The Waveback Event is a Season 4 event that resulted in most participants seeing their coin balances doubled, as well as altering the stats of new Hawaii Fridays player, Sixpack Dogwalker.
Description of Events
On August 28 2020, the Blaseball game servers "experienced a significant loss of data" that forced the Umpires to roll back the state of the game world by approximately eight hours, to 2 AM Pacific time. The events that occurred within the lost timeframe (such as team standings and player changes) were manually reconstructed to bring the game back to its most recent state, which was Season 4 Day 88.[1] Blaseball was in siesta for several hours while the error was repaired.
As compensation for the error, fans experienced a doubling of their coin balances, as well as a complementary gift of five vote tickets.[2]
Additionally, Sixpack Dogwalker received the unique bat Bangers & Smash in tandem to the server repair. Dogwalker appeared to inherit the statistical makeup of their incinerated predecessor, Thomas England. Notably, Dogwalker's player profile also included a specific and unique Pregame Ritual: "Talking to The Microphone."
During the hours that Blaseball was under siesta, The Commissioner tweeted, "Everybody do the wave lol 🌊",[3] causing many fans on Twitter to reply with wave emojis. Simultaneously, The Microphone tweeted "if you can hear me wave",[4] using letter emojis to construct their message. The Commissioner continued to retweet several instances of fans "doing the wave" with wave emojis for the remainder of the siesta. This brief social activity inspired the name of this event.
