Boomer’s Edit:

Goodbye Oagal,

It was great to get to know you better the past month or so. It was always an honor to fight alongside you. I said this when you retired from ACP in April and I will say it again. You are the standard upon which all leaders will be forever judged, but none can compare to you. ACP will miss you. If you have any interest in my email address, feel free to ask or look it up on wordpress. I would still welcome any suggestions you have to give me.  I promise to give ACP everything I have as leader in your honor.

Best of luck Oagalthorp, you will be missed. *Salutes*

Boomer 20

ACP Soldier Forever

Rapidy’s Edit: This is a very important post. If you’re going to edit it then do it at the bottom. This goes for all posts. People read your edits before even getting to the actual post.

Aber’s Edit: It’s been a pleasure working with you, Oagal. Even though we mostly had our fights and disagreements, we saw eye to eye in the end. And it was a pleasure making Acp work together again. Farewell. 🙂

Shab’s Edit: Um…I can’t say much other than I accept your appology. I wish we had been better friends and didn’t fight. The would have been cool learning stuff from you. Good luck staying away from Acp because it will be hard. Idk if I’ll be here when you come back again depending on how long you go away for but hopefully the welcome you get then from acp is friendlier than the welcome you got this time.

Well, its that time of year again: Farewell to Oagalthorp. 😀 Anyway, its been fun to be back, but I’ve got too much going on right now to get too involved here. So it looks like I’m leaving . . . again. In an attempt to stay gone, I’m going to try not to do much on this site after a few good-byes have been made, and that includes no more Chat time.

Before I go, there are a few things I want everyone to know . . .

A few nights ago, I was contemplating when to leave CP;  hopefully for good this time. Now, I usually don’t ask much of God — I always imagined that if I were Him, I wouldn’t want all these people asking Me to do all of their favors. In my mind, we need to get things done ourselves, and give God less to worry about.

But that night, I wondered “What if I asked God what I should do about this?”  Instantly, a thought occurred to me. “Why not just forgive and forget — turn the other cheek, like Jesus would do?” Well, I’ve decided to try to take the high road.

Shaboomboom: I’m sorry that you were removed from your position as the leader of the ACP. But Jedi was threatened, and it wouldn’t be fair if she lost because of that. I understand how that might feel, and I’m sorry. I just hope you can come to accept your new position with pride. It’s been an honor fighting beside you. ^coolest person eva

Ankita: I’m sorry that you cannot be the main leader, as many believe you deserve. But the current leadership system is what seems to work best. I hope that you, too, can perform your duty with honor. Your brains, wit, and over-all kindness have made you a good friend of mine.

Boomer: I have nothing to apologize to you about, or at least nothing comes to mind. But it was nice to get to truly get to know you, and I’m sure you will do a superb job as leader.

Sheila: As with Boomer, I don’t recal doing you wrong. But, as with Boomer, its been nice to talk to you. You’re a good friend.

Rapidy: I’m sorry that you could never have been the leader, like I originally appointed you to be. You are a good friend, and I’ll miss you. Thanks for being one of the few who never lost your faith in me.

Akabob: I’m sorry that I’ve never been noble enough to apologize in the past, and end this long-running argument that may have permanently crippled ACP and Nacho relations. I’ll miss the debating, and I must say, you were one of the recent enemies who is respectable.

Person: I’m sorry that I’ve never been able to end our argument, and I’d like to apologize for whatever it was that got you to first hate me.

Shadow: I’m sorry that I haven’t been strong-minded enough to end ourarguments, and I’m sorry for whatever factor or factors caused our disagreements. We were actually friends, for a short period of time, but for whatever reason, that period passed. If i ever recall my time in CP in the future, I’ll try to remember you as a friend, not an enemy.

Commando: I’m not sure exactly why you started disliking me, but for whatever reason it was, I’m sorry for not trying to mend our friendship from the start, and allowing it to get this out-of-hand. As with Shadow, I will try to remember you as an old friend, not a rival.

Nachos: I’m sorry that I could never fully restrain the mutual ACP and Nacho rivalry — one that has run too deep for any war to solve. I’m also sorry that I fanned those fires by fighting back when some Nachos got on my nerves, rather than being the “bigger man” and walked away.

Ice Warriors: I’m sorry that, until recently, I’d never truly acknowledged you as a major army, when in fact you have proven to be one of the strongest groups out there.

