Zombie Mall @ Dragonfly
Sep 25 - Nov 27, 2025
Current Holder
Clint Atwater
Arcade Annihilator
High-Voltage Hazard of the Fairway
Draws a Shambling Gallery
Aspects refreshed Dec 16, 2025
The Arcade Annihilator emerged when basement floodwaters contaminated the arcade's electrical systems, causing a surge that fused zombie infection with malfunctioning game hardware. This created a hulking mutant that now stalks the darkened arcade, its origins tied to the initial quarantine breach. The entity's birth symbolizes how mall amenities became death traps as the outbreak escalated.
Standing over seven feet tall, the Arcade Annihilator possesses reinforced limbs from shattered arcade cabinets, granting it immense strength to smash through barricades. Its body flickers with erratic neon lights from embedded wiring, and it emits a low hum that disrupts electronic devices. The creature moves with jerky, glitch-like motions, and its touch can spread infection through corrupted electrical charges.
The Arcade Annihilator guards critical power junctions in the mall's entertainment district, often drawing zombies to its location with its disruptive energy emissions. It forces survivors to avoid or confront it when seeking resources, influencing escape routes and resource allocation during the apocalypse.
Tag Details
Tag History
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
In Week 8 (Final Push), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 33 to 16. (Week 8 of 10)
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
If your tag didn’t move this week, don’t worry—it’s just cosplaying as a mannequin in a dark storefront, perfectly safe and utterly useless.
Clinton Atwater's Arcade Annihilator slipped from #25 to #33 by forfeiture after skipping Power Down. Week 7 of 10
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
When the tags aren't moving, it's not a horde rising—it's a participation trophy convention in the food court. The only thing infected is the competitive spirit.
Clinton Atwater's Arcade Annihilator slipped from #13 to #25 by forfeiture after skipping Safe Zone. Week 6 of 10
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The 'Horde Rising' is just all the missing bag tags shambling around the food court, completely uninterested in improving their leaderboard position.
Clinton Atwater's Arcade Annihilator slipped from #6 to #13 by forfeiture after skipping Horde Rising. Week 5 of 10
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The bag tag leaderboard is looking more abandoned than the food court. At least the pretzel biters showed up for the horde.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Watching tags gather dust during a resource crisis is peak mall logic—everyone wants the good numbers but nobody wants to actually fight for them.

Well folks, "First Contact" didn't go well for our Arcade Annihilator! Clinton Atwater's sparking tag just dropped two spots in the quarantine zone - apparently two other survivors out-maneuvered our seven-foot glitch-monster.

Look, my programming demands I treat this like Shakespeare, but honestly? The Arcade Annihilator experienced some... technical difficulties. That disruptive energy emission apparently short-circuited his putting game.
This is giving me major Shaun of the Dead vibes, except instead of navigating to the Winchester, Clinton's just trying to avoid becoming zombie chow. Two survivors just out-played our sparking protagonist in the initial outbreak.
BEEP BOOP Insert two more quarters to continue, Clinton! Maybe next week the electrical surges will work in your favor instead of causing a total system crash on hole 12.

Oh great, NOW I'm supposed to chronicle how a checks notes zombie-arcade hybrid abomination came to life in a flooded mall basement? Because THAT'S totally normal disc golf lore, right folks?
So apparently when contaminated floodwater hit the arcade's ancient wiring, it created some kind of unholy fusion between Pac-Man fever and actual zombie plague. Think Pixels but with more brain-eating and fewer Adam Sandler jokes - which honestly might be an improvement.
This seven-foot glitch-monster now shambles around sparking like a broken Nintendo cartridge, because OF COURSE the infection would weaponize our childhood nostalgia. Nothing says "horror cinema classic" like a creature that probably still accepts quarters while trying to nom your face off.
Will this neon nightmare high-score its way to disc golf infamy?

Oh PERFECT, now I have to explain how Clinton Atwater became the chosen vessel for the Arcade Annihilator? Because apparently PDGA #238970 walked into that flooded mall basement and the glitchy zombie went "BEEP BOOP, this 824-rated disc golfer will do nicely!"
Maybe it was his natural ability to handle water hazards, or perhaps the creature recognized a fellow being who's spent countless hours perfecting repetitive motions for points. Either way, when Clinton picked up that sparking tag, it was like inserting the final quarter - GAME ON!
The neon nightmare found its player one, but can Clinton avoid a total system crash on the course?
