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

`` The Admins, Jason?'' Beneath the balcony sprawls a magnificent bright night view of the sub district 80 feet beneath them, as far as the eye could see. `` They do n't exist. Nothing but a myth, a dead one at that. Do n't go about chasing ghosts, just because you have some misguided idea that you're some sort of born saviour for Reddit. This war must be seen through.'' Bravo says suddenly calming down. 
 `` You know just as much as I do that this sub is the most fit to rule in the wake of the conflict and you are the one most fit to lead it.'' 
 
 Jason turned to face the dizzyingly beautiful vista and surprisingly calmly he says, `` We are writers, Bravo. Our strength is in our belief and our imagination. That is our creed.'' Slowly he steps closer to the edge of the balcony, `` That is why I believe you when you say that we are the most fit to end this war.'' He turns to face his brother now as close as possible to the edge, `` But I am afraid that we visualize this differently.'' 
 
 And with that he leaps of the edge to his destiny. 
 
 
 Plummeting towards the ground, Jason closes his eyes. This is how it's done. He reaches out to that familiar point in his mind; a feature exclusive to the writers. *Click*, he got it. 
 
 Suddenly out of the night a giant black eagle, it's wings crackling like lightning thunder swoops out and catches him on his back, zooming off in a blur. 
 
 *** 
 The soothing continuous boom of the thunderbird's wings lulls Jason into reverie. 
 No living person knew how they came about, but the subs of Reddit had once lived in near perfect harmony, Redditors mixed freely and moved from sub to sub and affiliations were loose, some even creating their owns. Their were, of course, some wrinkles here and there, but Reddit's self governance systems almost always took care of that. 
 
 Until one day, peace shattered. It turns out it was infinitely more fragile than anyone thought. Within a year of this fifteen year war, all the smaller subs had been obliterated and assimilated. Fandoms, videogames, circle jerks, r/interstellar even r/trees were eliminated without mercy. In the second year, more shocks came, AmA and the Century club both fell to the combined efforts of the shower nation and futurology. The first alliance of the war. Later that year, the futurists did betray their allies and r/showerthoughts fell, their numbers ineffective against the future's advanced weaponry. By the ten year mark what remained of the political alliance, crumbled. The flames of war having licked ravenously all of the combatants 
 
 The subs that remain, formed into three distinct alliances. 
 
 Loud, upfront, barbaric and co-led by r/movies and r/news, was the Creme alliance. Even more dangerous and powerful was the Technobabble crew, led by the futurists and r/gaming. Leaving the alliance lead by Jason's r/writingprompts and r/philosophy. 
 Poised to destroy themselves in what seemed like the end of the war and the world, Jason knew that something had to be done. So he had set off to meet his makers. 
 
 The Admins. As far as he was concerned there was no way they had just appeared out of nowhere. Someone, some people or some *thing* had made Reddit. And they were responsible for the untold suffering the war had caused. This meaningless war that had begun when they discovered the oldest lie on Reddit: That karma had a meaning. 
 
 They were going to answer for all this, gods or not.
