Receiver
Receiver is a Modification which allows a player to receive signals from the Microphone.
History
Idols
During Season 8, the Idol Board featured three Microphone icons next to the 6th, 11th, and 18th spots. At the end of the regular season, After some very close shuffling around 6th place, Fans had correctly placed Jaylen Hotdogfingers, NaN, and Sixpack Dogwalker in each spot respectively. All three received the Flickering modification, while NaN and Dogwalker also became Receivers.
Pregame Rituals
The first effect of the Receiver modification was changing players' Pregame Rituals. Immediately after they gained the modification, NaN and Dogwalkers' Rituals changed three times in succession to:
Hi Friends
It is Wyatt
I have a plan
During the Season 9 Preseason, their Rituals changed twice more:
Jaylen
Time for Phase Two
The ritual then returned back to "I have a plan".
Immediately after Season 9, Day X, their Pregame Rituals changed to:
Have Hope
where it has remained since.
Echoes
During the Season 14 Tarot Reading, Wyatt Quitter and Moses Mason were given the Receiver modification.
During the Latesiesta of the same season, thirteen Wyatt Masons joined teams that had built the new PsychoAcoustics Renovation. The new Wyatt Masons could Echo other players' modifications under certain weathers. These Echoes were also sent to all Receivers in active play, giving them the modifications as well. If an Echo attempted to Echo a Receiver, they would instead change the Receiver into another Echo.
Decline
Since Season 14, the League has seen the number of living Receivers fall from 4 to just 1. The first of the Receivers to Echo, Wyatt Quitter, did so with Wyatt Mason on Season 14, Day 79. On Season 15, Day 37, NaN was also echoed by Wyatt Mason X. Moses Mason suffered a more unfortunate fate, being Incinerated on Season 16, Day 2. Finally, Sixpack Dogwalker was moved into the Canada Moist Talkers' Shadows in the Season 16 Election, and since Shadowed players do not update, this effectively brought the end of Receivers in the League.
Alternates
In the August 31st, 2021 episode of Inside a Blaseball[1], the live Q&A streams with The Game Band, it was confirmed that giving a Receiver the Alternate modification would replace them with a Static player.
