*****NOTE*****WE ARE ON SERVER: SNOW FORT
This Speech was made by Major General Dryvit. I believe it has a lot of value to it and everyone should read.
When fate calls, who will answer? Will it be those that don’t take the time to learn what loyalty is? Or will it be those that put loyalty above all else? I saw this week just who would answer. It was those members of ACP who cared enough, were loyal enough and were ready to place their own personal time aside for the betterment of ACP and CP. As those soldiers toiled in the trenches defending ACP from all comers, others were blithely chattering and laughing away the time oblivious by choice or by circumstance to the battle being fought for their benefit. There are those soldiers who join and participate because they feel connected to ACP. They stay loyal above all else and fight the good fight each and every time asked without questioning why or wondering the personal reward. Then there are those that place personal reward above all else. Asking what will it do for me to fight? Will I miss chat time? Will I miss PC’ing with my whoever I care about this week? Those that respond when summoned, those that put ACP first, those few, make ACP the best army on CP, period. Those that don’t feel they are above a silly battle, those that don’t achieve a rank and feel superior to all those below them, those that will still get muddy with a fellow soldier when others are too good, they make CP what it is and make us proud. Those that leave the fighting to others but still enjoy those rewards not fully earned, those are what makes ACP the target of so many. The conciet they see, transforms even an old ally into something they didn’t want to become. They allow their vision of ACP to be corrupted by the few they see not caring, not fighting. They see the ones who would quickly ban those who violated a rule that they themselves just abused beyond anything close to the banned. They find the time to chat, but not fight. To curse and slander, but not defend ACP. I pity them, for they will never feel the vindication of being on the right side at the right time. To see those who should be proud and deserve their moment to shine, look no further then to Saint, Solraida, Meat , Stev, TB and few more. The best ACP has to offer in leadership. Look to the soldiers like Maxthepen, Bluey, Houndy, Axe, Yanks and goofy. They stood shoulder to shoulder and without break fought the battle for ACP and ACP alone. They are what keeps ACP alive and thriving. They and a hundred more I can’t name show what it in means to be an ACP soldier. I am proud to say I served with them and under them. I am proud to have led some, and proud to have been led by others. This war is not over. There is a chance for those who shamed themselves to rise up for ACP. But if they don’t, If they choose to remain as they were, I know a few soldiers who without question, or complaint will fill the void left and keep the ACP name proud and strong. And to those few, I salute you.
Major General Dryvit
