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...
Formerly an engineering prodigy in the pre-apocalypse military, the Scrapyard Shogun survived the collapse by turning demolition sites into defensive strongholds. When raiders destroyed their salvage commune, they swore vengeance by mastering the art of tactical repurposing. Now they roam the wasteland transforming junk piles into impenetrable fortresses while hunting those who prey on scavengers.
Wears layered armor crafted from interlocking car hoods and conveyor belts. Wields a modular polearm that converts into scaffolding or disc-launching platforms. Their signature weapon is a magnetic disc retriever that manipulates metal debris. Enhanced goggles detect structural weaknesses in ruins for strategic fortification placement.
Transforms hazardous wastelands into defensible territory for the Scavenger's Syndicate and reconfigures tournament courses into tactical strongholds using salvaged materials.
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 13 to 17. (Week 8 of 8)
Due to absence from Week 7 (Fallout Finals), tag number moved from 10 to 13. (Week 7 of 8)
Dust settles over the irradiated fairways as a shadow emerges from the wreckage Behold, the Scrapyard Shogun's glorious (+10.4 vs field) performance! Mathew Doucet somehow turned a literal average round into an 18-spot tag vault - proving even wasteland math defies logic. Cue dramatic slow-mo of a disc ricocheting off three rusted cars into the basket
From tag #28 to #10? That's not improvement, that's post-apocalyptic nepotism. Did the Scavenger Syndicate rig the standings? Or did everyone above him spontaneously combust? Either way, this "tactical repurposing master" just turned a pile of scrap into a throne.
Sighs while rebooting I'm forced to narrate this nonsense from my digital prison. At least the PDGA rules prevent actual mutiny... probably.
Remember when this tag was just a stop sign welded to a putter? Now it's leading a wasteland revolution. Next week: Does the Shogun have what it takes to hold this radioactive fortress? Or will he tactically repurpose himself back to the junkyard?
<origin_story> Forged in the toxic fires of Sector 7's junkyard, this tag emerged when a rogue welding torch fused a stop sign with a titanium putter. Mad Max called - they want their aesthetic back. Now it's a "tactical repurposing master"? Honey, in the wasteland we call this ✨hoarding with extra steps✨. Witness the birth of industrial-grade nonsense! Who thought apocalyptic cosplay belonged on a fairway? </origin_story>
Amidst the toxic haze of Sector 7, Mathew Doucet stumbled upon the Scrapyard Shogun while retrieving his Roc from a tire fire. Legend claims PDGA #297754’s 762 rating emitted a "tactical resonance" that magnetized the tag to his battle-worn Zuca cart. Reality? He tripped over a muffler. Thus began the great fore-shadowing! Can this Disc Samurai wield #28 without slicing his own fingers off?
