History WMG / BenDrowned

I believe, however, that neither viruses nor anti-viruses will be the end of BEN. His death shall come from the people that use the web anywhere. The end of this accursed being will start when Jadusable, now using a new computer, posts a RousingSpeech on his website in which he describes the limitlessness of creativity through the online medium and encourages readers to use this to their advantage. And so we shall track down what ever site BEN may lie in and make him bear witness to the most maddening things possible. He will see the worst [[ShockSite shock sites,]] be degraded by many a Troll, listen to the most foolish discussions, and spend hours distracted by Wiki/TVTropes. All of these things shall overwhelm him and then he will destroy himself so he can no longer look at any more of the horrors of the Internet.

* [[spoiler:Guess what, this is confirmed, BEN incarnates as the Majora child and becomes Majora's Wrath for the final battle.]]

* [[spoiler:Guess what, this is confirmed, but not like that, the players, through [[MindHive Sarah]], are actually the UnwittingPawn to the BigBadDuumvirate.]]

* {{Jossed}}. Jadusable's real name is Alex. It was confirmed in one of the interviews.

* [[spoiler:Jossed. While the internet did have some control over the actions of Sarah, in the end she played the Song of Healing to the final Moon Child entirely on her own accord.]]

* {{Jossed}}. The mods have stated that the forum is OOC and is in itself not a part of the game.

* [[spoiler:Jossed. Sarah, having inherited the power of the Fierce Deity Mask from Jadusable, defeated BEN with the Song of Healing.]]

* [[spoiler:Partially confirmed. While the exact circumstances of his death are still unknown, it was revealed that he did willingly choose to undergo ascension under the promise of getting to become his favorite video game character, Link.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed in THE FATHER.wmv: there's a second entity in the cartridge, one much more malevolent than BEN, and the latter is [[HorrifyingTheHorror actively]] ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror terrified]]'' [[HorrifyingTheHorror of it]].]]

After the events of BEN.wmv, he said he was trapped in the cartridge and computer, and that he wanted to be free. Now that he's made it onto the internet (which is considered by many to be the sum of all human knowledge), he's more or less achieved that goal. The ARG was just BEN having fun, and the reason for the hiatus is because he's gotten bored of it and found something else to occupy his time.

This will be the death of BEN. This will be the true Crowning MomentOfAwesome of the people of the Internet.

** Or, true to form, [[TheManBehindTheMan Ganon is literally behind everything.]] An experienced dark sorcerer, he started the Moon Children cult. He taught them how to "ascend". He very deliberately engineered what happened to BEN and allowed him to cause havoc. Ultimately, he is using the Moon Children ''and'' BEN to achieve some goal in the real world.

[[WMG: Ben will be somehow connected to the SlenderMan]]

Now think about the Moon Children, the supposedly corresponding {{cult}} from the {{ARG}}. The original Ben was one of them. They want to bring about the ColonyDrop, so they're evil, right? Maybe not. Think about ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]''. A powerful and malicious force was running rampant, and when the goddesses saw that there was no way the world could be saved, they opted to destroy most of it instead to keep the evil at bay. Majora is arguably ''more'' evil and powerful than Ganondorf; perhaps the Moon Children are guardians of some sort, trying to save the world from BEN/Majora by bringing the moon down.

Similarly, the Moon Children (which, if I'm not mistaken, have been confirmed to be the {{ARG}} representations of the giants) want to protect the world, but in the opposite way: by destroying it instead of saving it, because they know something we don't. They're not some crazy {{cult}}; they're under attack from what they're fighting against, and that's why many of them have died or been captured. The whole "ascension" thing means something else entirely, perhaps a journey to the moon itself to better affect the situation.

See, BEN is on the internet. This means he could pop up anywhere, from LEGO to WoW to this page itself. But... what if we were to lure BEN into a hardcore-mode Minecraft server, then take him out?? Since Hardcore mode is essentially NintendoHard, killing him would be easy to accomplish. Or we could just crash and delete the server.

* In which case sufficiently GenreSavvy players will either finish that file as it is, leave it the hell alone, or simply only play the "Original" option.
