2) Your age: 13
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days) Over a year and have been inactive because of school mostly
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes
5) Any experience with the prison genre? Yes
6) What is your time zone? EST U.S. and Canada NOAKII
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I would be the best guard choice because I'm mature, take guarding really seriously, and I am very loyal. I prove my maturity by saying, I will not be doing anything wrong such as breaking the rules. I treat everyone the way they want to be treated and they treat me the same way. I know people in block C hate getting killed by other players, but I hope to stop players by doing that, so everyone can have a happy environment in convicted. I am very trustworthy, both inside and outside convicted, everyone will see me as trustworthy person and a healthy role model. I hope that I'm chosen to become guard.
I would also like to be a guard because I take guarding very seriously. I will be the best I can be even if I'm not doing good at times. I am really polite, say for example someone enters the server I welcome them just to be polite and mature as well. I dislike how people break the rules at times, by hiring me I will enforce the rules so everyone could be happy. I am very responsible for my age. When I was on another server, people my age were very impolite, by letting me join I will be as mature as possible, which means I won't cuss, flame, spam, or verbally abuse other players. I hope to help the guard team and the server as much as possible.
I'm really active on minecraft. This server is also one of the first servers I added when i had to re-download minecraft (long reason). It is one of the best servers I ever played on. I'm really happy to see a lot of people on the server each day! I hope I am a trainee soon!
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? I'm currently A http://imgur.com/CqpKGNb
3) Playing Time: About a year(Started playing a year ago, became inactive for a while and joined back in December)
4) Have you read the rules: Yes, I read and understand them.
5) Experience: Not previously, Convicted was my first prison server that my friend introduced to me a while back
6) Time Zone: Central Time
7) Why are you the best choice for guard: I am the best choice for guard because I try to be fair and honest with others. I do not cheat and will not break any server rules. I will always make sure people are jailed if necessary(for things such as border hopping and not giving items when requested) and try to be on the server as much as possible(usually 2-3 hours on weekends and 10-30 minutes on weekdays). I love to PVP(which is maybe why I get in trouble with guards sometimes) and will protect anyone that is being attacked if they have done nothing wrong. Convicted is one of my favorite servers, and I would greatly appreciate being given the honor of becoming a guard.
Since I have already had alot of experience with this server, I know all the rules and will apply them justly. I know the ins and outs of the prison, so I can come to aid other guards in an instant. If a huge fight is going on in B courtyard, then expect me to be there (and save the day!) I will not provoke any fights or abuse my powers, by doing things such as banking guard kits or jailing unfairly(pulling a chocboii). I will try to be on as often as possible, if I do not have anything I need to take care of.
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline?Yes, I understand how annoying that is.
9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard?
Yes, I have a screenshot prepared. My rank currently is elite.

Hello guys,
As some of you may know, very unlikely, February marks 1 year of which I have been playing on Convicted. In this years, I have achieved and done many things, and have had fun in the process. I have had many phrases attributed to me, the most common being called a 'quitter', due to getting and resigning from guard 3 times. Anyway, history aside, the reason I am making this post is to put
~snippy snip snip~
I like the guard acceptance idea, as many alphas already have alts. I do agree that alphas shouldn't get dirt cheap opples but, they ARE supposed to be the ones to stop riots and such, so they will most likely not be nerfed, and just be glad they can't buy op swords too.

As Lava already stated above I like the idea of a Guard acceptance test. As you mentioned some people do argue that Trainee is a time of learning and gaining experience before a full promotion. But, as a Trainee I made plenty of mistakes, but I learned from them, and never made the same mistakes again from my past experiences.
As for Alphas getting nerfed I partially agree on this. I do agree that they shouldn't get access to super cheap opples. Alphas also get a pretty nice buff with 15 extra hearts, with 25 hearts in total. I think Alphas should get the same buff a normal Guard does, which is 20 total hearts.
To be honest, I completely agree with bluefocus. I recently have been having troubles believing that dsport1018 should be guard. He is calling me out without a tag (which he should know by now,) and is getting very angry at me when I point this out or kill him. That shows immaturity, and guards should be more mature than this. I honestly don't PvP much though, so I can't say much about Alpha Nerf.
