Dryvit’s edit: Before our town lost electrical power last night, Boomer and I were in constant contact about whether or not to do this. It became more and apparent we had no choice. The circle of leadership was being pulled tighter and tighter around Seane with no air gaps left for any soldier to make a suggestion. Even the posts on the site were getting 20 comments at most when we used to get 60-80 per post. Our join page was down to a dribble from 15-20 on weekdays and 40+ on weekends. I had pc’s of soldiers saying they just quit, 2 last night. I hope they reconsider today. I truly feel this is the best thing to do for ACP. It was killing us watching it slowly die and all the while the circle drawing tighter and tighter. Long live ACP.
Edit: I just realized Dry doesn’t know yet, should be interesting…
New Chat HERE!
Ok, so yeah there was a coup. Believe it or not, it didn’t go completely as planned, there was quite a bit of improvisation and lucky yet unfortunate changes in plans. My apologies. While it did not go perfectly according to plan, it went about as well as a coup can possibly go. I would say the general outlook over the situation is first of confusion, then of moderate approval (just based on comments so far). It might take some time to get things back together, but the future looks brighter than ever thanks to the willingness of our soldiers (and leaders) to help us out.
ACP will remain as it was, just with some new (or rather old) faces at the helm. We intend to make ACP far more active, stay loyal to our allies, and above all, have some fun!
Anyway, we are in the process of setting up new leadership. The news is quite exciting actually. The problem is, we will have to revamp the government to make it possible. I believe it will be worth it however.
Keeping this short since its past 3 am, we have potentially 3 (count ’em) former leaders returning! Dry, who helped me set all this up, had agreed to be a Co-Leader in the new administration! Secondly, I was able to convince Saint to rejoin as a Co-Leader! Lastly, Kg expressed interest (though not definite) in returning either as a Co-Leader or a 3rd in Command! The new government could potentially run like a Council (though it would be a true Oligarchy). We will probably still have the two-tiers of leadership with 2nd in Commands and 3rd in Commands, but there will be more of each. Nothing is set in stone yet, however. I cannot give a definite number, however we will surely have more leaders than in the past.
The benefit of having more leaders is you can split up all the work and no one is doing too much. I have already planned out how to work the join page, and with more leaders, we will be able to accomplish far more than in the past. This style of government is still largely untested in armies, the problem being more leaders means more opinions. With all of the talented leaders we have though, I think it would be worth a shot.
Here is a rough outline (so far) of how we may be running the leadership (Note: These are Potential, we will not be able to have all of them, and Acceptance may not mean they will get the position):
Leader: Boomer 20 (Accepted)
Co-Leaders: Dryvit (Accepted), Ktman (Accepted ), Saint1119 (Declined), Kg 007 (Declined)
3rd in Commands: Tylov5 (Accepted), Foxtails (Accepted), Ennbay (Accepted), Dragon 720 (Pending Decision),
Senate Vice President: Ennbay (Pending Decision), Ganondorf787 (Accepted)

In other news, we will be having some practices coming up (we need some tactic training again), and if Kt decides to rejoin as a Co-Leader, we may be able to have his Divisional Practice War. Also, we have promos to come, as well as sorting out the leadership and government, dividing up tasks, and hopefully Senator elections. On the ally front, we will be returning Fjord to the Nachos, and I will discuss with some leaders the options for the other servers. I know I speak for all of the leaders when I say it is a pleasure working with you again!
Lastly, we have a new chat (actually it’s an old one) – xat.com/TheACP

O Hai Boomer. I iz in Nachos, but welcome back!
I disagree totally to this entire thing. You would think that having more leaders is only benefiting you, but do you know how long it will take for another General to become in the ownership spots. Roughly about one more year than they have already been here. Also, you aren’t thinking about other people, only people that you KNOW well. You should do a one month trial, maybe even two weeks of a highly expeirenced soldier yet a low rank (Any rank under the mod line) to be leader and second in command. Also another thing, Meat is doing a fine job as leader, we won a world war (Well a mini world war because those pussys quit) and we have secured a perfect alliance with the Ice Warriors. I think that Shab needed to calm down that night, not Meat, and that everyone ganging up on him made him stressed, only two people sided with him. Listen to my words please you won’t regret it.

Sweet, now I can see what being lead by Boomer is like xD
The only problem I could think of is the so many leaders might post on the site a lot.
I dunno, it seems kind of complicated with all those leaders. But alright, let’s try it.

Good to have you back Boomer. You’ll do good in ACP again.
with all of these coleaders, i think it will be too hard to get the job done in a way. i think we should keep it one 1ic, two 2ics, and at most 3 3ics. i hope you reconsider, because there will be more leaders then there are generals xD

i was at a party til one in the morning and uze was all arguin… whoa =O
You get rid of Nono and Matt AND Sean. Are you kidding me? Won’t ANY of you stay retired? It’s not even fair how all these 12 year olds and up get the stupid spots. Nono and Matt should get their spots back, the leaders can’t stay retired, and lots of younger people like Divo and I are what you think too young too be a leader. We’ve BOTh been in longer than Ganondorf. Nothing else too really say.
I like Tylov and am not trying to be rude but why is he a leadert.He seriously didnt even do a good job as Delta General I moved divsions because the delta generals were so inactive. Packer was the only person who tried to fix Delta wow and now a leader WEIRD how things work out!

I am there, and just fyi, i love the coup d’etat!
Was active, except i quit, so im not! and this felt like a sign of quitting acp, ive been feeling like quitting this whole month, but havent had the will, well this time i did! GOOD DECISION DRY AND BOOMER!
question, blaming everything on one guy? You guys retired to let new people lead,not to control them while they are leading, not to get angry at them, not to yell at them when they are doing something wrong, its called people learning there mistakes, and obviously, that hasnt happened to you dry,shab,or boomer 😐 so anyways, this is the concept that i am seeing right now. It is somewhat like a dad living his life through his son, except it is a retired leader, living his life through a new leader. The only reason why meat was impeached is because: Shab pissed him off, meat punishes him, shab has a hissy fit and complains to two other retired leaders, meat punishes shab again, shab gets even more pissed, boomer feels bad for shab and cherry picks pictures when meat doesnt look good, dry sees pictures and sides with boomer and shab, they impeach meat. The end… except then people get pissed at dry,shab,and boomer and quit (like me!)
