Just make an application to help with the server or something. There are lots of people on the forums who are super anxious for the server to be up again and would probably put in a lot of hours of work. It doesn't have to be a lot; even two or three people could make a big difference if they put in the effort. If what Redrum said is true, and people aren't on the server that often, a couple extra, motivated people would be the help you guys need to get the server up and running.
i agree will alex. Long story short i dont want this to happen to another non op server will so many good people like it had done will Mumau's prison server RIP . I am willing to help with anything. Email me [email protected]. If not i will be waiting for you guys to come online again. Good luck i hope it all works out.
I still hold my opinion that heavily-involved players from the community should've been brought in to help, even if they weren't "Upper staff" (Staff Racists!)
Suggestions should ALWAYS be considered suggestions, not cut and dry, I've seen plenty of suggestions get shut down simply because the group didn't like one part of it, if someone suggests something, and part of it's bad but part of it's good, don't shut down the entire thing, keep the good part. (This may already be in effect, but I've seen it happen before, so this is a warning)
That's my piece, for now at least, and I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Time golds the memories, that's why when generation is changing "My opinion of the alphas, is that they are the worst bunch we've had over the past almost 4 years, and Viper agrees with me on that." is typical reaction to it. But maybe it is worst bunch? I sure know for fact that past 4 years Alphas was not charge of everything on the server, we had Admins before. I don't even get paid or any reward wasting my time with "worst bunch" but then again this group is something I love and something where I belong, until I'm fired for my duties, because I'm more beautiful than other ugly staff-members.
But I know... there's always something to nag about. Truth to be told, Convicted will not be the same place than past 4 years. Nothing can last forever because people move on. "Minecraft" is not the thing for everyone. 4 years is long time to play with pixel legos in same server.
Well, like it or not, Convicted will open as it is what Viper wants and Staff have done work for it... Sadly I know that some staff-members thinks that everything will be handed them as golden plate when others are actually trying and working and co-operate with others. We, as everyone else, have a clock. This clock says "Do this, do that, go there, go here and now it's time to sleep". But humanity is what it is. People are different, some people will always do so much more than the others. Some people are too busy with other things. Some people just don't care. Some people are just WAITING THE ****ING SERVER TO BE OPEN, RAAAAAAAAARH, MY SUMMER IS RUINED. THERE IS GOD DAM YELLOW BALL IN SKY OUTSIDE AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE. Wait... what? (:
Alphas, the RPG Rank in Convicted, known as "worst bunch" what by some reason became "Project Leaders", are now pushing the last things together. Our Dev-team is working for our plugins and also making everything ready to server that it can be hosted again. You people know well our Wardens, as you know... SDAngel is working for us and builder is around too. I think you don't take this as "Suprice" don't you...?
Anyway, there were questions about helping the server. If someone wants to share their time to help us, just contact any Wardens and tell your interest. Yes, Warden(s). You can contact SDAngel or Builder. There are more than one! We do already have small team outside of "Staff" helping us building the server. All major builds are already done, but there is always some essentials what can be done for the server sooner or later. None of these actually speeds or slows down the schedule for opening the server, because right now it's more in developing progress and discussions how we want people to play Convicted. What are the rules, what are the possibilities, what are the limits etc etc. you guys know the drill. After that and with few magic words, server is once again open.

