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.

Siti Wardah

Siti Wardah (see-tee wahr-dah), nicknamed “CT”, became a Patron after mistaking the Emblem Warhorse as a meetup place for nerds interested in the study of historical emblems and/or the involvement of horses in war. Initially embarrassed by her blunder, Siti started frequenting the bar for its welcoming community and atmosphere instead.

A trans feminine (she/her) Malay American of 27 years, she works as a shelver in a library close to the bar. She regards the blaseball historian Lōotcrates as a personal enemy, quoted as having said: “I’d like nothing more than to take a whack at them, like the piñata at my 13th birthday party! Except this time with a bat, or maybe even my crowbar… oh, whoops.”

Siti refuses to give any comment on her apparent ownership of a crowbar.

Harbouring a secret interest in the Javanese “Kuda Kepang/Lumping” traditional dance, the other Patrons encouraged Siti to be more open with her hobby, to which she happily obliged. Consequentially, she will make anyone a tiny paper version of the eponymous “kuda” if they ask her nicely for one. But they have to be nice. Or else.

The majority of her time spent at the bar is now dedicated to learning and practicing the dance, the other Patrons cheering her on and sometimes even joining in. Siti has declared fellow bar regular Lemon Lime in particular as her favourite dance practice partner, the two of them often tearing up the dance floor with their rattan horses.

Trivia:

• She is a teetotaller, so she won’t take alcoholic drinks. However, she does enjoy a good virgin bloody mary, which she refers to as “fancy tomato soup, but, like, cold for some reason?” It’s unknown if she understands that bloody mary is in fact, a drink, and not a soup.
• Her instrument is the angklung, and she keeps a single-pitch angklung at the Emblem Warhorse’s storeroom. Her emblem is on a brooch that she pins onto her shawl.
• Despite being a Patron of the Emblem Warhorse, Siti doesn’t actually play blaseball. Instead, when she gets spat out by the bar when it’s her turn to play, she simply goes and takes a seat in the stands, necessitating another Patron to come through and play for her. This is entirely intentional on her part; why the Emblem Warhorse allows for this is unknown, but it may or may not involve her entirely hypothetical ownership of a crowbar.
• Being a huge fan of horses, Siti gets very excited when Summers Pony is up to bat.
