[ WP ] Reddit becomes a physical world , subreddits are factions at war with one another .

# # Part I: 
 
 `` Send a message to Fort /r/funny,'' spoke the general. `` We have received word from our allies at /r/pics that /u/pepsi_next is launching an attack on /r/gifs to weaken the Great Imgur Axis. He must not go beyond the SFW line, else we are doomed to migrate to /r/gonewild.'' 
 
 Whilst the first two World Wars had been fought on the front, the third was fought on the front*page*, with great generals and commanders fighting on each and every side. Some subreddits allied to strengthen their claims, and the greatest was the Great Imgur Axis, the one I was sworn to defend. Though I was only a private, I answered directly to the greatest... /u/GallowBoob. Gallow had set up an intricate network, composed of thousands of smaller subreddits - some even beyond the SFW line, in enemy territory - and some of the biggest and toughest armies. /r/funny, /r/pics, /r/gifs, /r/videos, and /r/aww. 
 
 The war had started nearly eleven years ago now, but I have only served for two years. Two years that will haunt me for the rest of my days, even years later and into more peaceful times.

But by far, my toughest and most unexpected time was when I was sent to /r/politics. Ah, there was even more circlejerk than in /r/circlejerk. 
 
 But today, we were supposed to meet with yet another powerful camp that played no part in the war yet, /r/gaming. With nearly eleven millions within their walls it was one of the largest *free* community. Though with the recently launched attack, we could not attend the meeting. Instead, some of our better units were dispatched at the SFW line to prevent /u/pepsi_next's armies from entering our part of the site. And so the story of the last battle of World War III begins...
