Talk:Coffee Cup

Coffee is good.

Took a look at these pages and realized they could use some updating, so this is half a statement of intent and half a request for feedback on changes if folks have it. Which I guess is what all talk page posts are. I'd like to do some housekeeping updates, including:

• Team pages: updating the roster format, adding team results, changing dates active
• Main page: restructuring a little (changing the "overview" to some kind of "before" section, with detail about the fan teams and how rosters were determined, and an "after" section noting things that went on to affect future play) and noting it as an exhibition season
• Making a navbox for the Coffee Cup, because right now it's kind of a pain to switch between team pages

TGB has said as much that the Coffee Cup is not to be taken as an official season record or the like, but at the same time it did introduce new players which have been involved in the ongoing Blaseball Narrative, like Liquid Plasma and new weather conditions which continue to affect the game.

I added a short mention of this lack of recognition into my changes to this page to include the weather introduced, but if anyone else wants to give a vibe check on how best to phrase this kinda... mixed bag of recognition, that'd be great.

Arguement here isn't that like, it shouldn't be canon or anything, as it is - and in the mechanical side of the Blaseball Wiki, it is best treated as it's own season for navigational and organizational purposes - but for like... recognition of stats / accomplishments / etc, my understanding is that it is not a season for those purposes or anything.

But... I would say that how to understand it / judge it is definitely a bit blurred.

I said this in the discord, but I don't think it necessarily needs to be acknowledged in a negative way. The only group that does not think of it as official is statistics compilers. It would be better rephrased to mention what it did add to the Expansion Era imo.