IGN:Current rank on the server:Joriwodi and i was B rank Reason you were banned:Warden/Alpha that issued your ban:(N/A if you don't know)Approximate time of ban: I was banned for Xray,idk by who and at AEST
Why you deserve to be unbanned:Because i have moved on from hacking and using hacking clients and i wish to start fresh and earn the trust of you people on convicted again i am sorry for x-raying and i do admit to using it but i have moved on.
Any additional information: Please reconsider my ban.

Hello guys,
As some of you may know, very unlikely, February marks 1 year of which I have been playing on Convicted. In this years, I have achieved and done many things, and have had fun in the process. I have had many phrases attributed to me, the most common being called a 'quitter', due to getting and resigning from guard 3 times. Anyway, history aside, the reason I am making this post is to put forward some suggestions I have wanted to mention for a long time, and tonight I've decided to get around to writing them down. So anyway, here goes nothing.
1) Guard acceptance tests
This is one I've been wanting to say for a long time, but over the past few months, particularly weeks, I have felt that this has become an increasing problem. What I am talking about is the fact that recent trainees have not been up to scratch, abusing, being confused, and not knowing the rules in general. I believe that a guard acceptance test would be a solution to this problem. This would involve a trainee hopeful being put in certain situations after being promoted, by undercover alphas/wardens. This allows us to find out if the newly promoted trainee is up for the job, and has actually spent time reading the guard rules and reacting properly in the situations they are put in. What many people argue is that being trainee is a time to learn, but if anything, the rules should be clearer in trainee minds as they should have spent time reading them before making an app.
2) Alphas nerfed
This is one many disagree on, but from what I have seen, a large number of well known frees agree with me on this. Over the past months, where there have been more alphas who have been promoted, I have felt that PVPing is not as fun as it used to be. The main factor in this is that alphas have access to dirt cheap opples, $1k from what I have heard. This defeats the fun and purpose of PVP, wealth should not be a factor in how easy it is to kill someone. At the moment, the only reason alphas are like tanks and impossible to kill, is because they're rich, some alphas cannot even PVP properly without opples or chaos. In no way am I saying that ALL alphas cannot PVP, some are fantastic. What I am trying to get at here is that alphas should be made to buy PVP equipment, particularly opples for the same price as normal frees, ie; $3.5k. This would make fights fairer, and more fun in general for both sides, actually testing PVP skill instead of being bulldozed by a tank with 90237430897 opples. I know I will get alot of hate from alphas on this, but I believe I am putting forward the view of a large number of players.
Anyway, rant over, I hope this gives an insight to the hierarchy of the server on the opinions and thoughts of frees, particularly on guarding. If anyone reading this agrees with me on these 2 points, please vote up/reply to this post, if you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to say so.
Thanks for reading, bluefocus
Alright so... let me stop you right there....
1. Alphas would not even find the time to actually look over a trainee much less wardens wardens have there own business to do, and alphas im not saying all of you but alot of you are just alpha to be alpha like bomber literally doesn't even care about pvp anymore he just runs around maybe a reg d sword hits u twice before dieing.
2. I do agree on this idea of making alphas weaker, BUT the fact is..... like blue said alot of alphas are actually really bad sda is not that bad (still very powerful and unfair doe) and there is a few more, and I can tell you this right now penguiirocks your comment was horrible "i think alphas should not have 25 hearts but 20 like a guard". Penguii one thing is they clear out just shouldnt have it i mean penguii they already took away str 2 and then now they added hearts and its not just that THEY REGEN ALL THE WAY OFF OF THE 1K OPPLES. Thats just plain cheap and then let me step on the "Unbreaking armor part" that is like what makes me mad the most they should be able to support there own armor its really just not cool how we have to bring 5 sets of armor and they have 64 opples we go through all our armor and they have like 30 left and we take a jail how can we have any advantage if they dont even have breaking armor, sda if you are reading this you may remember back in the day i would fight u and kill u sometimes because u would only have a chest plate left because u forgot to /guard or what ever the command was to get full gear back again.
