## Walumancer

**Walumancer** (often just referred to as **Walu**) is a returning Generation 2 Tagger from the original TF2Tags. He is one of the site's administrators, as well as the leader of his own faction of Taggers known as the Wahfia. The man has an unhealthy obsession with the character Waluigi from the *Super Mario* franchise, and more recently Marie from the *Splatoon* franchise.

## History

### Prior Legacy

Walumancer had quite the Tagging career during the days of the original TF2Tags, amassing many followers in the Wahfia and orchestrating many unofficial site-wide events, such as the many Wahfia raids and the TF2Tags summer sendoff, and series such as TF2Tags Survivor and The Final Week. He was also the head of the failed endeavor to create a TF2Tags video game, which has since been turned into a book series which he is authoring. He is also one of the main contributors of this wiki. With his passion for the site and its community being quite well-known, Ulysses (at that point part of the fledgling team developing Tags.tf) suggested making Walumancer a moderator for the site (at that point a plan to simply buy and maintain the old site with all Tags wiped), which none of the other moderators at the time had considered. Though he had reservations about taking the position at first on account of bias against a specific user when Ulysses offered it to him, he ultimately accepted the position.

### The Wahfather Administration

Following the first successful month and a half of Tags.tf, which opened on June 1st of 2020, the site head administrator and good friend of Walumancer, TGRobert, informed the community on July 15th of his country's mandatory conscription into the military, and that he would be gone for around eleven months. Before leaving, he left Walumancer in charge while he was gone, which Walumancer humbly accepted.

Walumancer's administration of Tags.tf began with a smooth transition of power. With the site still being so young and the main users mostly consisting of community veterans, no chaotic events occurred on the site and Discord server. In August, Walumancer began two new practices. First, he began to make a habit of making regular announcements on the Discord server on the first of every month, where he would highlight the top five tags of the previous month in addition to summarizing site progress. Later on in the month, Walu would work with the other admins to push the revival of contests, hosting week-long contest in August and then a month-long one in September.

Walumancer's administration came to an end on September 12th, 2020, when Robert (still in the army) was allowed to use his laptop on base during free time. Robert commented on all he had done upon returning from his exactly 2 month long absence.

## Relationships

Walumancer has a generally friendly relationship with nearly all Taggers, only having problems with former Number 1 Tagger Relk\_Cehi and the creator and owner of the original TF2Tags, Dr. Dos. As owner and administrator of the most active TF2Tags Discord server and moderator of Tags.tf, he tries to be on good terms with everyone and settle problems neutrally. He shows respect for all Taggers, and in turn most show respect for him. The following relationships relate to the post-TF2Tags era and should be considered the most up to date account on his relations with certain Taggers. More will be added at some point in the future.

### EGG-Z

EGG-Z remains Walumancer's trusted second-in command in the Wahfia and a good friend. Though living on opposite sides of the world hampers their ability to communicate (Walumancer being in the Eastern Coast of the United States and Eggz in Australia), they maintain the friendship that began during their early days as Taggers. They even help each other in their writing endeavors (though Walumancer admits that he has been very lax on his end of the trade).

### The Lazygineer

Fellow Tags.tf moderator The Lazygineer has become a trusted friend of Walumancer and high-ranking member of the Wahfia. Walu highly respects Lazy for his cool head and neutral attitude, as well as his ability to inject his good sense of humor into any situation. They share an interest in the *Fire Emblem* franchise and often share builds and summons from the mobile gacha game *Fire Emblem Heroes*. Lazy is one of the few Taggers currently in the position of beta reading Walumancer's TF2Tags book series *RagTag*.

### Toastclaimer

Though the two only really began interacting with each other in January of 2019 when the Tagpocalypse was just about to end TF2Tags forever, Toastclaimer has become a valued friend and confidant to the Wahfather, being essentially elected as Blast's replacement as the Wahfia Discord server's third moderator. Walumancer greatly values Toast's ability to quell fights quickly, as well as his tendency to act as middleman between the often stubborn Wahfather and his Wahfiosos.

### Blast

Being the third real friend he met in this community, Blast continues to be a close friend of Walumancer's, though numerous events on Discord and Blast's change in attitude have led to a few awkward positions between the two, such as his demodding on the Wahfia Discord server and his leaving said server later that year. But through it all, the two remain very close, being able to talk about many of their shared interests (*Fire Emblem*, professional wrestling, their *Splatoon* wives, etc., etc.) as well as their shared experiences with Asperger's Syndrome, which both men have.

### TGRobert

Along with Le Tryhard Hunter and Ulysses, Walumancer was partly responsible for helping TGRobert get accepted back into the TF2Tags community after previous on and off site behavior left him effectively exiled. The two never had much of a relationship on TF2Tags, but after Walumancer was brought on to the Tags.tf (which TGR and his brother own) moderation team, the two became formally acquainted. After Walumancer began getting into the mobile gacha game *Girls Frontline*, the two quickly bonded over that, and from there their friendship grew. Walumancer respects TGR's sarcastic attitude (bar when the topic at hand is the former's writing), and as one of the only other Taggers with more right-leaning beliefs, the two often confide in each other when it comes to politics. The two are helping each other in their own creative endeavors, that being Walumancer's book series and TGR's anime. He insists FAL is best gun girl when in reality it's M1911.

### Cammie

Cammie and Walumancer have often collaborated and had each other's backs in many situations both on TF2Tags and Discord. When Pudis missbombed Walumancer for over 2000 points, Cammie critbombed Walu back to Hale's Own. Both banded together to critbomb Fancytag to Hale's Own, though humorously the former moderator did not notice until many months after. Cammie often reports various dramas and fights that are occurring on the Wahfia server as they are happening, allowing Walu to step in and diffuse the conflict. Finally, Cammie is another Tagger who is reading and reviewing *RagTag*, Walumancer's TF2Tags book series.
