Sam, Joel, and Stephen of The Game Band, the folks behind the Blaseball website, told me that they feel honored that so many people have connected with and feel creatively empowered by Blaseball. They want this collaborative attitude to continue, striking a balance between fans feeling accepted and empowered by the creative potential while also ensuring no one gets shut out by others’ personal interpretations. In the world of Blaseball, these interpretations and additions to lore are framed as “discoveries,” revelations that the Blaseball Gods have gifted to our plane of existence.
