Army of Club Penguin

Upon reopening the old ACP email, I discovered a message from May 6 sent by then Major General Dryvit.  This email was sent during the major war we had with the Nachos back in May.  Its contents reminded me that in my absense, Saint took over the leadership of the battles in a time of turmoil, despite being only a 3rd in Command, as other leaders failed to leading the troops through the war.

I would like to share the email as a snapshot of the moment rather than rely on my memory of what went on 6 months ago.

When Fox informed us your unfortunate banishment, we all thought, been there done that, we will survive. Then came the war. I will admit fearing the unknown without Boomer leading the way. But we had Aber, Shab, Sol and Saint to guide us through. Boy was I wrong. Aber never cared about the war but somehow managed to always be on chat, being, well, Aber. Sol declared himself neutral. How the leader of a major army can declare himself neutral in a war against everyone else is beyond me, but I guess that’s a conversation for another day. Now to why I took the time to write. Boomer I am not sure I can even do this under the rules but in case I can, I formally nominate Saint for the Medal of Honor. Saint stepped in during your absence when others chose to step away. The first few days of the war she fought for hours leading charge after charge to fend off nearly every army on CP. Chat would be full, and just a handful of us led by Saint fighting the battle. Somehow we managed to keep Snow Fort. Then came the big invasion. No one wanted to fight for us. I tried to recruit everyone on chat, even the retired members with no luck. They saw the mass of Nachos and their allys waiting. Saint took the lead and off we went. I am not saying she hit the first pitch out of the park, she fouled a few off at first. The first hour it looked hopeless to be honest. Then it changed. Saint became like Boomer Jr. She took real command, she refused to lose. And the troops responded Boomer. They followed commands, she sent patrols to find and counter the enemy forces. She divided by division, to fight on several fronts. She really made things swing our way. Boomer we both know she didn’t do it all alone. She had great generals like Stev, Meat, and Thebest, to trust with her orders and they responded. Some how a rag tag bunch of green penguins held off the world and achieved what I consider a victory in a draw. What seemed so hopeless, was suddenly a celebration. To all those who refused the call to defend ACP I say shame on them. I do not know the criteria for awarding the Medal Of Honor on ACP, but Boomer, if you asked me to write what it should take to earn it, I would simply point to Saint’s actions in your absence fighting the ACP against everyone war.

Thank you Boomer,

Dryvit. Major General ACP.

The Medal of Honor is given to all troops in the ACP that show exceptional dedication, bravery in battle, and help in any great way necessary. The ACP Medal of Honor is the greatest award in Club Penguin military.

~Oagalthorp

Traditionally only awarded by Oagalthorp himself, the Medal of Honor has been the highest honor for an ACP soldier since it was first awarded to a group of loyal soldiers on February 18, 2007.

For this act of leadership when it mattered most, I am proud to award Saint1119 a long overdue Medal of Honor. With it, she joins the ranks of the finest soldiers in ACP history, names like Oagalthorp, Koolaidman7, David Shawn, Goozgooz, Gorond, Us Soilder, Lt Giovanni, Penquin Jim, Orcacam07, and Boomer 20.  Congratulations Saint, you deserved it.
