- 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?
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.
- Do not attack other prisoners/guards.
- A Guard will kill all who attack regardless of who started it.
- If you kill the guard, he won't attack you again unless you break another rule
- No Running to Non-PvP after a guard hits you
- Results in jail time
- No starting 5+ fights in a short timespan
- Results in demotion to Block-D (applies only to C's)

- A Guard will count down from 5.
- If you do not hand it over, the following will happen:
- In a PvP-Zone: The guard will attack
- In a Non-PvP Zone: Results in jail time
- If you throw your item to another player and not a guard, the guard will decide whether it was intentional or an accident. The following will happen based on the guard's decision:
- Intentional: The guard will attack you as if you didn't give the item. The guard will not attack the other player
- Accident: The guard will count down again for the other person
- Do not abuse PvP zones
- No camping outside any Non-PvP area to kill other users
- No hopping back and forth between PvP and Non-PvP while a Guard is counting
- No running into Non-PvP during a Guard fight
- Plots and warp signs are treated as Non-PvP zones

- Read the Guard Rules before applying.
- Fill out the application and post it below.
- Wait for it to be reviewed. Do not ask a Warden in-game, or it will automatically be denied.
- Within one week we will make the decision. If you are not promoted, consider your application denied and try again.
GUARD APPLICATION:
1) Username:2) Your age:3) How long have you been playing the server?

I just wanted to give some of my input on the whole 2.0 thing-
(I'm not trying to offend Viper or the people working on the project- I hold Viper to a lot of respect)
I don't really think overhauling the map is the most ideal thing to do, for several reasons:
- You strip the nostalgia away from the old veterans, I loved the old prison for its simplicity yet diversity
- You give people something to insult, sure if you keep the old prison people might say "Wow lazy" but at
least you can say "this is home" "this prison has supported us for 3+ years", as opposed to having people
say "wow this map is so ____" "I can't stand this new prison" "I miss the old prison"
- People never really quit because of the map, most people quit because they got bored or peoples' friends left
As for the whole genre being "dead"-
Its true, anything will die at some point; it happens.
However I do think if Convicted takes the proper direction in terms of change, maybe it can
go back to being how it was in 2011-2013. I'm all for updating SOME parts of the prison,
but completely making a new prison doesn't seem necessary- I think all the effort should
be poured into improving game play/longevity and fixing the holes that killed Convicted slowly.
TL;DR- The old map wasn't what killed Convicted
But that's just my opinion.

I have died, to enjoy the sweet release of death- But I reanimate myself over and over to enjoy that feeling again
I hope everyone is doing fine, except for Jill

I've quickly recognized who you are, and frankly I won't be doing anything to you.
It's really obvious who you are, seeing as how I've seen so many rants from you.
I only answer questions if they're asked properly and I have the opportunity to;
And you act as if I have no freedom to play other games?
I play games for entertainment, and Convicted is one of the reasons I play on it.
But that doesn't mean I won't play other games like League.
If anything, I usually take breaks from Convicted so my entertainment feels renewed
once I get back on. But to see a post like yours makes me face-desk.
You've been having problems with the higher staff for AGES now, if you don't
like how we do things here; you don't belong here.
You expect us to act professional, Viper never intended for this server to be professional.
Viper intended for this server to be fun; and if you can't follow by the rules set by the Wardens,
you can fly away. Shoo!

That's cute Scientin, you think you're a veteran.
I don't know who the hell you are, and I'm pretty sure
its safe to say you are not known on this server.
The fact that Zoid and you have supposedly been here
for almost a year is just a blatant lie, Zoid is an A.
Seeing as he invited you here, I would expect you being a rank near him.
I'm just taking it that you two may have taken a break on Convicted to be
presumed being a player here for almost a year.
All your arguments are just assumptions of me thinking I'm better than you,
which I never stated, nor do I think.
And when I mean by time, I mean time used to
argue with the likes of you; this is a empty fight.
Go scurry along now.

I would just like to say for the record;
I've been around here for more than a year on Convicted,
As far as I know, this server hasn't been left "fruitless,"
if anything, so many seeds are among Convicted.
(I'm referring to seeds to the future generations and as a sexual joke)
I'm going to keep this short and simple for you Scientin and Zoid,
because I don't have time for this;
Good Riddance ♥

(Zoid's and Scientin's)
The fact that you Zoid, are on the internet, expect that everyone is nice,
and to hope there is no cussing is just your little fantasy.
Zoid this was not the first time you've excessively spammed my name for "help."
If I recall, this is the 3rd time you've done this :
The 1st time I was nice enough to do what you requested
because you did not expect a reply from me.
The 2nd time I was angered and mocked you by stating
that you don't need to keep things in private in message
if it was simply a "plot" reason.
The 3rd time I was just completely fed up by taking +4 lines
that were : "Noakii" "Noakii" "Noakii please" "Noakii" "SuperNoakii" etc.
Then you expect me to be all nicey sweet to you.
This is how our conversation would go if I replied to you
aftering saying Noakii for the 5th time;
Zoid (global chat) : Noakii (x5 lines)
Noakii (global chat) : ?
Zoid (global chat) : Can I talk to you in msg?
Noakii (global chat) : ok
Zoid (in msg) : Can I ask you something about plots?
Noakii (in msg) : ok
Zoid (in msg) : Can you __________ (insert request that was NEVER asked even when I went b!tch mode)
Do not expect me to not get upset because this is the 3rd time I've seen you drag on a chat that
does not need to be dragged on.
- This is what should have happened -
Good Scenario 1 :
Zoid (in global) : Noakii I need you to ____________
-BAM, request completed-
Good Scenario 2 :
Zoid (using /helpop because helpop is for HELP) : Noakii I need you to __________
-BAM, request completed-
As for you Scientin, I could care less if you both planned to donate 40$ to the server,
This just sounds like a stupid guilt trip; and frankly a bribe so your friend can get unbanned.

I apologize if this makes you more p!ssed at me than I already have you at,
I chose to moderate on this server to have fun and lend a helping hand;
and usually my "fun" is considered immature. I can't really help it, and I'd
rather not act like a fake boring robot to act mature ALL the time.
On the note of Convicted having a better player count if we acted more mature,
I could really care less if Convicted had a higher player count than Killion or any other
server, even if that means making more money.
Viper created the server for a place to have fun for the community, not to make a money machine.
The higher player count and higher income would be nice, but I don't think it is everything.
I'm still here just for the community, and I think Viper and the other wardens would say the same.
I'm sorry if my fun crushes yours, I use immaturity to keep me young c:
Convicted still has a very nice and efficient community as of now, so that means
we're not doing everything that wrong. ;p
You can leave Convicted if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to stay on here.
If you like my moderating styles, then thank you. If you don't, that is fine too.

I re-call that we made a deal that if you were to be an "ass" I would punish you.
Half of the time I can't respond if you don't use /helpop or if I'm busy,
if you haven't noticed, global chat is bombarded with people talking left and right.
I'd really like to see you do my part. c; oh and LOL
2
No we do not, sorry.
It ruins the fun of playing on a prison server if you're starting "fresh."
------
Everyone, please know this;
If you are seen doing something jailable; such as having a sword;
killing someone; engaging in pvp:
Fleeing from this via Logging off or Warping away is considered jailable,
please do not complain if you do get jailed because of this.