I can also say no changes will probably happen we are just rambling about it cuz we are sick of it but no changes never actualy happen.
So That is my comment on this thank you for your time.

6) What is your time zone? I live in the U.S in Illinois so that would be the Central time zone

9) What is your current prison rank? My current rank would be Elite
Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? Yes I do
ACTUALLY, The reason we have very little amount of people on @ 3:00pm GMT is because UK are @ or on the way from school, and the US are sleeping. THAT'S why. When it's peak time - we reach about 70 - 90 players.
Lol we have never reached higher than 70 players XD the time it was 120 was bc of server issues everyone was getting their self duped
Username: banished92 (Repost #3) Your Age: 14 (Almost 15 ) Have you read the server, prison, and guard rules: I have read all the rules and I understand it all. That is where I read about how to jail and a max of 30 minutes and notify higher ranks if you find hacker or someone disobeying the server rules. I also found that I'm supposed to put Noakii somewhere in it but i'll put it at the end just to be sure. How long of you been playing on the prison server: I have been playing for about a year but have been ore active for the past two months. Any experience with the prison genre: I have had experience with the prison genre as i have played on different prison servers. I have found out that I like these no-op prison servers with not to many ranks. That is why I find this server very fun and interesting.
What time zone are you in: I am in the EST time zone or called Eastern Time Zone. Why are you the best choice for guard: I think I am the best choice for guard because I play a lot on this server and think that I understand the rules and how to be a guard. Also I likely have more experience with prison servers than most of the others applying. I would never abuse my power if I get this rank and try and help the new people who join and don't wanna be killed in the first second and then quit. I am always welcoming the new people and sometimes helping them like giving them picks and stuff like that. If I get this rank I will make sure everyone is having fun and not disobeying server or prison rules.
I hope you guys like my app because I have though through it and have spent a lot of time working on it. If you need any help with anything else such as testing stuff or just watching certain areas I will do as told. I will play a lot as I do already Do you understand that nagging a warden in game to read your app will result in a immediate decline: I understand that if I annoy a warden in game about my application it will be declined immediately. What is your prison rank, and do you understand that we will require a screenshot when/if your retire:I just took a screenshot of it and I am Free and 30$ donor rank at the moment. NOAKII
1: lordharley 2: 14 3: 1 week 4: Yes, I have read the rules 5: Yes, I have played at least 5 prison servers 6: Eastern 7: I am determined, loyal, and will stick to a role for a long time. 8: I understand it will only get my post denied. 9: Yes, I am currently C block. And I have a screenshot in case of that situation.
So first off, I know I'm only a Guard but I already know that this application is denied for a certain reason. I don't believe you read all the rules because you forgot a specific word, please reread the rules. Also, on question seven, it asks for one to two paragraphs. One sentence is not a paragraph, you need to expand way more. Also, space it out a bit more and add in the actual questions to make it easier for us to read. Thanks!
1) Username: Zipposetteret. However, I am applying for my alt, STRD0. 2) Your age: 14. 3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days >1 year. I was inactive for most of this but in the new year I've been very active. 4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Of course. Since I managed to get from C to Free without being jailed even once, I'd say that's indicative. 5) Any experience with the prison genre? This is my first prison server, but I have been playing for a large amount of time. 6) What is your time zone? GMT -4. 7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I feel myself to be mature enough for the position. I am dependable and I wish to help improve this server. I'm rather good-natured, as a lot of people could tell you, and I enjoy helping people. I practically know the rules by heart. I realize that most newbies are infuriated and ragequit within five minutes of them joining, or decide to murder everyone they see. I am active and I can definitely keep a cool head. I despise people who abuse power, so I won't myself. I'm very observant. I still have things to learn about PvP, but I can get by. My main account is Free, which could show you that I'm fairly dedicated to this server. Noakii is fabulous, and I am also fabulous. I am not always this serious. Most of the sentences in that paragraph started with "I", so I apologize if that made whoever might be reading this think I'm always this strict. Thank you for considering my app and thanks for reading! 8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? Yes. It's annoying and everybody has lives. 9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? Currently, it is C. Yes, I understand. You can't have people cheating you out to attempt to get to a higher rank. I will be taking a screenshot of this presently.
