Gamma 3 is the 2nd full Short Circuit. It began on December 6, 2021, and concluded on December 9, 2021 when the Microphone shorted out. It composed of 1 season lasting two weeks. It saw the introduction of A Shelled One, the Tutorial, Mild Cards, Snow, and a new schedule.
History
Since it began in Season 1, Gamma 3 ran for 1 Season.
Annoucement
Gamma 3 was annouced on the November 15, 2021 Inside a Blaseball livestream.[2][3]
Known Seasons
- Season 1 (December 6–19, 2021)
Ending
Notable Additions
Two Week Seasons
Previously, each in-game Season ran 1 real-life week. This was changed in Gamma 3, wherein each season ran for 2 real-life weeks. Teams would still play 99 game per regular Season, but the amount of Days in a regular Season was increased to 166. This meant that Teams would not play every hour. Likewise, an Election would continue to be held every real-life week, for a total of 2 Elections per season.[4] Additionally, no games where played on Saturdays, whereas previously Saturdays hosted Round 3 of the Postseason and the Internet Series. This resulted in the following schedule for Gamma 3:[4]
- Monday, Dec 6 through Friday, Dec 10 — Games 1 through 63
- Sunday, Dec 12 — Election 1
- Monday, Dec 13 through Wednesday, Dec 15 — Games 64 through 99
- Thursday, Dec 16 through Friday, Dec 17 — Postseason
- Sunday, Dec 19 — Election 2
In the Short Circuits Developer Log #2, The Game Band stated that the new Schedule was introduced to make Blaseball "less of a time commitment", more sustainable, and to allow them to "change the structure and schedule more often and more easily".[4]
Onboarding
See the main article on this topic: Tutorial
The Tutorial, also referred to aOnboarding, was a new feature that guided new and existing Fans through the process of choosing a Team, Betting, and Voting. The tutorial was initially only given 20% of new Fans,[5] but afterwards could accessed and replayed by any Fan from their Account page. The Tutorial also saw the first apperance of A Shelled One. In the Short Circuits Developer Log #2, The Game Band stated that they added a Tutorial because:
Blaseball, a notoriously obscure game, has never had a tutorial. How did we get away with this for so long? How does anyone figure out how to play this weird game?[4]
Snow
See the main article on this topic: Snow
Snow was a new weather condition that debuted as a result of 19x19px Circuit 00. During Snow games, there is a chance of a random number of snowflakes "modifying the field" to a varying extent, resulting in one or more players being given the Frozen modification for the remainder of the game, preventing them from playing in a way similar to Shelled or Elsewhere.Separately, players may also have snow fall on them, slightly changing all of their attributes in either direction.
Mild Cards
Mild Cards was a new rule that debuted as a result of 19x19px Circuit 00. It allowed an additional Runner Up in the Standings from each Conference to receive a Postseason Birth, regardless of Division.[6]
Sub-Leagues
