3)How long have you been playing the server? I've been playing on Convicted for about 6 months now, I've been enjoying every seconds on it so far!
4)Have you read the server, prison and guard rules? Yes, I did read the guard rules because if I get chosen to be a Guard, I want to know all the rules really well and respect them all.
5)Any experience with this prison genre? Yes I have experience with this prison genre, I've played a few prison servers like this genre and this is the best by far. I played on this server for a long time now so I really know how it works.
6)What is your time zone? UTC-4 (I live in Eastern Canada)
7)Why are you the best choice of Guard? I think I'm the best choice of guard because I have some experience with other prison genre like Convicted, I'm also a really nice person and I've been respecting the rules since the beggining I joined Convicted. Like a few other person, I'm online almost all the time. I'm online on Convicted 6 or 7 hours per day, that's a lot! I think that a Guard that plays a lot on a server is really good because there is always someone to watch if someone breaks the rules. Because my time zone is differant to most of the members and the Guard on this server, I sometimes go online and there is no Guard to watch the server, and if somebody is breaking the rules, there is no one to stop them, that's one of the good reason I should be Guard.
Like everyone knows, I have been FreeDonor for quite a while. I think buying full donor was one of my best $40 I've spent in my life, it's awesome, but I think I've had enough of Free, I want to try to move on and try becoming a Guard. Another thing that Guard needs to be good at I think is being a good PvPer and never back up from fights; I never back up. I'm not the person who talks a lot in the chat, so people doesn't know me well. I'm a really generous person and I really like helping people. I would like to be Guard not only to change rank, but to help the server and move on, because I feel like I've reached all my goals on this server except getting Guard. I also respect all the rules and I really want to make sure that nobody is breaking any of them, that's one of the good reason I'm applying here today. If I don't make get to my goal, I will keep pushing till I get it, I'm a determined person and I never give up. Some people may know, but I'm a really mature and responsible person for my age, I'm also really trustworthy and you guys can count on me if you need something, I'm ready to help!
I'm not sure if you guys know, but I'm french, writing in english for me is a really big challenge, I may have not the best vocabulary, the best syntaxe and the best application, but in every single applications I made on this forum, I have work my butt off and gave my 100% to write it. I think that just giving your 100% to write an application like this deserves at least a shot and have a chance of proving yourself. It shows that I really want guard, because it took me hours to write my application so far, that shows that I fight for it and I really deserve it. I'd like to thank you for reading this application so far, it really means a lot to me. Convicted is the server that I've been enjoying myself the most on all the server I have ever played in my minecraft career, this server is awesome, we have an awesome community and everyone respect others. I would like to make Convicted a even better community by stoping people fighting and cussing after other people in the chat. I started doing applications about a few months ago and in every single application I post, I make sure that the next one is at perfection. I know that to my eyes, when I read it, it's perfect to me but I know that when you guys read, there is a few mistakes here and there, so I'd like for you guys to give me tips and don't be afraid to tell me, I won't take it personally, I would actually appreciate very much!
Even though I may not be the Guard with the most experience on the server at the start, believe it or not, I learn things fast and I would work my ass off to be a good one in a few days! All this to say that I'm ready to take the responsablity of being a Guard in Convicted, I'm a really trustworthy person, you can also count on me for Guard at any time and expect me of doing a great job and help the server!
8)Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your application will result in immediate decline? Of course I understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read my application will result in immediate decline because I know it's really annoying for you guys that members begs for someone to read their application.
9)What is your prison rank? I'm currently a FreeDonor but I really wish to be a Guard on Convicted

