* RandomNumberGod: Except for Decrees, elections do not choose whichever option got the most votes; instead, a vote is chosen randomly as the winner. So, piling more votes onto something increases its odds of success, but it's always possible for a single vote on something no one else wanted to get picked. This is mainly meant to stop the most popular teams from always winning, though it also allows for some degree of chaos and sabotage.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: At the end of Season 10, the Hall Stars, a team composed of the dead players who were given the most peanuts in the Hall of Flame, ''demolished'' the Shelled One's Pods, which until then had been unbeatable (and had just one-hit-killed the Baltimore Crabs). Dominic Marijuana, formerly of the New York Millennials, struck the final blow to the Pods with a home run, upon which the Monitor arrived and ''ate'' the Peanut.

* GrandFinale: Holy crap, was Season 10's postseason ever one of these for the Discipline Era. To summarize it...
** After the Crabs were reverse-swept by the Shoe Thieves in the Season 9 finale, Season 10 found the two facing off in the postseason once again. The Crabs proceeded to win the best of 5 three to *negative one* an impossible feat made possible by their opening a Black Hole upon reaching ten runs in the third game, despite Black Hole being a decree that had not even yet been *implemented,* and allowing the Crabs to finally claim ascension.
** Following this, the Peanut mocked and challenged the Crabs, showing no mercy. The Crabs didn't even get an entire inning, as a mere *single* from Wyatt Quitter obliterated their Team Spirit.

* CursedWithAwesome: Upon losing to the Shelled One's Pods after winning the 9th Internet Series, the Charleston Shoe Thieves were given the Flinch modifier, forcing them not to swing until they take their first strike. While this did lower their batting averages, it also had the unintended effect of greatly improving their plate discipline; as of the midpoint of Season 10, eight of the nine lineup players were within the top 10 in the league in walks taken, including the entire top 6, and the Shoe Thieves' record stood at a respectable 30-20.

Created by The Game Band, Blaseball is a text-based baseball sim released in July of 2020. The game includes twenty original teams, split into two leagues (with ten teams each), which are then split into two sub-leagues (with five teams each). Gameplay is simple. Every week, a new season of Blaseball begins. Players pick a team to root for and bet coins on the hourly games. With those coins, players can buy votes to lobby for Decrees, which fundamentally alter the game and its players, or for Blessings, which benefit their patron team. At the end of the season, votes are tallied and the most popular choices (may or may not, according to the whims of the Blaseball Gods) take effect at the beginning of the next season, and the cycle begins again.
