It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the death of Ben Crackel, who many of you may know in-game as ioctl. Ben passed away silently in his sleep for reasons that are not fully known at this time. He was 23.
When I welcomed Ben into the fledgling Cult of Cthulhu over two and a half years ago, I was naturally concerned about the calibre of the pilot we were receiving. It turned out very quickly, however, that my doubts were completely unfounded. A peerless pvper of quite frankly humbling skill and guts, as ioctl Ben was responsible for by far the greatest share of action meted by the Cult throughout its three years of existence. Our reputation would have been nothing without him. More so than that though, he was our friend, and somebody who I count as one of the most likeable, funny and friendly people I have ever met - online or off. His passing diminishes us all in ways we may never come to fully understand.
He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

I pride myself on being good with words, yet now the right words fail me. Ben's girlfriend told me the sad news earlier today and I have wept more tears this day than I have for a long time.
Ben was a superior PvPer, an awesome pilot, but, above and beyond all that, he was a friend. I never had the opportunity to meet him in real life, but that doesn't mean I didn't get to know him. For the time we spent as friends, I am thankful.
Before I knew him, I knew of him through the Cult's videos. I spent time watching him in action - that fight where he's in the Raven still sticks out in my mind - and when I got to know him personally, I admitted, somewhat sheepishly, that I had studied his fights and tried to learn how he set up his ships before I entered PvP myself. To his credit, he never laughed at me for that. He always treated me as an equal and a friend and that's a measure of the man he was.
Most people know ioctl the PvPer. I'm glad to be able to say that I knew him as Ben too.

I miss io so much and it hurts very much right now. It¦s hard to understand he is gone and we never can speak to him again. Merd says it better then I can but it¦s all true and I will never forget him. Rest in peace friend. __________________________________________________ |

Don't know what to say, just so sad another great personality has passed away. At 23 years, that's just so wrong. Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me |

Wow, this completely caught me offguard.
EVE just lost probably the best combat pilot in the game.
And the world just lost a very good indivisual. --------

Ben and I lived down the street from each other, we were friends for a long time. In highschool we went our separate ways, though I received chats from him once every few months.
He had introduced me to eve and lost me to carebearism, only recently had he brought me to the side of pvp. I have talked and chatted with him more in the last few months than those years in between.
Though I'm sorry I lost all the time I could have spent with him, I am grateful for the recent resurgence in our friendship before this tragic and sudden loss.
May you rest in peace. |

This is a sad day..
I had many laughs with io. Many fights together. And noone could keep me company as he used to on ventrilo. I have never fought against or with such a good pvper. I will miss you and always remember you, as my close friend. Rest in peace Ben...

I really don't know what to say. I knew ioctl as a good friend and very competent player. It's just unreal someone you've just talked to the day before (these things you take for granted) is now gone.
Farewell ioctl, you'll be missed in many ways.
My sincere condoleances to friends and family for this tragic loss

Condolences to friends and family.
A big loss to the game thats for sure.
At a time like this we can be greatful for the video series which will show the EVE community for years to come just how PVP should be done.

dont know what to say:( my condolences.
Goodbye dear friends,
Its one last trip for me!
Meet me on the mountaintop
Beyond the hills and open sea
With sword and shell upon my bed
Gold and gems adorned
The halls will ring with silent bells
And all the men will mourn
But fear not for me
My dearest friends
For onward I do travel
Upon my mound
I am not found
My spirit is not trammeled
The warrior sings
A wondrous tune
As he rides into trouble
We never die
Though I may lie
Dead pon the field of battle
Upon the mountain do I wait
With all my lifes dear chattel
Come join me and with a swift gait
The gates swing wide our brothers wait
Within our dear Valhalla!
Just podded this sig, now where is my toy? - Wrangler |
