Talk:Tiana Wheeler

This is a potential IRM or addition to the main/currently only IRM for the events of season 17 & the election, post-redaction. I wrote this as an IRM but it could honestly work on its own or as an update. The Mints have a shared lore joke that all players on the Mints have failed the bar exam. Of course since Tiana was pulled out of the shadows and immediately recruited to the Magic due to the Strange Attractor blessing, I wanted to play in the space that she had failed but also passed. According to the Mints I talked to, is important that all Breath Mints players fail the bar at least once.

During the time between the end of s16 and s17 day 92, Tiana Wheeler took the bar exam, however due to the ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ of being Redacted, Tiana was not given appropriate accommodations for its verbalflux nature and unfortunately failed. When it emerged onto the field of Yellowstone National Ballpark on day 92, the failure to pass the bar led to it being Attracted to the Kansas City Breath Mints' shadows, being batted home by Marco Stink. While in the Mints shadows, Tiana was able to make its needs known to her new teammates and fellow shadows and prepared to take the bar again, this time with proper accommodations. At the time of elections they were informed that she had once again failed the bar and were welcomed onto the Mints active roster with understanding and open arms, in the process slam dunking vampire and cricket player, Marquez Clark, back into the shadows. This was due to its uppy downy nature as an avatar of Yellowstone National Parkpark and the fact that when one comes out another must retreat. However it was not to be. As she was greeting her new teammates properly for the first time, they were informed that there had been a miscommunication and she had actually passed the bar exam. Upon learning of this, Max Betmint forced it to leave the team as no player for the Mints is allowed to practice law for fear that they may discover the mass amounts of tax fraud that Betmint commits regularly. Tiana was cleared by the ILB to return to her former team, the Yellowstone Magic, where they are excited to put their new law knowledge to good use advocating for environmental protections in Yellowstone National Parkpark.

Main notes on tweaks for this:

- Nitpick: I'm fairly certain the style guide wants seasons fully written out, ie "Season 17, day 92"

- Does failing the bar put one on the Mints? That's not the vibe I got from the joke, but I could be wrong.

- I'd like another proper paragraph break in there somewhere, I think. Perhaps the talk page compression makes this look chunkier than it is, but it is a little bit of a brick.

- I also think putting "Uppy-Downy Nature" in quotes in the IRM entry would enhance the dry, wiki-style humor of this entry.

Very fun idea, glad someone put it down for the wiki!

Poll closed, decided upon IRM now has its own talk page article!

Hi, we're back with a new character this week, and plenty more ideas! We're giving some more advanced warning to people who use the wiki this time that Magic is holding a vote on various concepts for the character, as well as having done a lore jam on what we'd like to see from this new player! The poll will be open until 12 hours have passed from this being posted, after which we'll do the usual procedure like we did for Kurt.

If you'd like to participate, it's currently open for voting and idea submission, but we do ask you join the main Blaseball discord and channels for the link for security purposes. If not, expect the usual result pages to appear here in the next few days to get your final words in on it!

Hello! The results of the Tiana Wheeler character poll from the discord are in. The submission for her first IRM is down below.

Tiana Wheeler is a vaguely humanoid and human shaped being, but beyond that, it's hard to say for sure what they look like, because there's always something wrong or odd about how they look--static around the edges, lingering afterimages, looking different in the corner of your eye.

It was summoned to the park by a ritual no one remembers performing, but all the summoning and blaseball contract paperwork was correctly filed. She has difficulty communicating a lot of concepts, from the utterly mundane to the really important, like why she's here and where she was before she arrived; the latter is deeply frustrating to her, because she has something very important to say and just can't find a way to say it.