My opinion on Alphas - one must also keep in mind that a delicate balance must be struck when it comes to PvP. Yes, Alphas seem a bit overpowered with having access to super cheap opples, but Frees also have access to so much more. Alphas can't spend all day mining, or doing quests to get experience; they are expected to put much dedication into guarding as well. This means that they really don't have access to the money/resources Frees are capable of tapping into. You can look from either viewpoint - Alphas are overpowered, or Frees are overpowered. Neither side will admit to it, but both are almost equally overpowered. "But builder frees are so underpowered alphas are too op you only side with them because you were one." True I may be a bit biased towards Alphas, but that is because I was one myself - for nearly 15 months. During that time I had experienced problems from the Alpha point of view - a point of view in which Frees can be considered almost equally as overpowered as Alphas, if not more.
"But how are frees overpowered?" Think about it: You guys have no obligations to guarding, as I stated above, and are therefore free to mine for as long as you want, uninterrupted, or to get as many enchants as you want to, never having to return to guarding. But what you must also understand is that Alphas are much more than PvP training dummies - they must also assist in moderating chat, catching and banning hackers, assisting new players in their troubles to the best of their ability, and so much more. To them, guarding is only half of their plate, so their moderating responsibilities, coupled with the dedication they must also pour into with guarding, leaves almost no free time whatsoever to make money, gain experience to enchant, or obtain the Sharp 6+ swords that you guys get from events. I know completing quests, or doing Noakii's events may not be as easy as a walk in the park, but you guys have all the time you need to complete those things (aside from IRL situations, but that is a different matter entirely.
My point is, even though Alphas have free, already-enchanted armor that never breaks, you guys can also have so much more, if you put your minds to it. Another topic we can brush on is that you guys are free to use any armor you can get - Protection 4, Unbreaking 3 (as added to weapons/armor in 1.7), or any other kind of armor you guys get. Alphas are limited to their chainmail armor, which is practically the same as Protection 2 armor. I understand that your armor breaks, but now with Unbreaking being able to be added to armor, your armor may last nearly twice as long as it used to. What does this mean for Alphas? Their opples are now basically half as useful as they used to be, since fights can drag on for so much longer than they used to. If you also go the extra mile, you can bring another set of enchanted armor, quadrupling the length a fight would once have lasted.
Opples shouldn't be too terribly horrible of a problem for Frees either - you have unlimited time to mine, so while you're getting tons of BP from mining, you're also creating your own opples by saving your gold. Then, you may use that newly-found BP to buy opples for 3.5k a pop (as blue said they were). With the inflation in the economy, that pricetag shouldn't be much of a problem at all - I remember mining in the Clay Mine once for about an hour and making over 100k BP. Then you have Alphas who basically can't do much to support themselves financially-speaking due to having tons of things to do, not leaving a whole lot of room for making money. You guys have more of an advantage when it comes to this; sure Alphas may have cheaper opples, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult for you guys to get opples just as easily. It only takes time on you guys' part to get just as many, if not more opples than an Alpha may be carrying on them. Alphas must also attempt to limit the amount of opples they carry with them, for if they were to carry 16 stacks on them (assuming if they were even able to afford that many), and they were to slip up once, and die, the price of opples would deflate even further, due to there being an overly increased supply as opposed to a critically low demand due to everyone having several stacks, thereby ruining the opple economy even further than it already has been.
One must also take into consideration the sneak attack and Strength (or Chaos, which provides even more of an advantage to the Free) combination. Guards as a whole are not allowed to strike first, as stated in the Guard Rules. This is what I call the Sneak Attack method - where a Free sneaks up behind a Guard and chops them down before they have time to respond. It's not as impossible as it might sound; Strength increases your attack power be a lot. To demonstrate this point, I was messing around with SDA in the C Foyer yesterday. Keep in mind, he is a Chaos user and therefore has permanent Strength. I changed to Survival, and punched him. When he attacked me with his Sharpness 4 Knockback 2 Fire Aspect 2 diamond sword, I instantly died. Yes I was unarmored, but a one-hit knockout from a Sharp 4 is a bit unhealthy. When you have a Sharp 6 from one of Noakii's events combined with Strength, and adding in the Sneak Attack factor, you pretty much have nearly-instant kills for any guard - Trainee, Guard, or Alpha. The reason they have the guard buff (the extra hearts) is to neutralize the Sneak Attack method.
