So, an idea I've had bouncing around for a while (I've been jealous of the Flowers' bat forest (Which is an incredibly beautiful idea, tbh. Highly recommend looking it up)) is some sort of memorial for players we've lost. I don't really know how I want to go about building it out though, I've been waffling between like 3 different locations for it. Right now I'm kinda thinking of it as a publicly accessible part of the stadium, a sort of memorial "team Hall of Flame". Things I'm thinking about: is it just for Tacos? Or would we include a small memorial for other teams' incins that happen in our stadium? What would players' memorials look like? (edited)

@Cliff, Perpetual Lurker this was in lore preserves, dunno how to link it via mobile "+tacos +hallofflame With the Tacos and LA heavily associated with the Mexican American culture, I think our team should take the aspect of The Day of The Dead but more so the paying respect to the dead part. To add the blaseball part into this, the hall of flame, combine them with the religious/spiritual part of the culture, we remember them via their own candles. The candles has images of them on the label, and other things which personalized each one (smell, color, etc) and once a season, they're lit up to commune with their fallen comrades. Though Aly's for some reason disappeared recently winkwink Wyatt Quitter doesn't have one because static, but that's another lore idea, maybe because she's really not dead yet So somewhere built into the stadium is our own little hall, maybe even built along side with kitchen/restaurant/food truck area, so they're always remembered and at home with the rest of team and fans."

Maybe we could have an infinite river, with the candles floating by, maybe a river of marigold Or an aurora borealis of sorts that comes by monthly? But it's actually made of a multitude of floating candles :o

The real reason people get so lost in LA is that most of these six way intersections are only 6 way in the first place because one or two of the roads lead to an alternate LA. Once you're in the wrong LA, your directions are off, sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot. However, since this is the only (known) LA with a blaseball stadium, asking for directions to the blaseball stadium is the best way to get your bearings and make sure you end up back in this 'verse.

of course, you've got to know who to ask

There's a handful of Los Angeli where the streets are empty- whether cars were never invented, or they were abandoned in favor of another form of transport. or they're Knife Angeles The locations of these Los Angeli are closely guarded secrets to those who know of them, because if they ever became public knowledge, the Infinite Traffic Jam would consume those streets as well.

for this reason, the interdimensional taxis that make use of these LAs don't allow the passengers to see out the windows, and take great pains to appear unremarkable so as not to be followed.

also there's a neighbourhood in los angeles called echo park. uhhh nawball has a fanteam from there, complicating matters slightly, but it sure does exist.
16:33
(complications from the nawball fanteam: in some but not all dimensions, at least large portions of the echo park neighbourhood and park and whatnot may have gotten dragged into the static during the unslam, the wyatt masoning, or later.)
16:34
(also: echo park COULD be the neighbourhood that wyatt and/or dove are from, potentially)
16:36
anyway so i was looking through its wikipedia page and saw this on the list of people from echo park which makes me think that moses mason mighta lived there (also it has some somewhat substantial amount of artistic types, though other areas probably have more, which'd fit for eir movie star thing)

fig, in turn, is mentioned as living on figueroa street, which is extremely long. various IRMs also mention them living in downtown los angeli, or spending lots of time on the beach. give me like 20 minutes to find out more info about figueroa street.
17:03
aight so one end of figueroa street is in someplace called wilmington, fairly near to the port and pier and stuff
17:03
also it passes close to a taco bell at some point that is nowhere close to the aforementioned end
17:05
yeah it's right next to a taco bell in a neighbourhood called athens that is pretty close to where some other roads have an intersection that looks like it's made of spaghetti
17:06
here's a diagram
17:08
wait no forget what i was saying this is the highlight
nice 1
17:09
it passes right by the university of southern california, which is great for felix and also for some versions of fig
17:10
also passes a hawai'ian bbq restaurant
17:10
and then promptly enters what several businesses are marketing as downtown LA, convenient for the version of fig whose IRM says as much
17:11
passes by the staples center i mean the vito kravitz arena
17:12
(we can pick a better-er thing to rename it to if we need)
17:14

harbor park is on figueroa, where someone left their pet alligator back in like 2005 and it lived there for several years before zookeepers managed to get it out

steve irwin promised to remove the alligator, but died before he could

i was going to LA Harbor College, which the park surrounds, at the time and we legit petitioned the school to change their mascot to Reggie the Alligator but "Seahawks" won instead...

this is a very "old man yells at cloud" story, but is well documented when you search Reggie the Alligator on wikipedia

A bunch of Los Angeli that live rent-free in my brain- Eternal Angeles. A temporal incident occured at 3:27PM on June 18th, 1973, completely stopping the flow of time in this universe. It remains a perfect snapshot of that moment. We really hope the inhabitants are not aware. TRAVEL ADVISORY: MILD. The timestop only affected things in the universe at the time of the blast. Come explore the daily life of the not-so-distant past! (CW Bugs) Bug LA. A universe where all animal life evolved as some form of insect, vastly varying in size and sapience. Due to a dearth of natural resources other than exoskeletons, there is almost no cultural concept of sanctity of the body after death, and the vast majority of constructed things are made from the shells of once-living bugs. TRAVEL ADVISORY: MODERATE. Not for the squeamish. Most inhabitants are friendly to those still alive, but some unscrupulous types may decide you'd make a fantastic end table after your passing and attempt to hasten the process. Empty LA: This universe is completely devoid of life, yet somehow, the city still exists. No matter the vantage point, only barren earth and the occasional river can be seen, stretching to the horizon in every direction. The buildings are exquisitely decorated, however. TRAVEL ADVISORY: MILD. No immediate threats, but be wary of undermaintained infrastructure. Cute LA- This universe is entirely populated by fluffy little kittens and puppies, no more than 6 inches tall. TRAVEL ADVISORY: SPICY. Inhabitants are fiercely territorial and adept with many kinds of weapons. Bring a seasoned guide/translator and offerings to trade for safe passage if you must pass through. Knife Angeles: TRAVEL ADVISORY- RED HOT. I shouldn’t have to explain why a place made of knives is dangerous.

