==The ILB Semi-Centennial==
This section is about outcomes of the event affecting the Charleston Shoe Thieves, for a complete page on the event see ILB Semi-Centennial.
Following Day 117, the Semi-Centennial took place.
Former Shoe Thieves Gunther O'Brian, Tillman Henderson and James Nolan were pulled from the Hall of Flame and given to join the Rising Stars. The team also featured former Shoe Thieves Jaylen Hotdogfingers, then playing for the Boston Flowers. The opposing team, the Vault Legends, featured Goodwin Morin, who had been vaulted as a member of the Charleston Shoe Thieves.
During the game, Jaylen Hotdogfingers was approached and collected by the Legends during inning 6. Jaylen was then Artificially Forged, getting permanently Vaulted and moving to the Vault Legends roster in the process.
Lōotcrates, who was commentating the game, reacted with the message:
"Jaylen Hotdogfingers
Protagonist
Antagonist"
The same thing happened to Tillman Henderson during the 12th inning.
Lōotcrates reacted with a direct reference to the Noise-Cancelling Headphones from the Season 10 Elections.
"Tillman Henderson
Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Render One Immune to Criticism"
After the explosion of Sun(Sun) in the 29th inning, the event was cancelled and the game immediately ended.
Members of the Rising Stars who weren't active in the ILB when they joined were randomly redistributed:
*Abbott Wright, Pre-History player for the Oregon Psychics, fell to the Charleston Shoe Thieves.
*Recently incinerated Gunther O’Brian fell to the San Francisco Lovers.
*James Nolan, Pre-History player for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, fell to the Seattle Garages.
All three of them kept their modification.
