Nick Jennings held tag #2 with a 56, so the ritualized hierarchy remains exactly where it started. The round rated 892, exactly -12 below his 904 rating; two strokes over the 54.0 field average, but right on his 56.0 personal average. In the Front Smile episode, the Salt Veil files this as dry disappointment rather than collapse: no tag movement, just a courtier maintaining position while the leaderboard yawns.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleWhen the original signatories first carved the Salt Lake Accords into the bedrock of the valley, their combined magical intention crystallized into permanent supernatural substance - the Salt Veil. It now exists as the eternal boundary between the mortal game of disc golf and the bureaucratic afterlife of the Accords, manifesting wherever the treaty's power intersects with the physical world.
The Salt Veil appears as a shimmering curtain of suspended salt crystals along course boundaries, glowing with an ethereal blue-white luminescence in twilight. It responds to rating changes - when a player approaches curse thresholds, the Veil in their vicinity grows more transparent, revealing spectral glimpses of supernatural consequence. The Veil emits a faint hum that players describe as 'hearing the paperwork' and feels cold to the touch but leaves a burning sensation like concentrated salt. It forms most prominently along out-of-bounds lines and water hazards, turning every risky shot into a potential crossing point.
The Salt Veil serves as the living boundary determining when a player crosses from the mortal game into the Accords' supernatural jurisdiction. As players' ratings decline toward curse manifestation thresholds, the Veil surrounding them grows increasingly transparent, providing visible, audible, and visceral warnings that supernatural consequences approach. It transforms every round into a tension-filled navigation between safety and the bureaucratic underworld.
