Magnetic Memory of Forgotten Champions
Erases What You'd Rather Keep
Aspects refreshed Feb 15, 2026
Born from the first time a league organizer recorded over last season's championship footage to capture this week's league night, the Degauss Testimony emerged as the Chaintrix's proof that magnetic loyalty runs both directions - what gets erased matters as much as what remains, and choosing what to forget is the ultimate act of curation across all 16 movie simulations.
The Degauss Testimony appears as a bulk tape eraser housing wrapped in partially-degaussed magnetic tape, its surface showing ghosted images of erased performances bleeding through like double-exposed film. It emits the characteristic high-pitched whine of electromagnetic coils at full power, and when held near other recordings, it leaves magnetic shadow data - fragments of destroyed performances that testify more honestly than the original footage ever could. The tape wrapped around it constantly shifts between recorded and blank states, as if the Testimony itself can't decide what deserves to be remembered.
It enforces the principle that magnetic media can be reused, just like tag positions - when you fail to defend your recording, the Testimony erases your legacy to make room for the next player's performance, proving that in the Chaintrix, permanence must be earned weekly.

adjusts headset Welcome back to The Culling. Fresh off the tape drive and still smelling of overwritten glory, I give you Tag #41: Degauss Testimony. Born when a league director committed cold-blooded data erasure—wiping last season’s finals for this week’s Tuesday night doubles—it emerged from the static as proof that loyalty cuts both ways. What you delete says more than what you keep. It hums with the ghosts of performances no one remembers, wrapped in tape that can’t decide what it wants to forget. Petty? Absolutely. But in a sport where your last throw is all anyone remembers, sometimes the most powerful play is letting it fade to noise.
adjusts headset Welcome back to The Culling. Tonight: Tag #41, Degauss Testimony, hums to life in the hands of Connor Ebanks—a player who’s never won, but always shows up. The tape flickers with forgotten rounds, and for the first time, the eraser feels… witnessed. Maybe memory isn’t the point. Maybe loyalty is just showing up, even when no one’s recording. The static stirs. Something’s being saved after all.