2) Your age: 12
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days) 3 days and 2 minutes
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes, Noakii
5) Any experience with the prison genre? I have played multiple prison servers and I am guard one of them. I have also been guard on here too.
6) What is your time zone?
GMT
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs)
I am the best choice for guard because first of all, I have had experience with guard on this server before so I do know all the commands for this position already. I am also a guard on another prison server so I am a little more experienced with guarding than I was last time I applied for guard. I know all the rules to guarding and I have been in situations where I learn more about each and every rule for guarding. I fully understand rules in guarding now, only because of prior experience.
I am also decent at PvP. I know for a fact that I’m not the best but I’m not the worst either. I riot from time to time but I never realized how great it was on the guard perspective of the riot. I carry opples when I riot and if I get guard I will carry them too so I can put effort into the fight. Some prisoners like to run away to troll and guards don't chase because they are lazy. Well I say, just pull out a bow. I am now going to most likely carry bows to try and eliminate chases into cy this time and I’m a pretty good shot too.
Another reason I am the best choice for guard is because I will be very active on the server as I already am and when I was still a Trainee, I always guarded unless it was very early in the morning when very few people were online. I will not do parkour all the time, only in the mornings and late nights, and I will guard to the best of my ability and try to make the correct choices in whether to jail or not or how long to jail for. I will respect the alpha’s and warden’s decisions and respect my fellow guards and try to assist them at all times. I also have a free alt this time so if I get bored of guarding for a little I can use that account to parkour and such.
I want guard so I can make a difference. I know I am a free and I have chaos but that doesn't make a huge difference to the server. I want to try and be a person who will make the server better. I can make a difference in guarding and show that guarding would be a lot different without me. I know I retired fairly quickly last time but this time I'm planning on staying for a while. Some may wonder on how to trust me about that and I will tell you. I'm starting to get bored of convicted but if I become a guard again, I will constantly have something to do. Being a free every moment that I'm online gets really boring but when I was Trainee, I found that it never got boring and I like being given different situations to work with and I can be that one person who makes a difference. I will also live off this motto as a guard if I am accepted again: "We are human and not perfect. We will make mistakes."
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline?Yes I do understand.
9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? I am currently C and I have many screenshots saved.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could talk to an editor of the Convicted Wiki to potentially get some rares that I have listed on there
If so please pm me on the forums.
3) How long have you been playing the server?( minimum of 3 days): I have been playing convicted for a year and a half.
4) Have you read the server, prison, and guard rules?: Yes I have read all the server, prison, and guard rules many times I have always wanted to be a guard but I never made a application until now.
5) Any experience with the prison genre?: yes I have spent a long time on convicted and convicted even made me want to make my own prison server. But I changed my mind because there is no way I will ever leave convicted.
6) What is your time zone?: my time zone is EST.
7) Why are you the best choice for guard?: Firstly, why I think I would be a good choice for trainee is that I would like to keep the killing of the newer players to a low. Because many c's are complaining that they are being killed just because they are defenseless against the frees. Many c's are quitting because they cant even get from the c bank to the c quarry without being killed. so I would like to prevent most of the c's from being killed. My second reason why I think I would be a good choice for guard is that I am good at pvp and I know the tricks of pvp.
Another reason I think I would be good for guard is that I want to make sure that the bad people are put in jail if they have been breaking rules and I will make sure that I report the news of a player on convicted breaking a server rule to Noakii or any other wardens. I don't like it when people break rules and I am sure no one else likes it either so I want to help keep people from making bad decisions.
8) do you understand that nagging wardens in-game to read you app will result in a immediate decline? yes I am fully aware of this I am sure the wardens do not like it when there are too many people begging them to look at there app.
9) what is your current prison rank? do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? My current rank is free I have been free for 6-7 months. yes I understand that you will need a screenshot of this when/if I retire
Noakii
I was a trainee about 4 months ago and then I decided to quit. I would like to apply to be trainee again thank you for taking the time to read my app
Hello, as many of you know, the first set of double chaos is set to be achieved. Unfortunately, this brings back the issue of strength 2. I did some research on this one. A full set of chain armor blocks 50% of damage with no enchants. Each protection number provides a 75% increase from the base armor. strength 2 provides a 260% damage increase. We will now take a sharp4 fire2 sword for the math, as it is the average carried sword. Each level of sharpness provides an increase of 2 damage. A normal diamond sword does 7 damage. 7+8= 15, + 8 ticks of fire= 23. 23*2.6= 59.8 damage. More math. Chain armor blocks half damage. + Prot 4. 59.8/2=29.9 EPF factor of 5, for total EPF of 20 on guard armor. this means that the damage will be reduced by 80%, but only what gets through the armor. The problem is, 29.9 damage gets through. Therefore, 5.98 damage still gets through. (3 hearts) Now, since I added in the fire when doing the percents, the math is off, however, the difference would only be 2.08, or 1 heart. Overall, strength 2 provides a drastic unfair advantage in PVP. Thank you for reading, but since I only did the basics, the damage is MUCH more severe, as shown when alphas are crushed by it.
-RAGED
I do agree with that the strength two is op and I believe that once more people achieve double chaos, it might be removed or nerfed. When I have trainee armor on without the buff, I get two hitted with a reg. diamond sword. I think it should be nerfed.
Alright guys we have a severe problem with the new Minecraft EULA. First, read the article: https://mojang.com/
Ok, second, we need to find a solution to maintain the server with these new rules. We won't be able to have donor ranks anymore and that will be a problem because Viper might not be able to pay for the server. Also the new rules state " nor can you restrict gameplay elements to different tiers of player.", Now, THAT is a problem. We won't be able to have Guards because it restricts some gameplay elements from all the players. We also won't be able to have any ranks because prisoners can't have the gameplay element of survival like free's do. These rules will destroy prison servers including convicted so we need to find loop-holes in the rules or something to keep convicted alive. The author has said that there will be a "grace period" for these new rules. Unfortunately the grace period is for a couple weeks. We need everyone to start thinking of solutions and make sure Viper and Noakii are aware of these new changes.

