The Hunt for the Weeping Creeper

A few days ago, I posted a story about a strange figure messing with my build and world in my private server who had a dark skin with a sad, crying creeper face. I mentioned several of the things he did, including carving his face into walls and floors, and placing signs with crying faces. This, however, is not all I have found him able to do. I have found him to possibly be a benevolent being. All signs and carvings and creepers were mysteriously removed and all damage was mysteriously repaired.

This stranger is not a minecraft entity or a result of wacky source code. He is an actual player. I found this out by looking at my server logs. The disturbing thing though, was that where ever I knew it was saying his name, it should a dotted line like this : (.....). I personally named this person the weeping creeper because of how he looked, but maybe there is more to this mysterious visitor to my server. Maybe he has a purpose. I decided to hunt him down and interrogate him. Yesterday I pressed tab while in my server like every five minutes until he came on. It took him a while, but after much patience, I spotted his name tag in the tab list and the chat said, : ..... has joined the game. I must admit, I was a little weirded out. I kept wondering what he would do next, if he was hostile or friendly, if he was just some hacker or griefer, or if he was some ghost or haunt. I had so many questions, and I was going to have them answered. I went into Vanish and teleported to him. He was living in a humble hut deep in a forest biome, just.....surviving. It was interesting, like he was,....testing my server, trying it out. As I watched in vanish and creative mode, he spoke in the chat. "You're watching me in vanish cause I am a mystery to you.  Aren't you." Startled, I said. "No I'm not I'm in vanish but I'm building on the spawn."

"You're lying." He replied.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Why else would you go into vanish if I'm the only other person here. Obviously you don't want me to see you and usually that means you think I wouldn't approve of whatever you're doing.  Most people don't like to be watched so you most  likely, are watching me." He replied.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"If I told you, it would spoil the surprise."

"Well do you have a name."

"Haven't thought of one."

"Want me to pitch to you a few ideas?"

"very well."

"How about the Weeping Creeper. I mean it totally fit's your skin."

"True. Alright I will use that name as my own, but it will be slightly modified.  I don't want people finding out I'm on their server right away."

"Because you want to haunt them?"

"No. Because I want to observe and test them."

"Why?"

"To find the perfect server. To find home."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

I contemplated this, and then asked him about the carving of his face in the ground or on walls, the signs with crying faces and the creepers. He said the creepers were not him. Just some fluke of the game. He said that When he carved his face into the world, it meant he was there on the server. If he could not do so without getting in trouble, he would use the sign with the crying face. But then he explained to me that these were not the only signals he used. He said that if he disproved of a server, that he would place a single lapiz lazuli Block with a torch on top. If it was a normal torch, the server would be approved and he would stay for the rest of his life in minecraft. If however, it was a redstone torch, that would be a sign of disapproval and he would leave the server immediately and never return to it. I asked him what happened to the servers he rejected, and he said he didn't know, because mine was the first one. That's why he had done all those things to my build. He was testing everything. He then logged off. The next day, I logged on the server and saw a single lapiz lazuli block with a redstone torch on top. there was a sign nearby that read, "Very good, but not perfect." Suddenly my game went through a terrible lag spike, and the server crashed. I haven't been able to get it back up since. Did he do this to me? Was it intentional? If you have an experience involving this strange player, comment below. I'm thinking of going on a search for him through as many servers as I can find to see if I can learn more about him. This is my second Creepy Pasta post. Feel free to give me feedback. I love hearing how I can make myself better. Also stay safe and have fun :).
