With all the active patrols and recruiting parties going on Club Penguin, I think we need to clarify some items to save trouble down the line. ACP is set up like a real army. We have a top leader, Boomer, who in turn promotes other soldiers to work for him and lead those below them. This is really the only way it can work, or we would have 600 soldiers following their own orders on CP during battles, drills etc.
The accepted method of leadership in ACP is that of the real army. Highest rank leads, period.
There will be times when the highest rank cannot lead, at that point they usually ask who is next highest, as I have done at times when having to leave or am tied up on the site. There should never be a time when a soldier just assumes command over a higher ranking soldier on their own.
If you wish to lead a small patrol or recruiting party, ask the highest rank available if you may do so , then proceed to do just that. There should be no threats, or promises of promotion or demotions made. Those are solely decided by Boomer alone. Just take a note of who does not gear up for the patrol or recruiting party.
It should be generally accepted by the soldiers that only the highest ranks will lead a drill or tactic session. These soldiers are usually veterans and know the tactics and drills quite well, and are qualified to teach these skills by means of Boomers ranking them in that position.
ACP encourages all soldiers to be proactive in recruiting and patrolling of our servers. I have never seen a soldier denied this honor. If your a higher rank and decide to join that patrol, realize that it may be more efficient if you were to select another server and lead a patrol there. Lets try to follow these simple rules and make ACP the envy of all armies. Thank you.
