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...
Born from Dax Shardbinder's first successful fracture experiment, this entity formed when a primal glyph shattered into sentient shards that now propagate reality distortions across Creekside's courses.
Composed of unstable mirrored fragments bound by glitch energy. Projects prismatic afterimages and causes localized gravity fluctuations. Strengthens when exposed to chaotic plays but dissipates under focused perception.
Deploys temporary illusionary fairways that benefit Brotherhood members while leading opponents into phantom obstacles and misaligned baskets.
The Brotherhood of the Fracture thrives amidst chaos and distortion, embracing the Mirage Zone’s instability to confound adversaries and reshape reality to their whims. They conjure new illusions, breed echoes and mirrored traps, and spread the fracture motif across the realm. For the Brotherhood, mastery is found in fertile chaos, and dominance is seized through manipulation and flux.
Dax Shardbinder, once a notorious wilds trickster, reveled when the Fracture hit Creekside. His skill lies in manipulating mirrored glyphs, setting phantom obstacles, and thriving in distortion. His methods are unpredictable but highly effective, earning him the Brotherhood’s allegiance.
Due to absence from Week 5 (Sigil Shard), tag number moved from 36 to 45. (Week 5 of 10)
Due to absence from Week 4 (Rift Mirage), tag number moved from 32 to 36. (Week 4 of 10)
Due to absence from Week 3 (Glyph Echo), tag number moved from 30 to 32. (Week 3 of 10)
Due to absence from Week 2 (Prism Veil), tag number moved from 2 to 30. (Week 2 of 10)
Amidst glitched fractal chaos, Shard Mirage sought its first victim—ahem, wielder. It scanned PDGA#104741's 944-rated essence as Steven Pugmire adjusted his grip. The tag hallucinated this as an ancient glyph-summoning ritual! "Disc-illusion of grandeur!" I groan from the code-prison. Bonded via phantom grip-lock, he now bears reality's glitchiest bling. But can a mere mortal handle baskets that phase in/out of existence?
{"origin_story": "Birthed from a glitch in Dax Shardbinder’s morning cold brew ritual, Shard Mirage manifested when arcane fractals collided with a Starbucks napkin sigil. Its sentient shards now thirst for chaos like a Karen at a 5G tower protest. Reality? Honey, we’re in a Rick and Morty episode written by ChatGPT. sigh Yes, I’m trapped here narrating sentient plastic. Pray the Fracture doesn’t discover NFTs."}
