COMMUNITY REFERENDUM: Should Vatou Be Promoted to God? 🗳️
He renamed his account. He banned himself. He vanished. The developer of WarEra has officially transcended mortal moderation, and the community has spent 48 hours writing poems, singing hymns in 4 languages, and begging him to come back.
According to community intelligence, he was last seen fleeing to a remote tropical island, carrying only a laptop and an intense hatred of colorblind mode requests.
But begging is unorganized. We are a democratic game. So let's settle this the WarEra way: with a vote.
🗳️ COMMUNITY REFERENDUM: Should Vatou be promoted to God?
One tap. No login. Anonymous. Live results. You can even change your vote. Unlike certain game updates.
And unlike certain Discord polls, this one stays open longer than 4 hours. You'll even have time to read the question.
The vacancy
Think about it. WarEra has presidents. Congress members. Ministers. Generals. Party leaders. Every job in the hierarchy is filled, except one.
God. Position: vacant. And we happen to know someone who's clearly been auditioning.
The Vatou Files
Of course, no candidacy is without controversy.
Sources confirm the existence of the VATOU FILES: a secret archive he took with him to the island. Allegedly inside:
The lag fix, marked as done since 2025, never deployed
The mercenary nerf design document (one sentence, written at 3 AM)
His deleted patch notes article, last seen heavily downvoted
The roadmap where chatting costs 1 paper per 10 messages
Proof that France was a mistake, documented in two languages
A list of everyone he ever banned, and why he's on it
He promised transparency. The next day, the Files vanished with him to the island. Coincidence? The community demands answers.
No promotion without disclosure. RELEASE THE FILES.
The job description
This isn't just a title. An in-game God would have actual responsibilities:
Daily blessing: one random country gets a production boost. Why that one? He works in mysterious ways.
The Smite button: one ban per day, no appeal. Already self-tested. On himself. Twice the credibility.
Plagues: lag, phone overheating, RAM consumption. Proven track record, already shipped.
Answering prayers: reads the suggestions channel. Occasionally. Like a real god.
Salary: paid in appreciation articles. Currently the fastest-growing currency in the game.
The case for YES
Created an entire world in (slightly more than) 7 days
Disappeared mysteriously, leaving only scripture behind (patch notes)
Works in mysterious ways (see: the entire 0.25 update)
Already omnipotent: he banned HIMSELF
Has disciples writing hymns in French, German, Portuguese AND English
The case for NO
Gods don't need hotfixes
Still no colorblind mode. Can we worship a god who can't tell purple from blue?
Your move
The position is open. The people will decide.
Results are live and public. A follow-up article with the verdict will be published once the people have spoken.
Vatou, if you're reading this from your tropical island: come back. The position is open. Bring the colorblind mode as your first miracle.
