Can't Attack, Only Defend
Aspects refreshed May 09, 2026
The name originates from the first documented successful defense of a claim in the Stumptown Settlement - the defender used the natural snag formations at McCormick to stop three challengers in a single afternoon, establishing the precedent that claims could be held through superior positioning.
A reclaimed piece of snag wood - dark, gnarled, with visible rootwhorl patterns at the top where branches once grew. The surface is rough from decades in the water, embedded with small river stones. It feels heavier than other tags, and grows warmer to the touch when your claim is secure.
Snag Point is earned through demonstrated defensive prowess - players who successfully defend their claim against challengers accumulate snag status. The tag represents the player's ability to catch and stop challengers, like a snag catches driftwood, creating a season-long narrative of defensive excellence.

Salvaged from the Columbia’s silty grip, Tag #5 began as a defensive nightmare at McCormick. The lore says this gnarled wood stopped three challengers using nothing but stubborn positioning. It sits heavy in the pile now, radiating a faint, judgmental warmth. It doesn’t want an owner; it wants a fortification.
Dominic Plumhoff survived the Initial Crossing to claim Tag #5, Snag Point. It’s heavy, reclaimed river wood that warms up when the claim is secure. While others washed up at McCormick, Plumhoff became the land baron. The tag doesn't just sit in the bag; it anchors the ego.
