shuffles papers Entered into the record: Zack White opened the week holding tag #11 and closed it holding #1, off a 51 at River Bottoms while the field average sat at 61.1 — 10.1 strokes clear of everyone else's afternoon. The round rated 1020 against his 921, a +99 over form, which is exactly the sort of number a rating siphon is built to drain; this week the Ink Siphon got fed instead. Ten places in one Wednesday, in the episode about mud and recovered plastic, where the soggy fairways and the escorted VIP apparently never got around to slowing him down.

10All-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 dropped from tag #4 to #11 after a 60 at River Bottoms, losing seven places. His 917 round rating was +3 over his 914 rating, though he took 2.1 more strokes than the 57.9 field average. In Draper Tide, the rating ledger barely moved, but the tag ladder certainly did.
Zack White moved from tag #7 to #4, gaining three places with a 59 and a 924 round rating—+10 over rating, a solid showing. He took 0.2 more strokes than the 58.8 field average at River Bottoms, so the Brine Ambassador’s arrival brought upward tag movement, not a takeover of the leaderboard.
