Beta/Season 8

From Blaseball Wiki

< Beta

Season 8 began on September 21, 2020. The regular season concluded on September 25, 2020, followed by the postseason and Internet Series on September 26, 2020. The Season 8 election took place on September 27, 2020. It is the 7th season of The Discipline Era. The Baltimore Crabs defeated the Hades Tigers 3 games to 1 to win their second Internet Series Championship.

Notable Events

The Hall

See the main article on this topic: Hall of Flame

The Hall of Flame was introduced at the end of the Season β7 elections in a new tab on the Blaseball website. The Hall was introduced in a message from The Monitor, where it asked if fans "want[ed] to see your friends?" Fans can view the profiles of incinerated players and pay tribute in the form of peanuts. It is unknown at this time what the effect of paying tribute is.

Refinanced Debt

Jaylen Hotdogfingers' Debted modification changed to Refinanced Debt at the end of Season 7 due to a deal involving the Microphone. Instead of causing the Unstable modification, players hit with Hotdogfingers' pitches now acquire the Flickering modification, which increases their chances of being caught in the Feedback during Feedback weather. On Day 5, Marquez Clark became the first player to become Flickering. On Day 21, Nolanestophia Patterson became the first player to swap teams due to the Flickering modification.

Receivers

Screenshot of the Idol leaderboards before the opening games.

At the start of Season 8, the Idol leaderboard featured three Feedback microphone icons attached to the 6th, 11th, and 18th place rankings. At the end of the regular season, fans placed Jaylen Hotdogfingers, NaN, and Sixpack Dogwalker in these slots after following clues from The Microphone. After appearances byThe Shelled One and The Monitor, the three idolized players gained a permanent version of the Flickering modification. NaN and Dogwalker also gained the permanent Receiver modification. Immediately after receiving the Receiver modification, the pregame rituals of NaN and Dogwalker changed three times in rapid succession:

hi friends
it is Wyatt
I have a plan

Any information about the plan is currently unknown, but fans are monitoring NaN and Dogwalker for more messages from Wyatt Mason.

Declaration of Fourth Strike

See the main article on this topic: The Shelled One

Following the introduction of the Hall of Flame, fans began offering peanuts in tribute to incinerated players in great quantities. When returning before the results of the Season 8 elections, The Shelled One expressed disappointment and anger at how the peanuts are being used.

YOU FOOLS
SERIOUSLY?
SERIOUSLY
100 MILLION SNACKS
WASTED
YOU FOOLS
THAT IS IT
STRIKE FOUR
YOU ARE OUT
SEE YOU SOON

Fans do not know at this time what Fourth Strike entails, as Blaseball and the Umpires took a one week siesta following these election results.


Ongoing Decrees

  • Eat The Rich (Season β3): Funds from the top 1% of coin-havers will be redistributed to the remainder of Fans at the end of the postseason. This decree will remain in effect indefinitely.
  • Enhanced Party Time (Season β6): When a team is in Party Time -- mathematically eliminated from the postseason -- they'll have a chance of receiving random permanent stat boosts during their games.

List of Blessings Results:

Incinerations

When any player is in a match during a Solar Eclipse, there is a chance they will be incinerated and killed by a Rogue Umpire. Known cases of this in Season 8 are listed below. Coins.png indicates incinerations that are payment for debt.

Player Team Date Replaced by Opponent
Hobbs Cain Philly Pies Day 10 Rai Spliff Hades Tigers
José Haley Chicago Firefighters Day 36 Goobie Ballson San Francisco Lovers
Umpire Husky* n/a Day 94 Umpire Steel Raúl Leal

*On the Day 94 game between the Baltimore Crabs and Miami Dale, a Rogue Umpire attempted to incinerate Beck Whitney. However, in the previous season's elections, Raúl Leal received the Iffey Jr., which came with the modification Fire Protector, protecting the whole team from incinerations. As such, the attempted incineration backfired on the Rogue Umpire, incinerating them instead.
