The Book of Blaseball (also colloquially The Forbidden Book, The Rulebook, or The Book) is the Official Rulebook of Blaseball. The Game of ████████████ and ██████████.
It is presumed to be an object of unknown providence that is inseparably intertwined with the past, present, and future of the splort of Blaseball. The book currently contains six chapters, with each chapter containing a number of rules pertaining to the splort.
Opening the Forbidden Book
In Season 1, the book first made itself publicly known in the form of a decree available to participants of blaseball. Following the inaugural Internet Series, the decree called "Open the Forbidden Book" was successfully passed with 556 votes, or 61% of all decree votes. The immediate results of this decree were as follows:
- The Book Opens.
- Solar Eclipse.
- Umpires' eyes turn white.
- Star player Jaylen Hotdogfingers is incinerated.
- Hellmouth swallows the Moab Desert.
- THE DISCIPLINE ERA BEGINS
Contents
The book currently contains the following chapters, with each chapter containing a number of rules pertaining to blaseball. After the chapters, the book is signed by 19 names (or other similar invocations). Much of the book remains redacted, and the current state of the book can be examined by all registered participants at this location.
- Seasons
- Postseasons
- Elections
- Playing the Game
- █████ and You
- ████████
Editions of the book from Season 3 are preserved for posterity, and reflect the contents of the book at the very end of their season.
Revelations
Beginning on Season 3 Day 1, sections of the book began to remove text redactions, making more of the rules legible. These revelations have continued beyond Season 3 at unpredictable intervals.
Notable Passages
- Section 5G previously read, "Splortsmanship, Splortsmanship, ██████". Perhaps as a response to the events of Peanut Fraud and Blasphemy, it was un-redacted to: "Splortsmanship, Splortsmanship, is DEAD." After the Season 3 finals, it was updated to read: "Splortsmanship, Splortsmanship, is BACK."
- The 19 signatories at the end of the book were previously entirely redacted. Now the first letters, "A," "N," and "M" have appeared for three of the redacted names/titles.