And my last point, one of the longest-standing of Convicted history, is a Free being allowed the option of taking a jail. (This is basically the easy way out of any Guard fight). When a Free takes a jail, their armor may have been utterly destroyed, but they are allowed to keep their sword, which is something a Guard cannot do. So not only do Alphas have to work for their swords since a lot of Frees (not all, but most) tend to take a jail, but they also have a chance to lose their sword - a chance which is almost nonexistent to any Free due to the option of being allowed to take a jail.
I'm sorry that this was an extremely long and probably boring post, but I thank those that have read this far. Hopefully someday this argument of Alphas vs. Frees may finally come to an end.
One last thing, taking a look at the posts I've missed while typing this monster, we did reach 100 players the day before my promotion Fearless. (February 8th). Our new voting website (bit.ly/bainsvoting) may not record exactly 100 players since it does not continuously check for server population, but it will definitely show way more than 70 players online.
IGN, Current ranks: Ethonias_III, AReason for ban and player who banned: It says I xrayed and Cinnamon banned meBanned time: 10:50 eastern time I deserve to be unbanned becuase i don't xray. I hate people who do and it takes the fun out of minecraft. I would like to be unbanned becuase i dont hack and i enjoy the server a lot.I was strip mining and i came across maybe 9 diamonds after 20 minutes. This is a reasonable ammount i think below normal if anything. I think my ban was extremely unfair.

5) Any experience with the prison genre? Yes
6) What is your time zone? EST U.S. and Canada NOAKII
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I would be the best guard choice because I'm mature, take guarding really seriously, and I am very loyal. I prove my maturity by saying, I will not be doing anything wrong such as breaking the rules. I treat everyone the way they want to be treated and they treat me the same way. I know people in block C hate getting killed by other players, but I hope to stop players by doing that, so everyone can have a happy environment in convicted. I am very trustworthy, both inside and outside convicted, everyone will see me as trustworthy person and a healthy role model. I hope that I'm chosen to become guard.
I would also like to be a guard because I take guarding very seriously. I will be the best I can be even if I'm not doing good at times. I am really polite, say for example someone enters the server I welcome them just to be polite and mature as well. I dislike how people break the rules at times, by hiring me I will enforce the rules so everyone could be happy. I am very responsible for my age. When I was on another server, people my age were very impolite, by letting me join I will be as mature as possible, which means I won't cuss, flame, spam, or verbally abuse other players. I hope to help the guard team and the server as much as possible.
I'm really active on minecraft. This server is also one of the first servers I added when i had to re-download minecraft (long reason). It is one of the best servers I ever played on. I'm really happy to see a lot of people on the server each day! I hope I am a trainee soon!

6) Time Zone: Central Time
7) Why are you the best choice for guard: I am the best choice for guard because I try to be fair and honest with others. I do not cheat and will not break any server rules. I will always make sure people are jailed if necessary(for things such as border hopping and not giving items when requested) and try to be on the server as much as possible(usually 2-3 hours on weekends and 10-30 minutes on weekdays). I love to PVP(which is maybe why I get in trouble with guards sometimes) and will protect anyone that is being attacked if they have done nothing wrong. Convicted is one of my favorite servers, and I would greatly appreciate being given the honor of becoming a guard.
Since I have already had alot of experience with this server, I know all the rules and will apply them justly. I know the ins and outs of the prison, so I can come to aid other guards in an instant. If a huge fight is going on in B courtyard, then expect me to be there (
and save the day!) I will not provoke any fights or abuse my powers, by doing things such as banking guard kits or jailing unfairly(pulling a chocboii). I will try to be on as often as possible, if I do not have anything I need to take care of.8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline?Yes, I understand how annoying that is.
9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard?
Yes, I have a screenshot prepared. My rank currently is elite.

