This page details the fan culture surrounding the [[Charleston Shoe Thieves]].
  
−
The Charleston Shoe Thieves are from [[Charleston]]. They are known for stealing shoes, especially from rival teams. The Shoe Thieves are also known as "the second gayest team in blaseball" after losing the top spot to the [[New York Millennials]]. They have a [[Charleston Shoe Thieves/History#Relationship with the Canada Moist Talkers|long-standing friendship]] with the [[Halifax]]-based [[Canada Moist Talkers]].
+
__FORCETOC__
  
−
The team originally formed as a front for a heist, led by legendary master thief Cornelius Games. Once they realized that they were somewhat competent at the game, the team continued to play professionally. The current roster is a mixture of Games' original crew, professional blaseball players, and Gunther.
+
== Nickname==
 +
Charleston Shoe Thieves fans are also known as "Accomplices", which reflects how the fanbase is an extension of the Shoe Thieves themselves. They also seem to respond to any mention of shoes.
  
−
Shoes Thieves signal to each other by holding up [[Charleston Shoe Thieves/History#Strategy|coded shoes]].
+
==Honor Among Thieves==
 +
The fans, much like their beloved team, are in it for the love of the game. Shoes can be stolen from both winners and losers, after all.
  
−
==Stadium==
+
Bigotry of any kind is against the Thieves' code.
  
−
The [[Choux Stadium]] is a French Patisserie in the forest of Mt. Pleasant, although its exact location is unknown. The stadium is maintained by a team of mysterious Gnomes who seemed to appear not long after the stadium was established. Their role in the disappearance of patrons' shoes is unconfirmed. Rumours that the gnomes are just mutant raccoons are unsubstantiated.
+
Though Shoe Thieves fans are largely unorganized, they relay their most important communications through [https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/ letters]. Match MVP is kept track of throughout the season, and at the end of the season fans will vote for and deliver awards to their favorite players.
  
−
==Staff==
+
== Chants==
−
===Ownership===
+
===Team-Wide Chants===
−
The Shoe Thieves do not have a traditional owner. Ownership of the team is distributed among every patron of the [[Choux Stadium]] and returned upon exit.
+
The most popular chant is a call and response, often after a victory:
  
−
===Current Staff===
+
*"Whose Kicks? / Our Kicks!"
  
−
*General Manager: [[Cornelius Games]] functions as the team's general manager, as well as being their ace pitcher.
+
After a particularly tense or dramatic victory, some fans will taunt the opposition by chanting "Our shoes now!" or "Give me your shoes!"
−
*Manager: You!
 
−
*Pitching Coach: After their unfortunate delacing, [[Matteo Prestige|Matteo Prestige's]] spirit became trapped in the upper decks of Choux Stadium. In between cries of eternal anguish, the spirit can be heard coaching the team's pitching staff. They have been given the honorary title of head pitching coach as a result.
 
  
−
===Mascots===
+
The Shoe Thieves are no stranger to disappointing games, but determine to stay a stranger to disappointment. During games and plays that can be considered disappointing, fans will chant "it's😔okay". No one knows how they say "😔" with their mouths.
−
[[Sneaker Pete]] is the Shoe Thieves' current mascot and ward. [[Gunther O'Brian]] was the previous mascot until he was mistakenly drafted as [[Matteo Prestige]]'s replacement.
 
  
−
==Fan Culture==
+
Fans have observed that a majority of the Shoe Thieves' runs occur after two batters are out, and have dubbed this the "Two Out Rally". As such, whenever two Shoe Thieves are out, fans will chant "Two Out Rally!" in hopes of encouraging their team to score.

==Superstitions==
 +
Due to the mystery of what causes a Rogue Ump to commit such an act, much superstition has grown around [[incineration]]. When talking about it, many accomplices use the euphemism "delacing". This is in part to avoid jinxing the team, either through simply invoking the word or by drawing unwanted attention from the Umps.
  
−
====The Grand Unslam====
+
This seemed to work until partway through [[Season 3]], when [[Sebastian Townsend]] and replacement [[Atlas Jonbois]] were incinerated within days of each other, followed by the tragic losses of [[Matteo Prestige]] and [[Blankenship Fischer]]. The superstition has stuck, and fans hope that those four incinerations were bad luck.

+
==Friendships and Rivalries==
 +
There are rarely dull moments with these fans, either due to the drama of Shoe Thieves games (see:the Grand Unslam), shoe-related antics, or the ever-shifting rivalries. Anyone with shoes is a target, yet some teams have earned particular recognition by the Accomplices.

