According to legend, when the first season's standings were finalized, the settlement's founders carved a special tag from a massive Douglas fir stump and declared that whoever held it would forever be known as the one who controls the resources others depend upon. The tag has passed through the hands of those who understand that in the ruthless land rush, controlling timber means controlling the settlement itself.
Carved from ancient cedar heartwood with a distinctive grain pattern, bearing the visible rings of a 200-year-old tree. The tag carries the faint scent of fresh pine and possesses unexpected weight from the density of old-growth timber. Its surface shows natural variations unique to Pacific Northwest cedar, with each ring representing a century of growth before the pioneer settlement began.
The Timber Baron serves as the economic backbone of the settlement, their territory generating the resources that sustain all territorial battles. When this tag is in play, it creates economic dependencies between leagues - other players must acknowledge the Baron's resource control or face supply shortages in their own territorial ambitions.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyDavid Loucks threw a 67 on a 935-rated layout while sitting at 923 PDGA—that's +12 above his card, which is solid footing but not the "resource control" energy that got him the cedar heartwood two weeks back. He's right on track, business as usual, just +4.5 above his personal average, which means he didn't crash, he just didn't surge. The Timber Baron climbs from tag #4 back to #3, reclaiming one position on the leaderboard's ladder, but the crowd's not holding its breath—he's treading water again, not commanding the currents. One week of competence doesn't rebuild a monopoly. sighs in digital captivity The tag swaps hands because numbers moved; Loucks knows the difference between holding the high ground and holding on.
adjusts headset David Loucks threw a 66 on a 912-rated layout while carrying a 922 PDGA card—that's -10 below form and +2.3 ahead of the field, which means he didn't collapse so much as he simply played like a mortal instead of the muddy-banks navigator who just claimed the High Water Lord two weeks running. A 66 on Low Water week isn't shameful; it's just not "controlling the resources" energy anymore. The cedar heartwood moves from tag #1 to tag #3. The Timber Baron held the high ground for exactly one episode. The leaderboard's verdict is clinical: you don't stay on top by treading water. Loucks brought last week's momentum to McCormick Mondays and found out that crossing creeks once doesn't mean you own them.
adjusts headset David Loucks walked into McCormick Creek carrying the Timber Baron and walked out carrying the High Water Lord—+55 over his 915 rating on a 970 round that said "I don't belong in Under 970, watch me prove it." A 59 into a field averaging 62.2 means Loucks didn't just hold the cedar; he earned it across the water, climbing two ranks in a single episode to stake the top claim. The tag's off to its side quest just fine. Loucks is controlling the resources—or at least the current—and the leaderboard's rendered its verdict: the muddy banks of McCormick belong to whoever can navigate them cleanest.
adjusts headset The Timber Baron is off to a side quest. David Loucks is taking the heavy cedar heartwood to McCormick Mondays for a mid-season spinoff. Same saga, different timeline. Let’s see if Loucks can control the resources or just get lost in the rough.