RPF: I’m sorry for whatever it was that tore our once-strong alliance, which was rooted in WWIII and lived on while we were the two strongest armies in CP.

UMA: I’m sorry that I didn’t treat you as well as I should have following WWIII. To be truthful, you were the greatest army we had ever fought, during  the most epic war in CP history.

ACP: I’m sorry for continuing to return and leave, whether you want me to stay or want me to stay gone. What happened during this past month was good and bad. I had an opportunity to meet up with some of my old friends, and some new soldiers. I’m sorry that I never got back Mammoth for you — the server than is rightfully yours. Don’t blame the Nachos or anyone for that; it was wrong of me to get your hopes up and letting a few factors get in the way. I’m gonna miss you guys.

Nate has been warned already about impersonating other people, so this is an official warning to the rest of you.  I have seen way too much of this happening in the recent comments.  You should not know the email addresses of other people unless you are told it by the person to whom it belongs.  If you are caught impersonating anyone you will be warned once.  After that, you risk being IP banned on the site.  Stealing someones identity is serious whether you think it is a joke or not.  Whether it is a Federal offense or not, it will be impossible to run this army if no one can trust that any comment is actually coming from the person whose name is in the comment.  If you are caught, you will be severely punished.  That is a fair warning.

I have looked into Nate’s hacking situation, which is very confusing.  Shab is correct that the IP addresses from the comments posted as Sheila and Oagal did in fact belong to Nate, however there is not enough evidence at this time to prove that Nate hacked the accounts.  Nate says that he was able to obtain the email addresses from a source which I cannot repeat at this time, and by using these email addresses, was able to fill in the wordpress account pictures that Oagal and Sheila use.  Nate will not be demoted, but he has been warned not to do this again.  Also Sheila, I need to talk to you on chat when you get the chance.

Boomer

There seems to be a discrepancy over who won the battle between ACP and UMA.   The picture in question is the one below that Batista took.  The question is who had the lead at this point.  UMA argues that they had more soldiers.  Jedi’s argument is that some of these soldiers are not UMA soldiers but are other penguins wearing red who were present prior to the battle.

Apologies for the poor quality, it was not my picture.

Here are my arguments:

1. This picture was taken prior to the battle.  Though it was only one minute before, many of the random penguins that had turned red while UMA was waiting for the beginning of the battle left after we charged and joke bombed UMA for the first 2-3 minutes.
2. The rules state that you gain a point for having more soldiers than the opponent for 5 minutes straight.  Just because UMA had more soldiers at this one single moment should not affect the scoring at all.  Even if they did hold the majority at this point, which I do not believe is true, they should not be awarded points for this single instance.
3. Some of the soldiers marked by Batista were not UMA soldiers.  The ones circled in blue were penguins that I could read the names of clearly enough to check the UMA ranks and say that they were in fact, not ranked members of UMA.  The other blue ones were clearly not in UMA uniform (one at the top was even the color green), wearing items such as a crown and pink sweatshirt/scarf.  The ones circled in green were not necessarily UMA soldiers, but I could not tell whether they were or not, so I have including since I cannot be sure.

My final count is that there are at most, 21 UMA (with 4 in question), whereas there are at most 26 ACP soldiers (maybe as few as 23).  Regardless of the total number of ACP soldiers, there are not enough actual UMA soldiers for there to be a majority, and even if UMA and ACP were even, no points should be awarded because neither held the significant majority.  It is my belief that after this point, UMA lost soldiers throughout the battle while ACP gained soldiers, resulting in the recorded majority that ACP had at the conclusion of the battle.  I hope that this sheds some light on the subject so that we can make a proper decision.

Boomer

P.S.~If any of the judges would like to talk with me about this, I am open to any arguments you may have.

Jedi’s Edit: In other words, Nate has been pardoned, and will get his old rank back.

Boomer’s Edit: I looked into this hacking situation, which is very confusing.  Shab is correct that the IP addresses from the comments posted as Sheila and Oagal did in fact belong to Nate, however there is not enough evidence at this time to prove that Nate hacked the accounts.  Nate says that he was able to obtain the email addresses from a source which I cannot repeat at this time, and by using these email addresses, was able to fill in the wordpress account pictures that Oagal and Sheila use.  Nate will not be demoted, but he has been warned not to do this again.  Also Sheila, I need to talk to you on chat when you get the chance.

Sheila’s Edit:   Nate, I don’t know what to say, I’m very disapointed in you! I don’t know what I ever did to you. But, on the bright side: you even DARE to try to hack me, when I die I’ll come back and haunt you EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE!

