My thoughts on ACP at the battle.

I must preface this Post by saying I was not on till the end of the battle. I had been lying in bed nursing a horrid headache. Nonetheless, had I been there, is there doubt the out come would have been the same? No one knows.

Point being, we cannot judge ACP or even the troops available at the moment a practice battle was called. Troops come in all types. Our grizzled veterans, our schooled officers and our eager to learn soldiers. We cannot gauge ACP as a whole by the mix of soldiers on chat at any one time.

The ability to do that is staggering in the odds. What might help in the future,  is to view the available troops on chat, the experience of those troops compared to what the “enemy” has available to them to even request a battle. If we see our chat is  not full, and those on are new and eager but lacking experience,  the invitation will be declined.

The way to attempt to cure that experience quotation is to 1. Push ACPTR hard, 2. Run non stop drills and practices ( this will most likely drive many away), or 3. Plan and execute drill practices, and run Practice battles on a semi weekly basis. We cannot run divisional battles until ALL soldiers are in a division, including those  who joined an hour prior to any battle.

So to say ACP was pathetic is a wholly untrue statement by the mere fact of the odds of  a chat being filled with experienced soldiers at any one time. Perhaps the lack of experienced soldiers, ( our fault, not theirs) led to a pathetic showing. All in all, I just want the fairest light shone upon those troops that made the battle. It has been over one year since ACP lost a scheduled battle, I think that alone speaks volumes of this army. Thanks.

Saint: These pictures are only at the time of when we were actually doing well, IF you were there you would have known that most of the time they either outnumbered us OR we were similar in size.

Edit: In defense of our soldiers who were positive we did win, I finally found someone with pics, and they seem to support your argument.  Thanks Goodwill.

I don’t think we lost the battle per se, but the turnout wasn’t great, so we need to work harder nonetheless.  The low turnout suggests we need to work on taking orders from leaders other than me, and we need to be more committed to getting on Club Penguin as soon as possible.  We would have been in trouble if that was an invasion.

    Boomer: I don’t think we’ve lost since the Battle of Mammoth in early November 2008 just before I became leader.

  6. ACPTR is better than ever Dry,as its leader I can say our current staff is active. As well as our Active cadets. Why do i say that? ACPTR reaches a lot of cadets for each month. Our problem is,most of them,unfortunately,don’t care and just dont attend to events or even check the site.

    However,This is one of the best months ACPTR ever had,and i expect to keep growing it up. With this message,you officers,under 2nd Lieutenant that wish to become great soldiers and fight for Freedom and Justice on Club Penguin,I am not asking,but recommending to join us. Towards acptr is experience learned and even for our graduates,a promotion. I am making an exception for this month,and the Join page will be opened till the 18th instead of 15th.

    Great post Dry.

  7. I tink we lost if u guys would have been their earlier. It was like me saint and two others until all of u showed up. So tie would be good, but as saint siad we lost 3/5 0f the time

    Boomer: I usually say tie unless there is a clear winner, so I’m fine with that.

  8. i was there. i truly think we did alot better than we give ourselves credit for.

  9. I was very confused about whther we lost or not.

  10. We did win because acp clearly won by the pics

  11. boomer i am sorry my parants said i am not aloud on chat till i am 18 i am only 10 too so no more chat they said or i will get growded and no cumputer ever AGAIN!!!!! i am not risking that if you got i idea or something reply…

  13. BOOMER I AM NEVER ALOUD ON CHAT AGAIN MY PARNTS SAID I CANT OR I AM GROUNDED AND NO COMPUTER EVER AGAIN SO I CANT RISK THAT REPLY IF YOU GOT A IDEA!!!! plz
    moo

  14. I’m pretty sure ACP lost in a few unscheduled battles and one scheduled battle, back in May 09 against my Nachos. I don’t see why this us a huge deal. Everyone loses at one point in their lives.

  15. Is***

  16. even no i hate person i agree so wat IT WAS UNSCHEDULED!!!!

  17. xD I was in every single pic! And im glad we are doing some recruiting today 😀

  18. hey freddy here
    first off sorry about the headache dry those are killers. I am going to to another one of my hour long comments so get ready lol. On chat and on cp i see tons of new recruits on. there is one easy way to tell. that is who is on top of boomer ( not literally lol). Yes we do need to pust acptr harder. well not we cuz im not part of it but generals of it do. ur all doin a wonderful job cuz i go on it every day even though i am not enrolled due to my rank. i also see a problem with some of todays mods. Not all of them but some about 1 4th of them are bad role models. some of them are on chat and dont even go on cp and others choose to start a recruiting sesion hours before a pb or watever. they need to realize that they have to be mature. they were better soldiers as members but forget that good job to all of the good role models out there. but i think that acptr should accept everyone that want to join. not stop half way through the month cuz then ppl forget and dont bother joining. the cadets need to get a real taste of acp war and practices before becoming mods or leaders or even good soldiers but they need acptr leaders to do that and help them with that. but overall good jo to acptr leaders and cadets

  19. i thought were were going to loose agian but we won congrats all acp! we hAD GUTS EVEN THOUGH ST ISENT THAT GOOD OF A RMIE. WE NEED TO KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR THEM THEY SEEM TO BE RISING UP QUICKLY. GO TO THE CPAZONE.COM ITS ARMIE WEBSITE

  21. hey freddy here
    it is amazing to me that 1 post makes the diffrence. It really does shock me how fast u leaders can move!! ok its a little sad that im leaving one of my rambling speeches at 6 am but thats just how amazed i am that within 24 hours of this post an ACPTR widget was posted on the left hand side of my screen. i bet that more and more ppl will join bc of that one little widget. and also yesterday i was on for a little before i had to go and on breeze in the town. much better!!! we had more than 5 ppl this time lol. That is bc every active soldier that comes on this page reads this post right here and the leading and leadership one and the one wherer we lost or tied and they read what the problem is. If that penguin or soldier watever u wanna call them is a good troop that acctually wants to help ACP and all of our causes then they will get on cp….And they did. We were a little bunched but i mean wow that was amazing. But do u no wat really shocked me. Boomer wasnt on chat,not on cp,not leading, not helping. it was saint, then Thom but dry was helping but was having trouble getting on breeze so i dont no wat happend after that cuz i had to go but all i no is u leaders posting all these posts adding widgets for acptr is probalby the best effort and work i have seen since my first day here. April 5 09 was my first day and wow i was confused. I saw ACP oonce and i just joined and looked it up. then i joined on the site with no experience lol. But back to my point. U leaders,co leaders and all owners are saving our tactics with ur posts. The soldiers are wat really shocked me. Nobody barks out orders with boomer but u always here it well see it with like co leaders and stuff. None of that this time. I must add that Thom u did a great job as well as Saint And im sure dry did as soon as we went to parka but i wasnt there so still good job dry!! i saw “BREEZE TOWN NOW” on chat and then logged on and there was like 20 ppl already on. SO long story short. GREAT JOB ACP.
