ACP Nation Flag?

I’m sure we are all familiar with our current ACP Nation Flag. When Oagalthorp was leader he made the flag, but then he had a contest to see what could be a better flag. But sadly, Oagalthorp never gave us the winner of the Flag Contest. I had a few submissions, but my favorite was this one…

Possible new ACP Nation Flag

This flag also came with a logo…

Possible new ACP Nation Logo

So, what should we do?

Jedi’s edit: A lot of people are complaining about Ktman getting through so easily. . . Ugh, so if you have a complaint just comment it afterwards, and we’ll sort it out. TY (PCE)

Question

Longoria100
Does anyone know who has this registered name? They were a mod on acp chat and banned everyone last night.

Also I need a person or two to post news on this site: http://penguincp.wordpress.com/

Consulate Elections . . .

Jedi’s edit: Saint1119, is dropping out of the Consulate Elections to become Vice President of Senate, and I was recently informed of Ironkid’s desire not to run (ONO). Anyways . . .

I think that the appeals have all been furfilled.

Jungle N is a Senator, Hattrick is now an automatic Consulate, Ennbay and Ironkid both get to be senators.

The combination sets are these:

Jojofishy>Foxtails0>Thomas720 #1

Nate950000>Unicow Rules> Seanehawk and Wicket #2

Ktman2>Saint1119>Ironkid2834 #3

Trickster>Sheila Gally> Ennbay #4

The Jungle N> Chapa23 #5

These will all be comment polls, commented here  http://acparmyofclubpenguin.wordpress.com/acp-nation/congressional-elections/ 

 They are comment polls, to avoid cheating.

Good Luck everyone! 😎

Make sure you read the post below VVVVVVVVVV

Practice Battle Poll/Site Stuff

First up, I just want to say that we recruited like crazy during the Winter Fiesta!  We got 59 new recruits in a span of 3 days, so great job everyone!  That’s almost 20 per day!  We out-recruited the Nachos at their own party (go figure 😕 ).

Next, I got a pretty good idea for a practice session this week, but I wanted to see your opinions about whether we should run another practice session, or have a Red vs. Blue practice battle with two new leaders (doing both can be an option as well).

 

Depending on what you vote, I’ll get to work on that.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The next part is for leaders and Editors.  I’m going to be really busy between regular site updates, Promo Day on the 31st, and a couple specialty items, so I’m going to need some help running some stuff.  I made a page of what I was hoping for each of you to do, so you can look at that HERE.

I will apologize ahead of time if I don’t come on chat much this week since I will be busy updating the Divisions before I have to update the ranks for them again on Promo Day, as well as a ton of other stuff that you hopefully enjoy/benefit from 😛 .

We (the leaders) also need to schedule a meeting for going over which 12 servers we will be keeping.  I’ll try to talk to you on chat about that at some point.

More info coming tomorrow!

Feel free to add comments about what you think for the practice session/battle, and keep up the recruiting!

900th Post!

Boomer’s Edit: W00t 900 posts!  I just realized that we beat our record for hits in a month yet again! 😯 .  We still have some time left in the month, so let’s keep getting the hits 🙂 .

Shab: im really tempted to delete this post and make my post be the 900th XP jkjk good job Acp and no jungle i atleast didnt even know you were on vacation

Congratulations ACP site and ACP members!!! With this post, we now have 900 POSTS!!!

With our recent 50,000th comment combined with our record recruits, record views, and almost-record hit counts combined with this post, we are now… um… immortal, I guess XD.

Anyway, so ya. This is a pointless post but I am proud to have the 900th, lol. Good job.

March On!

PS: I’m back from my vacation if you haven’t noticed, lol.

Practice Session in Review

Boomer’s Edit: That practice session yesterday gave us 307 Google searches, which is a new record for this site!  We also got 19 recruits yesterday, as well as almost 4,000 hits!  That’s our highest hit total since January 4th which, first of all, was a weekend, as well as the end of Winter Break for most people.  We really closed strong this week, which seemed to be a slow recruiting week early on, finishing with 97 new recruits!  Great job everyone!  Let’s keep up the recruiting today! 😀 .  If Brigades leaders would please organize some recruiting whenever they are on chat, I would be very greatful.  I would suggest trying Snow Fort or Snow Globe since Mammoth will be full for nonmembers and maybe even members.  When recruiting say, “Search ACP Army of Clubpenguin” because this leads directly to the site, as well as gets through Club Penguin’s confuzzling word filter.  If you don’t see anyone saying this, then maybe I’m wrong so just say something that you can confirm will show up 😕 .

Overall, I think the Practice Session went pretty well considering Snow Fort was full (even for members 😕 ), as were about the next 4 servers we tried.  When we finally settled on Snow Globe about ten minutes in, I was very impressed how quickly the entire army moved servers.  The fact that we still got 30-40 soldiers after changing servers spur-of-the-moment was pretty impressive.  I’m not sure how many people we lost in the transition, but I’m sure we lost some, so I was very impressed by how many people we managed to get to Snow Globe.  I would say the only thing we need to work on is spreading out, which is actually one of the hardest battle techniques to get down.  Here are my tips for improving this tactic:

  • Don’t stand on top of other soldiers
  • Stand shoulder-to-shoulder unless you need to take up more space, in which case keep about a full body length between you and anyone else
  • If you see an open space, I want it filled
  • *Don’t stand around the leader* – this is a big one based on what I’ve seen recently…

Anyway, here are the pics I took:

Jack said something about it being a bad Practice Battle because you actually listened to commands 😆

Nice job everyone!  Comment if you made it!

