Topic on Talk:Huber Frumple

Hi, here is a lore idea I kicked around with some Pies fans:

Huber Frumple is a hitter for the Philly Pies composed of two corporate espionage agents. These two agents work for rival federal defense contractors and were each independently sent to recover information about Pies hitter Jaxon Buckley's mechanical arms. When Farrell Seagull was traded to the Worms for a player named "Huber Frumple," a player new to the Internet Blaseball League, the two agents both arrived on the same day claiming to be Huber Frumple. Rather than blow their cover, they stumbled through an explanation that they both work together to play as a single blaseball player. It is unknown what happened to the original Huber Frumple who played for the Ohio Worms.

The two agents are typically called Huber and Frumple by others assuming those are their names, although it is never consistent which agent is called by which name. While "Huber" and "Frumple" stay professional and work together while on the field, they are mortal enemies while not playing blaseball, often leaving deadly traps and explosives in the other's path to prevent them from stealing the secret Jaxon documents.

As the two are espionage agents, they are accustomed to speaking in codewords, and the true meaning of the things they say is often indecipherable.

This is cool i like it

this is def cool, and could be good for an IRM specifically imo. i'm personally very in favor of the two woerm ona string glued together, one with a top hat and monocle, one without, that the Worms brainstormed in their lore doc.

I have not seen that idea. Maybe you could post it to the talk page for community discussion?

from the discord pins in general-pies here's the link to the condensed Huber brainstorm the Worms sent over: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g-VgZNLYmUbYSrIyJ5lZKlC0Shm3BVHd_wSuLrHum0E/edit#

we don't HAVE to keep to any of it, and there's multiple concepts in there, plus some stuff i feel is just stupid (the buttcheek batting idea is not worth consideration imo), but i personally like some of the two glued together Worm On a String concept, and i have noticed some amount of uptake of that concept in some of the discord, not that that's necessarily what matters.

if we wanted we could even syncretize the spy-vs-spy-esque concept with the worm on a string concept by conceptualizing the two corporate spies as being Worm On String people who glue themselves to each other each game to play (a part of the Worms lore brainstorm referencing Huber's pre-game ritual).