Rat Angeles: Macy built a to-scale mini version of LAi for all her rats down in the empty sewers of the stadium. Spends a ton of her free-time building additions. It's sprawling and follows the contours of the sewer. Her rats run around in it, driving little mini clown cars. Have fights and chases and pranks. She hooks it up to electricity and the heat magnet for fun. When Goobie gets incinerated, and the heat magnet is activated, it entangles Rat Angeles into the universe and makes Rat Angeles a semi permanent location you can accidentally visit where every resident is a rat.

There should, theoretically, be as many universes where it isn't true as where it is, as with every single decision upon which the multiverse might branch. This only serves to isolate those universes, and due to the fact that they are unobservable from the multiverse, they may as well not exist as far as we're concerned. We only know they do exist through mathematical extrapolation.

digging up the old convo about tacos memorials but i've come with a possible pitch: la ofrenda infinita basically it's what it says on the tin. somewhere in la taqueria there's a sprawling altar where teammates place food, flowers, candles, photos, and other important items for the deceased/staticed tacos. it's considered infinite because the food never runs out-- there's always at least one person who will replenish the altar also alternate selves of the deceased tacos are welcome to take from the altar since its technically for them but idk how many actually do that

Inspired by the most recent Infinite Cities Podcast. I joined up here because its been burning a hole in my brain since it occurred to me and I have to share. I apologize if it's already been done or I'm breaking any norms. CW: Horror, missing persons Los Ausentes - The Cities of the Missing. Not any one particular dimension, but more a category of classification. Refers to all versions of LA that can be entered, but which are impossible to leave. Unknown how common they are or even if they actually exist at all since an accidental encounter with one leaves you unable to report it. One day your friend says they're going to check out a new store before heading home and that's the last you ever heard from them. Meanwhile your friend now finds themselves inextricably stuck in a chain of 5 LA's that form a ring and the exit closed behind them. Or maybe just a singular LA, an echo of the pre-infinite.

You were in the Infinite Cities the entire time. You didn't actually think one city could generate that much traffic, did you?

Los Tangeles: the set of LAi that can be returned from, but are very difficult to navigate away from for whatever reason, so people become stuck there for long periods of time but often do return. These LAi often have a small number of exits, that do not always return to the LA you came from, often require a key or specific timing, or are guarded by the cops who attempt to collect exorbitant fees to pass through. Or they're blocked by the Widesinder, and you just gotta wait until it shrinks enough to allow passage through.

People often refer to the traffic jam as los tangeles, but it really pales in comparison to some LAi, so much so that there is another rating system for returnability from any given LA.

This often relates directly to taco throughput.

The Koop - pronounced as coop or co-op. This LAi brand has sprung up in every dimension as a food cooperative ran by locals. It has the unique distinction that their store fronts are mobile as it has two giant chicken legs. Some may make deliveries via egg laying, or a new coop storefront might just hatch from it. Extra store fronts have been converted to housing and new building coop neighborhoods have been made available to those who need it.

I think due to the nature of the multiverse there are actually two sets of LAs that both exist within LAi. There are LAs by name and LAs by location. LAs by name are cities in different locations than the prime LA, but they also have the name Los Angeles, nobody's sure why these ones got connected to the Infinite Cities. Then there's the LAs by location. These are places that are in the same location as the prime LA, but aren't the city of LA. Sometimes they're a different city, but other times they're unincorporated wilderness or simple farmland. (edited)

The Grand Central Mlarket is one of the most intriguing patches of the infinite Los Angeli, and it has certainly given birth to its fair share of legends. First discovered by hungry partygoers entering favorite spots for late-night cravings and finding somewhere else, it is only recently that denizens have garnered the mental fortitude to enter at will—still a skill reserved for those seeking the best flavors the multiverse has to offer. Each time one visits, the infinite bazaar’s layout may totally change, and staying inside too long may cause it to rearrange if you even blink too much. Whether you look up to find all the stores alphabetized, ordered by color, or consisting only of food from your memories takes a significant toll on those who enter. Fear not, however, as you can leave at any time, simply by running out of money in your wallet (although short of donating it to a passerby, this is easier said than done, with prices generally fixed to the Mlarket’s █████ counterpart’s opening day in 1917.) Legend has it that should you reside inside for 13 years, you will one day stumble upon what you personally deem the most delicious food in the multiverse, but you will not know until it touches your lips. Upon finishing it, you will find yourself right where you stood upon entering the mlarket, with no time having passed at all yet all your memories intact. (edited)