Practice Battle Reminder/Recruiting

Boomer’s 2nd Edit: Snow Fort is full so go to Snow Globe!

Boomer’s Edit: We got another 15 recruits from our recruiting today, which brings us to 75+ in 4 straight weeks!  Great job everybody, and for those who just joined, welcome to ACP! 😀

*IMPORTANT*: This is a SILENT Practice Battle, a.k.a. NO TALKING.  Make sure you are quiet so you can see my commands because it’s going to be harder than usual with the increased number of people because of the Fiesta Party.

Don’t forget the Practice Battle!  Hopefully it’s okay with you if I lead this one. 

There was a lot of confusion over who was leading the last one, and since there will probably be way more people on the server this time around, it would probably be harder to control.  That’s why, for this one, we need to make even more of an effort than we did the first practice session to be quiet, because you need to be able to see my commands.  We are going to have everyone in Green, and we are going to practice moving, charging, regrouping, etc.  We’ll save the teams for a weekend when there isn’t a big party…

With that in mind, here is the info:

When: Saturday, January 24, 2009

Server: Snow Fort

Room: Snow Forts

Teams: Just ACP Green

Times:

9:30 am Pacific

10:30 am Mountain

11:30 am Central

12:30 pm Eastern

5:30 pm U.K.

Sorry if it’s kinda early for some of you, I’m trying to make it more accessable to our soldiers over in Europe.  The practice session will be 30 minutes, followed by some recruiting.  I hope to see you there!  Maybe we’ll try some other shapes this time 😉

Comment if you can make it!

Here are some pics I took of some recruiting we did today.  I think we did pretty well considering it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.  Thanks to everyone who came out.  For those of you who we recruited, welcome to ACP!

Fiesta!/Recruiting

The Fiesta Party has begun!

The free item is something the nachos will enjoy. *DRUMROLL* A mini sombreo! It’s really cute.

Whaaat? Only ONE item? Hmph. Oh, and there is a new postcard. ^_^

A note to ACP: RECRUIT.

Boomer’s Edit: I have a half day, so I felt like doing some party updates like I did a while back with my old site… (Click to Enlarge)

Beach:

Personally, I think the party is pretty lame, but the Forest is probably the coolest room.

Comment and tell us what you think!

Since I have a half day, I think we should do some recruiting.  I will be on throughout the day, but I would like Division and Brigade leaders to get your Division/Brigade on Club Penguin.  You shouldn’t need me to initiate these things.  The Brigades were set up because the high ranks wanted more to do, but so far no one has really done anything.  If you are on ACP chat, you should be on CP as well.  We need to make more of a presense on Club Penguin since we are the Army of Club Penguin.  Brigade leaders, if your soldiers are not cooperating with the recruiting or ignoring orders, report it to me.  Likewise, soldiers, if your Brigade leader won’t get on CP even though you have asked, please report that to me as well.  I will be coming on throughout the day to help with the recruiting, but I hope to see everyone there already when I get there.

Since Mammoth will be packed with people, I would prefer we just move our entire army to Snow Fort to avoid splitting up the members and non-members on two different servers.  Here is the info:

What: Recruiting Session

When: All Day

Where: Snow Fort

Here are the directions to whoever is the highest rank online at the time.  Pick a room that is crowded but not to the point where people cannot see you.  Because there is a party, the Town is probably not the best choice.  I would try to stick to the Dock or the Snow Forts.  I will be on to help you out.  Remember to spread out, etc. to make yourselves look larger, and feel free to take pics!

See you there! 😉

P.S.~Don’t forget the Election Results!  Congrats to everyone who participated!

The Results are in!

Today concludes our Senator elections. Congratulations to the winners, and nice try to those who didn’t win.

The winner of Senate Seat #1 is the esteemed Jojofishy, Knight of ACP, and ACP Major General.

The winner of the second Senate seat is the  decorous Ktman2, current ACP Major General,  and Governor of Argent State.

The winner of the third Senate seat is the seemly  Saint1119, current ACP Major General, and  Secretary of the Interior.

The winner of the fourth Senate seat is the becoming Foxtails0, current ACP Lieutenant Colonel.

The winner of the fifth Senate seat is the meticulous Ironkid2894,  current ACP Brigadier General. However, Ennbay is contesting this, and appealing… This matter will be reviewed and the decision will be announced.

The winner of the sixth Senate seat, the pleasurable Thomas720, current ACP Major.

The winner of the seventh Senate seat, the cordial Sheila Gally, current Lieutenant General of ACP.

The winner of the eighth Senate seat, the genial Unicow Rules, current Captain of the ACP.

