One year. Wow. Its been a year since i joined. I remember it clearly. I had been following the ACP site for a month. Oddly enough, i had been an ACP hater until about 2 weeks before i joined. Heres the semi short version of the story. I discovered ACP and UMA through youtube around summer 2007. Naturally, you would have thought idve joined one of these armies. But no, i decided i would be much better off if i made my own army to terrorize the large armies of Club Penguin. What did i name this army? The Club Penguin Terrorists. Anyway, that army failed. Me and my friend Anchor Lad, still intent on starting an army, made an unofficial army on Parka. This army had about 10 people at its high point, and died off within a month due to the fact that all the soldiers removed me from their friend list. So i went back to being your average CP noob, and a few months later, Anchor Lad and i decided to make a new army. This army had about 20 soldiers that eagerly helped us capture the Pizza Parlor and held it from numerous Club Penguin agents. I forget what their called rofl. Anway, this army also died due to soldiers avoiding us, for whatever reason. We did have a war with some other guys army though, so it wasnt a complete waste of time
. My armies never got to fight ACP or UMA, which we wouldve been pwned by. Anway, i left my nooby friends on CP to make Club Penguin Music Videos, which are popular on youtube. Around the end of October 2008, going into November, while i was waddling around Parka, being a noob, i discovered some heavily armored penguins training at the Snow Forts. I asked who they were. They told me they were the Shadow Troops, and i became an unofficial member of the ST for about a month. They said that ACP was evil. This fueled my previous nooby hatred towards ACP, but i started looking at their site, and i discovered that they werent so bad. About 2 weeks before i joined, i decided that i would join so if i became leader, i could destroy ACP. I would like to say that these events occured over a year ago, and are not the reason im in ACP, for those of you who jump to conclusions. These are thoughts i had as a noob. Eventually, i just decided i wanted to be a part of ACP and i joined. December 7, 2008. Z.O.M.G.
If i were ever to say the most influental event that ive ever seen in ACP so far, i would have to choose The Great Confusion. This started to bring my out of my noob days. It was my first real major war i had seen in ACP, and i finally discovered that CP armies werent all nice and fun. There are some mean people in CP armies. I remember The Great Confusion very clearly. I remember the night that it was discovered RPF was trying to hack the ACP site, ACP declaring war on RPF, Commando being impeached for exacty 1 hour, the painstakingly long meeting of The Alliance that Boomer left chat to attend while we all tried to calm down, that ended up in just about all armies declaring war on ACP. I remember ACP Chat being hacked, soldiers having to find their way to the ACP Congress chat only to learn that they had to get on CP to fight off endless waves of armies. That was the most confusing 2 days of my CP armies career, and Person definetly put it best at naming it “The Great Confusion”.
I would like to thank the following people for helping me stay in ACP and for helping me get to where i am today.
Commando993 and the ST i met on Parka: You guys are the reason i started looking at the ACP site, and the base of why i joined this army. Thank you.
Boomer 20: Dude, if you werent leader, i might not even have joined. Even as a noob, i could tell that you knew how to lead an army. I also appreciate you for giving me my early promos lol.
Packer: Your probably the best friend ive made in ACP. You rock. Your stories inspired me to write mine and compete with you. We had so many great PC’s. I would love talking to you on chat if you ever come to visit, and hopefully i can catch you on facebook if were on at the same time.
Dry: I might have retired months ago if it wasnt for him. I was on the verge of giving up and retiring. You talked me out of it. I appreciate you for that, and i feel i never got a chance to properly thank you.
Blueh: Apparently we joined on the same day. We both broke the mod line together. We were both in Echo Brigade. We are bonded for life >D. The MCP was an achievement far beyond that we ever imagined when we started to make it, even though it was around for about a month.
las: Funny, funny guy. Another person i started MCP with. Your a great leader, and your Irish :O. You remember how many (goo) symbols were involved during the planning of MCP? Lol, thats what you get for going on ACP chat on a summer day.
All Echo Brigade Soldiers: Echo Brigade rocked. I dont know why. Echo Brigade wasnt the strongest brigade, we werent the biggest, but we felt a certain pride in being in Echo. As far as i know, me, Blueh, Snowballpink, Chapa, and a few others are the lone remaining survivors of Echo Brigade. Long live Echo Brigade.
Clint and Thebest: You guys were the best Echo Brigade leaders ever. You guys rock ![]()
Enn: Weve been friends for a long time. Before i was a mod. I remember one of the biggest thrills of becoming a mod for me was that you couldnt kick me for having a Red Sox symbol as my icon anymore xD.
Anyone i may have forgotten: Rawr.
