1) Username: Erthskoven

2) Your age: 15

3) How long have you been playing the server? 4 days

4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes I have read all of them.

5) Any experience with the prison genre? I have played on a few others, but this would be the first one that I would be guard on.

6) What is your time zone? Mtn.

7) Why are you the best choice for guard? I think I would be the best choice for guard because I am good at PvP, I hate scumbags that kill for no reason, and I enjoy the time I have on the server. I have invited many people to join because of the great guards and the great gameplay. I will take all items that prisoners cannot hold, and I will never hold grudges/get back at anybody. I would be honored to be one of the very few to be chosen to help make this server #1 on the server list. I have teamspeak with a mic if there are any issues, and I want to protect all that who wants to have fun.

8) What is your current rank? Do you understand that we will require PROOF of your rank when/if you retire from guard? I am still in the C-Block, but I am working with a few of my friends to become B-Block prisoners.

THANKS FOR READING! (I hope you are Noakii)

Well that escalated quickly.

Is it bad that I'm using Convicted to get my post count up?

Just kidding... for the most part. Augh, I hate that we have school until Midyear Break D:

So till then, I won't be on as much as I was last week. I'll probs manage 2-4 hours per day, unlike the 6-10 I did when I had no school... xD

I don't know whats going on but about 3 hours ago i logged on to convicted, and i was dead, and i was in the B block fishing area, where pvp was diabled. I dont know if it was some kind of hacker, or glitch, but if i could get my stuff back i would appreiciate it.

Why Killion gets more people...

Now, before I start this article let me preface is with this, I do not like killion, but I am not stupid. Its not hard to see the differences between Convicted and Killion. Everyone knows Killion gets a lot more players, of course some of them are from its parent server which probably advertises it there. But there is one main reason, its run at least one hundred times better. The comparison of quality between killion staff management and convicted staff management is Google and some run down family business.

Convicted is like a corrupt government, nothing is professional. I know for a fact if convicted were to become better, the staff wasnt so cruel, and the Moderators werent allowed to do as they please as long as the admins like them then Convicted would go from 5 - 100 people per day to maybe 10 - 200 or even 30 - 300+. But sadly, I cant see that happening if it keeps on going like this. An example of how stupid the way convicted runs is is this, Yesterday I was talking to noakii, no arguing, no offensive language, just Normal talking. Benjaminsaunders decided to come in to the conversation with no intention but to bash and insult me. I will quote my self with what I told benji, "You input is not needed." You can agree that is not mean, its not attacking benji, I simply said I dont need his input. But guess how he reacted to this? He muted me for a Whole 24 hours, for what? Because he doesnt like me, and this isnt the first time I have been muted just because the alpha got angry at me. Moderators (alpha's) shouldn't be babies, benji became angry at me for no reason, and abused his power in a childish way. I don't care how much you like benji, you can not say that he was mature or acting right in this situation. And the worst part is, Noakii was on and didn't care. How can an admin just let something like this pass? If that was me on the server I admin on I would have demoted Benji on the spot regardless of how much I like him.

If Viper wants the server to grow which in turn, gives him significantly more money the sever is going to have to become alot more professional. Something like that should not pass as normal, it was abuse. I didnt spam, cuss, rage, or anything. It was only because benji dislikes me and became angry for no reason like a kid. If the staff wasnt immune and allowed to do what ever when they please (like every high end MC server) convicted would grow, players wouldnt quit everyday before playing for a few hours because they were completely ignored by an admin or abused in some way. This is not just me writing an angry post because I was muted by benji, its something that has been on my mind for quite some time. I want to say that I "love" the server but the way ive been treated really plsses me off. I can not say that "you can not do that to me" but I can say that if Convicted continues to be a corrupt system, it will not grow. That is a fact, all these servers, Killion, MCPVP, (etc) are all run like a business. They are run by extremely smart individuals, Im not saying Viper is not smart, he is smart for making Convicted what it is but it can be so much better. I know some one is going to say that the server would not be as fun as it would be if it were treated like a "business" but these servers bring in 1000's of dollars per month in donations while retaining a fun server for thousands of people.

Like ive stated above, I dislike killion but I can not say its run bad. This is not meant to bash Convicted to the ground, this is simply my input and something I would love to see happen. Sorry if Ive offended anyone or anything on those lines. I really appreciate you reading this. Bye.

