Zack White posted a 942-rated 55—+28 over rating—and moved the Ink Siphon from tag #3 to #1 in the Green Knight episode. The score matched the field average and finished one stroke above the personal average, so the tag leap came with a rating-led quiet flex; the archive’s Dragonfly satellite office has processed the paperwork to the top.

2All-In league: Ink Siphon stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Ink Siphon is older than the Accords themselves - it existed in the river clerk dimension as a creature of pure bureaucratic extraction, and when the treaty was formed, it was bound to serve as the mechanism that drains rating from players who sign the treaty.
The Ink Siphon is composed of flowing, dripping black and gold ink that shifts between liquid and semi-solid states. It possesses multiple sinuous tentacles that reach toward players with declining ratings. When active, it emits a low hum audible only to those approaching curse thresholds. The Siphon leaves visible trails of fading contract-text in its wake, and becomes progressively more visible as a player's rating drops closer to curse manifestation zones.
The Ink Siphon serves as the neutral extractor of the Salt Lake Accords - it doesn't judge or punish, it simply collects what's owed to the treaty, appearing whenever a player's rating-substance becomes unstable enough to begin flowing toward curse manifestation.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyZack White opened Summer’s Blade with a 962-rated 54, dragging the Ink Siphon into the Green Court by its dripping tentacles. The entity’s low hum near the scoreboard was justified—that’s four spots gained from a starting assignment of seven. The waiver’s fine print is binding, even at Dragonfly. Third place in the premiere, zero curse tax, and a bureaucratic specter that now knows the way to the wetlands.
The Ink Siphon isn't leaving the series; it's just checking the satellite office. Zack White signed the waiver for Summer's Blade, so the entity is sliding over to Dragonfly Thursday to process the local paperwork. Expect dripping gold trails on hole 4 and a low hum near the scoreboard. The main plot pauses while the bureaucracy audits the side quest.
