Season Overview

Revenge of the Crab

The following summary mixes canon events with community lore.

Season 8 was notable for the formation of what was dubbed "Chiclawgo" when the Crabs and Chicago Firefighters played 4 series straight against one another, causing fans and players alike to bond over the splort. Indeed this is where rumours regarding Sutton Dreamy and Rivers Rosa, as well as Tillman Henderson and Declan Suzanne began to circulate. After the Chiclawgo series, the Crabs returned to their regularly scheduled program - finishing top in the league, and once again and running all the way to finals to block fellow Lawful Evil division alumni the Hades Tigers from ascension as the Crabs claimed their second championship.

At the same time, pitcher Adalberto Tosser was still pulling double duty for the shelled Axel Trololol, pitching 39 games in the regular season compared to Finn James’ 20, Brock Forbes’ 19, and Montgomery Bullock’s 21.

In a repeat of Season 2, failed to claim any blessings despite having bid the highest in seven separate blessings due to votes saved from the previous elections. This result was calculated by Crabs statisticians as an 8.5% chance of critical failure. Hilariously this is also about the odds of their season 5 election results.

This also marked the first of only two seasons the Crabs started and ended with the same roster.