It's true that Convicted has some childish and immature staff but you have to learn to deal with it. Like I did
"You Gunna Learn Today!"

Ok gorea I agree that the staff here has its immature moments. Some more than other we all know who I'm talking about (pedo bear). But I have started to understand that the server is still fun when these moments happen. I think we are just going to have to live with them. There is no changing what has already happened.

So you finally did a Guard app.. and it was looking enough good to be readed so:

Few things:
I tbh. am 99% sure that Guards really don't have /kit food command... the command might exist, but just not for the Guards. The Trainees are only one who needs food and most of our Trainees has been enough experienced to live with that. Once someone is promoted to Guard, you don't need food anymore. I like how you have used time to train basics of C-Guarding, thats kinda unic wau to prepair for whats coming, good job. Then about your history of bans, it's not really motivational to promote someone be Guard, if you have ban history but... like you say, that was just stupid for you. It was only 3 day for a reason and It was fair warning to you. Also having some issues with servers CO-Owner doesen't get much applause either, but if you choose that line in future too, I just make this simple: You will lose.

Even your Guard app were good, by how it looks and how it's write, I think you have possibilities to be promoted, but your ban and conflict history makes this kinda 50/50 or 40/60 or 60/40 etc. I'm not sure either... But.. I still will throw my name to hat and support you.

Happens what, hope you have good gaming experience in future too!

Were those leaves always up there...

Just want to put my side on the table;

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.

Can someone please do something with this spammer?

Honestly, I don't like a server that has 100 players on like all the time, it gets quite annoying. Convicted has a good amount of players each day, good amount.

Repost as it has been over 10 pages and 3 days.
I find it amazing the number of recommendations I have gotten. Thank you to all who support me! Still none by an Alpha though

1) Username: zeldafan128, formerly beavie1
2) Your age: 14 (15 on March 15 if you guys care)
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days) Since guards had iron, AOK was a warden, Duel was an Alpha, and porkchops were standard guard issue. Oh, and I remember the time when the shops had floating blocks that glitched one day and gave out free stuff. So somewhere around 1.8.1 Beta at latest. I used the account beavie1 before this one, which is now in use by one of my friends that I have recruited for the server. I play so often that I have probably been on for easily 72 hours of play time.
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes sir, multiple times. Or at least the ones posted on the front page of this thread. Noakii
5) Any experience with the prison genre? Well, I have played on this server for 6 months on this account, and since around 1.8.1 Beta on beavie1. I have also played on Killion for somewhere around a whole 7 hours.
6) What is your time zone? EST
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? Well, for starters, I have helped some new Cs get to a starting point by doing things like giving them a diamond pick, diamond axe, iron armor, 1,000 BP for a chest, and/or simply giving them the drops from people I kill. I also welcome new arrivals in chat.
I have recruited people to play on the server, one of which is in A-Block.
I am a very strong PVPer, and I frequent designated PVP servers like MC-CTF. On MC-CTF, my sniping skills have revolutionized the gameplay on the server I usually play on. I have made sniping points out of parts of the maps no one else has really considered. I also average 8.5 kills every game, and have had a game with 69 kills, along with a 25 kill streak. I do realize that open-field sniping is very different from sniping and PVP in general inside a small space. However, some aspects, such as accuracy, carry over. I have been able to pick off ArticRivial from C-Block Shop while he was standing near C-Bank, with about 5 people moving around him constantly. I can also provide sufficient skills in hand-to hand/sword-to-sword combat. On MC-CTF, I can easilly kill people that have an iron sword and armor with a stone sword and chain armor. The reason I don't PVP guards or large fights much is because I actually have some sort of problem (I'm just taking a guess here. It doesn't have a name or confirmation, unless this is considered Asperger's Syndrome) that makes it so when I work for something, I get very upset when I loose it, so I am careful what I do with it. This is not a problem in MC-CTF because it is given to you, so my preformance as guard would be more like on there as you are given a set of chain armor and a diamond sword for free, if I am not mistaken.
I also help patrol the halls as a free when guard traffic is low. Although I do fully admit to killing people for no reason at all as most frees do, I also enforce rules such as killing people with contraband or who are fighting. I have broken up multiple low-profile fights in the past that guards standardly attend to on a minutely basis these days. While I do kill people who hit me and run into non-PVP as there is no rule preventing a free from doing so if a guard doesn't see, I understand that payback kills are not allowed as guard and I will adjust accordingly.
I am on the server frequently and enjoy it very much. This is really the only server I have played on long-term aside from my own and MC-CTF, and I'm playing on both of those less these days. As such, I play on here with most of my free time, which translates to almost all day Saturday and Sunday when I don't have homework, and whatever unmonitored free period I have at school. I am also a constant voter for this server, and would be a $40 donor if I could be. no PayPal.
I think that the sheer number of times I have reposted this application hoping to get an Alpha recommendation shows a lot in itself, such as in dedication.
Lastly, although somewhat minor, I have a PC that can handle the server at a very playable frame rate in C-Block. While this may be common among longtime players of the server, it is never good when a guard is faced with a computer that can't do 10 FPS. For comparison, it is an i7 Quad-Core @3.3 GHtz overclocked, 16 GB of RAM @1600 MHtz, and a Geforce 650M with 2 GB of memory. This translates to 100+ FPS on a server hosted on the same computer, with max quality video settings.
8) What is your current rank? Do you understand that we will require PROOF of your rank when/if you retire from guard? I am a Free. I have many friends that would be able to verify this. I can also take screenshots if neccesary.

