Shab: I’m sorry to hear that your retiring. I will be staying to help out Saint and the new co-leaders until the end of june at which time I will retire. I asked for advisor to give 2 new ppl the rank of 2ic so they could learn. My rank will be advisor but according to Saint I will have the powers of a 2ic.
Edit: I just wanted to say that this has been my worst day ever. According to everyone on acp chat, i never deserved being leader, that i am mean to everyone, and im a freaking bully, well you know what? i hope you’re all happy that you made my worst day ever. i have no one ok? whatever, im sure you guys dont care. Go on with life….
OK, well obviously I haven’t been important enough to this army to be able to stay in it and not be replaced, so its my turn to leave.
I’ve done everything, and I don’t even think I’ve done anything wrong, intended on helping, maybe not enough for some ppl?
I don’t have much to say, just shock, and I am sure Shab is too. I wouldn’t doubt if he posts a post like this.
The only thing I have to say is, good luck acp with your lives, and new leader and all that, but dispointment to those who get replaced and helped to much.
Goodbye, ill be officially quitting on Monday when I am replaced.

Since Boomer is retiring, nobody really cared that Shab and Aber, after all they did and tried to do, have been cast aside. Nobody seems to care as much as do about these retirements as about Boomer’s, for he was the leader, they were just the two one-step behind him.
I care.
Shab gave me my first break in the ACP. He personally made sure I was on the ranks, and I am very grateful. He always tried to help us. Some of his decisions may not have been the best. But they were always made with good intentions. It’s the thought that counts.
I care about Aber’s retirement even more than that of Shab. Me and shab didn’t really talk. Me and Aber, though, were friends. I’d go on chat, and she’d instantly say “TYLENOL!” for that was my nickname. Now, one of my best friends in the ACP is gone. One less person to talk to.
Why don’t I retire? Everyone else is? Why not me? I don’t know. I don’t know why I’m here. The prospect of being leader, which seemed so real just a month ago, seems so far away now. Isn’t that why we’re all really here? Sure, we have fun. But we all want to make a name for ourselves. We all want to DO something worth while here. I’ve tried hard to do that. And yet, I’m still short. After about ten months here, ten months that could have been spent doing something else more productive, I’m still short. Why?
Because the odds are against me. Against us all. Not just in the ACP. In all armies. We come to be a leader. We come to do something worth while. Most of us fall short. We don’t stay to become leader anymore. Though we hold onto that thought, it isn’t that big anymore. We stay for our friends.
So, as I see my friends leaving me, my friends that have seen what I’ve seen, that have been with me through thick and thin, I wonder why I don’t leave with them. Say goodbye to this previous life. Leave it all behind…
Because I can’t. I lied before. I DO know why I’m still here. Because I still have that strand of hope. The one that keeps me believing that I can, and will, be leader one day. Is it logical? No, it’s not. Is it keeping me here? Yes. So no. I won’t be retiring. Not yet. But think to yourself: Why am I here? Once your answer to that is “I don’t know”, you’re ready to leave.
