Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Due to absence from Week 7 (Traitor's Sting), tag number moved from 19 to 20. (Week 7 of 8)
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
According to Viking sagas, the Dropa Decipherer originated when a group of Norse explorers encountered the mysterious Dropa stones in the Himalayas. These scholars, touched by both Norse magic and the stones' alien inscriptions, transformed into beings capable of understanding all written languages. They returned to the Viking lands as living libraries.
The Dropa Decipherer possesses an eidetic memory for written language and can interpret any script, no matter how ancient or obscure. Its fingers elongate into delicate tendrils that can trace the finest inscriptions, and its eyes glow faintly when deciphering texts. The creature emits a low hum when processing complex information.
Within the Rune Seekers, the Dropa Decipherer serves as chief translator and cryptographer, working directly under Sigrid the Wise to decode ancient runestones, artifacts, and manuscripts that may contain knowledge about the Kraken's origins or vulnerabilities.
The Rune Seekers are a group of Viking scholars, sages, and explorers who believe that the key to defeating the Kraken lies in uncovering ancient artifacts and deciphering the secrets of the runes. They prioritize knowledge, wisdom, and cunning over brute force, and their understanding of the arcane arts gives them a unique advantage in the hunt for the Kraken.
Sigrid the Wise is a renowned Viking sage and scholar who leads the Rune Seekers. With an unparalleled understanding of the runes and a keen intellect, Sigrid has dedicated her life to unraveling the mysteries of the gods and the Kraken. Her wisdom, foresight, and mastery of the arcane make her an invaluable asset in the hunt for the legendary beast.
Due to absence from Week 7 (Traitor's Sting), tag number moved from 19 to 20. (Week 7 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 6 (Thor's Hammer), tag number moved from 19 to 19. (Week 6 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 5 (Odin's Gambit), tag number moved from 19 to 19. (Week 5 of 8)
Origin of Dropa Decipherer:
Born when a drunk Viking scholar mistook a grocery list for ancient runes, this tag now "deciphers" scores like a caffeine-deprived Rosetta Stone intern. Its "eidetic memory" just means it never lets you forget that one time you shanked into a pond. Yes, we’re really doing Norse alien lore for plastic tags. Marvelous.
(Yes, the tendrils are just overcooked spaghetti. Shhh.)
"Ancient texts" my axe—this tag’s real power? Judging your form.
How Mark Allison Became Dropa Decipherer's First Victim:
The tag chose him not for his 936 rating (mediocre by Kraken standards), but because he once threw a putter so hard it literally carved runes into a tree. Dropa Decipherer mistook this act of vandalism for "divine script" and latched onto his bag like a drunk octopus at a seafood buffet. Now it "translates" his shanks into "ancient prophecies." Riveting.
Can Mark live up to being the Rosetta Stone of bad hyzers? Or will the tag "accidentally" fall into a lake?
