Welcome! to 17776 book club 17776 is a story about football (gridiron) in the future! It is written by Jon Bois, who made the Dorktown Mariners series which we had a siesta long watch party for last October! It is a wonderfully charming story and has many elements which blaseball fans may enjoy themselves. trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BZs005Hbgs RULES We will be reading 2 chapters a day. Things in the chapters of the day or past chapters DO NOT HAVE TO BE SPOILERED Things in future chapters MUST BE SPOILERED Things in 20020 MUST BE SPOILERED Football/Gridiron knowledge is not required for this. (edited)
22:04
https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football That being said. LETS GET TO IT! HEADS UP, CHAPTER 1 WILL SEEM LIKE YOUR COMPUTER/PHONE IS GLITCHING OUT. THIS IS NORMAL! KEEP SCROLLING CHAPTER 1 AND 2 TODAY!
What football will look like in the future
Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong. Something is terribly wrong.

Georgia Tech 222, Cumberland 0
"Beatdown" isn't the word. Neither are "rout" or "clobbering." The word to describe what Georgia Tech's football team did to Cumberland does not exist, because we've never had to invent it, because nothing like it has happened before or since.

yep! 17776 has a bunch of world building done just in the trailer. The future which gets established right from the jump, but without much exposition is WONDERFUL 2moro we should be getting a bunch of WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON, because nine outright asks at the end of chapter 2 WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON

17776 has an interesting dichotomy between people doing what they want to do and what they need to do. I can’t elaborate because we haven’t gotten that far, but it’s something to keep in mind

I've been thinking about it periodically ever since I first read it. like, assuming you can't be all carving handholds or whatever to assist your climb.. the smart thing to do is let the other team have it, climb out, and set up down the way to hope you can get get the ball on a breakaway down the line so your runner has a chance to climb the far side.

I think you have the teams backwards Indiana allowed Penn to score fast Because no matter what they needed the ball back and needed to score. So making them score fast make it 28-20 and then match down the field was easier than trying to force a stop at 21-20 and then hustle
02:57
Indiana won that game in overtime I don't remember who won the falcons game. I'd assume it wasn't the falcons. But the lions are also a cursed wretched franchise

The one problem with 17776 is despite the text being colored, it’s all one font with little to no italics/bolding. So it’s really hard to read

cause like sure people are people no matter when in time you look to an extent, like we're always making bread always making art and writing 'X was here' and so on, but. things do change. yeah thats true. the way ive interpreted it is, time doesnt really affect them in the same way anymore? time Does Not Matter. in football verse its the fakest its ever been. so everythings just. the same forever. year one in the canyon is the same as year 10000 in the canyon

I guess like OK on the surface level, 17776 is about what football might look like in 10000 years, assuming all limitations are gone the answer: fascinating. brilliant. super interesting, that's the solid skeleton of this story. and like, banter between characters is the beating heart and I'm here for it but like, another part - a whole separate theme - feels like JB trying to come to grips with eternity? like, an eternal life? and ok, I guess that's fine? but to me, I'm so constantly aware of time and mortality and also like... have spent so much time accepting those things, this entire side of the story feels very strange and meaningless. it's like a beautiful novel written about all the social and political implications of a universe that's about to run out of the color blue. like, ok, that's fascinating! and you can tell really compelling stories, esp if your this gifted at writing! but whatever deeper message you have feels... miss aimed? irrelevant? except even moreso, because coming to terms with a large loss is a universal metaphor. This story is about coming to terms with too much time, and eternal life, and that's just... nothing? that's nothing. I do not want that. I do not want to think about that. I'm really looking forward to becoming worms in 50-100 years.

