    I somewhat approve of the Rec system. The only problem is if the guard will be baised or not.
    (Like letting whoever is paying them to do whatever they want.)
    Or i hope the frees wont just rec, than unrec when the guards kill/jail them.

    Quote from m0dk1ll3r

    I'm just posting this to let you all know I'm quitting convicted for good.

    I loved convicted, I loved guarding, I basicly loved everything about it. I can still remeber mining in A mine to get to Elite and the next day I was trainee, you can't imagine how happy I was. I guarded for a week orso and become guard, god that was a good week! After a month I still loved guading, made good friends on the server and I just enjoyed every aspect of the server. A month or 2 later, it's started going downhill for me. I've been having some conflics with wardens during that period but after talking to eachother for a decent amount of time we decided to just ignore our heavy argumentation and keep going.

    Another 3 months later (Being guard for about 5 months and a half orso) again, I got into an arguementation with one of the wardens and he talked to me like I was a C-prisoner who just joined the server. "You're a suck up to all the wardens" "You start acting like chocants" This hurt me inside, really, after guarding 5 and a half month and the last month guarding over 6 hours a day this was a slap in the face. Maybe this warden didn't mean exactly how he said it, but it felt bad, very bad.

    So I decided to quit convicted, knowing that whatever I would do this person would look down upon me and concidering this one warden can't stand me making my chances on ever getting alpha zero, I decided to resign from guard and quit the server.

    I hope you guys have a good time on this server and hope that you'll never have trouble with wardens like I had with them.

    Guard,
    m0dk1ll3r


    Aww, shoot. Well, adios mod. I loved you.

    Who was the warden? My bets are on P0T or Noakii!

    Could I get some word on my unban app? It's only been three days, sure, but I haven't gotten any kind of answer from the admins of this server and I feel ignore by the wave of posts washing it away.

    I'm retireing guards get never ending abuse and when we do our job people scream abuse I tried to put up with it it's been 2 moths but I'm finally realizing guard isn't for me sorry everyone please set me back to elite



    >taking a picture of a computer

    my ****ing sides

    Anywho, waah waah. Obviously guard was NOT meant for you. You guards have it easy these days, with the chainmail armor and how many dozens of you there are on at once. When I was guard (cue old man mode), we didn't have any of that! It was three pieces of pork, some iron armor (which sucked back then mind you) and a diamond sword. I was sometimes the only guard online for hours, and people loved to attack me in groups. It was a living hell.


    So I abused the **** out of my position.

    You're just a wussy.

    IGN: iShawn
    Current rank on the server: Free
    Reason you were banned: Duplicating
    Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: N/A
    Approximate time of ban: Back in December of 2011
    Why you deserve to be unbanned: This server was the best server that I had ever enjoyed playing on. Everything about it I loved, and I'm extremely regretting duplicating blocks and messing with the server. At the time it had just been fun and games, but now I see that it was a pretty serious offense, and that I should have never dreamt of doing such things. Over time I've really, really missed this server, and I wanna come back. I really hope that I can be accepted back into Bains Penitentiary. No other server has the amazing staff or the ever addicted PVP as this one does. If I am not accepted back, I guess I understand, but I can vow that I will never do anything of the sort ever again. This is the one server that I know I will like for a long time, and these other prison servers or even survival servers for that matter don't even compare to this one. So, on an ending note, give me another chance? It won't be regretted. I'd obviously have my rank reset to C and my money and chest(s) cleared, and I'm completely fine with that. Please reply even if it is a decline. Thanks in advance.



    Holy crap, iShawn! haven't seen you in forever! I want him back.

    Convicted is too High class for me.

    I would apply for Guard but I see dozens of people denied daily, and it must be hard as **** to get somewhat staff position on Convicted.

    Still a good server, but in my opinion only people that are Known, nice and liked by wardens/Alphas would get picked for Guard or Not get banned in a situation that the person could potentially be banned.

    It was nice, I might stick around.


    Or the fact that 99% of guard apps are "hurr durr prisoners r bad let me do it i am 12 and mature"

    Almost all of them are short, laughable and ridiculous. If you want to be accepted, write something that's worth noticing.

    Also, there's almost ALWAYS a guard on during USA daylight timezones. The server needs less of those, not more.

    As an added bonus, here's my app from night ago, so the admins don't have to go back pages to look:



    IGN: jmon94
    Current rank on the server: Free
    Reason you were banned: Xray
    Warden/Alpha that issued your ban: (N/A if you don't know) AldronAran
    Approximate time of ban: (Include time zone) 2:00am EST
    Why you deserve to be unbanned: Anyone can say "I didn't xray." Anyone. So, really, what can I say for my argument?

