For colored names, I think all who have access to donor block should get the colored name with it, it shows that they have access to donor and is a park that should simply go with donor

Donor block: I get it that it could be monthly, but at the current prices, I would go to killion (jk). But for real, I think there should be a main donor area with some quests, and better mines that is permanent, for around $40. But you can still buy a better donor on top of the other one that gives you access to the best, most luxurious mines and mob farms along with exclusive quests and perks nobody else can get (possibly even shops or items just for them), and that bonus donor block is for just the people paying monthly for similar prices to the current donor system. It could also grant access to the title next to your name, while regular donors only get the colored name.

Sorry I rushed this post may be a little sloppy but you'll get the point

I think the colored names should be permanent but donor block being permanent would have a big cash flow at the start but then once everyone had donated how would they get their money? Also making donor mines as good as you are saying would break the economy donor isnt supposed to be for frees to get hella cash its for c,b,a's and maybe elites to have a better mine than what they have in lower blocks. Donor mines are decent for the economy right now but should never go back to being as op as they were. Also I agree its a little over priced and they should lower it a significant amount which would be a constant flow of money even though it might not be as much. Honestly I'm fine with the current prices because I have a job and $35 every 90 days is nothing and I think is honestly worth it for ANVILS ANVILS ANVILS ANVILS ANVILS ANVILS ANVILS ADD ANVILS if we have to pay this much. But ya I get what you're saying and not everyone can afford $35 every 90 days. But Its harder to make decisions about donor than we think they have to think long term and not just shortterm! Cut them some slack knowing the great staff we have they will sort it out and give us the best alternative it just takes some time.

1) Username: ArcticRival (noakii) - not sure if we still need this 

2) Your age: 17

3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days): I started playing convicted in December 2011

4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules?: Yes I have and I know them like the back of my hand

5) Any experience with the prison genre?: I have a ton of experience with prison servers

6) What is your time zone? U.S. Central (iowa)

7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I think i'm the best choice because im loyal like a puppy and i always respect my peers and elders even when i have to do the dirty work i let no one get in my way of doing my job i will ruin friendships for my responsibility and i will hurt my loved ones. I will respect every prisoner the same no matter what background they have and we have together.

   I am also Dedicated to my work i will not quit until everything is perfect i will not stop playing until i die, i will not stop guarding till i retire you will see me on every chance i get and i will do my job and help others. No one will dislike my activeness i will see everything that goes on in this prison. I will never give up my opportunity to guard my fellow inmates.

    I dont care what people think there WILL BE NO FAVORITES my job will be done quick and clean with no exceptions of my friends getting in the way i will always choose my Job over my friends. I believe that if you don't help others your not helping the server your just killing people I WILL NOT IGNORE ANYONE like some of the guards did.

   One last thing you need if your going to be a guard you need to be able to be patient and calm without these qualities you will not survive. I have 3 younger brothers and they bring my patience very thin but i have learned to deal with it also since im the oldest im not the favorite so if your not getting favored GET OVER IT that's the way life is and if you don't like it i say SNAP BACK TO REALITY! I know how it is to have abusive guards so that will be no problem with me. Im not one to give up after i get bored if i get bored i will guard to not be bored. 

 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? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? None lolz!

Attention Hippies aka Convicted players.

We are nearing on reopening our doors. As in any prison, you need guards to be there to keep the prison safe from hippies killing each other for who knows what reason, maybe the other guy looked at him funny and wanted to steal his taco surprise that I was serving in the cafeteria or maybe he just doesn't like the fact that he exists. We need have guards ready when we reopen our doors! So please fill out a guard application if you are interested in joining the guard ranks and keeping the prison safe! Do keep in mind that were accepting behaved players as guard, if you have a history of being constantly rude or causing nothing but trouble, your chances will be very low.

In other news, We are working on donor packages and coming up with new ideas for perks!
We also know that there is players that can't spend too much money, so we are coming up with a cheap alternate way to donate to the server that can be convenient for low budget players! Stay tuned for more info in the future.

Here is a teaser on one of my projects, what will it be used for???

Here is the Guard application for you guys to copy!

Opples should never come back we should keep them blacklisted

Quote from Jaakey

1) Why do you wish to be a guard? I see a lot of people getting killed and then guards never kill the murderer and i would like to cut this down.

2) How long have you been playing the server? I've only being playing two days although I know how things work.

3) Do you understand that abusing your powers as guard will lead to you being stripped of your status and maybe even banned? Yes, I have seen two people abuse the powers and be stripped.