it's not surprising, reading these works always compels me but at least 20020's moral is like "please imagine a utopia with no problems but people are still human." this is like "please imagine purgatory forever"

yeah yeah prolly 17776 and 20020, but esp. 17776, really wants to be a work that has big meaning. it wears the trappings of literature. it's not just "hey what if we were invincible, what kind of whacky football would we be up to", it really wants to speak to you on a deep personal level. that's why there's so much naval gazing and big sweeping dramatic moments and it's put together so well that the first few times I read it I was entranced, but now like i have a ton of questions about living and being a person. I look to media for a lot of answers. like, even the stories we tell in Blaseball are about dealing with grief, finding solace in a crushing system, deciding what matters, figuring out how to work together. these are Big Questions that I can use as a reference and build into my personality. this is like... it's wearing all that costuming but its... so irrelevant to my world. I guess it's just like, a preference thing? I like my Big Deep Media to actually be relevant and worth my investment of headspace and thought, and I like my silly dumb fun to be obvious upfront? I guess i guess that's my objection lol and yes Deej, we've had this conversation before xp

I agree with the unsatisfying nature of the convo between nine and ten. But i also think that is good Like... The deep not deep convos we end up in with our regular lives is normal. And if I was confronted with the surface level question "what would you do with immortality and majority of the world's problems are solved" Id prob learn to wrestle and do that forever. Something nonsensical and entertaining. Because ten is right. Boredom is the only unsolved problem for them. And you do lots of stupid things when bored. And stupid things often alleviate boredom
Avatar
georgia 🌱 08-Jul-21 02:22 AM
The eternity stuff makes it all (as in the concept of 17776) make a lot of sense to me tbh. I don’t think I’ve ever seen media that thinks living forever is actually a good thing for you. It makes a lot of sense that faced with this gift of endless life that you never asked for and can’t get rid of, you’d spend your time doing increasingly ridiculous meaningless things. Like spending 10000 years playing football at a bottom of a canyon. It’s sad and stupid (edited)

I got to Nashville, Tennessee, West Virginia and the prospect of living in the 17776 world is both bleak and oddly hopeful to me; no one being able to age and having memories from 15,000 years ago that are hard to remember (as I'd expect) gave me this pang of...existential dread as someone who doesn't have a great memory to begin with. On the other hand, poverty seemingly solved sounds pretty great lol

spoiler because it's only actually addressed later (although the conclusion can be drawn right away) but the awkward silence between nancy and the bartender when children are mentioned.... kinda heartbreaking tbh

also maybe it's just like a fundamental difference between me and the bartender, but i can't imagine living in one small town for over 10000 years...

Take where I live on the south coast of the UK. It's a large naval town, even though the Navy is very much not what it used to be, but it's woven into the layout, town planning, architecture. It used to have the most pubs in the UK per population density because all the sailors needed something to do when they returned to shore, most of which was to drink. Even though as times have changed we don't have that anymore, you can see lots of houses/shops that were very clearly pubs in a previous life

Yeah yeah! I mean every little facet of like, city planning or anything really comes from decisions made by people and those people have stories and influences and things of their own, right? The story of the building made of sidewalk is just as strange and beautiful as like, realizing that Kansas City isn't in Kansas because westward expansion across the states was wild (edited)

There's a reason games like SimCity, The Sims, Civilisation, Cities: Skylines, Tropico et al. continue to be popular, because it's fascinating trying to lay it all out.

I downloaded it on Virtual Console for the Wii, but never really gave it enough of a shot. Of the big city builders, Tropico 5(?) is the one I got the most out of, partly for the gameplay and also because the story is wild, y'all.

I grew up in a country with not as much anything as the countries we got our media from. It leads to national brain drain and discontentment. But the US and UK being their own little dumpster fires of disappointment have led to a stronger national and regional pride in Trinidad and the West Indies and i love it

Was the cannon ever stated to be 100% accurate, because a projectile flying through the air like that has a lot of variance. You can aim for a general area but not an exact point, so they probably forgot about the bulb and just aimed for that area (edited)

I think the space travel being useless thing encapsulates the current feeling a lot of people have about billionaires going to Mars. The idea that there’s only one Earth, and abandoning it isn’t going to solve any problems. Sure, no one is attempting to fix it, but leaving is worse than staying
