Turning Things Around/Signs of Success/Advertising

Please Read Draggy’s Retirement Post HERE. 🙁

SENATE REGISTRATION IS BELOW THIS POST !

This is going to be a big post, so bear with me.

For those of you who were around the last time I was leader, you know we were always doing something. We had at least one if not two practices each weekend, and I encouraged everyone to stay active throughout the week as well. Since I retired, we have had almost no practice sessions to teach tactics, and few practice battles. It’s time we start getting active again.

Many of you have had it easy for a while. You hang out on chat, and get promoted just for being on. Unfortunately for ACP, it doesn’t matter how much you are on chat, what matters is what you do for us on Club Penguin. For this reason, promotions will once again be weighted very heavily on your attendance of practices, recruiting, and battles.

We need to lay down some new rules to enforce the fact that we need to get active. Break the mindset that ACP will be fine if we don’t go on Club Penguin, because that didn’t go so well for us.

New Rule: Division Generals and Generals are responsible for getting ACP on Club Penguin for at least an hour every day (you can do two 30 minute blocks if you want) 30 minutes – I didn’t realize how opposed everyone is to working hard nowadays… This will be for recruiting and patrolling. If you think this is unfair, realize that when I joined ACP, we were on Club Penguin nearly every minute we spent on chat. That’s why armies used to be successful, and the lack of this has caused their downfall. So suit up, and let’s get this army going again.

Next, I would like to point out how well things are going so far. Yesterday, our hits total was 5,849! That was the highest we’ve had in well over a month. Compare that to the 1,776 we had the day before the coup 😆 . As far as soldiers goes, we had about 15 soldiers rejoin and another 10 or so join from another army, so that’s positive. On Club Penguin, we went from about 20 at an unscheduled event, to 35 at an unscheduled event. Chat has been loaded recently, and it’s incredible to see how many mods we actually had, they just weren’t coming on. Good to see we got you excited again 😀 ! We need to keep working hard so these numbers continue to rise though!

Lastly, advertising.

I made an ACP Banner, which you can see on the left sidebar. There is also an ACP Button at the top of the left sidebar. We need to spread the word about ACP, so if you own a site, please put our banner up and help us advertise.

Here is how to do this:

1. You must be an Administrator on the site you are putting the banner/button on.

2. Go to the site Dashboard and scroll down to “Appearance”.

3. Hit the tab, which should make more choices visible and choose “Widgets”.

4. Choose the widget called “Text” and drag it into place on the proper sidebar.

5. For the ACP Banner (see below), copy and paste the following code into the text widget:
