Duane Walker signed for a 71 and a 728 round rating, -10 under his 738 PDGA rating, which the board files under "slightly off, nothing to panic about." It was still +6.7 over the 64.3 field average and +1.0 over his 70.0 personal average, so the Ink Stalker stays put at tag #3 with no movement. Night Protocol rules are in effect, and the grove apparently keeps its own distances after dark, so this file reads like a careful report that didn't quite reach the sealed envelope.

TroubleHaunted by Redacted Truths
Fingers Always Smudge Everything
Speaks in Redacted Whispers
Knows Where Bodies Are Buried
Born from the negative space of redacted case files, the Ink Stalker is the collective unconscious of every investigator who's ever squinted at a blurred photograph and sensed movement in the peripheral blur.
Appears as a silhouette cut from distressed paper, edges fraying into torn testimony strips, with eyes like pinpoint flash glare and fingertips that leave smudged fingerprints on everything they touch.
Drives narrative tension by leaving cryptic clues in the margins—torn corner coordinates, ink-blotted phone numbers, and witness statements with key names blacked out—forcing players to piece together the mystery.

The solid showing matched his personal average, but the ladder moved him from tag #2 to #3 in the Grove Survey. The Ink Stalker remains just beyond the edge of focus; apparently, a quiet flex doesn’t always hold the tag in place.
