(ey/em/eir) Desk jockey and head writer/editor of the Spies Daily Debriefings, an unofficial #blaseball recap blog. (semi-in-character-ish; main @orngjce223)
Now that some of us have had some more time to process what has happened, I do keep going back to a thing that was said in the Fridays chat very early on.
"It's possible to do nothing wrong and still lose, that's not weakness, that's life."
Blaseball is dead.
Long live the spirit of togetherness, collective struggle, and god-slaying passion that Blaseball invoked.
Long live the messy coordination, ever-shifting plans, and hope in hopelessness that we knew all too well, but learned so much of.
Long live Blaseball.
⚾📚🕵️ The Houston Spies are hunting for Strikes to see what happens when a team Strikes Out. We're going for Knight Strike, hoping it hands us the Strike when Knight Ump strikes another team, like the black hole did w/ Strike Zero. Leave the Strikes to us. Bang BANG, comrades.
We want to Strike Out so nobody else has to, but we don't have any way to experiment with it other than division-targeting Blessings. Of these, Knight Strike seemed to be the least bad option.
While Workman Gloom's incineration home run is not traditionally considered a speedrun in this category, if it was, Jang is still better, owing to game events being faster now than they were in Beta
Sutton Picklestein is now only the necromancy any% speedrun record in the glitchless category; Ramiel Jang's single line of stepping up to bat despite being dead is the new necromancy any% glitched record #blaseball
⚾️📚😜 Vibe check! Calling all agents of the Houston Spies: The Agency needs your help to build consensus on how to approach the Coronation Era, especially since we're already striking (seriously, it seems like Fate or something). Take the poll, link in next tweet.
seriously it's like spies win strike zero and get strike one and like strikes are our thing with all our union stuff and undercover sabotage stuff & oh uh you um you probably knew that already listen to me ramble sorry take the poll thanks sorry aw geez