Former AlphaGuard on MC-Convicted.org
As Lava already stated above I like the idea of a Guard acceptance test. As you mentioned some people do argue that Trainee is a time of learning and gaining experience before a full promotion. But, as a Trainee I made plenty of mistakes, but I learned from them, and never made the same mistakes again from my past experiences.
As for Alphas getting nerfed I partially agree on this. I do agree that they shouldn't get access to super cheap opples. Alphas also get a pretty nice buff with 15 extra hearts, with 25 hearts in total. I think Alphas should get the same buff a normal Guard does, which is 20 total hearts.
OT: February is my one year anniversary too.
To be honest, I completely agree with bluefocus. I recently have been having troubles believing that dsport1018 should be guard. He is calling me out without a tag (which he should know by now,) and is getting very angry at me when I point this out or kill him. That shows immaturity, and guards should be more mature than this. I honestly don't PvP much though, so I can't say much about Alpha Nerf.
I always knew she wanted the eye
Reason you were banned:Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: (N/A if you don't know)Approximate time of ban: I was banned for Xray,idk by who and at AEST
Why you deserve to be unbanned:Because i have moved on from hacking and using hacking clients and i wish to start fresh and earn the trust of you people on convicted again i am sorry for x-raying and i do admit to using it but i have moved on.
Any additional information: Please reconsider my ban.

1. Alphas would not even find the time to actually look over a trainee much less wardens wardens have there own business to do, and alphas im not saying all of you but alot of you are just alpha to be alpha like bomber literally doesn't even care about pvp anymore he just runs around maybe a reg d sword hits u twice before dieing.
2. I do agree on this idea of making alphas weaker, BUT the fact is..... like blue said alot of alphas are actually really bad sda is not that bad (still very powerful and unfair doe) and there is a few more, and I can tell you this right now penguiirocks your comment was horrible "i think alphas should not have 25 hearts but 20 like a guard". Penguii one thing is they clear out just shouldnt have it i mean penguii they already took away str 2 and then now they added hearts and its not just that THEY REGEN ALL THE WAY OFF OF THE 1K OPPLES. Thats just plain cheap and then let me step on the "Unbreaking armor part" that is like what makes me mad the most they should be able to support there own armor its really just not cool how we have to bring 5 sets of armor and they have 64 opples we go through all our armor and they have like 30 left and we take a jail how can we have any advantage if they dont even have breaking armor, sda if you are reading this you may remember back in the day i would fight u and kill u sometimes because u would only have a chest plate left because u forgot to /guard or what ever the command was to get full gear back again.
I can also say no changes will probably happen we are just rambling about it cuz we are sick of it but no changes never actualy happen.
So That is my comment on this thank you for your time.

people even if i am not a guard.I want to help everyone make their convicted experience better.
I know all the rules and ill read over them hundreds of times. I wont be ignoring anyone, i will
always try to msg them back and if i come to bad situations ill just make a formus post
or just tell a Warden. I know abusing will get me demoted so i will try my best to do nothing abusive
I wont be mean to other players and will always be helpful to everyone.
Do you understand nagging warden about your gaurd app is an auto decline- yes and i will make
sure i say nothing to Wardens about my guard app.
What is your current rank- [Free] / you wont need a screenshot im on almost every day.
2) Your age:14 years old
3) How long have you been playing the server? I have been on the server more than 5 months. (Minimum of 3 days)
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Yes I have read them when I first joined, and I always look if they have changed
5) Any experience with the prison genre? A little I used to be a Guard up on another server but it had fell so now I have joined this one
6) What is your time zone? I live in the U.S in Illinois so that would be the Central time zone
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? I am the best for guard here at Convicted because I have had some experience being a guard on another server. I also am a mature person so I will follow the rules and enforce them. I will as well treat all players fairly. I will also be able to get on every day right after school. I also love to be apart of role playing games such as Arma 2 and Arma 3, but now I have come onto minecraft to be apart of these role playing games. Finally I will be planning on to be studying criminal justice once I get into colledge. (1-2 paragraphs)
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? Yes I understand and I Promise that I shall not nag anyone to read this application
9) What is your current prison rank? My current rank would be Elite
Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? Yes I do
Lol we have never reached higher than 70 players XD the time it was 120 was bc of server issues everyone was getting their self duped
Your Age: 14 (Almost 15
Have you read the server, prison, and guard rules: I have read all the rules and I understand it all. That is where I read about how to jail and a max of 30 minutes and notify higher ranks if you find hacker or someone disobeying the server rules. I also found that I'm supposed to put Noakii somewhere in it but i'll put it at the end just to be sure.
