What People Are Saying

“Finally, a ranking system I didn’t have to invent to still come in second place. The Warrior Index makes me want to conquer Mars just to qualify.”
— Elon Musk, probably re-tweeting himself at 3:47 a.m.

“The Warrior Index is a cathedral built from blood and delusion. I read it and felt the cold breath of extinction whispering encouragement. Beautiful.”
— Werner Herzog, during an interview no one asked for

“When I said ‘You get a car!’ what I meant was: you get a sword, you get a vendetta, you get generational trauma! The Warrior Index… truly speaks to me.”
— Oprah, probably regretting this endorsement immediately

— Vladimir Putin, while shirtless and misunderstood
