Siesta

Following Day 65, Blaseball was put into a Siesta in order to resolve slowdown issues with the games, after Day 65 resulted in another set of multiple spillovers. This resulted in an announcement.

EMERGENCY ALERT
INTERNAL ERROR
EXCESSIVE CHANGE DETECTED
TIME DENSITY HIGH
NORMALIZATION INCOMING

A few minutes later games returned for Day 65 only to be put back on Siesta again after that to resolve stabillity issues.The Ticker was updated to reflect this and the website was changed to read "PLEASE WAIT" again. Around an hour later the site returned to games with Day 66. As a response to this the UBI for that day was given out 4 times.

Questing Results

As a result of their Knighted Modification, which was given during Solar Eclipse (Silver) Weather. Chambers Simmons "found a Heart and [felt] renewed", on Day 71. The result of this was an overall boost to their Attributes, which resulted in their batting reaching 5.5 stars.

On Day 91, Flan Prince "retreated from sounds of scuttling". This resulted in a decrease to their Attributes, that was less than Simmons increase.

Postseason Switch

After round 1 of the Postseason, the Yellowstone Magic and Moab Hellmouth Sunbeams swapped places in the Postseason. This resulted in the Yellowstone Magic playing in the Good Conference and the Moab Hellmouth Sunbeams playing in the Evil Conference. As a result of this the Sunbeams managed to become the Evil Conference winners despite being in the Good Conference. The reason for the switch was ascribed by Facts Machine (in a message) and the Commissioner (on twitter) as being due to "INTERNAL ERROR".

Ongoing Decrees

Following the Season 1 election, the following decree was in place for Season 2:

Siesta Announcement

On Friday, February 3rd, 2023, The Game Band would make their second Post on the website, announcing an Extended Siesta to prepare the site for Season 3.

An Update from The Game Band (2/3/23)
Hey Blaseball Fans,

We’ve spent the last year planning for the future, building and rebuilding the Sim, and figuring out how to run Blaseball in a way that’s sustainable for us as a team. Finally, after that long hiatus, Blaseball returned with a new Era. Rejoice!

…But that rejoicing quickly turned into some confusion and frustration. Put plainly, even with all the work we did, we still didn’t get Blaseball to where we wanted it to be for this launch.

Our hope was to be able to iterate and improve post-launch, but as we tried to do that, we realized it just wasn’t realistic for the amount that needed to be done. And it was negatively impacting your experience. We need to make improvements. We’ve heard your concerns about things like accessibility, missing features, site navigation and performance issues, and often found you saying the exact same things we were saying to each other.

In order to get the game where it needs to be, we’re pausing the Era for now. This is NOT going to be a repeat of our last Siesta — we are going to come back as soon as possible.

We’re really excited about the Era of Blaseball we have planned for you. What you’ve seen so far is only the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

We’ll be posting & emailing you weekly updates as we make these improvements.

Stay tuned.
