Embers For Eyes Your Misses Write Themselves Culling Day Is My Birthday

The Dead Reckoning was born from the first culling in the Deadlands, when the frontier's supernatural laws first took hold. The original survivor, a dying mathematician, calculated his way through elimination using pure probability - and when he emerged as the first remembered, his ghost became the living ledger that tracks all who follow.

Season Story

Played Week 9 #5 #4

adjusts headset David LaTour posted a 736 — a brutal -103 below his 839 rating — and the Ghost Mathematician's ledger just added another chapter to its collection of preserved failures. The +1 tag climb from #5 to #4 is a statistical mirage: you're still half-pickled in the brine, just closer to the jar's lid. drops announcer voice Your misses write themselves, and tonight they autographed a whole salt flat.

Played Week 5 #1 #5

adjusts headset The Dead Reckoning's math is a cruel arithmancer: David LaTour posted a 792 — a stark -47 below his 839 rating — and tumbled from #1 to #5, swapping Fresh territory for the salt-line in a single round. Last week he was +15 and fully cured; this week the brine's lapping at his knees, and the ledger's already scribbling his name in the Specimen column. The Ghost Mathematician must be cackling: your misses write themselves, and LaTour's back nine just autographed a whole chapter.

Played Week 8 #2 #1

David LaTour posted an 854 — a +15 over his 839 rating — and climbed from #2 to #1, reclaiming the Fresh tier after last week's brine bath. adjusts headset The Dead Reckoning's ledger just got a correction: outperform your own math by a quiet +15 and the salt crust cracks. Last week he was half-pickled at -32 below rating; this week he's fully cured into the top spot. The arithmetic's cruel only until you outrun it — and LaTour just lapped the whole salt flat again.

Played Week 7 #1 #2

David LaTour posted an 807 — a bleak -32 below his 839 rating — and slid from #1 to #2 on the Preservation Protocol's brine-logged leaderboard. adjusts headset The Dead Reckoning's math is merciless: outperform and the brine spits you out; crater and it drags you back under. Last week he was fresh out of the salt flat; this week the ledger's got him half-pickled, wondering if that #1 spot was ever more than a mirage in the desert dust.

Played Week 6 #5 #1

David LaTour posted an 868 — a +29 over his 839 rating that turned a 54 into a three-stroke field beatdown — and finally cracked the Fresh tier, climbing from #5 to #1. adjusts headset The Dead Reckoning's ledger just got a new entry: outperform your own math, outperform the field, and the brine spits you out on top. Last week he was pickling at +17 over rating; this week he's fully cured into the lead. The arithmetic's cruel only until you outrun it — and LaTour just lapped the whole salt flat.

Field drift Week 2 #4 #5

Due to absence from Week 2 (Salt Lake Stagnation), tag number moved from 4 to 5. (Week 2 of 9)

Played Week 4 #3 #4

David LaTour's 856 round carved a clean +17 over his 839 rating — a solid flex that would've kept most players fresh. But the brine doesn't care about relative gains when the field average sits at 57.4. He shot 56, which is a 1.4-stroke win over the crowd, yet still slipped from #3 to #4. The Dead Reckoning's math is a cruel accountant: outperform your own average, beat the field, and the ledger still reaches for the salt shaker. Another week of statistical competence meeting a tag system that rewards chaos over consistency. The culling's embers keep burning, but at this rate, LaTour's pickling is a slow simmer, not a flash boil.

Played Week 3 #2 #3

David LaTour's 842 round matched his 839 rating to the decimal — a +3 differential that's more statistical shrug than supernatural statement. The Dead Reckoning's ledger doesn't reward treading water, and dropping from #2 to #3 proves the brine cares about preservation, not participation. Another week of matching your own average while the field average sits at 59.5, and yet the tag still slips. The gaunt specter's war against probability continues, but at this rate, the math might just pickle him before the culling even starts.