*Note, as the ACP President, it is within my range to make the appointment of Commisar, (Co-Leader of Consulate,(who automatically wins a seat, which is NOTcounted in the total of 4 elected seats.) I hereby appoint Hattrick, ACP General to that post)

The winner of the ninth Senate Seat, the prepossessing Chapa23, current Brigadier General of the ACP.

The winner of the tenth Senate seat, the  copacetic Nate9500000, ACP Colonel.

The winner of the eleventh Senate seat, the genial Trickster ACP Colonel.

*Note, as my office bequeaths, I have the right to appoint an additional Senator, The Jungle N.

Finally, the winner of the twelfth Senate seat is, Seanhawk and Wicket1235.

Note*Since Seanehawk and Wicket1235 are running jointly, when in office, they must consult each other before voting, and make a joint vote.

So, the Senators are : Jojofishy, Ktman2, Saint1119, Foxtails0, Ironkid2834, Thomas720, Sheila Gally, Unicow Rules,  Chapa23, Nate950000, Trickster, Seanehawk and Wicket1235, and the Jungle N by appointment.

Consulates: Commisar-designate (Hattrick, he has to accept), and 4 others that will be elected! Well done.

Servers/ANTA/Practice Battle

Boomer’s 2nd Edit: I added a new Allies and Enemies page for the ACP Nation page.  You can now use this page to apply to be our ally (I promise I will keep up with it better this time… 😐 ).

Shab: I’m going with the boy scouts up to north conway from friday when i get out of school till sometime sunday so I won’t be able to make the practice wars 🙁

Boomer’s Edit: I cleaned up the blogroll and the ACP Nation page (yay now it doesn’t refer to things that were 10 months ago 😀 ).  I also moved the Coalition page to the ACP Nation page as well.

First things first, I need to put this out there, since no one has really been listening except FGR…

ACP owns Ice Breaker, Snow Fort, and Snow Globe, so Nachos, IW, UMA, etc. please don’t invade those servers since FGR does not own them anymore 😐 (it was a misunderstanding, not because of an invasion).

Ok, next up, I do not really know the details of it so much, but it sounds like the Alliance and some other armies (maybe 😕 ) agreed to a 12 server limit (yay that was basically my “server” cap idea 😀 ).  As I was updating our Nation page, I realized that we have 20 servers, which is wayy excessive.  We really only ever use 4, but we need to cut back to 12, so I am going to arrange a meeting for the ACP Leaders to work out which ones we will be keeping.  Sounds like RPF initiated that one, so round of applause to Commando for getting that one done (and trust me, it really needed to be done 😛 ).

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

My next idea is related to that since many armies are planning invasions of new servers.  Since there has been a lot of confusion recently over the FGR owning other armies’ servers, we really need a way to make sure everyone knows who owns what server.  I proposed the idea of bringing back ANTA (The Army and Nation Treaty Alliance) about a week ago, and this is why I think we need it:

  • We need one place with a comprehensive list of all the servers and who owns what
  • We need one site with a list of all the armies participating
  • We need a place for all of the major armies to collaborate ideas

I am hoping we can arrange a meeting of army leaders for this weekend.  I’ll post again when I have a good time for it.

Here is my plan [This can all be discussed at the meeting]:

We will bring back the old ANTA site (I think Shadow still has it).  We can also bring back the old chat.  The site would be comprised of the leaders of the major armies, so Person2133, Linkin55, Akabob22, Iceyfeet1234, Commando717, Hero12985, Itachi6dark, Batista1822, Wii Mountain, Spaceybirdy, myself, and Shadow since it’s his site would be Admins and Owners on chat (we might try to limit it to one Admin/Owner per army, but that’s up for debate at the meeting).  Co-leaders and Presidents of large armies can be Editors/Mods.  Leaders of medium-sized armies can be Mods, and their Co-Leaders can be Members.  Leaders of small armies who are interested in joining ANTA would also be Members (members only chat).  All of this can be discussed at the meeting (TBA).

Together we can work together to make a comprehensive server list that will outline who owns what and since the server limit is now 12, which servers are now available to smaller armies.  Having one single server list will also help us for giving Land Grants, etc. to smaller armies who may not own any servers, however there should be many more available with the server cap idea.  If you see me on chat, let me know when you think the best time for this meeting would be so I can schedule it.  Thanks.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Next is the Practice Battle, which you voted to go ahead with anyway with around a two-thirds vote.  Hopefully it’s okay with you if I lead this one. 

There was a lot of confusion over who was leading the last one, and since there will probably be way more people on the server this time around, it would probably be worse.  That’s why, for this one, we need to make even more of an effort than we did the first practice session to be quiet, because you need to be able to see my commands.  We are going to have everyone in Green, and we are going to practice moving, charging, regrouping, etc.  We’ll save the teams for a weekend when there isn’t a big party…

With that in mind, here is the info:

When: Saturday, January 24, 2009

Server: Snow Fort

Room: Snow Forts

Teams: Just ACP Green

Times:

9:30 am Pacific

10:30 am Mountain

11:30 am Central

Sorry if it’s kinda early for some of you, I’m trying to make it more accessable to our soldiers over in Europe.  The practice session will be 30 minutes, followed by some recruiting.  I’ll post reminders as it gets closer.
