Observed
Observed is a Player Modification, first seen during the Coffee Cup. The modification would later return in Season 15 with different mechanics.
Effects
During the Coffee Cup, Players with the Observed Modification had a chance of becoming Percolated during games, being removed from their Team's roster.
Throughout the Expansion Era and as of Season 24, Players with the Observed Modification have a chance of becoming Redacted after playing a game under Coffee, Coffee 2, or Coffee 3s weather, or would become Redacted after entering into a Secret Base.
History
The Coffee Cup
The Observed modification was first seen during the Coffee Cup, with every Player on the Real Game Band having the modification with a Permanent duration.
The effects of the modification were seen during the first day of the tournament, when Game Band hitter GM became Percolated during the bottom of the 3rd inning.

Season 15

During the Season 14 election, players York Silk and Chorby Soul returned to active play as a result of necromancy, gaining the Returned and Debt modifications. While Debt had been seen before, the effects of this Debt weren't known until Season 15, Day 2, when York Silk hit a flyout to player Wyatt Glover of the Yellowstone Magic.

Similar to the Debts that had been seen before, Observed given by this Debt only had a weekly duration, clearing every 9 days.
Between Seasons 15 and 17, Silk hit the ball towards 36 fielders, and Soul hit 18 players with their pitches. They can be found below.
Additionally, the Echo modification was introduced to Blaseball during the Season 14 Latesiesta, and as a result, the Debt modification was Echoed and obtained by players Sixpack Dogwalker, NaN, Wyatt Mason X, and Moses Mason.

During the Season 17 Earlsiesta, the Dallas Steaks' card, IIII The Emperor was drawn as the final card of the season's reading.