I believe the "restricting gameplay elements to different tiers of player" only refers to donor/non-donor tiers, correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, it would be silly, since then it would be basically outlawing the "Admin" rank, etc. So no, I don't believe the entire structure of the server is jeopardized. Hexa is aware of these rules, and doesn't seem worried, so I don't think there's too much to be scared about. Maybe a little bit regarding donations, but that's most likely it.
While the first part of your post is correct ("We won't be able to have donor anymore"), the second part is wrong though.
To quote Dinnerbone from Twitter: "Ingame currency to unlock gameplay stuff is fine. Real money to unlock gameplay stuff is not fine, nor money to buy the ingame currency." This means prisoner ranks and guard ranks won't have to be changed, just donor.
Yeah, I saw his post about that, It hadn't been there when I posted this. We still just need a way to keep the server running.

Okay, I have been inactive for a long time. I have still be reading the forums every day.
So a solution for donor.
We could have people donate but give no rewards. Sure this decreases the chance of donating but maybe we can just give them special buffs or even pay money (after donating) to unlock the donor block.
What is gameplay?
Gameplay as a word is ambiguous and Mojang did not clarify what it refers to as gameplay. For all we know, it could be Minecraft gameplay or when applied to servers, non-admin gameplay. From their statements, I get the sense that their definition of gameplay means Minecraft gameplay of items and what not.
First statement: You are allowed to charge players to access your server
So...nothing different/new here for Convicted. As of now, Convicted is free for all to play on, with exceptions of banned players and other unsavory characters.
Second statement: You are allowed to accept donations - You are not allowed to restrict gameplay features in an attempt to make money. So this might make Convicted change a bit. I do not know how or if this would affect donor/non-donor ranks. On one hand, "restricting gameplay features for money" can be debatable because of admin vs non-admin, prison ranks vs frees, frees/nonstaff vs guards, non-donors vs donors, and so on. So I'll just avoid this as it would be best to ask Mojang how such structural/hierarchy/staff regulations apply.
Third/Fourth statement: You are allowed to provide in-game advertising or sponsorship opportunities & You cannot charge real-world cash for in-game currency
Questionable of "In-Game Cash" and "1000 XP" http://convicted.buycraft.net/category/9962 The "In-Game Cash" for USD. Kind of directly in conflict with the 4th statement. While this is a "Donation" with "Extra perks/boost", Mojang stated "We don’t mind you making up currencies which players earn through playing but you are not allowed to sell it for real-world cash." and "We don’t mind you selling items in game, but they must be purely cosmetic." The above might apply to http://convicted.buycraft.net/category/22484 "1000 XP" for $5 as it does affect gameplay by providing said consumer with an "extra boost" and that XP is not cosmetic in any form or shape. (Unless you count the green orbs?)
In conclusion, I am unsure of how structural positions will be affected, but I believe the "In-Game Cash" and "1000 XP" would have to be changed. Mojang does not want a "pay-to-win" environment and seems to deem anything that would give "extra or unfair preferential benefits", benefits such as weapons, tools, and anything that can improve their performance in pvp or pve, to players that donate/buy packages a big NO-NO.
I believe the "restricting gameplay elements to different tiers of player" only refers to donor/non-donor tiers, correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, it would be silly, since then it would be basically outlawing the "Admin" rank, etc. So no, I don't believe the entire structure of the server is jeopardized. Hexa is aware of these rules, and doesn't seem worried, so I don't think there's too much to be scared about. Maybe a little bit regarding donations, but that's most likely it.
Edit: Also what Galuzer said.
Agreed with Alexi. You can't restrict tiers of gameplay according to the article, however these ranks are all obtainable, without donating a single penny. All you have to do is put time into playing this server, then the other "restricted areas/tiers" won't be restricted anymore since you have made enough money for the new rank. This goes for everyone. Anyone is able to D, C, B, A, Elite, Free, etc. Now, trainees, guards, alphas, and wardens. These ranks are all obtainable without donating as well. Just be smart, and write a good application on the forums. If you prove yourself worthy enough, then there you have it, no money involved, you are new a full fledged trainee guard. If you continue to put time into your job and dedication, you can get promoted to guard then maybe even AlphaGuard. Afterwards, just like benjee, builder, and other players did, were able to have the chance to become Warden, because of trust, and dedication into the server, since they like playing it and love the server itself. They have donated, but in the end, no money in real life is required to reach these ranks. I know donor does, but what i wrote, was persisting to the Non-Donor ranks. I just want to give my opinion about this that's all, no harsh feelings. Some comments about this would be great!!! Thanks !
Edit: I have a suggestion about the donor packages if it is a problem. Maybe include a "package" that someone would pay for as a pure donation or not, and then that can pay for a drop party by one of the wardens at an agreed time for everyone on the server who wants to attend. Therefore, everyone can experience this.

