Server in March 19 - June 6 (2012). Just read this and you will understand and no this is not about a ghost or a haunted server it is about a player who caused fear through the sever who was known as the Mystic ShovelMaker who killed off about 50% of a sever without ever being seen.
March 19: This was the day the ShovelMaker attacked but no one knew it then.
The server started off as a Hardcore survival sever. It had an average of 500-1000 people playing on it. It was a good survival sever which had plugins (trees respawn after being "chopped" down, no death messages to keep from spamming the chat (hidden) ). I remember when I first got on and played with no fear about getting killed until this happened:
(I left the unimportant stuff out like "LOL" and stuff like that I also edited names to protect them from haters)
Chat:
Deathlywatch: Hi
Barnsbake: Hello Deathlywatch how are you?
Deathlywatch: good
Barnsbake: well ok than but just a word of warning never leave spawn alone.
Deathlywatch: why?
Barnsbake: Because there are people like trolls to keep the newbie numbers down
Deathlywatch: Well I don't know about you but I am not a noob
Fire_is_Lame: There has been an attack!!!
Darners: So?
Fire_is_Lame: On a whole bunch of people there is a buttload of stuff in this cave that I know one person could
Fire_is_Lame: not hold that much
Barnsbake: Probably a double chest broke
Fire_is_Lame: it cant be... there is no sign of an explosion and who would leave about 6 diamonds?
Darners:0_0
Deathlywatch: Where are you Fire?
Fire_is_Lame: In this cave I was mining when I came across this living area
Deathlywatch: Well can you give coords
Darners:yeah can we check it out
Deathlywatch: hello?
Barnsbake:Fire!
(And so on and we considered he must of logged off)
March 20-31
Well after that we met and started an exhibition to find this cave. On our adventures the chat activity started to drop a little bit everyday. The worst and most spamming talkers would disappear with no ban message, The "noobs" would not demand that someone should help them (noob not newb) and so on. We never found the cave but the weirdest thing happened. When we made a "tent" in a forest area Barnsbake suggested that he should scout around the area to make sure we aren't to close to a protective owners home(people who think everyone who walks by their house is going to troll it). Well we waited until night and he never came back. Me and Darners went to see where he went and we found a pile of stuff with Barnsbake sharpness 1 iron sword laying there. We considered he died and grieved a little bit because he was so funny to have around. We decided to go on without him and went back to our house.
Later when I logged off and went to the servers forum I found that many people were talking about a maniac who killed them.They called him the Mystic ShovelMaker because when they died the last thing they saw was an Diamond shovel in their face. They never saw his name or they could not make it out. All they saw was a lower half of steves body when they looked at the background of the death screen . They also said that this guy is killing everyone in the server and that they should add death messages to see who it is.But, the server would not have it because they need proof of who did it before kicking someone off after the message shows that they killed someone. The forum said the server should kick the person off after seeing a lot of deaths by a specific person and the sever agreed.
(May 9th)
This day was when they removed the death messages after they were sure the person who was committing the crime was banned and they reopened the server to the people who were kicked off. Well that day was the worst because with having my friend(Darners) accidentally falling off a 50-100 block tall mountain to only find a hole in the mountain instead of a cave I was already in a bad mood. Then around 3:00-4:00 the chat suddenly got quiet which was usual with all the kids getting off at the time to eat I decided to build a memorial for Darners and Barnsbake in the cave. Then a message popped up on me: HighLow294: THERE IS A KILLER ON THE LOSE!!!! Deathlywatch: Hold on what happened? HighLow294: I WENT INTO A CAVE TO HELP MY 3 FRIENDS MINE BUT ALL I SAW WAS A PILE OF STUFF! Deathlywatch: Where are you at? HighLow294: In the forest cave near spawn! Deathlywatch: Whats your coords? (He never spoke to me) I /home at the place I was at and /spawn over there and went into the forest.I sent a message to everyone to help me find this guy who did this and I got pretty good results(about 20 players). We went into the forest and searched everywhere. We came to realize that there was a bunch of stuff from every single player lying there but not picked up.I and a couple of guys found a cave and searched into it. After fighting through mobs through the highly complex cave system I realized we were in this guy/girls lair and we are sitting ducks(I had just told my group to split up and search the caves). I messaged my group and 2 did not respawn (repeat back to me). I told the other guy to go back to the opening and then sent a message to the exhibition to tell them we think the guy is in the cave. I went back to the opening and then I found out the guy did not return and I sent the whole group in with a few of exceptions(There were newbies with the group). We made camp at the front and waited until tomorrow before we went into the cave by ourselves. I had us stick together the whole time through but we spilt into two when we came onto a cave intersection and that's when I lost contact with my other half group.It was just me and WSMario69 to finish this and went on until when I turned around I realized that he was not with me and a pile of stuff was laying 20 blocks from where I was from. Then I got hit and lost about half my hearts from it and ran without turning around. When I returned to the surface I found out a couple of other players were looting through our stuff and I told them to run quick. When I turned around all I saw was an enchanted diamond shovel in my face.
I guess the other people saw him and ran but when I checked on the server on June 6th I found out that they had 5 out of 1000 and I was mad when my idea to save the server went down into the toilet. I then found out later that day the server had shut down completely.I will never know who killed me but I know it was a player because I saw a slight indication of his end of his name that ended with numbers at the end.
All I know is that the Mystic ShovelMaker is still out there tormenting hardcore survival servers. I look up Hardcore Survival servers everytime I go on the internet to see if he had striked but it looks like he is dormant... for now.
Deathlywatch- If you wan't more TRUE creepy story's from me click the like button below... WAIT IS THERE A LIKE BUTTON? Well click the little green arrow pointing up then!
Thanks I just want people to know the truth I really don't know if this is where they got "him" from but they did start saying his name before it shut down
Well all I said (before anyone else responds to this) is that this is where I thought he started off as but back during the time of the server things were getting creepy and it was even though the shovel killing-part was kinda funny but still scary when all of a sudden you got slaughtered out of nowhere. But, anyway I hoped you enjoyed the story
