Season Events

The Millennials experienced their first Incineration in Season 2.

• On Day 40 Scrap Murphy was incinerated and replaced with Felix Garbage.

Garbage Day

Squaring off against the 38-11 Dallas Steaks midway through Season 2, the Millennials pulled off a surprise win after upstart pitcher Felix Garbage dominated the Steaks into extra innings, and a solo home run by star player Thomas Dracaena put the Millennials on top (and the Steaks in Shame) at the bottom of 15 innings.

Season Overview

The Screaming Begins

The following summary mixes canon events with community lore.

The first season of The Discipline Era saw the Millennials once again finish in fifth place in the Chaotic Good division with a record of 44 wins and 55 losses. Lackluster pitching was the hallmark of the season for the Millennials, overshadowing stellar performances by Dominic Marijuana and Thomas Dracaena who were consistently among the league's most potent home run hitters.

At the end of Season 2, the Election and Blessing results resulted in a highly favorable outcome for the Millennials. The team was granted a Fourth Strike, and with 26% of all submitted ballots also won a Soul Swap. The following changes occurred, violently:

   Randomized the pitching stats for the New York Millennials' worst player, Theodore Cervantes. 0.5 -> 3.5
   Randomized the pitching stats for the New York Millennials' worst player, Fynn Doyle. 0.5 -> 2
   Randomized the hitting stats for the New York Millennials' worst player, Richardson Games. 1 -> 2
   Randomized the hitting stats for the New York Millennials' worst player, Winnie Mccall. 1 -> 3
   Randomized the hitting stats for the New York Millennials' worst player, Conrad Vaughan. 1.5 -> 2.5

These improvements were celebrated by Millennial fans during the off season. This joy was peppered with reservations around the weighty existential terror expressed in the screams of the soul swapped players.

The screams prompted fans to ask questions about the metaphysical nightmare their players were now living.

This has led to a set of conflicting but often overlapping theories about the finer details of swapping souls. It is widely agreed that the original soul is removed in whole or shaved down to make room for other soul(s). There is debate around the soul which is introduced to the players body as well. It may be an amalgamation of souls pushed together in a spiritual blender with the sole purpose of creating a better Blaseball player.

In the event of multiple timelines it is possible that a players soul is ripped from a different timeline in order to improve their skills in this one. In this case is it hypothesized that parts of the recipient’s soul and the donor‘s soul are lost in this process. What happens to the donor body from the alternate timeline is currently unknown.

Alternatively the Blaseball Gods themselves may have a stable of souls which they keep on hand for cases such as this.
