Dancing Cow - Interview

We bring in the studio this morning one of the troll rights activists, mister https://app.warera.io/user/691ed74bd9075fc1db542693!

Thank You for coming in.
Good Morning.

Why are you troll?

About being a troll:

I am a meme maker, someone whose only goal in life is to make others happy because it makes me happy. That's why I talk a lot in global chat, like a lot of messages, and just enjoy making everyone a bit happier. That includes the mods and admins. I rarely do anything wrong—in fact, I almost never do. I follow the rules, but to be honest, I break them if I'm told to. WarEra people see it as funny, though, and I don't really know why.

About something that happened in the chat:

I ALWAYS wanted to be muted, and sometimes I asked the mods to mute me, but they said "no". So I did what any other human being would do: spammed tts, ttties, sx, b00bies, pens, as5, etc. I also made an article spamming it. After a LOT of attempts, https://app.warera.io/user/6813b759efecdf9bab1950cb finally muted me, saying I needed to sleep. To celebrate and spread smiles, I changed my description to ""I GOT MUTEDDDDDDD YESSSSSSSSSSSS".My goal was just to get muted, that's all, lol.

About https://app.warera.io/user/691ed74bd9075fc1db542693 himself:

I am a South African player, recently diagnosed with autism, epilepsy, extremely low blood pressure, memory loss problems believed to come from my ADHD pills, and high cholesterol. I am 16 years old, suffering from all of this stuff while also having severe ADHD and anxiety.

I discovered WarEra on Reddit while scrolling through my homepage, fell in love at first sight, and made friends. I was first known as VeldBrand, but was then told to change it to MoneyBrand for some reason, and I had an Elon Musk profile picture.

I had a good relationship with a rich in-game player named "Skin", who gifted me my first monthly subscription. He deleted his account later, and no one knows why.

I gained fame and nicknames, soon becoming the Congress of South Africa. "Cow", "dancing cow", and "coward" were all nicknames I got. I went to Vietnam to help my online friends, and came back to South Africa after doing my job there. I have many friends, friendships, and relationships on WarEra, and I love the game A LOT. In fact, it concerns me a bit since I spend at least 6 hours a day on WarEra and Discord.

That is the real me. I have mental and neurological disorders/disabilities, but I cope through - believe it or not - WarEra. Losing my account would be like losing my coping mechanism. It might sound like an addiction, and that's because it is. But I choose an addiction over 30 extra pills and a wasted life.

So that is me. You only see the screen version of me, not the real me. If you saw the real me, you would realize I am more human than you think.

About his hobbies:

I do have hobbies, yes. I play the piano, play Rocket League, think about philosophy, and play other games. I exercise as well, but I would say my main hobby is WarEra, lol.

About finishing second in the presidential election:

Honestly, I really don't mind. https://app.warera.io/user/694006728e400302d51946de is an AMAZING user and has been president a couple of times before, if I'm not mistaken. I am a bit bummed, but I'm running for Congress and I am grateful for the elections. WarErZA helped the elections A LOT. And I feel like there's a reason they voted for Scar—there's always a reason for something. So it might have been my donation idea to raise the country's bank account. But in the end, I'm happy he won and I'm happy I can run for Congress. I honestly didn't expect so many people to vote for me anyway.

I will be running again, though not in the next election. I have other things going on in life, so it will most likely be the November or December elections. This month I had an opening, so I took my shot, and since I lost the presidential race and still have free time, I'm running for Congress!

About whether he worries his 'Dancing Cow' image will prevent players from taking him seriously as a candidate:

No, I feel like people do take me seriously. I am silly and stuff when it comes to articles about memes and just chatting, but when it comes to the actual game, I am clicking that mouse with precision. I have been involved in government MoD cases and embassies. I am a serious guy when it comes to WarEra, but when it comes to chatting, I take it with a smile on my face and make people laugh. I mean, if you ask my MU owner, I REALLY put time into orders, recruiting, admin, and all that stuff.

About what would happen if he won the presidential election:

If I were president, I would do something about Africa. Every battle happening in Africa shouldn't have happened in the first place, so I would change that. The country's wealth would increase immediately, and I feel like other countries would be happy as well because of how I use bounties.

About what he enjoys about the game:

I am a player that makes articles (journalist). I am a player that stays VERY alert of the wars, political world, market and the game in general so I can make memes and just stay alert of everything.
WarEra is like Hearts of Iron IV, but simpler. It is the BEST game I have played in my entire life. If I had to choose one game to dedicate my life to, I would choose WarEra in every single universe. It's a geopolitical game with a lot of different mechanics that requires real game sense. I searched for a game like this for AGES and finally found it while scrolling on Reddit. Instead of AI and bots controlling other countries, it is ACTUAL players - there is no script, YOU make it.

About his activity on the dev server:

I am active on the dev server a lot, yes. I test all my strategies on the dev server and apply them to the main one. So I am a very quick thinker, with a flexible and smart strategic mind.

About the upcoming updates and game announcements:

They will work AMAZINGLY on the main server. I have already tested some builds and strategies—in fact, some of the strategies I already use, lol.

I feel like the game mechanics are perfect; I don't really know what I would change if I had to. Maybe I would just make updates a bit more regular, but Vatou probably has another job, which makes updates a bit delayed, and I respect that.

The announced changes are always good in my eyes—you just need to adapt.

About the South African community in the game:

The South African community is FULL of love. They support you left, right, and center. They are quick to respond, and you will find someone who shares your interests in no time.

About his message to the community:

We are users - users who form a small community. We only see the person on our screen, not the person behind it. Every message sent carries a meaning, a tear, rage, joy, or romantic feelings. I have talked to people who wanted to commit suicide or have attempted it. Don't EVER insult someone if someone else is already doing so. Once is a joke, twice sends a message. Believe me. Remember that everyone struggles, loves, hates, and laughs. We are more than users; we are human.

So if you are a human, behave like one.

About his advice:

Don't just enjoy the game, live it.

Make friends, become famous, grow powerful. But never abuse it.

Thank you for your time https://app.warera.io/user/691ed74bd9075fc1db542693.
