| − | {{Modification}}
| |
| − | '''Fifth Base''' is a unique rule to Blaseball that places an additional base on the field which players are required to run through before reaching home plate.
| |
| − | ==Effect==
| |
| − | When the '''Fifth Base''' Modification is applied, lineup players must run five bases instead of the usual four. This results in the ability for players to hit a "Quadruple" (a hit allowing players to advance four bases) as well as a "Pentaslam" (A home run with a runner on all four bases, scoring five runs total).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first Pentaslam was hit on Season 10, Day 7 by Simon Haley of the Charleston Shoe Thieves during a game against the Philly Pies. It was awarded with the discovery of The 4-Blood [[Blagonball]].
| |
| − | ==History==
| |
| − | On the [[Season 7#Election Ballot|Season 7 Election Ballot]], '''Fifth Base''' was offered to the league as a decree. At that time, '''Fifth Base''' was not selected, with the vote going to '''Bless Off''' instead.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the [[Season 9#Election Ballot|Season 9 Election Ballot]], '''Fifth Base Bubble''' was offered to the league as a blessing, promising to protect the subleague of the team that won the blessing. The [[Baltimore Crabs]] won the blessing, protecting [[Wild League#Wild High|Wild High]], but exposing [[Mild League#Mild High|Mild High]], [[Mild League#Mild Low|Mild Low]], and [[Wild League#Wild Low|Wild Low]] to Fifth Base for the duration of [[Season 10]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Fifth Base would later appear in the [[Expansion Era]] as a part of the '''[[Fifth Base (Item)|Super Roamin' Fifth Base]]''' Blessing in the [[Season 19#election|Season 19 election]]. The Fifth Base could be placed by players, and in doing so the [[Ballpark]] that the Base was placed in would gain the Fifth Base modification until the Base was stolen once again.
| |
| − | ==Layout==
| |
| − | [[File:Fifth Base Diagram.jpg|alt=Players run through first, second, and third bases as normal, then they run away from home base to the fourth base, before running back past third to reach home.|thumb|right|]]
| |
| − | When '''Fifth Base''' is active, an extra plate is placed behind third plate, opposite from home plate. [[The Commissioner]] tweeted a diagram of the path players must run to reach home plate<ref>BLASEBALL COMMISSIONER [@blaseball] (12 Oct 2020). [https://twitter.com/blaseball/status/1315695654400745472?s=20 (Tweet)]- via Twitter.</ref>. Players run through first, second, and third plates as normal, then they run away from home plate to the fourth plate, before running back past third to reach home.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Blaseball simulation appears to account for the extra distance running to the fourth plate, with fourth plate being easier to steal, and home plate being harder to steal.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Sixth Base?==
| |
| − | The existence of a '''Sixth Base''' has been theorized but only observed in [https://reblase.sibr.dev/game/69e70c3d-4928-4fbe-b345-a638f57b51b3 extremely infrequent and unstable conditions]. It is not known whether a sixth base can remain stable for macroscopic lengths of time.
| |
| − | ===Seventh Base?===
| |
| − | Even rarer is the sighting of a '''Seventh Base''', which has only been seen when [[Quack Enjoyable]] refused to go home in [https://reblase.sibr.dev/game/259150c5-e086-4d6c-b2da-80b576885059#e6d37189-3fff-95b2-a542-1266836a1f64 for unknown reasons].