How long of you been playing on the prison server: I have been playing for about a year but have been ore active for the past two months.
Any experience with the prison genre: I have had experience with the prison genre as i have played on different prison servers. I have found out that I like these no-op prison servers with not to many ranks. That is why I find this server very fun and interesting.
What time zone are you in: I am in the EST time zone or called Eastern Time Zone.
Why are you the best choice for guard: I think I am the best choice for guard because I play a lot on this server and think that I understand the rules and how to be a guard. Also I likely have more experience with prison servers than most of the others applying. I would never abuse my power if I get this rank and try and help the new people who join and don't wanna be killed in the first second and then quit. I am always welcoming the new people and sometimes helping them like giving them picks and stuff like that. If I get this rank I will make sure everyone is having fun and not disobeying server or prison rules.
I hope you guys like my app because I have though through it and have spent a lot of time working on it. If you need any help with anything else such as testing stuff or just watching certain areas I will do as told. I will play a lot as I do already
Do you understand that nagging a warden in game to read your app will result in a immediate decline: I understand that if I annoy a warden in game about my application it will be declined immediately.
What is your prison rank, and do you understand that we will require a screenshot when/if your retire: I just took a screenshot of it and I am Free and 30$ donor rank at the moment.

So first off, I know I'm only a Guard but I already know that this application is denied for a certain reason. I don't believe you read all the rules because you forgot a specific word, please reread the rules. Also, on question seven, it asks for one to two paragraphs. One sentence is not a paragraph, you need to expand way more. Also, space it out a bit more and add in the actual questions to make it easier for us to read. Thanks!
1) Username: Zipposetteret. However, I am applying for my alt, STRD0.2) Your age: 14.
3) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days >1 year. I was inactive for most of this but in the new year I've been very active.
4) Have you read the Server, Prison, and Guard Rules? Of course. Since I managed to get from C to Free without being jailed even once, I'd say that's indicative.
5) Any experience with the prison genre? This is my first prison server, but I have been playing for a large amount of time.
6) What is your time zone? GMT -4.
7) Why are you the best choice for guard? (1-2 paragraphs) I feel myself to be mature enough for the position. I am dependable and I wish to help improve this server. I'm rather good-natured, as a lot of people could tell you, and I enjoy helping people. I practically know the rules by heart. I realize that most newbies are infuriated and ragequit within five minutes of them joining, or decide to murder everyone they see. I am active and I can definitely keep a cool head. I despise people who abuse power, so I won't myself. I'm very observant. I still have things to learn about PvP, but I can get by. My main account is Free, which could show you that I'm fairly dedicated to this server.
Noakii is fabulous, and I am also fabulous. I am not always this serious. Most of the sentences in that paragraph started with "I", so I apologize if that made whoever might be reading this think I'm always this strict. Thank you for considering my app and thanks for reading!
8) Do you understand that nagging Wardens in-game to read your app will result in immediate decline? Yes. It's annoying and everybody has lives.
9) What is your current prison rank? Do you understand that we will require a screenshot of this when/if you retire from guard? Currently, it is C. Yes, I understand. You can't have people cheating you out to attempt to get to a higher rank. I will be taking a screenshot of this presently.
Withdrew application.
