questions for discussion:

1. how different are the different Las? is physics different, or just history? 2. how do you move from LA to LA? 3. do people have doppelgangers in other LAs? does my "alternate universe self" exist?

I do really like that LAi’s infinities are distinct from Atlantis infinities. I think there are probably alt-universe selves but they sort of opposite-side-of-the-magnet repel each other. You’ve really got to push against the laws of nature to actually meet

💚🌮jellorain🌮💚 27-Dec-21 12:54 PM
OK. So. Infinitely many versions of the same city means infinitely many versions of the people who reside within that city, I think? Howeeeever, I think that just because an alternate version of someone exists doesn't mean that the alternate someone is playing Blaseball? Like there could be a million bazillion Rats Mason but only a handful of them are playing (actually Rat might have been a bad example because they're sometimes like a collection of rats from various cities acting as one in a surprisingly skillful swarm of rats, but you get the idea). I also imagine that the only LAs with "Blaseball Rules" being applied are the ones that are being actively... watched? tuned into? like we've established that the stadium is the focal point because that's where the unslam happened, so every LA that is connected to LA Prime has the stadium at that exact location, and the moment they step foot in it there are like 30 suns and a black hole and it's knee deep in space juice. But it's fine outside. ...Or, that was the case, I think? Now there's just an empty void because LA Prime got sucked into a black hole. It'll get better though.

This gives me ideas
13:05
So LA Prime was lost to the black hole(black hole) But as a fixed point across the LAi, the stadium can't be lost It's just physically not allowed So then all the other LAi's old stadiums, which used to just be background noise effectively, are now being pulled into the forefront and competing to be the new prime, but this is very unstable without the true LA Prime's stadium. Short circuits have been tuning the space to stabilize one stadium at a time to make it the temporary prime so to speak
Avatar
georgia 🌱 27-Dec-21 01:18 PM
I have no idea how this works logistically but I like the idea that if the stadium/unslam is the central point both spatially and temporally, the further out you go the more different the universes are. So 20 years BGU (before grand unslam) history is completely different, but 5 years BGU a blaseball team was formed, and everything sort of spirals until the unslam happens simultaneously across a bunch of universes
13:18
and then things start to divert hard again (edited)
13:20
similarly if you’re in/around the stadium things look pretty familiar across the universes but the further away you go the stranger things get. it’s really easy to accidentally slip into the wrong city when you’re leaving a game and not realise until your hotel is suddenly full of sharks

also, my thought about LA when it comes to the uhhh Don't Look Too Close of it all is that it's metaphysically a sphere. there's a center of LA, right, the city has a (metaphorically) beating heart. (see attachments.) but the "center" of the city is not the geographical center, the city is metaphysically a sphere or hemisphere with all the regular city stuff, the vast majority of versions of the regular city stuff, on the outside. so like the edge of the city and the geographical center are both equally close to The Center. (but it's not below the city either.) to the best of anyone's knowledge, no one has gotten all the way to the true center of LAi and returned. it is theoretically accessible through very specific rifts, but even trying to get there is likely to put you in a lot of danger.

All the charted Los Angeli are numbered, but most choose a moniker for their universe as well, due to the numbers being infinite strings in most cases, due to the need for uniqueness. The subset of Los Angeleyes that have a Taco Stadium in them refer to themselves as the Taco Universes, and since they are not in touch with each other due to universally respected splorts betting regulations, Their populations have all digressed into thinking they are the only Taco Universe.

I had an idea a while back of a Council of Mayors- a governing body that appeared out of the immediate post-unslam chaos. Each Los Angeli has a Mayor on the Council, but rather than being elected, these Mayors are the personification of the wills amd desires of their city's residents. The actual governing is largely done behind closed doors- tabulating infinite votes would destroy a mortal clerk's mind.

a variety of players have had some impact from the grand unslam and subsequent Stuff, both looking too close related and otherwise. -nicholas vincent: Looked Too Close. great. got a sun 2 deal out of the bargain and then died. -son jensen: Looked Too Close(?). got displaced from time. -morrow doyle: got atomized in the grand unslam. and then died. -dove: A Lot Of Stuff Happened. effects vary by IRM. -alejandro leaf: "went from just kind of normal looking to kind of hard to look at". possibly went from humanoid plant to more of a large tangle of vines; possibly went from actual human to plant. -kline greenlemon: experienced a colour change that made it unable to use green screens. -yummy elliott: It's Free Shapeshifting

