When The Chaintrix was first coded by a programmer who spent the 90s working at a video store, they modeled player worthiness on the film industry hierarchy - A-list stars get prominent placement on the main poster, B-movie actors get buried in the small print. B-Movie was the algorithm personified, created to perpetually sort players into their appropriate cinematic status.
B-Movie manifests as a floating, translucent movie screen that displays the player's 'current release' - widescreen and vibrant for Elite status, faded 4:3 for Preferred, and completely dark with red 'ACCOUNT SUSPENDED' stamped across it for eliminated players. The screen constantly flickers with VHS tracking lines, and when accessed, plays grainy footage of the player's performances. The entity is surrounded by the faint sound of a movie projector whirring and occasionally displays 'coming attractions' showing potential future outcomes.
B-Movie serves as the ultimate classification authority across all 16 movie simulations, determining visibility and prestige for every player. It cannot be bribed, faction-aligned, or manipulated - only earned through consistent performance or lost through abandonment. Every player's story is either a feature presentation or a forgotten B-movie, and B-Movie decides which theater you're screened in.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Spliced together from deleted scenes and a dusty VHS head cleaner, Tag 147 judges throwers like direct-to-video releases. It projects your stats in grainy 4:3, adding tracking errors to any shot lacking dramatic flair. The projector whirrs ominously; it’s waiting for you to get cut from the final reel.
Rich Palfy just snagged Tag 147, B-Movie. The screen flickered to grainy 4:3, sizing up his cinematic potential. Is this a blockbuster debut or straight-to-video? The simulation loves a bad premiere. Better bring some dramatic flair before the tracking errors roll.
