Receiver is a Modification that allows a player to receive signals from the Microphone. There are several ways this can occur, from
History
Idols
During Season 8, the Idols Board featured three Microphone icons next to the 6th, 11th, and 18th spots. At the end of the regular season, After some very close shuffling in 6th place, Fans had correctly placed Jaylen Hotdogfingers, NaN, and Sixpack Dogwalker in each spot respectively. All three recieved the Flickering modification, while NaN and Dogwalker also became Receivers.
Pregame Rituals
The first effect of the Receiver modification was changing players' Pregame Rituals. Immediately after they gained the modification, NaN and Dogwalkers' Rituals changed three times in succession to:
Hi Friends
It is Wyatt
I have a plan
During the Season 9 Preseason, their Rituals changed twice more:
Jaylen
Time for Phase Two
The ritual then returned back to "I have a plan".
Immediately after Season 9, Day X, their Pregame Rituals changed to:
Have Hope
where it has remained since.
Echoes

Alternate Recievers
[copied from Static] In the August 31st, 2021 episode of Inside a Blaseball[1], the live Q&A streams with The Game Band, it was confirmed that giving a Receiver the Alternate modification would replace them with a Static player. This means fans could theoretically get one of the Circuit players into the main League, something which otherwise would be impossible. Unfortunately for this plan, there have only been 4 Receivers in the history of the League: NaN, Sixpack Dogwalker, Wyatt Quitter, and Moses Mason. Of them, NaN and Wyatt Quitter were Echoed (with Quitter later Echoing into Static), Moses Mason was incinerated in Season 16, and Dogwalker has been in the Canada Moist Talkers' Shadows since the Season 16 Election.
