Beta/Season 3
Season 3 of Internet League Blaseball began on August 3, 2020. The regular season concluded on August 7, followed by the postseason and Internet Series on August 8. It is the second season of the Discipline Era.
Initially, Season 3 was titled the season of the Peanut Plague; however, upon the day of Blasphemy, it became the season of Uncertainty.
Season 3 concluded with the Hades Tigers defeating the New York Millennials to win their first Internet Series championship. The election results were followed by the first Extended Siesta, an two-week hiatus declared by Blaseball officials.
Notable Events
Peanut Plague
See the main article on Peanut Plague.
Peanut Plague is the first subtitle of the Discipline Era, appearing when the Season β2 decree, Peanuts, successfully passed. This period introduced several participation elements revolving around peanuts, such as peanuts as an item type, peanuts as a weather type, and peanuts as an allergic reaction. Due to the Peanut Fraud incident (below) extremely early in Season 3, the Peanut Plague only lasted for less than one day.
Peanut Fraud
See the main article on Peanut Fraud.
On Season 3 Day 2 (August 3), play was interrupted following the discovery of Peanut Fraud, in which at least one participant cheated to give themselves near-infinite peanuts and potentially causing extreme instability to Blaseball.com. Officials announced play would not resume until the peanut cheaters have "repented." Despite the fact that the offenders did not come forward, the umpires resumed play because "Blaseball is inevitable." Umpire Husky was quoted as saying: "THE BLASEBALL GODS WILL REMEMBER THIS."[1]
Blasphemy
See the main article on Blasphemy.
On August 3, as Peanut Fraud offenses seemingly continued unbeknownst to most fans, Blaseball.com was replaced with a rotating image of a large peanut—the first appearance of an entity now known as The Peanut. This was accompanied by the word 'BLASPHEMY' in red, as well as an ominous hidden cipher representing recently-incinerated Blaseball players. This was seen as a final stand against the perpetrators of Peanut Fraud.
Uncertainty
Uncertainty is the second subtitle of The Discipline Era, appearing on August 3 as a direct response to the Peanut Fraud and Blasphemy incidents. The meaning of Uncertainty is uncertain. However, it seemed to reflect uncertainty from either Blaseball officials or the Blaseball Gods themselves as to the moral future of Blaseball. This period saw drastic changes to the peanut economy, as peanuts became only attainable at a price of 1 million coins.
Uncertainty ended with the Season 3 election results, when it was replaced with the period of Drought to indicate the extended siesta.
The Grand Unslam
See the main article on The Grand Unslam.
During a regular game between the Shoe Thieves and the Tacos on Day 73 (August 6), play was interrupted by a Bad Gateway event, prompting an official pause by umpires. Players were then visited by messages from The Peanut, similar to the Blasphemy event above, seemingly chastising players for their greed with new messages.
When games resumed three hours later, the standings reflected that the two teams had 75 total games played by the end of Day 74—one more game than the rest of the league. Fans began to dub the events surrounding the extra, unseen game as The Grand Unslam.
This event had tremendous consequences on the cosmos that were only apparent at the end of the season, such as Spacetime tearing Los Angeles into a single infinite cit(ies), and all now-Unlimited Tacos players experiencing Wyatt Masoning.
The Wyatt Masoning
See the main article on The Wyatt Masoning.
Though ostensibly part of the same phenomena as The Grand Unslam, The Wyatt Masoning refers to an anomaly at the end of Season 3 in which the entire roster of the Unlimited Tacos came to bear the same name: "Wyatt Mason."
Later, during the extended siesta that followed, the league attempted to repair the player's names with the help of fans on Twitter. The end results were mixed at best, with most players still retaining part of the name Wyatt Mason, and others gaining new errors altogether. Despite this, the official tweets remind that "the league bears no liability."
Ongoing Decrees
Following the Season β2 election, the following decrees were in place for Season 3:
- Fourth Strike: All Batters on the bottom four teams of the previous Season's standings gain a Fourth Strike. It will take four strikes to strike them out, as opposed to three for every other team. The teams benefitting from a Fourth Strike are the New York Millennials, the Kansas City Breath Mints, the Hellmouth Sunbeams and the San Francisco Lovers.
