Noob Army Attacking Us: http://rebelnationcp.wordpress.com/
Edit: If you have not yet commented on the Active Post to make sure you don’t lose your rank, make sure to do that HERE.
Updated: Video added
I had been thinking about adding a sort of motto, a statement for why ACP is here, for a few months now. As I see my time running out, I will be doing everything I can to make ACP the best it can be. If you haven’t heard yet, I will be retiring in under a week. I honestly do not believe my time is up, but sometimes you just have to listen to those whose opinions matter more than your own…
These lyrics are some of my favorites, and I feel it matches our purpose well. Please pay close attention to the message. Mere words never meant so much as these did to me. It is a message that I have always tried to stand by both as a soldier and as a leader. I hope you do too.
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is our quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And we know if we’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That our hearts will lie peaceful and calm
When we’re laid to our rest
And the world will be better for this
That one army, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with its last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
See if you can tell me what that is from in a comment. Once someone has figured it out, I’ll post a video.
The first one to get it right was Motor20. Congrats! Here is the video. First, a bit of background…
This song was written for a play called “Man of La Mancha.” It is a story about an old man named Don Quixote, who is working to become a knight. He acts very noble and couragous, but because of his age and the way he acts, he gets made fun of. He is trying to get a woman whom he calls “Dulcinea”, meaning something like “sweet lady”, to be his lady (every knight needs a lady). She thinks he is crazy too, but he is persistent. He treats her like a lady when she is in fact a poor maid. She asks him why he does such ridiculous things, and his response is this song. From that point on, he seems to have won her over. At the end of the play, he lays dying, and is unable to remember anything about being a knight or his friendships with his sidekick Sancho and with Dulcinea. Sancho is trying to get him to remember, but Don Quixote appears to be dying. Dulcinea arrives and sings him the same song he sang to her. He begins to remember, and he, Sancho, and Dulcinea sing together. Suddenly, Don Quixote dies. The play has a happy ending despite his death, as Don Quixote died happily, remembering his quest and all that he had done. Later, the townspeople sing the same song to mourn his passing. It is considered one of the most moving songs of all time. All the comments are from people saying they were crying while watching it, and I have to admit I have teared up a bit…

“The Impossible Dream” by MAN OF LE MANCHA
I’m pretty sure that that’s 100% right.
*Salute* FRW salutes you, Boomer! You helped FRW and ACP become allies! Also, could you do somthing to help us? Active posts haven’t been working, and I can’t fire everyone whos not active, we would only have 4 people then!!! Also, Farsight is one of the inactive :omg:!
No, it’s not MAN OF LE MANCHA. It’s by Joe Darion right?
I hope so.
Oh Boomer, I’m sooooo sad that your leaving. You were one of the best leaders we’ve ever had. We’ll always keep you in our memories. Since your leaving, who’s going to take charge?
Boomer? who will be leader after you retire? can you stay?
It was a song composed by Mitch Leigh and made for the play Man of La Mancha. I hope that answers your question Boomer!
Really dissapointed your leavin Boomer! What you doin after you leave?
I didn’t know you are leaving! Thats really disapionting for because I just joined and I really looked up to you as a leader! Will you still be in the ACP? I love the poem. I had never heard of it before but it really sums the ACP and you up! Waddle on!
Joe Darion and Mitch Leigh wrote “The Impossible Dream”
I found a link to a youtube video with this song! I just listeied to it for the first time! It a great song! I will try to follow your example boomer! Youre a great leader!
oops i didn’t know it would do that! Sorry.
I salute you! That was very inspiring/
wait until he retires until you say I WILL MISS YOU BOOMER GOD he isn’t gone yet
GO ACP!!!!!!
On the post u said that u dont think ur time is up, but others do think that, well kick those others in the pants! Please reconsider retiring, I Know ur not gone yet but PLEASE don’t retire. I also think that that song is the perfect song for the acp, we should sing it in battles to spam the enimy :).
everyone will miss u boomer i i hope someone like u can take over and be a great leader like u
boomer, boomer, boomer.
cool. 😎
No Boomer don’t go I will miss you I am crying in real life
boomer,i cant belive your retiring,you were a great leader,we will miss you.I also hope that a good leader will take over. -ninja shodow ACP Major-
Boomer I don’t know the answer but…I like how you mentioned the hell thing.It reminds of what soldiers do.They walk into the gates of hell as they enter the battle field.And also for all those troops that aren’t active it reminds me of all those troops dying or dead.And you were a great leader.I will miss you.And sense I’m not crying is because u trained me to be a real soldier.But i will still miss you.
Your captain,
Happyman444~Good Bye Boomer 20. =( I’m still not crying im just sad.=(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Boomer if ur retiring cuz of wat I said, I didnt want u to retire or anything. I was quoting YourMother, ur a good leader. Whoever takes ur place is gonna have some huge shoes to fill. I hope u choose a leader that u know is gonna be active and u know that is gonna respect us the soldiers and be as dedicated as u were. At first I thought it was a rumor about how u were retiring. Can u give us a hint on who will be our new leader? Gosh, cant believe one of the best leaders in ACP history is retiring.
BOOMER YOU CANT RETIRE LOOK AT WHAT YOU ACOMPLISHED ITS TOO MUCH TO LOSE!!!PLEASE BOOMER PLEASE!MY EYES,I CANT SEE WHAT IM WRITING NOT THIS CANT BE I-IM C-RYING FOR REAL!
I will close this comment by saying you ARE the best leader in ACP,But if you want to retire,you will do what you have to do…
🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
=) yay go me lol
And ppl – Boomer still is acp leader so dont say goodbye before he does
I know you lot like him as a friend and a leader (so do i) But save it for his Retirement post where we can have a huge celebration for The great Person he is
Boomer, you were the best leader we have ever had. I will miss you deeply. I promise that I will never forget you. Goodbye.
Nice Job Motor on getting it right 😉
SO YOU SAY SOMEONE SAID SOMETHIS ABOUT YOU:”I honestly do not believe my time is up, but sometimes you just have to listen to those whose opinions matter more than your own”:WELL BOOMER DONT LISTEN TO THEM YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS YOUR HEART KNOWS WHATS GOOD AND WHATS BAD BOOMER,AND YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT LISTENING TO SOMEONES OPINION THAT ISNT YOURS,WELL LOOK AT OUR OPINION WE SAY DONT GO,LISTEN TO US FRIEND PLZ DONT LEAVE US SAD AND HEARTBROKEN,lol.
Remember the good times like:the practice battles parties,wars all of those stuff…
It will just not be the same without you,sir…
Good song. Good song 😉
a great speech …a great speech…….
Does make Shab leader?
Boomer… Please don’t quit… You’ve rose ACP up from the times when people thought ACP was dead, when Shab wanted to delete the ACP site, when everyone thought Oagal was a dictator, you stayed calm and kept us together. You’ve planned many great events and you definitely have the best grammar of any author, admin, etc. in the ACP, and we will miss you Boomer. It will be sad to see you go and I hope the person you pick to step into your shoes does as good as you…
BUT PLEASE… DON’T… RETIRE… I WILL GIVE YOU $2000 AND THREE SNOWCONES IF YOU DON’T RETIRE.
Seriously… You’re going to upset a lot of people when you retire… and these people who you think’s opinions matter more than yours are wrong.
Unless they’re your parents… You kinda have to listen to them.
wow the song fits perfectly for the CP army history for a simple reason Oagalthorp created another CP army when UMA was at the height of it’s power and controlled all the servers with and IRON FIST thats the impossiable dream and the unbeatable foe is UMA again basiclly this song would fit perfectly for when UMA and ACP were fighting each other from WW2-WW3
i guess 😕
I’m gonna start a song called we love you boomer
COPY AND PASTE FROM THIS POINT
WE LOVE YOU BOOMER WE DO
WE LOVE YOU BOOMER WE DO
WE LOVE YOU BOOMER WE DO