    The problem I have with this ban though, is Aldron has absolutely NO proof I xrayed other than his testimony. When I was Alpha (cue grandpa mode), and yes things have changed, but when I was Alpha I once submitted a ban report. I included a small snippet of video I managed to capture before he caught on. And you know what happened? The case was thrown out. Hell, the admins laughed. They said I didn't have nearly enough evidence, and MY WORD ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.

    I hope to God you have not changed your values, because that guy I captured may have been banned for nothing more than my poor judgement, and I hate to see that happen! Aldron has absolutely NO proof for his case, and while I have none to defend myself, the burden of proof lies on the accuser, not the accused. The accused does not have to do anything but refute any evidence the accuser gives them. All Aldron has is his own word, and that's simply not sufficient. I realize this isn't a court, it's a server on minecraft, but are we going to ban based on word? Who's to say he did not make a misjudgement? Who's to say he simply saw wrong? It's not fair to the players that I have to be banned. You may trust your Alphas, but dear God, it is NOT fair I have to be banned unjustly because of trust. Trust. Is. Not. Sufficient.

    Demanding evidence for a ban is not that much to ask for. I did it all the time. Unless someone is BLATANTLY hacking that the whole server can testify for, it's ridiculous that you don't require evidence. There is at most, what, 1 ban a day? If we take away ban happy froot, that average drops drastically. Alphas are meant to be an extra eye, but not make such important decisions based on eyewitness alone. It is not difficult to launch fraps. A simple double click and F9 or whatever your hot key is will do the trick, and all parties will be happy.

    If all this fails to convince you, consider this: If I truly am an xrayer, I'd obviously do it again when unbanned, correct? Maybe wait a few days, but still do it once again. So, give me ONE more chance. If they have proof I did it again, I'd be locked away forever. Proof of Xray is so simple: Fraps + Xray + Record = Instant Ban. So, I'd be banned in the very near future! Otherwise, I'm not a threat to the server, and shouldn't stay banned. This has been my all time favorite server, and I've contributed quite a bit to it. I wish to not be banned. I'm willing to sacrifice my inventory and money if you're still suspicious of me. Anything for this wonderful server.


    Any additional information: I have a house and apartment to attend to! D: Think of the plants!
    Quote from Fizzydog

    1) Why do you wish to be a guard? The guards right now are, quite frankly, a bit on the useles side. Jordan and iken are both very cowardly and run away at the first sign of trouble. I want to make sure the bad prisoners are punished.
    2) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 1 day) 1 day, or about so.
    3) Do you understand that abusing your powers as guard will lead to you being stripped of your status and maybe even banned? Yes, definetly yes.
    4) Why are you a good choice for guard? I have the experience to keep people as naughty as the infamous Noakii down. I will be able to do my job, and do it efficiently. I've been a guard on some seven or six servers, which is quite a bit.

    -jmon94


    Also, I don't mean to spam, but I definetly suggest this guy for guard. he's fantastic.

    "Eyewitnesses frequently play a vital role in uncovering the truth
    about a crime. The evidence they provide can be critical in identifying,
    charging, and ultimately convicting suspected criminals. That is
    why it is absolutely essential that eyewitness evidence be accurate and
    reliable. One way of ensuring we, as investigators, obtain the most
    accurate and reliable evidence from eyewitnesses is to follow sound
    protocols in our investigations." -Janet Reno, Attorney General

    Law doesn't seem to be a subject you're too knowledgeable about. When we ban people, the Wardens serve as our investigators when it comes to unban apps. We as Alpha Guards, prove our loyalty are reliability simply by obtaining our rank. This makes our testimonials "accurate and reliable". To even say that a testimonial isn't strong proof and put "law 101" after it, only proves your lack of understanding for law itself.

    When you say that "Players older than (you) have been banned for similar reasons." doesn't exactly help your case. In fact it works against you. It says that no one is above trying things that will given them an advantage against their peers, but ultimately will end in their own removal of the game. When you say that your an old player and wouldn't tempt it, we hear that all the time. Your case being based off of evidence that is always refuted do to its unreliability only weakens your chance at being unbanned. I suggest that you try and take a different approach to your ban appeal. Find ways to prove your innocence; other player testimonials, better reasoning than "I've been here forever", or anything else you can come up with.

    AldronAran "Waldo"


    Ok, lets not insult now. You're misquoting that attorney. While eyewitness accounts provide a vital role in convicting a suspect, that account is useless if not paired with separate evidence. You cannot base a case entirely off eye witness accounts! It's futile! Now, if a store was robbed and they charged someone with an eyewitness account as evidence, maybe they could be incriminated. But if, say, a person said someone was trespassing and all they had for their evidence was their own eyes and ears, THEN that case would be futile. Want to know why? Because they can't prove a CRIME was comitted. There is a HUGE difference between charging someone with a crime and attempting to say someone did something. A person can prove a robbery took place. A person cannot prove there was a trespasser unless they find footprints or video, etc. Do you understand? I'm kind of rambling because it's hard to explain.