4) Why are you a good choice for guard? I don't take sides over people and I don't hold grudges this means I do bad stuff to innocent people (i.e. kill). I know how things work e.g. Jail times and why people must be jailed and that I need to take swords off of people. I am trustworthy and kind so I will offer all help I can to people, I chat with proper grammar so people will understand me, thanks for your time.

IGN: cape_panda
Current rank on the server: Trainee
Reason you were banned: Spam
Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: Noakii
Approximate time of ban: 10:30 EST.
Why you deserve to be unbanned: I was just sending money to Noakii as a joke. Yes I sent it a couple of times but just before that we were talking and joking around about minecon. I did not think that it would have been taken in a negative way. If someone was doing it just to annoy or making it hard to use the chat then that is one thing. But if they are just sending it a couple of time out of just joking then that is another. Right after I sent it I was like lol Noakii I gave you a donation. It was no big deal in my opinion.
Any additional information: Not that sums it up.

From who? I haven't been on the server since Thursday.

Usually people who spends more than 5 minutes to write them applications, have more chances to be accepted.

I have a suggestion regarding Donor that I feel be unpopular, but I feel it is a reasonable compromise nonetheless. It is no secret that the server needs money to operate, and it has been relatively lacking in income in the last few months before its temporary shutdown. I propose that to help with income, Donor is taken from those who have already donated and offered at half-price or quarter-price for those people. In addition to the same perks that were given before, those who re-donate could receive something special but non-OP, kind of like a commemorative item. Something like their name or player head on a board dedicated for two-time Donors outside the prison, or a special book thanking them and discussing the new server, or their player head, or a combination of the three, or something else if there are any other ideas about it. This way Convicted will get a surge of income that can be used to keep the server afloat for at least another several months, if not a year, while providing acknowledgement and special but not game-breaking treatment for those who have donated before the reset.

THANK you penguii this is all that ive wanted! A release date whether or not you might not be able to make it on time it still gives us a time frame!

Thank you now i will be shutting up about the server progress

I would have said this earlier since you have been asking, but it has just started to being discussed about. Yet again, this may change.

i was going to be saying your outline thing, but when I asked if i could post it ir not, the answer was no. I'd love to be honest with you guys but I just can't ;(

Why are you so impatient? I've been very busy lately, along with the rest of the staff, so we just can't get around to the server very often. We do have lives, a videogame isn't our number one priority or concern. For the lack of teasers or spoilers, that is because we aren't going to spoil everything on the new server, we want to keep some stuff a surprise! We actually have been very cautious about this. Even when I did tease the entrance of A-Block everybody bashed and bickered about it, which highly discouraged and dissapointed me, it just proves to show even more how impatient and ungrateful you guys are.

Maybe we should give you guys more updates and I take partial blame for that, but for now just please be patient. Go play on another server, or even another videogame. This takes a lot more work than you think and some of you guys are underestimating the work it takes which is frustrating some of us.

We are not saying "OMG HURRY UP WITH THE SERVER" we just want to know whats going on. You apologized and explained what is going on in the 2nd paragraph so you are fine. The most I am asking for is a simple checklist that only takes a couple minutes to make it would spoil nothing and give us a general understanding what you guys have been doing. You can use my example one I made below if it suits you.

Convicted Prison Checklist

D block [insert percentage here]

B block [insert percentage here]

C block [insert percentage here]

A block [insert percentage here]

Elite block [insert percentage here]

Free [insert percentage here]

Prestige block [insert percentage here]

Plug-ins [inset percentage here]

Exterior/Interior [insert percentage here]

Misc [insert percentage here]

[insert percentage of over all completion]

You can add comments if you want go into more detail or do something better than this because I assume it would be hard to get percentages but again it is just a example you guys can expand upon.

you guys taking to long. Honestly you could have it up in a week if you put 20 minutes a day. A word of advice, the more you make people wait the more people have a possibility of finding another server and settling. Which is a problem since there are so many monopoly servers with thousands of players its going to be hard enough to get people to play on this prison server.

I do slightly agree with this statement it's been well over a couple months and the only thing we have seen of completion is very few snips of the prison that can be redesign in the matter of minutes. I understand people are busy with school that was the main reason I quit but you can leave players up to dry with very few updates. A more precised launch date would be something other than "Summer 2015" I would rather you guys say hey due to IRL stuff that isnt in our control we wont be ready by the summer if that is the case.

Just a little teaser with the progress on A-Block. Keep in mind that it might not look like this on release date. Progress is still being made, fear not! Just be patient until everything gets finished up, it takes time and effort to do this.

Looks almost exactly the same. I see nothing wrong with that, however, it just proves my point even more.

Cbit is coming back fools!

Greetings hooligans!

Here is screenshot of some of the work we have done