JoshMiner1000 threatened to get me banned, claiming he "knows the owner", after I killed him and stole nothing but a single diamond sword. He then proceeded to insult me, calling me a '14 year old girl' and acting like apparently minecraft is a waste of time. He went on, then, to spam Netbloe and I in /msg . I got three screenshots.

Quote from Dachimp101

Zelda, your app doesnt really give us any reason to promote you to guard its sorta bragging about you playing on other servers stating rules and computer specs =[

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to improve it.

Ok i give up because im tired of lying. Builder i give cudos to you for rejecting me over and over again.
IGN: Tonalcookie847
Current rank on server: A
Reason banned: I was caught xraying on my friends computer that happens to have xray.
Alpha/Warden that issued ban: Builder
Time of ban Febuary 23 UTC-5
Why i should be unbanned: I dont even care anymore im ashamed of my self and cant stand lying. Also I sorry for liying and what i did. My friend has nodus and i thought it wouldnt hurt to try once to mine like 10 or 15 diamonds i mean i have heard guards say" i use nodus in the guard mine" so i thought you know that nobody would notice. The first time and the last time i ever used nodus on this server i got caught. Builder im sorry for lying multiple times and all i ask is forgiveness. i am usually an honest person and wouldnt download xray for 2 reasons. 1. My computer would be really laggy. 2. my friend talked me into it and somehow it took him 5 hours by mining and he got to elite then he got caught. he was like oh it wouldnt hurt to try it for like 5 minutes but like i said i got caught.All i wanted to do on this server was to be a guard because i like helping people like osiak he gave me 2 diamond pickaxes that were enchanted fully and i thought. im going to be like him and be a guard on this server. alas i shouldnt have listened to my friend and again im sorry. My plan was to get to free first then get guard so i thought it would speed up the process by mining like 10 diamonds. So i shouldve told youi from the start and tried to tell the truth but i got so nervous that i cracked.
Additional info: Like i said i dont care if i get back on to the server but if not i might try my luck at killzone or what ever the name is and again like i said before this server deserves 10 out of 10 diamonds

1) Username: Randoman200

2) Your age: 16

3) How long have you been playing the server?: 1 Year and 3 months

4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules?
Yes I have
5) Any experience with the prison genre?
I have, I have been guard here before.
6) What is your time zone?
American EST
7) Why are you the best choice for guard?
I think I am a good choice for guard because I have been on this server for quite a while and I feel that I learned the rules and can enforce them with out issues. I also am good at PvP and i will try to help out the everyone. The reasoning I would like to join guard is that I am getting quite bored of Free life all I do now of days is just run around doing nothing but talking to people. I just want a change of view. The reason why I quit guard last time is because of I didnt have an alt so i could not participate in any events most of the time but its gotten alot better and I feel I do not need a alt this time. I hope you consider me being a guard. Thank you for your time
8) What is your current rank? Do you understand that we will require PROOF of your rank when/if you retire from guard? I am Currently Free
Hello Viper, PianoJazz, Counker, Dusty and Noakii

I never said you have to trust me i just wanted forgiveness and i said that my firend only had it and like i said before im sorry