Even before the Grand Unslam, and it became more apparent after the event there's been a "Refractioning" in LAi's where perception of things often changes, splits, shatters, blends and blurs. Like someone could be perceiving Rat Mason but they're seeing a rat king horde, and a gal and her rat friend at the same time? (edited)

As a worm, I think I can say something about the "Ohio feels infinite" bit You're probably right about the liminal space vibe But some of it's from the "It's all Ohio? / Always has been" meme that made its rounds a while back And there's also a small in-joke that's developed about being stuck in Ohio, which led to the idea of "When you try to leave Ohio, you just end up in 'Advanced Ohio' "

... And that's all I feel I should say about that in another team's discord

It's not secret lore, but I don't want to barge into the Tacos server blasting Worms lore so I'm trying to put a cap on myself unless someone specifically asks for more

Is the Core a city? Or just a nowhere place
Aqueyatt Maslon (she/her) 02-Jan-22 07:33 PM
the mechs have a LOT of location worldbuilding; idk most of it but i think the core is more than just a city but also it has a city in it or is largely inhabited

hi ok continuing from npcs a few hrs ago. the thing i was gonna work on by myself to go into idk community use or whatever the term would be. fits right into this event nicely: the Blaseball Academics Network
02:05
tldr is there are a lot of folks doing research in and out of blaseball. particularly a lot of folks getting shuffled around with short notice, or dropping off the face of the plane without notice, and so on. theres GOTTA be some kinda maybe union-esque network to help people handle all kindsa things
02:07
some examples. dealing with what happens when a professor teaching at a local uni suddenly gets swept elsewhere, or shelled. transfers of all sorts, both for players and civilians. need someone to help with your doctorate that suddenly got irrevocably changed by blaseball fmee6inging up the laws of nature and/or physics? theyll put you in touch with someone

The taco throughput of any given LA is a measure of the ratio between the rate of taco influx and the rate of taco output of that universe. Many scholars believe this is the most important statistic for determinin- doorbell rings, followed by some chatter uhhh I've been visited by some secret agent esque suits who just told me to stop trying to look too close, I'm gonna ditch this train of thought so I don't get my mind erased...

This is part Locations The ever shifting LAi is influenced greatly by the roster of the team. Every player that arrives brings a little part of them to the city, and while they're present that part of them is more present. ie: fishing spots appeared more frequently when McDowell was around. With Gachapon, LAi is just a little bit more refracted. For players without lore, their contributions is just a little fuzzy and clear up once they step up to the plate or mound. (edited)

Telescoping Bat Legendary weapon (mace), one handed, finesse, light, requires attunement. It can be wielded by players of any size. Gives bonus to perception rolls.

There was once a debacle, in which an unwitting ghost crab took a very special cwfood taco. It was a perfectly constructed bean and onion base, held firm with a lime, cilantro, and jalepeno guacamole, in a tostada made entirely of some kind of vegan bacon substitute, from the grand central mlarket on the 13th day of a visit by an ancient fae who's name is disputed in various tellings of the tale but I'm sure some of you know who it was. This accidental theft resulted in the fae becoming enraged, and unleashing a terrible curse upon everyone who was in the Grand Central Mlarket on that day, that they would all gleefully echo her desire for that piece of food, longing to repay that impossible debt for as long as they should carry their memories on this side of the veil. None of them were strong enough to resist her power, and they all began the hunt for that taco, which has gone unfound so far. They all wanted that taco baco. spoiler: The curse was lifted a few weeks later, but was not without tremendous interdimensional repercussions. (edited)

Sometimes, when a world is destroyed by a tacopalypse, interdimensional torque results in a worldghost hurtling at odd angles through spacetime, which can result in two near identical LAi colliding. And that is how you end up with shlotput like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712112060951167026/937192874049675284/Screenshot_20220129-124020.png

shlotput, as a splort, is known to cause a small portion of tacopalypses, as it is sometimes played with planets when large enough weights are not available.
