Olde One

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

The Olde One (also known as The MotherCrab, Mr. Trash Wheel, The Deep One, They Who Lay In Slumber Under The Oldest Bay, The Indomitable Snip, She of the Eternal Shuffle, He of the Omniscent Ommatophores, “That There Big Crab”, Our Lady of the Impenecrable Shell, Ny'el'g'shuth Sh'ai'c'll'll'claroth, and Big Debrah) is an entity that currently lies dormant in Baltimore Harbor, considered by members and fans of the Baltimore Crabs to be a deity with power to influence blaseball.

Relationship to the Crabs

The Big Crab is said to have the capacity to bless the players of the Baltimore Crabs, and is rumored to be the one responsible for PolkaDot Patterson's unusual 87 fingers. Members of the Baltimore Crabs are known to worship The MotherCrab as opposed to the gods of Blaseball. This unusual conviction was later ratified by The Commissioner after the happenings of the Blaseball-Glolf Clonflict, as recompense for The MotherCrab's aid as well as its silence. The Big Crab is fed by the resonant psychic energy and peanuts produced by the game of Blaseball.

Controversies

Some sources claim that PolkaDot Patterson is, rather than a blaseball player blessed by The Big Crab, a reincarnation of Mr. Trash Wheel itself. Official experts on Carcinianity dispute this claim, citing various religious texts. One of the most commonly cited texts states:

They Who Lay In Slumber Under The Oldest Bay shan't be killed, as such would mean they have lived." -Crabitalism, Georg 3: 11-17, Horx Myxln.

This doctrine has lost even more support due to Patterson's defection to the Canada Moist Talkers at the beginning of Season 3. However, stout believers maintain that Patterson is still an incarnation of Big Debrah, and that this is the beginning of the grand carcinization.

While it is commonly accepted that Ny'el'g'shuth Sh'ai'c'll'll'claroth lays dormant in Baltimore harbor, other interpretations of sacred texts might suggest Lake Ontario, Niagara Falls, the Hang Son Doon cave system, or even Marineland Location 237-1 found in London England to be their resting site.

Due to many striking similarities, it is commonly thought that Debra Barlone from the hit series Everyone Loves Raylmond is directly inspired by Big Debrah. This, however, has been staunchly denied by Phlilip Rosenthlal, citing in an interview that he "simply loves [...] my wife [...] and didn't mean any connection that there may be".