After [[Morrow Doyle]] was swapped to the Boston Flowers amid a string of weather events for the Flowers, fans realized they had a lot more in common with their rivals than previously thought.

The rivalry still remains - only the Shoe Thieves are allowed to beat the Flowers.

Because so much of their roster has been traded between the Thieves and the Canada Moist Talkers, fans of both teams are very invested in the others success and the safety of their players. After the incineration of [[Workman Gloom]] in Season 7, fans of both teams came together to mourn them.

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

This page details the fan culture surrounding the Charleston Shoe Thieves.


Nickname

Charleston Shoe Thieves fans are also known as "Accomplices", which reflects how the fanbase is an extension of the Shoe Thieves themselves. They also seem to respond to any mention of shoes.

Honor Among Thieves

The fans, much like their beloved team, are in it for the love of the game. Shoes can be stolen from both winners and losers, after all.

Bigotry of any kind is against the Thieves' code.

Though Shoe Thieves fans are largely unorganized, they relay their most important communications through letters. Match MVP is kept track of throughout the season, and at the end of the season fans will vote for and deliver awards to their favorite players.

Chants

Team-Wide Chants

The most popular chant is a call and response, often after a victory:

  • "Whose Kicks? / Our Kicks!"

After a particularly tense or dramatic victory, some fans will taunt the opposition by chanting "Our shoes now!" or "Give me your shoes!"

The Shoe Thieves are no stranger to disappointing games, but determine to stay a stranger to disappointment. During games and plays that can be considered disappointing, fans will chant "it's😔okay". No one knows how they say "😔" with their mouths.

Fans have observed that a majority of the Shoe Thieves' runs occur after two batters are out, and have dubbed this the "Two Out Rally". As such, whenever two Shoe Thieves are out, fans will chant "Two Out Rally!" in hopes of encouraging their team to score.

Superstitions

Due to the mystery of what causes a Rogue Ump to commit such an act, much superstition has grown around incineration. When talking about it, many accomplices use the euphemism "delacing". This is in part to avoid jinxing the team, either through simply invoking the word or by drawing unwanted attention from the Umps.

This seemed to work until partway through Season 3, when Sebastian Townsend and replacement Atlas Jonbois were incinerated within days of each other, followed by the tragic losses of Matteo Prestige and Blankenship Fischer. The superstition has stuck, and fans hope that those four incinerations were bad luck.

Friendships and Rivalries

There are rarely dull moments with these fans, either due to the drama of Shoe Thieves games (see:the Grand Unslam), shoe-related antics, or the ever-shifting rivalries. Anyone with shoes is a target, yet some teams have earned particular recognition by the Accomplices.

Boston Flowers

In Season 2, a rivalry with the Boston Flowers was mutually agreed, only for the teams to not play a single game together in Season 3. This was rectified in Season 4, including several back to back series and a Feedback event.

After Morrow Doyle was swapped to the Boston Flowers amid a string of weather events for the Flowers, fans realized they had a lot more in common with their rivals than previously thought. The accomplices could empathize with the pain of losing so many beloved players in quick succession, and have bonded more with Flowers fans. The rivalry still remains - only the Shoe Thieves are allowed to beat the Flowers.

Dallas Steaks

After a narrow victory against the Dallas Steaks during the Season 2 playoffs, followed by both teams making playoffs again in Season 3, the accomplices declared the Steaks their rivals, much to the apparent bemusement of the Grillers.

Kansas City Breath Mints

The Kansas City Breath Mints have a one-sided rivalry with the Shoe Thieves, which many Shoe Thieves fans remain completely unaware of. Prior to their incineration, Boyfriend Monreal's relationship with Ren Hunter proved challenging for Breath Mints fans, who eventually settled on being happy for Monreal.

Houston Spies

The Shoe Thieves' █████████ with the Houston Spies is ████████. Any ██████████████████████ blaseball ████████████████████████ is purely coincidental.

Canada Moist Talkers

Because so much of their roster has been traded between the Thieves and the Canada Moist Talkers, fans of both teams are very invested in the others success and the safety of their players. After the incineration of Workman Gloom in Season 7, fans of both teams came together to mourn them.

Hawaii Fridays

The Hawaii Fridays have remained in the same division as the Shoe Thieves since Season 1. Because of this, the teams face off often, even playing against each other 30 times in a single season. In spite of this, fans tend to be close, due in no small part to Fridays fans' immaculate vibes.
