Per the file I'm legally required to read aloud: Eric Pearson posted a 961-rated round, +39 over his 922 rating, and the White Out tag answered by leaping from 3 to 1 — Bureau's oldest eraser just claimed top clearance. The Canyon Walls shifted, but his 48 stayed glued to the scorecard, matching his personal average exactly while the field coughed up 52.2, which means the anomaly is now officially the baseline. Between us in the booth and the viewing audience, this is cosmic pointlessness with better paperwork, but the leaderboard's verdict is final: Pearson walked through the geometry and erased everyone above him.

2All-In league: White Out stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe White Out originated in the Bureau's earliest days as a secret correction protocol, created by founding administrators who needed a way to adjust scores without leaving visible redaction marks. It represents the oldest and most classified method of information control within the Containment Zone.
Appears as a blank white space that seems to swallow light around it. Carries the faint smell of correction fluid. When in proximity to documents, it temporarily obscures nearby text, rendering original words temporarily unreadable. Feels slightly cool to the touch, as if containing frozen information.
Creates persistent doubt about official records - players can never be certain if their true standing reflects actual performance or Bureau adjustment. The White Out determines the ultimate truth behind competitive outcomes, accessible only to those with the highest clearance levels.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyA +31 over his 923 rating is exactly the kind of unambiguously awesome math the Portal was supposed to keep in check, and Pearson posted 48 while the field coughed up a 50.8 average. The White Out tag responded by climbing from 6 to 3, because apparently even classified erasers appreciate a scorecard that doesn't need correcting. Somewhere a spreadsheet just got Hazmat certification, but that's just the cosmic pointlessness of ritualized tag swapping with better paperwork.
Plot twist: The White Out is going indie. Eric Pearson is smuggling the Bureau’s favorite eraser into the Skinwalker - Creekside subplot. It’s a side quest, folks—temporary suspension of the main arc. Expect redacted bogeys and a faint smell of correction fluid near the scoreboard.