    Anywho, once again, what case do I have for me? That's why I am saying that guards should have to provide evidence! Otherwise, I am defenseless. My only defense is my testimony. No one else was around when it happened. Just me, you, and mystery man. Yours is your testimony. This isn't fair for me at all. How do I prove myself innocent? I shouldn't have to, you should have to prove me guilty. And what you have given so far, "It LOOKED like he was xraying..." is laughable at best.

    I included that information not to help my case, but to admit I technically HAVE no case. Really, the admins could look either way with this. They could show leniency and mercy and unban me because of a lack of evidence, or they could choose to side with you and ban based on testimony. I'm in God's, or moreso the admin's, hands now.

    I know we had a lengthy discussion on this in game, Jmon, but I must say my peace for all to see. As time has gone on, we come to trust in those given mod powers. I am lucky enough to be one of those few. While you hold to your belief that I have no "proof" to your actions, I hold to one simple fact: eye witness testimonies win cases. Whether reliable or otherwise, as long as someone is willing to admit to having witnessed the act, and make an accusation based upon what they saw, their word will more than likely be trusted. At this you have said that "Trust is not sufficient". Every judgement is based on the honor and trustworthiness of an appointed overseer. When the final call is made, it's truly up to them to decide the end all fate based on what is provided. When I say have the proof required to ban someone, I don't do so lightly. As I have said, there was another witness that can place me next to you during the act. What I saw was Xray, and I passed my judgement.

    Your unban-app should convince people that you should be unbanned. What I read focused primarily on addressing that you don't agree with the fact that we focus our bans on trust in our moderators. I'm not saying that having video proof is a bad thing or a waste of time. However, I am saying that if we were to allow for that line of thinking, we'd spend more time doubting each others credibility than we would spend on actually taking care of anyone suspected of breaking the rules. The police and other law enforcement don't stop and say "Hey, I should stop, and record this man robbing or attacking someone, just in case someone doubts my actions later on". I will admit they have implemented front shield cameras in many modern squad cars, to help in the defense of an officer, but they are still trusted in their actions.

    My final argument is that I was not promoted out of sheer need for more moderators. I was promoted because I was deemed capable and worthy of the position. To say my word or my proof by sight isn't trustworthy is to say that Viper and Noakii have misplaced their trust in me, and I take offense to that. I worked hard to earn their trust, and my position. I wouldn't sacrifice such trust or friendship for some kind of material gain, to which their is none for me. By banning you, I have accomplished nothing other than removing another rule breaker. I don't gain praise every time I ban someone. I don't get paid in-game salary based upon how many people I ban a month or day. And there is no quota as to how many bans I need under my belt before chance of another promotion. You even brought up this argument yourself. You say you had nothing to gain by Xraying, and that you couldn't possibly sacrifice that much for a few diamonds. The fact of the matter is, many people are banned, and they are in the same boat. "I would never do something to to get me banned, not with all I accomplished". "Why would someone of my experience take such a risk with my time and effort". Each of these excuses we hear constantly, and the end all fact is, no one is above the law, and no one is to good to commit a crime. These may seem like able alibis, but they hold no real consequence or any real weight. They are simple words to distract people from the fact that anyone is capable of performing such acts. You are no different than the others. Your ban is justified and is proven enough past reasonable doubt, simply because of my testimony. Now, this does not mean your testimony isn't going to hold weight either. If your reputation is as extensive as you say, than people will believe you are innocent, and your testimony might persuade them to promote your cause. When it comes to down to it, banning on multiplayer servers such as these, is only ever defended by testimonies. Having videos bolsters your testimony, but in the end its all reliant upon trust.

    Best of luck in your campaign for unban

    AldronAran "Waldo"


    First of all, I must comment on your police and court comments. No, a testimony is simply not sufficient. Law 101. If we were in a true, actual court, this case would be over by now. That's a bit of an irrelevant argument, but in no way is a simple eye witnesses testimony by ANYONE, even if it was the goddamn President, a winning argument.

    Now, I've never said you're not trustable. I never said you're not making good decisions. I said you're capable of mistakes, and those mistakes can ruin a person's fun. This is, after all, a game server. I'm not ruining someone's life. I'm not destroying something valuable. I, according to you, may have xrayed. I say I didn't. You say I did. It's ridiculous to not have to be able to PROVE I xray'd, to be able to say I did it.

    Now, how CAN I defend myself? All I can do is say what other potential xrayers say, because that's the only argument there is! You can't defend running into a crap load of diamonds! I just have to spew out cliche statements, because there IS no way to defend myself. If there was hard evidence, I could attempt to disprove it, but otherwise we're both going off testimonies. I've played this server for over a year, and that's really the best I can come up with. Players older than me have been banned for similar reasons. I simply don't know how to defend myself other to say the factors behind my ban are unfair.