"But how are frees overpowered?" Think about it: You guys have no obligations to guarding, as I stated above, and are therefore free to mine for as long as you want, uninterrupted, or to get as many enchants as you want to, never having to return to guarding. But what you must also understand is that Alphas are much more than PvP training dummies - they must also assist in moderating chat, catching and banning hackers, assisting new players in their troubles to the best of their ability, and so much more. To them, guarding is only half of their plate, so their moderating responsibilities, coupled with the dedication they must also pour into with guarding, leaves almost no free time whatsoever to make money, gain experience to enchant, or obtain the Sharp 6+ swords that you guys get from events. I know completing quests, or doing Noakii's events may not be as easy as a walk in the park, but you guys have all the time you need to complete those things (aside from IRL situations, but that is a different matter entirely.
My point is, even though Alphas have free, already-enchanted armor that never breaks, you guys can also have so much more, if you put your minds to it. Another topic we can brush on is that you guys are free to use any armor you can get - Protection 4, Unbreaking 3 (as added to weapons/armor in 1.7), or any other kind of armor you guys get. Alphas are limited to their chainmail armor, which is practically the same as Protection 2 armor. I understand that your armor breaks, but now with Unbreaking being able to be added to armor, your armor may last nearly twice as long as it used to. What does this mean for Alphas? Their opples are now basically half as useful as they used to be, since fights can drag on for so much longer than they used to. If you also go the extra mile, you can bring another set of enchanted armor, quadrupling the length a fight would once have lasted.
Opples shouldn't be too terribly horrible of a problem for Frees either - you have unlimited time to mine, so while you're getting tons of BP from mining, you're also creating your own opples by saving your gold. Then, you may use that newly-found BP to buy opples for 3.5k a pop (as blue said they were). With the inflation in the economy, that pricetag shouldn't be much of a problem at all - I remember mining in the Clay Mine once for about an hour and making over 100k BP. Then you have Alphas who basically can't do much to support themselves financially-speaking due to having tons of things to do, not leaving a whole lot of room for making money. You guys have more of an advantage when it comes to this; sure Alphas may have cheaper opples, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult for you guys to get opples just as easily. It only takes time on you guys' part to get just as many, if not more opples than an Alpha may be carrying on them. Alphas must also attempt to limit the amount of opples they carry with them, for if they were to carry 16 stacks on them (assuming if they were even able to afford that many), and they were to slip up once, and die, the price of opples would deflate even further, due to there being an overly increased supply as opposed to a critically low demand due to everyone having several stacks, thereby ruining the opple economy even further than it already has been.
One must also take into consideration the sneak attack and Strength (or Chaos, which provides even more of an advantage to the Free) combination. Guards as a whole are not allowed to strike first, as stated in the Guard Rules. This is what I call the Sneak Attack method - where a Free sneaks up behind a Guard and chops them down before they have time to respond. It's not as impossible as it might sound; Strength increases your attack power be a lot. To demonstrate this point, I was messing around with SDA in the C Foyer yesterday. Keep in mind, he is a Chaos user and therefore has permanent Strength. I changed to Survival, and punched him. When he attacked me with his Sharpness 4 Knockback 2 Fire Aspect 2 diamond sword, I instantly died. Yes I was unarmored, but a one-hit knockout from a Sharp 4 is a bit unhealthy. When you have a Sharp 6 from one of Noakii's events combined with Strength, and adding in the Sneak Attack factor, you pretty much have nearly-instant kills for any guard - Trainee, Guard, or Alpha. The reason they have the guard buff (the extra hearts) is to neutralize the Sneak Attack method.
And my last point, one of the longest-standing of Convicted history, is a Free being allowed the option of taking a jail. (This is basically the easy way out of any Guard fight). When a Free takes a jail, their armor may have been utterly destroyed, but they are allowed to keep their sword, which is something a Guard cannot do. So not only do Alphas have to work for their swords since a lot of Frees (not all, but most) tend to take a jail, but they also have a chance to lose their sword - a chance which is almost nonexistent to any Free due to the option of being allowed to take a jail.
I'm sorry that this was an extremely long and probably boring post, but I thank those that have read this far. Hopefully someday this argument of Alphas vs. Frees may finally come to an end.
One last thing, taking a look at the posts I've missed while typing this monster, we did reach 100 players the day before my promotion Fearless. (February 8th). Our new voting website (bit.ly/bainsvoting) may not record exactly 100 players since it does not continuously check for server population, but it will definitely show way more than 70 players online.