So essentially the extra time is b/c most of the staff building is working slowly. Im going to be honest and agree that people have lives, responsibilities, and the lack of tangible reward presented kinda sucks. But this is something you agreed too. From my own experience, a plan (super tiny scale version or drawing for structure / layout), person in charge, 1 - 3 skilled builders, and world edit could have an entire block done (besides tiny details which could be all finalized later) in a day.
So this entire server could be erected in lets say 1.5 weeks if everyone worked there *butts* off. But like Shan said, that isnt the case. A small payroll was actually something I had planned for my prison server which I never got around to finishing. So a Bi-weekly pay for alpha guards and Admins / Devs (3 - 10 dollars every 2 weeks depending on your ranks). A similliar concept could be applied to the building process.
Spend 30 minutes (will probably take less) making a bulletin board with every task that needs to be done (examples: Donater block structure, signs in (x) area, regions, etc, etc) and assign a physical dollar value to each one. Could be anything from 50 cents to 5 dollars depending on the workload. This will of course require a 20 - 50 dollar investment out of Vipers pocket (which in reality is literally nothing, unless youre a broke child, which Viper isnt). But it will add a fun aspect for the builders, actually make them want to work and get the bigger (high paying) jobs done. And speed up the process of completion.
idk, just more ideas. Im not even sure if Ill be unbanned once its done, but I dont mind helping. A couple minutes out of my time to help anything business related is never a problem.

If this was the case why the hell didnt you guys advertise this! There was no type of footnote of this. When you guys 1st closed convicted I talked to Rum on steam and just asking how was the progress going I was IMMEDIATELY told that everything was top secret only upper staff is allowed. So I am calling MAJOR BS on that, when Josh called you the "worst bunch" I am sure it was a over-generalization and I have no doubt some you guys are working hard while others are but do not try to feed me BS in your attempt of damage control!
Part of the reason why we are working slowly is bevause of Viper. I honsetly don't mean to be rude or put pressure on him but he rarely talks in Staff Chat and works on the server hardly ever. We have been trying to make a desicion about donor for 2-3 months but Viper is never there to approve a message or final idea, same goes for prestige. We have been trying to finish up minor projects but we need the final approval from Viper. We want to finish up the forums we have been working on for around 2 months now but we need some approval from Viper!
All buildings projects are done, the server is completely done being revamped. All new plug-ins and new content from our developers have been finished. Forums are very close to being completely finished. All we need is to finish up regions, cell signs, shop signs, and add warps which we can't do without Hexa, Viper, and George. (Yes I realize you guys have been asking for this information for a long time now, Josh already spilled some information so I figured why not give them the general idea on progress.)
As Shan stated, we do have around 2-3 people outside of upper-staff who have helped revamp the prison and are in Staff Chat helping to generate ideas and finish up the server. They are helping tremendously.
Every day we are making progress, and any day now we could re-open. We have already discussed possibly opening Guard/ChatMod (Surprise! Not final yet though) applications 2-3 days before the server re-opens so keep an eye out for that possibly. None of this is final though and could change, that goes for most of the information we have released since February. Also, might I remind you that we were planning to re-open the server around this period of time so we have every right to open when we are fully ready.
Here's an idea for you. Revolutionary, groundbreaking idea.
Open it now, even with stuff undone. People will be happy just to walk into CBlock and only get so much. Besides, hypes more alive when you see people actually making progress. To see that WIP sign and wonder, hey wtf is that, would benefit you guys.
Think of it as a beta. A public beta. Feel free to close it for maintenance, every couple days open it, let us see, if the community backlashes it will give you guys time before having it all set and done to modify it with human resources 2 cents.

By reading all of the latest posts I have come to the conclusion that convicted needs one thing and one thing only. Convicted needs some leadership. Someone just needs to step up and take control of the server. I think that if someone started making decisions and started to push for some more progress the server could be done in a few days.(from what penguii was saying anyways) I don't quite understand why it is so difficult for you people to do regions or signs or whatever(don't have permissions or the knowledge??). I could do it all myself and have it done in a day or two because it is really not that difficult to do. I would be willing to help if you want because I have done all the crap before multiple times before.
If you want my help add me on steam: CookieMonsta54

Will Convicted 2.0 be back soon?

Better idea - Make me a guard when it opens
is convicted opening up or convicted 2 i am so very confused. What is convicted2 ip @.@
Even better idea? Make me alphawarden.
****ing **** kane its really you
When does the server open again?
In about 10 years, give or take three weeks.
(Actually in a few weeks or sooner)
