| + | ==Time on the Dale== |
| − | '''Incinerations''' are an event in which a [[Umpire#Rogue Umpires|Rogue Umpire]] kills a [[Blaseball]] player or team under the dim light of a [[Solar Eclipse]]. In the case of player incineration, this forces the team to permanently replace the incinerated player immediately. In the case of team incineration, the league replaces the incinerated team immediately, taking the place of the incinerated team in the game they were playing. Any fielded players on any team are at risk of incineration: it can target outfielders, but cannot target benched pitchers, for instance. Currently, the only known ways to prevent incineration is via [[Modifications]], such as {{ModifInline|FIREPROOF}}.

| − | There is no given reason for any particular incineration. Though incinerations are performed by presumably sentient beings (Rogue Umpires) who possess thought and reason, some fans also consider umpires to be akin to a force of nature, and that their reasons for incineration are either purely chaotic, or exceedingly complex beyond human comprehension. There has been no known causal link to predict which players get incinerated.

| |
| − | At the [[Season 6#Blessings 2|end of Season 6]], Jaylen Hotdogfingers became the first player to return from death, after a lengthy and coordinated process engineered by Blaseball fans across all teams. Hotdogfingers returned to the Seattle Garages bearing the modifications '''Returned''' and '''Debted''', as well as the postgame ritual, "Checking their pulse" — all of which were first-time appearances further emphasizing the gravity of this feat.

| − | ==Research==
| |
| − | Thanks to the resurrection of Jaylen Hotdogfingers, it is now known that the souls of incinerated players reside in [[Hall of Flame|The Hall]]. Previously, there had been several failed attempts to locate them in [[Hades]]. Should a player die by any means other than incineration, it is believed they may be consigned to [[The Dugout]] for all of eternity and never know true rest.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It has been observed that incinerations only occur during [[Solar Eclipse]] weather. The implications of this are unknown, but it is speculated that there is a direct link between the position of the sun and rogue umpires (or potentially, all umpires).