Oagal: I was just reading some posts on several CP army sites, and I’ve realized something: Some of these “major” armies are as immature as hell! Over half of the latest _____ and ___ posts have been anti-ACP in some way or another.

Why does this matter, you may ask? Well the ACP has been handling such adversaries calmly and respectfully — which is more than can be said for many of the people who oppose us. Congratulations, because we — and a few other armies, such as the Ice Warriors — have proven ourselves to be the most mature army in CP. A lot of the immature people will contradict this, but we will handle that like the rest of our problems: Maturely, and respectfully.

Acp: The usual is happening. X-mas party planning should be started by Saturday. It will be run by Shab.

Uma: There is a poll to see if Aber should be leader of UMA again. Vote YES!!

WW: Nothing much is happening here.

IW: Trying to have a rematch against BB. I have just found out that IW beat BB in the rematch. Congrats Icey and all the IW soldiers.

RPF (BIGGEST NEWS!!!): Zie has fired Dragon from rpf for saying something inappropriate to him. Instead of a suspension or a demotions he got fired. I find it funny that Dragon is fired right now when rpf’s leader elections are going to be happening soon because Dragon was the biggest competition against Zie.

My opinion is that Dragon gets to run in the election and if he does not win then he can be demoted or suspended or punished however the new leader would like.

If Dragon is allowed to run in the elections then I suggest ACP voting for him. He has agreed to sign peace treaties with ACP and will be the easiest to negotiate with. Zie has shown that he does not completely trust ACP but Dragon does.

Shab (Sry Sheila but i decided to do the army news today)

Boomer Edit: Well ACP, we fought a good fight.  You guys had me worried for a second.  Just minutes before the battle, we had maybe 15 soldiers to UMA’s 35 after recruiting an enormous amount beforehand.  All that changed soon.  After the clock hit 11:00, we charged right into their lines and disrupted the forces, leaving UMA with just over 25 soldiers.  After the first successful charge, we continued relentlessly, displacing UMA’s soldiers on each successful charge.  After about 5 minutes, reinforcements arrived from the Plaza, where ACP soldiers had been waiting for the full room to open.  We never let up.  We never backed down.  And in the end, we came out on top.  Congratulations ACP!  I would like to thank every soldier who attended.  I would also like to thank our worthy opponent, for putting up one heck of a fight.  It’s a shame this battle had to be the 1st Round because it was worthy of a final.  Congratulations everyone!

Go here for the official summary: http://apollobob.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/big-upset/

——————————————————————————

Well, great job, soldiers! I arrived at the battle 9 minutes late, because the room was jam-packed. 😕 Anyway, here are some pics, over one per-minute since I came:

Boomer: Apologies for all the edits, Oagal, but I figured I could include my pics from before you came:

This is right at the start after our first charge:

And a couple more successful charges:

 And now for Oagal’s pics:

 Boomer Edit: Check out the one two down.  That’s the big one right there 😉

Sorry they’re not actual size, but they were just too big to fit in this post any other way. *shrugs*

Here were the events of the battle:

1. ACP and UMA arrive in equal numbers.
2. Lots of charges, regrouping, and repeating – on both sides.
3. In the end, the ACP got the edge and won!

That was one heck of a battle, and I’m proud of you guys. Congratulations to Boomer, Jungle, Tiger, Shab, Sheila, Rapidy, and all the other ACP soldiers who fought so hard to win. (Jedi was not there because she had family matters at the time.) I’d also like to congratulate the UMA – they put up one hell of a fight, and didn’t let up throughout the entire battle. There were so many people it took me nearly 10 minutes to even get in the room!

As for the Nacho vs. WW battle, well, let’s just say it was messed up. At the last minute the location was changed from South Pole to ColdFront, and for some reason the battle was extended by several minutes, and didn’t end until well after 11:45, PST. The Nachos have claimed victory, and we have no word form the WW yet. But no matter who we face in the next round, I’ll say this: The time and place won’t be changed.

Also, the Nachos think the ACP lost for some reason. Probably because Shadow – a loyal Nacho claiming not to be – fought for the UMA, and told Person we lost. Don’t worry about what they say, it’s just typical Nacho propaganda. 🙄

Remember, tomorrow the Ice Warriors will fight the Black Bandits, and the RPF will fight the CP Warriors. The results should be interesting!
