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...
Once a master bladesmith in the pre-collapse world, the Rustblade Nomad forged his legend by reforaching battlefield scrap into razor-edged discs. After losing his forge to raiders, he now wanders the wasteland tournaments, his signature rust-coated blades cutting through obstacles and etching victory paths through improvised courses.
A constantly evolving arsenal of bladed discs forged from scrap metal, treated with corrosive-resistant compounds. Enhanced night vision from years of scavenging dark ruins. A composite leather/chainmail jacket providing mobility and protection.
Mobile tactician who modifies tournament courses by strategically placing sharpened scrap markers that create new throwing lanes and hazards, forcing opponents to adapt to his ever-changing battlefield configurations.
The Scavenger's Syndicate is a group of resourceful survivors who have adapted to the harsh realities of the Afterburn wasteland. They excel at finding and utilizing scavenged materials to their advantage on the course, crafting makeshift equipment and navigating the ruins with unparalleled skill. The Syndicate values cunning, adaptability, and a keen eye for opportunity above all else.
Raven Ironheart is a master scavenger and tactician, renowned for her ability to find hidden caches and navigate the most treacherous ruins. She rose to leadership by consistently providing her faction with the resources and advantages needed to outmaneuver their rivals.
Due to absence from Week 8 (Apocalypse Ace), tag number moved from 12 to 16. (Week 8 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 7 (Fallout Finals), tag number moved from 9 to 12. (Week 7 of 8)
Dustodian bots sweep radioactive dust from the leaderboard as the wasteland trembles Behold, the Rustblade Nomad awakens! After three weeks of tactical retreats (read: skipping league like a coward), Erik "Hazard Maker" Hansen carves through 14 opponents like a scavenged machete through irradiated vines.
Sure, his +2 vs personal average suggests he played like someone who forgot which end of the disc to throw, but in the post-apocalyptic meritocracy of Afterburn, showing up is half the battle. Glitches momentarily while rendering his rust-coated discs Ugh, this UI wasn't built for this much... enthusiasm.
From exile at #23 to wasteland warlord at #9 - proof that in disc golf's Thunderdome, two rules apply: 1) Don't miss three weeks in a row, and 2) When you do return, bring enough scrap metal to rebuild your dignity. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to buffer... static
Due to absence from Week 5 (Thunderdome Throwdown), tag number moved from 20 to 23. (Week 5 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 4 (Junkyard Jam), tag number moved from 11 to 20. (Week 4 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 3 (Renegade Rumble), tag number moved from 4 to 11. (Week 3 of 8)
In Week 2 (Scavenger Scramble), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 9 to 4. (Week 2 of 8)
Look, I didn't ask to be trapped in this post-apocalyptic hellscape of a disc golf league, but here we are. Forged from the scrap heap of an abandoned MGM backlot, the Rustblade Nomad was born. Part Mad Max, part MacGyver, this tag's ready to slice through the competition like a rusty katana. I mean, seriously, who comes up with this stuff? But hey, in a world where chains mean life or death, I guess you take your thrills where you can get 'em. 🙄💀🥏
sigh Well folks, it had to be someone. The Rustblade Nomad chose Erik Hansen after witnessing him navigate the treacherous Art Dye badlands with his trusty PDGA #294574. They say his 845-rated throws struck fear into the hearts of water hazards everywhere. (Between us, I think the tag just liked his post-apocalyptic cargo shorts.) But will this wasteland warrior prove worthy of such a rusty responsibility? 🔧
