The power of 'Wololo' is by no means a simple fascination. It is a commanding call to change allegiance at the drop of a hat. Literally! In the game, priests chant 'Wololo' to convert enemies to their side, playing a vital part in a player's strategies. In the real world, however, it's an amusing way to express an attempt to convince someone strongly - so strong, that it's borderline brainwashing!
