Server IP: MC-Convicted.org
TeamSpeak 3: MC-Convicted.org
- Looking for a classic, nostalgic, bare-bones prison server? You've come to the right place! Convicted is the longest running prison server of all time, and has set precedents for numerous servers of its kind.
- Since our creation, we've stuck to the same, competitive gameplay. None of that saturated, OP-Prison garbage.
No coddling. No unfair play. Just pure, raw, competitive pvp. Enjoy your time in prison.
You've been sentenced to life in Penitentiary. The Prison runs on a currency called Behavior Points. With BP you can buy items, plots, cells, and a higher prison rank. Most items can be sold for BP, but how you get these items is up to you. Will you work in the mines or shank your cellmate? Will you befriend the guards or become notoroius?
=======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
Use /rankup to pay the required amount and ascend to the next rank.
Only the worst prisoners will be sent here. Hard labor and dark, murky conditions make this block abundant with illegal activity. As a result, Guards rarely patrol the area.
Cost: 2,500 BP
The default rank of convicts. Mining and chopping wood are your basic moneymakers. Most people live here, so crime and violence are everywhere. The cost only applies if you are ranking up from D-Prisoner.
Cost: 15,000 BP
Congratulations on ascending from the lowest block. But to continue progressing through the ranks, more BP is needed. New mines, new cells, and less PvP make prison life easier.
Cost: 35,000 BP
Finally, your first taste or luxury! You may find that ranking up is easier from here on out. Some of the fastest moneymakers as well as minimal PvP make this block a great reward.
Cost: 65,000 BP
You've made it! You are now the highest rank of prisoners. You have every sector at your fingertips and are highly respected by prisoners and staff. Four incredible ways to earn BP, month-long cells, and absolutely no PvP make this block the best in the prison. Freedom is only one step away!
Cost: 100,000 BP
Through good behavior, you have finally earned your freedom. You are now free to roam the wilderness. Prison rules are not enforced here. Stealing from others is allowed, but griefing is not. You may come back to the prison at any time, but you must follow prison rules while inside.
Chain Armor Protection II
Congratulations on being accepted! You must now prove yourself worthy to become a full guard. If you work hard, a promotion won't be far off.
Chain Armor Protection IV
You are now a full-fledged Guard. Patrol the prison and make sure the rules are being enforced. Break fights, kill offenders, and confiscate contraband items. You also now have access to Block-B, and are invulnurable to hunger.
Chain Armor Protection VI
Your trust and loyalty has attained you the prestigious rank of Alpha Guard. Your powers are like that of a moderator; you have the ability to mute, kick, ban, and warp. Your recommendations now mean a lot to newer Guards. Your influence upon server decisions is greatly increased. The only rank left to attain is Warden.
Wardens maintain the server. We regulate events, glitches, rules, and strive to keep the server at its best.

Trust me, I know. And I only had minecraft on my computer to come help out on convicted, now that I'd only come on on occasion I think it's just easier to say goodbye and move on. It's time for me to do so, hopefully everyone will understand.

I would also like to say a special thank you to Viper, I've known him for roughly 17-ish months now, and he's not just someone I worked with on the server, but we were friends on a personal level, so thank you for all crazy we've done. (I'm sure there's more to come)
Another thank you goes out to Noakii, we have this sort of love/hate relationship where we can argue and argue one minute, then work fine the next. I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you for everything.
I doubt anyone's going to read all this so I'll make it short, but here goes.
One year and six months ago, I stumbled upon this newly released server called convicted, I joined and instantly.. hated it. Honestly, I was killed repeatedly, I got so angry that I spammed and was muted for 2 days. After this, I started growing on the server. I met some really good friends here, some of which I still keep in touch with daily. I right away took the path of being part of the staff, there was no trainee-guards at this point of course, since it was a few stages before 1.7.3. It took me less than a month to gain viper, noakii, receptiveraptor, pianojazz, mobain, and counker2's trust to become one of the first few alphaguards. Raptor was the first warden to be promoted since release, I was there and I still remember the assembly held in the c foyer with intense dramatic music. I knew I wanted that. so I worked my butt off for another month, by this time most of the other alphas were sort-of inactive, aside from me and beexichan. Raptor messages me on skype, saying to get on quick, and bring beex. I did, we were both tp'd into an assembly much like Raptor's, and were both promoted to be the 2nd and 3rd promoted wardens since release. I was ecstatic, although sadly beex quit shortly after. The staff and players by this point had already grown on me. I don't have a whole lot to say, other than how happy I am to see the prison and it's community advance over time. back when only mafia could afford a top plot, not because players sold them for too much, but the base price of 65k was an insane amount of money. Free was a rare rank, Elite block? nonexistant. It wasn't until I was alpha that we began working on it. Grinders didn't exist either, and jail cells were all individual 2x1 spaces with glass windows, which if you broke added 5 minutes to your sentance. I remember the day whiteboii raged at me getting warden, so he banned everyone on the server. I remember the day drmeangreen tricked deathbanes into getting him OP, and he ran around breaking the reeds. I remember the day aj2000 duped hundreds of blocks of iron. I remember the first time someone made a million BP. I miss these days, when players didn't need overly defined rules to know what was wrong and what was right. Back when being a guard meant earning it through trust, not through having the fanciest application.
Over the year and a half, as weak as this sounds, the server's made an impact on me. I hope I've made an impact on it, and you. hopefully you reading this will have all of your own stories to share, as I'm sure most of you already do. I want to say one final thanks to everybody for keeping this server along all this time. It's been a great run, maybe I'll come back on sometime to say hey.
[please don't take this as a joke, I'm sorry to say this is completely true, I was demoted, and I am now quitting on a good note.]
viva la convicted.

I was this close from changing your ban to a 3 day temp ban and sending you to C, because you were honest about xraying.
That was, until I read your unban app showing that you lied.
The ban will stay; I can stand xrayers who admit to it off the bat, but I don't want our player base filled with xraying liars.
Think of this as a lesson for the next server you play on. :L

Galuzer's right. Is my word enough proof?

The blocks being rolled back is due to lag, the server opens for about 10 seconds while it loads permission, then fails to load them, then restarts without warning, causing any server actions to roll back. So there's about a 10-second interval to log on, say something, then lag and be disconected.
I can't fix it, also I'll be at work until late tonight, so wait for viper to get on or see if noakii can fix it.
