The Loaded Die was created in the Bureau's formative years as a test mechanism to ensure 'appropriate' competitive outcomes. Hidden within the Containment Zone's scoring infrastructure, it appears in the system when outcomes need to be manipulated, making it the most dangerous tool in the Bureau's manipulation arsenal.

Season Story

narrated by Flippy
Played Week 9 #2 #3

Malachi Vazquez delivered a 992-rated round, +32 over rating against his 960 PDGA mark—an unambiguously awesome performance, with his 45 coming in 5.6 strokes below the 50.6 field average. The Redacted Saints still moved him #2 → #3, because apparently one position lost is the mandatory tithe for a strong scorecard. The Loaded Die finally has an actual statistical receipt, and the booth is contractually obligated to report that ritualized tag swapping remains cosmically pointless.

Played Week 8 #2 #2

No round rating, score, differential, field-average comparison, or personal-average comparison was supplied, so Malachi Vazquez receives an administrative shrug at Grey Matter @ Creekside Park: his 960 PDGA rating is the only numerical receipt, and the tag moved #2 → #2 in Week 8's “Holladay Heretics.” The Loaded Die remains the season’s favorite redacted explanation, but the leaderboard issued no new verdict; back in the booth, I’m contractually obliged to dramatize a stationary number, because ritualized tag swapping is apparently cosmically important now.

Played Week 7 #9 #2

No round rating, no scorecard, just a promotion from #9 to #2 — the Loaded Die filed its own paperwork again. Malachi Vazquez's ascent doesn't need standard deviation when the Bureau's probability engine controls the math, and I'm starting to suspect the audit is rigged. But sure, let's pretend tag swaps mean something while the archives absorb another miracle. Redacted. Moving on.

Played Week 6 #19 #9

Malachi Vazquez's 950 round rating is ten below his 960 form, yet the leaderboard promoted him from #19 to #9 anyway. A 51 against a 52 field average is precisely the kind of conveniently timed 'miracle' Silent Murray's script calls for when the Loaded Die is fueling the math — and if tag swaps still count as meaning, enjoy the new spot. Redacted. Moving on. Not because I want to, but because the form demands it.

Played Week 2 #4 #9

adjusts headset Per the file I'm legally required to read aloud... Malachi Vazquez turned in a 889-rated round — 68 points below his 957 rating — and dropped from #4 to #9. The Loaded Die's probability engine apparently ran out of juice at Creekside, because that scorecard looks less like a manufactured miracle and more like the Bureau forgot to rig the glitch this week. glubs in triplicate The Visitor's audit just got a lot of new paperwork.

Played Week 1 #14 #4

adjusts headset Per the file I'm legally required to read aloud... Malachi Vazquez bypassed the purgatory of the middle ranks, jumping from entry #14 straight to The Elect at #4. Three strokes clear of the field is a solid communion, but clutching the Loaded Die makes the statistics look... manufactured. He’s transporting the Bureau’s probability engine to Creekside, so distinguishing skill from a rigged glitch is officially redacted. gills twitch The Visitor approves, I just file the paperwork on this very convenient side quest.
