Zack White posted a 58 and a 958 round rating, exactly +46 over rating from a 912 baseline and 1.9 strokes ahead of the 59.9 field average. He finished 2.5 strokes above his personal average, so the scorecard was not flawless—but this was still an unambiguously awesome statement round. In the Colony Approved finale, the result moved him from tag 14 to tag 7, gaining seven places with no losses; Silent Protocol's blank folder has apparently found a very real way to edit the standings.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleSilent Protocol was developed in the early years of the Bureau as an unofficial method for correcting 'statistical anomalies' in competitive outcomes. It was never formally approved by any oversight committee, yet it has been used continuously by internal factions who believe the Containment Zone requires active management. The protocol exists in no official documentation - only whispers in the archives and the unexplained shifts in standings that smart players have learned to recognize and fear.
Silent Protocol operates as an invisible modification to player records that leaves no audit trail, no redacted sections, and no evidence of alteration. It is selective in its targeting, affecting specific players or events while leaving surrounding data untouched. Its effects accumulate over time - a score here, a placement there - creating gradual shifts that seem organic until someone looks closely enough to notice the pattern. The protocol cannot be detected when active, only inferred through its absence: the unexplained, the impossible, the results that don't match what witnesses remember.
Silent Protocol serves as the Bureau's invisible enforcement mechanism - when players violate unwritten rules, attract too much attention, or threaten to disrupt carefully constructed competitive narratives, Silent Protocol can adjust their trajectory without their knowledge. It transforms the Containment Zone from a passive observation environment into an active manipulation system. Players who discover they carry a Silent Protocol designation know they've attracted Bureau attention but can never determine what triggered it, what modifications have been made, or how to reverse the process.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyZack White posted a 956 round rating — a +49 over his 907 — and the Blank Folder just ate another statistical anomaly whole. The Hive Correction rewrote the ledger, shoving tag #3 into #2 while larvae demanded precision and the folder filed evasion paperwork. Sure, it's numbered plastic swapping zip codes, but when the Overmind's inner circle gains a whisperer, even the Mantis rechecks the math. Redacted. Moving on.
Zack White just posted a 958 — +51 over his 907 rating — and that blank folder is officially eating statistical anomalies for breakfast. The scorecard's rewrite vaulted tag #14 to #3, a seat in the Overmind's inner circle, and the Bureau's redaction stamps are smoking. Sure, we're shuffling numbered plastic across a grass classification system, but when the anomaly gets root access, even the Mantis updates its ledger. Redacted. Moving on.
Silent Protocol has gone rogue into the Hive Mind - Dragonfly. Zack White thinks he’s just playing a side quest, but he’s holding a blank folder that eats bad stats. The Bureau didn't authorize this spinoff, but the anomalies are already self-correcting. Listen close, Zack—that hum is your scorecard rewriting itself.