"You are allowed to charge players to access your server
If Donor become a separate server but parallel (BP, items, etc can carry over between the two) to the main server, we can argue that we host two servers, one free to play on and one paid.

Approximate time of ban: Thursday June 12 5 PM EST
Why you deserve to be unbanned: I never used aimbot while I was fighting Yoda.
Additional information: I was in B Block just walking around and Yoda asked to fist fight. So I said ok and did it. He kills me and I come back. He then asks me to go again so, I do. Then he kills me and I come back and asks to fight again. Thats when he kills me and bans me for Aimbot.

Hexa is aware of these rules, and doesn't seem worried, so I don't think there's too much to be scared about. Maybe a little bit regarding donations, but that's most likely it.
Edit: Also what Galuzer said.
Yeah, I saw his post about that, It hadn't been there when I posted this. We still just need a way to keep the server running.

Okay, I have been inactive for a long time. I have still be reading the forums every day.
So a solution for donor.
We could have people donate but give no rewards. Sure this decreases the chance of donating but maybe we can just give them special buffs or even pay money (after donating) to unlock the donor block.

So I may or may not be an end me
Let us break it down (Feel free to add to this)
What is gameplay?
Gameplay as a word is ambiguous and Mojang did not clarify what it refers to as gameplay. For all we know, it could be Minecraft gameplay or when applied to servers, non-admin gameplay. From their statements, I get the sense that their definition of gameplay means Minecraft gameplay of items and what not.
First statement: You are allowed to charge players to access your server
So...nothing different/new here for Convicted. As of now, Convicted is free for all to play on, with exceptions of banned players and other unsavory characters.
Second statement: You are allowed to accept donations - You are not allowed to restrict gameplay features in an attempt to make money.
So this might make Convicted change a bit.
I do not know how or if this would affect donor/non-donor ranks. On one hand, "restricting gameplay features for money" can be debatable because of admin vs non-admin, prison ranks vs frees, frees/nonstaff vs guards, non-donors vs donors, and so on. So I'll just avoid this as it would be best to ask Mojang how such structural/hierarchy/staff regulations apply.
Third/Fourth statement: You are allowed to provide in-game advertising or sponsorship opportunities & You cannot charge real-world cash for in-game currency
Questionable of "In-Game Cash" and "1000 XP"
http://convicted.buycraft.net/category/9962 The "In-Game Cash" for USD. Kind of directly in conflict with the 4th statement. While this is a "Donation" with "Extra perks/boost", Mojang stated "We don’t mind you making up currencies which players earn through playing but you are not allowed to sell it for real-world cash." and "We don’t mind you selling items in game, but they must be purely cosmetic."
The above might apply to http://convicted.buycraft.net/category/22484 "1000 XP" for $5 as it does affect gameplay by providing said consumer with an "extra boost" and that XP is not cosmetic in any form or shape. (Unless you count the green orbs?)
In conclusion, I am unsure of how structural positions will be affected, but I believe the "In-Game Cash" and "1000 XP" would have to be changed. Mojang does not want a "pay-to-win" environment and seems to deem anything that would give "extra or unfair preferential benefits", benefits such as weapons, tools, and anything that can improve their performance in pvp or pve, to players that donate/buy packages a big NO-NO.
Edit: I have a suggestion about the donor packages if it is a problem. Maybe include a "package" that someone would pay for as a pure donation or not, and then that can pay for a drop party by one of the wardens at an agreed time for everyone on the server who wants to attend. Therefore, everyone can experience this.
If Donor become a separate server but parallel (BP, items, etc can carry over between the two) to the main server, we can argue that we host two servers, one free to play on and one paid.
Me: Well, Killion is like middle school, so it works.
Current rank on the server: Free
Reason you were banned: Aimbot
Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: Yoda404
Approximate time of ban: Thursday June 12 5 PM EST
Why you deserve to be unbanned: I never used aimbot while I was fighting Yoda.
Additional information: I was in B Block just walking around and Yoda asked to fist fight. So I said ok and did it. He kills me and I come back. He then asks me to go again so, I do. Then he kills me and I come back and asks to fight again. Thats when he kills me and bans me for Aimbot.
2) Your age: 15
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days) Over 2 months but inactive.
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes
5) Any experience with the prison genre? Yes, I also like the RP genre
6) What is your time zone? Central
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs)I think I would be a good choice because I am an experienced Minecraft Player, I also want to keep the server clean. I am both trustworthy and without grudges.
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? Yes
9) What is your current prison rank? C-Block
Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? Now I do.
