Why is LeafiaButWorse a wolf?
Well, culprit number 1, Leafia… has done multiple things which stands out this game.
Upon my entrance to the thread and my initial catchup, I realised that the slot as a whole felt more distant than both individual heads usually do. There was a lot of discussion which had already happened in the thread prior to my entrance (At like some point between #600 and #650, I can’t remember) and yet LBW seemed to not react to it despite being present in the thread during when it was happening. IIRC it was something involving Arete’s slot and LBW just casually ignored it instead of commenting on it which is what made me think they could be a team.
On top of this follows Leafia’s posts which was something along the lines of ‘I think Arete’s a wolf. But I’m going to look elsewhere for wolves instead of focusing on that’ which once again feels highly partnery as it feels like an excuse to first of all avoid the Arete discussion as a whole and basically avoid touching on them again.
This follows the fact that throughout their ISO they have mentioned Arete 19 times out of 341 posts. And TSP as a dual slot… in 9 posts. Compared to my hydra name 21 times, Kiiruma 15 times and Kii an extra separate time. Once again suggesting, to me, that Leafia wants to avoid talking to and about TSP when they don’t need to.
Arete’s slot had not done much after Leafia had given the slot a wolf read. And yet after that by a bit, seeming to instead stray to a townread. Which to me shows once again the disconnect that Leafia has had this game and a weird hiccup in progression.
‘So Kiiruma, why is this not just the usual Leafia’
Good question! The answer is, as Leafia has admitted themselves, Leafia is not experienced with Hydras. On top of this Leafia’s lack of self awareness due to this is more likely to come from a wolf, than a townie. Fun fact, Leafia actually said ‘Actually the fact I’m not self aware means I’m not a wolf’ or something close to this… which goes to show a plan to use this in the future whenever Leafia is being backed into the corner.
The evidence of both of them being lost also increases with the fact they both want the other to do reads to sheep off. It shows, to me, that they just don’t know what to do and they’re trying to rely on each other. Whereas if YBW was town, then YBW should know from playing with Leafia (No offence to leafia though here) that YBW should not be relying on Leaf at all. And that in itself is damning.
Leafia (and YBW) have both had a bunch of awkwardness this game. More than usual, in fact. LBW (I believe while YBW was in control) had said in reply to FPSers saying that ‘They’ve never been T/T with Wazza’ that they would “incorporate this into their line of thinking” and that feels really off to me. It shows to me a plan to use it once one of the duo had flipped against the other one of them. Meaning this is both indicative of Leafia being W and Aelin/Brad being T.
They also instead of responding to being pushed by going after wolves on their wagon, had at the time been basically just been throwing their own pity party as @EngineerGaming have pointed out in their ISO. Pinging so yall can see it for themselves which is different to how YBW usually acts in games. Leafia usually argues a lot and does pick up on things ongoing in thread as town, yet this game they had not done so. Both being out of character is indicative of them both being unsure (as discussed before), both being lost… and this likely being due to them both being wolves and hydras for the first time due to how off it is.
Leafia slot prepared the vigilante claim, not while they were safe… but instead while they were getting pressured. Which is usually indicative of a wolf trying to take down a PR using this methodology.
This post
Is indicative of 2 possibilities:
- The plan to claim vigilante, which, Leafia had already known
- Some reason to believe they would survive this when they had already been the most pressured slot (btw, THIS is what Leafia claimed the reasoning was) and this is indicative of being a wolf as if Leaf is a wolf then Leaf knows ‘My partner hydra probably won’t D1 us and town usually hits it wrong’ it feels out of place for a villager to think in Leafia’s position in the thread.
Finally comes the 2 lovely terms of ‘OMGUS’ and ‘LAMIST’ both of which Leafia exudes more than CO2. Leafia has used these throughout the entire game, even more than they usually do as town, once again, making their slot look scummy as all fuck.
Their response to IDRC asking for ‘Why they think Me/EG are a team without the OMGUS’ was:
And Leafia further admitted later that if we weren’t pushing them, then they’d have us both as a null.
Leafia responded to IDRC’s question with LAMIST in saying ‘It makes sense for a villager to do’ and admittance of OMGUS.
Leafia further not only doesn’t really acknowledge their own LAMISTy nature this game, but had also argued in their ISO that Chloe in a fairly just light post, had been LAMIST and that it was ‘>rand W’
TL;DR: Overt LAMIST, OMGUS, Disconnect from thread, Both heads are completely lost, Attempts to force perspective, voting for HH and then saying ‘I knew they were town’ - Potential TMI, Attempt to PR bait, awkwardness and on top of it, the amount of times the slot mentions certain things is quite telling.
