BenHerr

BenHerr is a Pixelplace user that is best known for his activities on Canvas 7 and Canvas 8. He joined the game for the first time in early March 2020.

Background

BenHerr lives in Florida, the United States. His main interests are meteorology, storm chasing, photography, computers, local history, and video editing. In mid 2020, he launched his YouTube channel called "Ben Herr Studios" (formerly known as Ben Herr's Cantina), which contains random meme content, some TF2 footage, and a bit of weather-related videos.

Pixelplace World War

In March of 2020, BenHerr joined Pixelplace, the first canvas he joined being Canvas 7. Ben would be recruited by the BLUE faction, becoming one of its most active users. However, all other BLUE members would become inactive in the following days.

BenHerr would eventually discover Canvas 8 (MVP). From there, he would establish a brief BLUE presence in the Southeastern United States. After a few days, Ben founded the FLDA faction, declaring himself "Florida Man".

FLDA in it's early days, would be a very successful one-man faction. In May, BenHerr would meet users Abhinav21 of ROSS and Vadar12 of EPRS, becoming good allies, which resulted in the formation of the Fulcrum Alliance. All three leaders would help each other keep their factions afloat.

Meanwhile, BenHerr would also rise through the ranks of ROME, becoming a high ranking member of the faction while still leading FLDA.

A disagreement would occur between BenHerr and Vadar12, leading to the First Fulcrum World War and another conflict that occurred immediately after. This dispute would be resolved however, and on 5/28/20, Fulcrum would be reformed into the super faction it became known to be.

Fulcrum's strength and influence would be demonstrated for the first time almost immediately during the Second Fulcrum World War, after ROME ousted BenHerr from it's high council and declared war on his newly formed faction.

BenHerr, Vadar12, and Abhinav21 would become some of the most influential members of the MVP community for a time as the Fulcrum Triumvirate during the Summer of 2020.

As Fulcrum neared the time of its "First Death", BenHerr would take a break from Pixelplace. Abhinav21 and Vadar12 would continue faction operations on their own until 9/01/20, when Fulcrum was declared "defunct". BenHerr would eventually become inactive by the end of 2020.

Where is he now?

In short, I am moving on in life. Got a job, got a girl, and I'll be in college next year. Ain't gonna stop me from stopping by every now and then at least for old times sake, however. Miss you guys.
