The Dupe Wars, also known as the Great Dupe Wars or simply the Dupe War, was a series of major conflicts between a coalition of players, against the griefer 46mm. It was mainly fought in the greater Oak Hills area, with Oak Hills downtown and Paris being major battlegrounds.

Timeline

Prelude

46mm first joined the server on 14 March. At the time, raddicted, 44cckw, Norbert011 and Wemboz_1 was online on the server. At first, 46mm seemed a bit agitated due to his application for building permission taking some time, but it was nonetheless approved by 44cckw at 23:41.

<raddicted> its 44's brother

First Griefs

Tensions had begun to break out between 46mm and Norbert that same day. After some debate about politics and religion between the two, 46mm got angry at Norbert. He wanted to grief Norbert's house, but mistook 44cckw's house as Norbert's and begun destroying it. As such, he was instantly banned by 44cckw at 00:19.

<raddicted>    holy fuck
<Wemboz_1>     wat?
<raddicted>    damn
<4cckw>        half my house is gonme
<raddicted>    what a fucking idiot
<44cckw>       he thought my house was norberts one lmao
<raddicted>    he cant read signs

At 00:52, a new player by the name Arctor would join the server. Unbeknownst at the time, he was actually one of 46mm's many alternative accounts. He recieved building permission at 00:58 by 44cckw.

44cckw logged off for the night at 01:28, leaving Arctor, Norbert and raddicted online. Arctor is reported as acting suspicious, with him destroying parts of Mope222's mudhole. Griefing would start not soon after, with Arctor vandalizing builds in central Oak Hills.

<Arctor> so many accounts with vpns
<Arctor> this server is fucked

The part of 46mm's grief that was not removed, named the Gay Pillar.

44cckw would quickly rejoin the server at 01:47 and banned 46mm instantly, after recieving messages on Discord about the griefing. 46mm griefing was concidered as being very weak by all the players, due to him only placing water buckets everywhere throughout Oak Hills and not doing any significant damage. At this point in time, PvP was not activated on the server, meaning there was no way to harm other players. His grief would be ridiculed in chat. The damages was quickly repaired, with no rollback needed. One part of the grief was not removed however, as both raddicted and Norbert agreed to keep it. It was named the Gay Pillar and it still stands in Oak Hills to this day.

At 02:27, 46mm would rejoin with his account BetaGuy. However, with the building permission system in place, he could not do anything and quickly left the server. 46mm would still continue to try and use different accounts throughout the night, but to no avail.

Violence Unfolds

Backup loaded after 46mm's rampage.

The next day, 15 March 2022, things would mostly go smoothly. It wasn't until 18:58 that 46mm would return, this time with the account NaarsJuul67. Like the previous time, nobody in the server suspected anything strange, as getting new players was not uncommon. 46mm would play normally for hours, recieving building permission by 44cckw. It wasn't until 21:10, when 44cckw logged off, that he would start his bad behaviour. A fight broke out between Norbert and 46mm at 21:38, due to PvP having been enabled earlier that day. 46mm would kill Norbert with a diamond sword, but would ultimately die to Norbert's wolves that occupied his front porch. The violence continued, and both parties would kill eachother several times.

Tense arguments between 46mm and Norbert broke out. 46mm joined the Discord and tried to falsely accuse Norbert of stealing, but this lie was seen through by 44cckw instantly. 44cckw logged in at 22:28 and banned 46mm at 22:29. A backup was loaded, because Norbert lost some items during the fight. Some minor griefing in Oak Hills was also committed. 46mm quickly returned with an alt, and was mocked in chat for his waste of time. However, 46mm would reveal that he had secretly duped diamonds during his time before the fight. At the time, the server thought he was bluffing. He would once again be banned on 22:50.

<Lasagnaboy> the duped diamonds
<Lasagnaboy> all there
<Norbert011> there is no duped diamonds, he's lying

End of the Conflict

46mm would join the Discord server on 20 March 2022. He concluded that he was done griefing and duping on the server. Peace was agreed upon, and 44cckw declared that the war had ended in a stalemate, as while he was successful at reverting the griefing, 46mm still succeed in duping large amounts of diamonds, some of which are still in circulation on the Betaonline black market to this day.

Revert's Dupe

Reverts dupe, located in Hills Department, Oak Hills.

Revert, who was previously a normal player on the server, would enter the war in April. Starting with a large lavacast south-east of the oil rig on 3 April, he would dupe a large amount of stone and iron on 7 April 2022. Instead of going with 46mm's tactic of hiding the dupe, he would instead publicly announce it by building structures of iron blocks across Oak Hills. He would be banned by 44cckw quickly after this. His chests full of duped items was located by 44cckw at Revert's House. The chest contained stacks of furnaces, which were all destroyed and burned.

Revert and 46mm never had any relations with each other, and it is unknown if they communicated and coordinated this attack together. Due to this, there are discussion wherever or not Revert's actions should be considered part of the Dupe Wars or not, as the only thing in common between the two incidents are duping.

Dupe War Remnants

Diamond Henge was a massive Dupe War Remnant that was discovered by Norbert and raddicted while they were exploring WitherTown on 24 March, 2022. Made up of hundreds of diamond blocks, it is easily the largest remnant discovered to this date.

Diamond Henge 2

A similar structure to the first diamond henge was discovered 28 March 2022, though it was significantly smaller than the first one.
