Static Changes

As the Team Pages fully opened, it was noticed that there were some discrepancies between the listed Fall Ball falls and the teams themselves. NaN and Sixpack Dogwalker, the original two Receivers, were absent; in their place was Nathaniel Wilds and Dimi Wobbler, respectively. Both of these replacements are also now Receivers, and were previously Static Charges from the Short Circuits. Whilst not explicitly stated, both teams have the Entangled Modification (which they had received at the conclusion of Season 24), and therefore can be presumed to have been Alternated on their return from the Black Hole, revealing an as-yet-unseen (though confirmed by The Game Band in an episode of Inside A Blaseball) interaction between the two Modifications. Notably, NaN had not had the Receiver modification since Season 15, when it had been replaced with the Echo modification. Players who are Echoes do not Static when alternated, as Wyatt Mason X, an Echo, was Alternated in the Season 21 election with no other result.

Bonus Burps

Every ILB team started with 14 players - 10 of whom had fallen during Fall Ball, the other 4 seemingly randomly generated before games began. However, as games progressed, it appeared that the new weather Horizon, which every game is currently played under, had the effect of every so often having another player fall and land somewhere on the field during a game. The fallen players do not appear on team rosters, and their location is unknown. An (incomplete) list of players that fell and which team's game they fell during can be seen below.

Falling players can also, on rare occasion, hit a player on a team's active roster and knock them out of play. The fallen player will replace them on the active roster, and the hit player will go off to places unknown. A list of occurrences of this is below.

Shortly before Day 4, an Emergency Alert was broadcast, coinciding with the addition of the NEW Redistribute Wealth Decree to the election ballot:

Universal Bets and Influence

Starting with Day 22, and repeating each real-world 24 hours, a new boon was granted. This boon, referred to as "Universal Bets and Influence", granted players 100 Chips and 20 Votes. Coinciding with this came a Message from the Monitor:
