## The Incident

The BenDover incident of 2022 occurred on May 7 22 in the no mic channel. Rea, Romp, Catcow, and Ron Delite were in a voice call playing truth or dare with the Truth or Dare bot in no mic. In the middle of the game server user BenDover419 chose dare without saying anything at all beforehand. The members in the call noticed quickly that BenDover had done this and pointed it out in call. Quickly they started questioning who BenDover was, starting with Rea saying "WHO ARE YOU" followed by Romp and Catcow sending messages that were much less useful. The call was made up of hysterical laughing and crying and shitting for at least 10 minutes. A short conversation with BenDover followed about who they are. Grafi joined the conversation as well. The users in call continued playing truth or dare with BenDover, who never actually joined the call (i don't think. I can't remember). BenDover eventually had to go though much to everyone's disappointment.

The next time BenDover sent messages was on May 12 2022. They only sent 6 messages, but each developed the conversation by leaps and bounds. They reappeared on June 15 and sent a video of toasts floating out of a toaster. Way to go BenDover419! Hope you return

## Further reappearances in 2023

After a long, sad wait they returned on July 20 2023. They sent the message "btw I am still here lmao" which surprised everyone. They offered another alliance in the r/place event of 2023, although nothing came of it as the server was busy placing pixels already. Ben also confirmed being an omnipotent and omniscient god, which means we are meant for each other as I (Grafi) am also a god, but this is foreshadowing.

During this July period they returned on July 23 and 25, offering help for r/place. How kind! Also Ben kept commenting how the wiki page isn't updated yet, I hope to make them happy with this.

On September 29 Ben wished Netro a happy birthday then quickly disappeared. How mysterious...

Their next return was on December 3, sending a terrifying emoji, telling cabble to "Go. Do shit." and announcing their eventual (probably) return.

Ben graced us with their presence 20 days later, on December 23. Rea is still the only person they remember. Other much more eventful things happened during that return, however: Ben Dover got married to me, Grafi. This was also Ben's longest chat in the server so far. Way to go! They admitted they'd want to be slightly active in the server, but can't due to the bit. Sometimes you are burdened by being bound to certain jokes, I get you...

Ben left us saying they will get milk. Although the milk store is far away I am sure we will meet again and Ben's next return will be as sudden as a jumpscare. We will never forget you, Ben. I love you

OH YES BEN RETURNED AGAIN BABY on the 31st and if you're nny, it was already 2024. I am Grafi though so I will keep this in the 2023 section. They know remember not just Rea but me, their wife!! They keep threatening to divorce me unless I update this page... I am writing this at gunpoint PLEASE HE-

ok Ben has dementia (rip bozo) and also told us that members of a random (BIGGER THAN OUR) server found this wiki and are very confused. Uh, hi to any confused random server member? They also posted their IP address:

IP: 92.28.211.234 N: 43.7462 W: 12.4893 SS Number: 6979191519182016 IPv6: fe80::5dcd::ef69::fb22168.0.1%12 UPNP: Enabled DMZ 10.112.42.15 MAC: 5A:78:3E:7E:00 ISP: Ucom Unversal DNS: 8.8.8.8 WAN: 100.23.10.15 GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1 SUBNET MASK: 255.255.0.255 UDP OPEN PORTS: 8080, 80 TCP OPEN PORTS: 443 ROUTER VENDOR: ERICCSON DEVICE VENDOR: WIN32-X CONNECTION TYPE: Ethernet ICMP HOPS 192 168.0.1 192 168.1.1 host-132.12.32.167.ucom.com host-66.120.12.111.ucom.com 36.134.67.189 216.239.78.111 sof02s32-in-f14.1e100.net TOTAL HOPS: 8 ACTIVE SERVICES: [HTTP] 192.168.3.1:80=> 92.28.221.234:80 [HTTP] 192.168.3 1:443=> 92.28.211.234:443 [UDP] 192.168.0.1:7II => 192.168.1.1:6557 [TCP] 192.168.1.1:67891 => 9228.211.234:345 [TCP] 192.168.54.43:7777 => 192.168.1.1:7778 [TCP] 192.168.78. 12:898 => 192.168.89.9.667 EXTERNAL MAC: 6U:78:89:ER:04 MODEM JUMPS: 64

Then Ben stole my credit card and vanished yet again.

## The Curse of BenDover419

No one knows when or why BenDover419 appears, just that they must be omniscient and omnipresent. The only clue as to why BenDover appears was given in their message that said, "i will reappear one day only when everyone forgets i exist". One could take this to mean that BenDover can only make a reappearance once everyone in the server has forgotten about them. Until that moment they are unable to make their presence known.

The server will forever be haunted by BenDover419. Users both fear and eagerly await the next time they return. I wonder what they will say next.

## BenDover419's Background

BenDover joined the server on April 2 2022 as a representative of the Hollow Knight R/place effort. Their participation in the server before the incident was mostly confined to coordination efforts and alliance talks between our R/place efforts and Hollow Knight's. Their profile picture is a screenshot from Lego Star Wars of a stormtrooper in a hot tub with a rainbow ring on the outside.

### First Message

"hi im from hollow knight"

This was very succinct Ben, thank you.
