The Short Circuits

The Short Circuits were a series of seasons run after the expansion Era. Each circuit lasted two weeks, and experimented with different gameplay types and mechanics.

The teams in the Short Circuits shared the appearance of the teams Under Review in the main timeline but had no team modifications, and a new set of players unique to that circuit.

Names of Circuits

The standard naming conventions for the short Circuits is inconsistent, with some Fans referring to the first Short Circuit feed that could be viewed as "Gamma 1" and others referring to the first Short Circuit that Fans could participate as Gamma 1. Fans with the Society for Internet Blaseball Research point out that technically the first viewable circuit is actually Gamma 8.

This article uses "Gamma 1" to refer to the first viewable circuit.

The Microphone

Throughout the Second Grand Siesta, the Microphone repeatedly came on and offline alongside posting “TUNING”, often followed by a worried reaction from Macmillan IIIII on Twitter. It was eventually revealed that the Microphone was tuning into different realities to present to the Fans Short Circuits, in which the Microphone would only be active for two weeks before once again shorting out and turning Offline. During these Circuits, Fans could vote to Discharge a player from that universe, turning them to Static and helping power the Microphone.

Gamma 1

Season 1

The first Gamma Circuit was not viewable by Fans on the site and could only be found by checking the Feed.

Election

The following players were Discharged:

• The Crabs voted to send Nico Sigh to charge the microphone.
• The Firefighters voted to send Aku Saint to charge the microphone.
• The Mechanics voted to send Pigeon Poison to charge the microphone.

Gamma 2

New Mechanics

Gamma 1 introduced a mechanic of "combo betting" where Fans were able to bet on multiple games at once, with an increased payout if they got all of them right, and no payout if any of their bets were wrong. They were also able to bet up to twelve games in advance. If the odds changed for a game that had already been bet on via player incinerations or feedback, any bets already placed would be locked in at their previous odds, and new bets would take the new information into account.

As of Season 2 of Gamma 2, Fans were able to make a bet on the team that would win the Internet Series at the end of the season. The earlier in a season a Fan locked their bets in, the better the payout on that bet. This caused unexpected issues when the payout for the championship bet occurred, as due to an error, payouts were calculated incorrectly. If a Fan had 100 votes, and was due a 100 vote championship payout, rather than having 200 votes total, they were instead left with 100,100 votes. This was corrected in later Circuits.

Gamma 3

New Mechanics

Gamma 3 introduced a longer season, taking place over 1-- days rather than the previous standard of 99 Days. This caused the season to be paced much differently than previous seasons - taking place over two weeks rather than the usual single week seasons. Each team still played 99 games in a regular season however, and teams would often skip days, with a handful of days in the season having no games scheduled at all.