Boomer, you are the best leader I ever had and ACP ever had
I just wanted to tell you that. Plus good song!
Wow, that is very inspriational, sir. It is a great aspiration for soldiers and new recruits. I am discouraged to hear of your upcoming resignation but must remember you will still be a high rank in the army. I salute you, sir.
Hey some of my friends and I did a Raid agaist the Ninjas
Guys, Boomer’s 15. He’s not some 12 year old. He’s 15. Boomer thinks he’s too old to play CP. If he retires, I won’t be upset. I would just sit there and think of all the stuff Boomer has done to help the army.
He helped ACP be #1 army in the armies.
He has done more than anyone.
Boomer I respect any decision you make and when you retire, watch out for a long speech. :wink”
~Houndy66(Redrarehound)
i couldn’t watch any more after they all just looked and she started to cry..and i also started to tear up…it made me cry because i thought about my grandpa….=(my grandpa DIED in Vietnam.=(=(=(
Flapjack I read ur comment and it was Oagal who was going to delete it
Boomer great song and if you wanna leave ok cause its your disesion, I hope someone like you takes over boomer.
I can not believe the day has come when i salute you for the last time Boomer. I only joined because of how i saw you were a very good Acp leader and i will miss you dearly and I hope we can still be friends Boomer. I wish the best for you and my only thing i want from you is that you but this on your retirement post. ——– Lt. Colonel Cristiano50
Ohh I cried with that video a little bit. Dude I can’t believe you are retiring. I just knew you since 3 days ago and it’s because of you and how nice you were to me because I joined. I hope you can reach any dream you have in the future,good luck sir.

Good like in life boomer, your a lot better than that dictator oagalthorp.
Seeing how well you’ve lead the ACP, I suppose I was right?
I reckon that this: http://acpservericebreaker.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/acp-leader-analysis/#comment-124
… has definitely proven to be more accurate than this:
7. Boomer 20
Leadership: 3/5
Diplomacy: 4/5
Dedication: 4/5
Activeness: 2/5
Fairness: 5/5
Overall: 3.6
… that you wrote yourself.
😛
So basically the song means…your being stupid for doing stuff that’s impossible? Don’t delets this if i’m wrong.

It was an honor to work under your command, sir. The best Leader we ever had. You leave high expectations for your succesor from everything you did. I will not beg you to stay because you are leaving from law but I will thank you for everything.

It means you should always try if you know you are going to fail what you are doing or always try.. try to fight the things that are problems in your way even though you might not win! or always lead to the good side. Just saying the good side isn’t always justice.
Oh yeah will you still post things on the A. C. P. website?I want to say good bye!
Why do you have to go?
When I was reading those words I began to think about what it could be. It could of been a famous generals words before a battle, but the last words made me think.
Hey thats that HONDA advert that is really cool with a gr8 song in it. But I guess thats where it oringinated.
