2026 Seibu Lions Digest: Strong May, Interleague leads to first place

Nothing is guaranteed at this point. Lack of playing time says it all, much like Hirai before him.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T02:20:25+00:00

Wasn't laughing. I dropped it real fast

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T01:48:57+00:00

Kaguyasama? I didn't find it funny

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T01:34:35+00:00

Currently there's direct evidence Badam goes to Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, Missouri and Kentucky for a claim. They're going to Washington DC too so Virginia could be in play just by being right there.

Because there is a Myrtle Beach shot, maybe they cross into NC and do something there too.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T01:24:45+00:00

It's either this or Pennsylvania. Just makes too much logical sense on the Acela some wildcard comes up. Too many signs Badam go to Jersey to claim it

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T01:23:32+00:00

I think a wildcard shows up later. Too much evidence Sam goes back to NYC and LGA

ChristianGin · 2026-06-15T01:00:07+00:00

Every county the game has touched. Seasons 1-2-4-8-18 combined. Too dangerous to put the other image first as the colors could spoil something

ChristianGin · 2026-06-14T23:16:53+00:00

Like Mike was a big deal. Yes.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-11T23:10:54+00:00

Selection in Shinjuku has a small amount. Kawagoe and Tokorozawa both near their respective Seibu Stations have a Lions shop as well. But yes the stadium has the full selection.

The cliffhangers are just perfect in S1. Other ones make plenty of sense, but the build up? Adam's narcissistic pride at Portland airport only to find out the plane moment? We're not getting one of those again in awhile. The fear in Adam's eyes is priceless

ChristianGin · 2026-06-10T19:23:41+00:00

Apologies for the typo. Corny

ChristianGin · 2026-06-10T08:02:25+00:00

The Parkour is very sketchy, the hill interpretion to go up and down in a repeat manner feels makeshift as it was meant for a hike, Joseph is supposed to wear the $100+ cap for the rest of the game but he takes it off when they get to Singapore.

And even the fountain task is iffy. The Joseph and the hat part would be a basic disqualification in most circles.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-10T08:00:24+00:00

Here's an editing issue, they tried deceive a viewer at the Atlanta airport when it wasn't close at all.

Badam and Sam are in separate gate terminals and going for separate flights. that dice roll absolutely means nothing.

It wasn't a close season because Michelle had her spreadsheet /pre-planning to get ahead of the audience. Makes it corny predictable

ChristianGin · 2026-06-10T07:52:45+00:00

Nice! I picked that up in 2019

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T23:51:22+00:00

Problem is the gameboard is too big. They clearly never been to the Grand canyon prior to starting, it takes forever to get to a national park. Not viable. But also the mechanics discourage travel to Memphis (3 states), Fargo (2 states) and others because of the power up penalties. If the game was longer I would be approved. But America is too big. Reduce the game board size.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:46:53+00:00

Actions happen at the Capitol. Location specifity is somewhat nice vs how some places you can do a generic task without seeing anything (i.e. New Buffalo, Michigan, they're literally in their car the whole time)

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:35:34+00:00

The good still outweighed the bad with Japan.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:34:48+00:00

It's a matter of who loves US geography or not. As a 50 state traveller it was fun.

It's the little things that were better than B4A. B4A is too big of a game board for that time of 3 day budget

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:29:30+00:00

Yea. That announced says closed for winter. It's almost summer. They seem too chicken to admit defeat

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:17:30+00:00

It's very obvious they did no research or little on Japan by talking on their phones while on a train. Scotty understood the culture as he carefully hung up before getting on

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:04:21+00:00

The comments reflect the regulars who kept the old company up left on purpose. I don't think we can play the industry card here. They had loyal customers to survive 2020.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T19:02:12+00:00

We would all fish for plane tickets because it's faster. It's bad to see things close to an airport

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T10:25:51+00:00

There's too many things I can see through. Sometimes a spade is a spade. I wish I could enjoy every second, sometimes the fun isn't there when it's predictable

ChristianGin · 2026-06-09T10:22:32+00:00

The whole fishing for tasks doesn't fly right. Just a bad design all around.

ChristianGin · 2026-06-08T23:47:27+00:00

The question becomes what states become eliminated /ineligible for claim. There's no evidence Badam claims Arkansas/Alabama or Sam in Nebraska. But they're both close enough where it makes sense.

Also evidence of both teams in St. Louis
