For those that are new or never used PRISM its our own player stats tracking site. It's not a plugin but instead runs alongside MCP as a standalone utility that talks to all the different plugins and player files on the server.
I know next to no one will use it but I have had a bit of time to kill. In addition I thought it would be nice to get some of the MCP / CDGS things polished up a bit, and it was a fun way to spend an evening. I also added a simple leaderboard for some fun stats, I'll add more / make it more flexible for displaying data but I thought this could be a fun start.

If you are someone who likes stats, go take a peek at your own and friends' over at https://cdgs.net/Prism/ or the link in the site nav bar.

In addition, made a new staff and donor page https://cdgs.net/Players/

There are still a few bugs, it's a code base that hasn't been ran in nearly 10 years so let me know what issues you find.

If you want to set a player moto use on MCP ie like Silas https://cdgs.net/Prism/index.php?player=silas_bowen

We have always been fair when it comes to creating a play environment. With that said thanks to everyone who has supported the server under our fair system but as it violates Mojangs IP enforcement we cannot accept donations through CDGS anymore.

I won't make a long rant but my opinion on the matter is this enforcement is occurring just to protect their IP under the guise of making fair game play. MCP has always prided ourselves with our fair design/gameplay long before the EULA, this is why we've lasted for so long. Corrupt admins on other servers can literally just spawn favoured players things for free so the whole "we're doing this to protect players" thing is silly as servers run by the community can't be policed like that.

They are also claiming this is done in order to prevent people from being ripped off (something we have never done). When in reality large & small servers that will abide by a EULA are not the kind to rip people off in the first place. Other servers that rip off players will likely just violate the EULA will just pack up and rebrand without a second thought of their members.

I could literally write an essay on this but won't as it's a waste of time.

If you have inquiries feel free to message me.

List of things to add
• Auto complete to search.
• Add donor/staff page back
• Globe Stats page/ leader boards
• Track differnt kills / deaths
• Times voted that month and all time (Back-end done just needs to be added to front end)
• Player signature image generator that show name,/nick rank, balance, playtime... ect
• Death log?
• Player that killed you the most?
• Player you killed the most?
• Most killed player globe?
• Most kills globe (Not likely due to boosting)

like I said still much a work in progress, always wanted a stats page but Silas would not let me add a plugin but after finishing 1st year engineering I had enough programming knowlage to make it, who would of though something I paid for and leaned in school I would get a use out of :/
If there is something you would like added please let me know, most things are possible to add, also I am going to add all the past MCP 1 - 5 data to it also.

So its probably been apparent to those of you that have noticed the delay on things and my general inactivity. My drive to work on the server and general interest in doing so is not very high at the moment. Don't jump to any conclusions I've had lulls in my activity before and it's not surprising it's happening right now considering the 1.9 updating is a huge unrewarding pain in the ass and it feels like negative progress is made to the servers development. It's very unmotivating to want to work on other things and instead being forced to do something else.

Now regardless of my lack of activity lately the server is doing fine. We have no plans to shut down the server in the near future assuming it doesn't require large amounts of time/effort to maintain when we have no interest in doing so. I've joked about shutting it down instead of updating, however we'd never do that since it would be throwing away something so great for a stupid reason.

Now I feel I should inform you that there is an almost guaranteed decrease in admin activity coming up due to the reason that I'll be starting school, along with Zeedin in the future. This has made us think about the fact that we won't have as much time to work on the server even if we wanted to. Now we've been considering making a new map lately, but haven't decided on it (So don't fucking picnic it's just a general thought and wouldn't happen for a long time). However it is probably a safe bet to make that MCP will never get past a V6 and maybe never get there. If we were to ever work on a new map it would be the last one hopefully propping MCP up for an admin hibernation. (ONCE AGAIN THERE IS NO PLANS FOR A NEW MAP/RESET IN THE NEAR FUTURE CALM YOUR TITS)

Really it's not like I don't enjoy working on CDGS, I still enjoy it just not all the time and particularly when I don't wish to. I will continue to work on projects when I feel like it as that's the part of running MCP I enjoy the most and hopefully set it up to be as stable as possible to admins need to be involved less.

So in short:
- I'll be trying to make MCP as little maintenance as possible.
- I'm not super motivated to work on MCP but wish it to stay up.
- I'll be starting school soon, so will Zeedin. There is a guaranteed drop in admin activity coming.
- This is one of the last versions of MCP but we'll keep it up as long as possible.

Feel free to leave any comments/questions. This post was written at 4 AM so it's very rambly.

I'm the Owner of this server and you can call me Silas_Bowen/LaughNgamez

You're clearly wondering what happened to Convicted and why there has been changes.
As you've likely realized, Convicted has shut down. Viper for his own reasons is no longer continuing to run the server.
This offers us both an opportunity to benefit the communities of both MCF and Convicted.

Out of respect and what we feel is best for Convicted, the server domain will now point to the Minecraft Community Prison (MCP) which is a server I have ran for the past few years. This will allow both communities to combine and hopefully rekindle the classic prison genre.

Originally MCP was a server which came after Convicted and was inspired by it. Due to this the base structure of MCP is similar to the foundation of Convicted.
MCP has been a hobby for many years and I have enjoyed adding things to it to keep it interested, players may find it more developed than Convicted, possibly overwhelming.
I promise you though if you take the time to get used to it I believe you could have a great experience on this server like you did on Convicted.

As a result a merge into MCP will be fairly simple, hopefully smooth as possible.

Merge facts:
Note: As of a new map & server reset we are no longer doing any rank or money transfers.

- We'll be transferring player ranks up to Free
- Up to 100k of a players money will be transferred
- Donators on Convicted 2.0 will be given a 2 week donator access on MCP

Contact Silas_Bowen or Zeedin to get help with your transfer. We will only be able transfer your data if we confirm you had it before.

Of course if you have any questions or concerns make sure to voice them.

For MCP players nothing will change]]>

We are re-brand CDGS and the servers under it into there own entity under CDGS. So MCP will be listed under MCP and HCF under HCF, the reason being that to many kids find the "hub" concept to confusing. They will still be on the network just it wont be advertised as one.

Also updating HCF add/fix things on there, and the same goes for MCP just not as hard core.

Then dumb a shit ton into advertising about $300-$600 and this is all coming out of pocket for me and Silas

Then pray to lord Gaben.

? ? ?

After MCP and HCF get going strong then work on Rush.

Then one day I hope to make a tower defense like game that scales form 1-100+ players. Where you build your own "tower" and you hold is as long as you can and can never win like COD Zombies, O and kill fuck tons of dudes and feel like a god, kuz who doesn't like committing genocide.]]>
