off-tune tambourine. They get along well with Fammy and War, and venture outside the bar on occasion (holding a sun parasol in one hand despite the grey skies) to pick up dog and cat food for them, respectively.

TROJAN’s favorite cocktail still includes sparkling Arrow Cola from the other side of the Gumwall, which the bar mysteriously stocks for them and them alone under the counter.

¹ As we all know, pinball is banned in Dark Seattle.

² It is not advised to pick up TROJAN's compass disc and throw it like a frisbee. They will probably cry.
