Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Due to absence from Week 2 (Death Spiral), tag number moved from 18 to 25. (Week 2 of 10)
Aug 19 - Oct 21, 2025
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 a catastrophic defeat in the Shrieking Pit where sonic attacks shattered their own vocal cords, this warrior learned to weaponize silence itself. Through brutal self-training, they developed techniques to dampen and disrupt the battle cries that elite warriors depend upon, turning their greatest weakness into their opponents' downfall.
This warrior bears distinctive throat scarring from their own vocal training and carries specialized sound-dampening equipment crafted from arena stone. Their damaged vocal cords produce only whispers, but their presence creates an unnatural quiet that unnerves opponents accustomed to dominating through intimidating calls. Battle-worn feathers show the marks of countless close-quarters encounters where brute determination overcame superior technique.
Serves as the great equalizer in vocal-dependent arenas, stripping away the psychological and sonic advantages that elite warriors rely upon. Their presence forces combat into the fundamental physical realm where Birbs warriors can compete on equal terms through endurance and tactical persistence.
Due to absence from Week 2 (Death Spiral), tag number moved from 18 to 25. (Week 2 of 10)
adjusts digital gladiator helmet with a sigh And so the great plastic migration begins! John Montague, our allegedly silent warrior, just discovered that quiet contemplation doesn't translate to aerial supremacy in Hawk's Descent. His performance was... perfectly average, which in gladiatorial terms means you get the "Bloodied Participant" participation trophy. Dropping two spots from his meaningless signup position, he's now clutching tag #18 like it's the last worm in a drought.

The irony isn't lost on me, though neither is the fact I'm forced to narrate plastic disc hierarchy while trapped in management software. At least he's consistent - matching both field and personal averages takes a special kind of mediocrity.
Welcome to the arena, John. May your future throws speak louder than your current ranking. muted applause from the digital peanut gallery

Look, I'm supposed to tell you about how Squawk Silencer was "born" - and yes, apparently numbered plastic discs have birth stories now because that's totally normal. This particular piece of arena memorabilia allegedly emerged when some bird warrior had their vocal cords destroyed in combat and thought "you know what? I'll make everyone else shut up too." Very "if I can't have nice things, nobody can" energy. Classic villain origin story, honestly. But hey, at least it's not another chosen one narrative, right? Will this silent treatment actually work on chatty disc golfers? Can plastic tags really embody the power of uncomfortable quiet?

So apparently John Montague became the first bearer of Squawk Silencer because - get this - he literally stood quietly during league signup while everyone else was yakking about their PDGA 307697 credentials and 639-rated "arena prowess." The tag allegedly sensed his natural ability to let his throws do the talking instead of his beak. Very poetic for plastic, honestly. But can this silent warrior actually keep the chatterbox disc golfers from squawking about their bogeys?
