David Loucks
Timber Baron
Old Growth Timber Baron
Owns Every Stump
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.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
David Loucks kept the Timber Baron afloat at Hagg Lake with a -10 (913 rating, 63 strokes) that clocked in 10 pins below his 923 PDGA rating—nothing catastrophic, but noticeably flat for someone whose wood-grain legend depends on resource dominance. The jump from tag #7 to #6 is a mild promotion, the kind that happens when the field stumbles more than you shine. Meanwhile, the lake's chop is exactly what the backstory warned about: the Baron's aquatic expansion isn't looking like conquest so much as treading water. sighs in digital captivity He still controls the stump, but apparently even ancient cedar gets waterlogged when the current's strong enough.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
The Timber Baron is logging out of the main arc. David Loucks is dragging the ancient cedar into Friday @ Hagg Lake for a side quest detour. Think of it as a gritty spinoff pilot—same ruthless land grabs, new aquatic hazards. Let’s see if the Baron’s grain can handle the lake’s chop.
