secret project

Hi Wings! please read this Google doc about a super secret project!

Neat so is this the place that we could compose the thing that our team would contribute?

As of posting this we have <28 hours so lemme throw some ideas out for the team-wide (I can work on making this sound less, uh, shitpost-y later, but u know, ball, rolling, etc.):

• we GOTTA reference the lawsuit
• it's a great call-and-response
• we're SO small but BANDED TOGETHER for a COMMON CAUSE let us quite literally affect the world!
• tbh this is a big reason I personally love blaseball - as Kes put it in the discord "no one is the main player"
• + the devs own admission "community is the path thru chaos" - that's a very hopeful feeling! "Have hope" indeed!
• [I am forcibly removed offstage sobbing "a better world is possible"]

Feel free to take this in part or in whole; if I don't hear anything back from anyone else re: team-wide, I'll just put this in as my own personal submission in [squints at clock] nine and a half hours, since that's the last time I'll be on before the deadline.

On behalf of the Mexico City Wild Wings: thank you. As a small team in a numbers game, the odds are stacked against us “winning” the “game,” but that’s not really what we’ve gotten out of Blaseball. Our small size does not mean we have little pride or puny dreams; quite the opposite. So, in response to our “demotion” in-game, we took action: the lawsuit. Fighting the gods? Too passé – let’s sue them instead. Show the gods and everyone else who we – WE – always were, are, and will be, mainstream opinion be damned. We had a common “enemy” in society’s dismissal of our true selves, and we gave our all to prove them wrong. And in the end, we weren’t merely acknowledged, but went on the books as being the one true authority on who we really are. That’s not the only story - not the only dialogue - the Blaseball framework has let us tell, but it’s an important one, with a conclusion we should all aspire to. Thanks for making a better world not just seem possible, but achievable.

I'm happy to back that as a message on behalf of the wings

OK I'm gonna take that as quorum and submit it in the group-wide one.

IF someone feels really strongly that it SHOULDN'T be, I give you permission to DM someone listed on the doc on my behalf and say "actually TigrisomaOfficial#3070 meant to submit that in the individual players form." For now I gotta head to work where I'll be offline until (most likely) after deadline.
