*** Leaders, please edit at the bottom of the post ***
Well ACP, this is it,
I am sure that this will be slightly unexpected and come as a surprise to many of you, but I am afraid the time for me has come. I used to have the drive and passion to want to be the best. I wanted this army to be the greatest, I wanted it to be the best it probably could be, there were though, a few problems.
I became inactive at different points, which together culminated in annoyance for me, and the added pressure of having to come back on here and catch up with everything. That is something I don’t want to have to keep doing. I already know I have several things planned, for both this year and next, and I would have to keep doing that every time. This is not beneficial for either me or the army. As I have said before, I wanted to go down as one of the great leaders, I have lost this passion. It is no longer a labour of love to run and maintain this army, it is simply a labour. I don’t want to be holding up the queue whilst those underneath me work their very hardest. This army is a talent in its own, it can survive even the very worst, and I am sure that those who lead along side me, are not nearly the very worst, they are the best you can hope for.
I am split as to whether I could continue on, and hope that I live out a succesful ACP reign, but I do not feel the same excitement, the same enjoyment that I used to feel before a battle,or updating the site. I can at times be a very lazy person,and constantly dealing with 100’s of PCs and questions I might not know the answers to can get on my nerves, and I can voluntarily escape those pressures, which is exactly what I am doing now.
The time I have spent here has been the best of my life. I thank each and every one of you for enabling that. You are the greatest bunch of soldiers a guy can ask for. I am sure to many of you I am just a noob who had a short stint at leader and made a mess of it. If you feel like that, you are entitled too, but for those that do know me, I hope you found more within me then that, if not, screw you (D) xP
They say pictures speak 1000 words. Which would probably make this post have a higher word count than most others =P.
(Note: The people are not in any particular order, just the order I found the pictures in my photobucket)
Foxtails:
Always funny. You were always such a great person to be around, and that was agreed on by everyone. You seem to believe that you aren’t smart, yet you really do have a lot of intelligence, and if you really made use of it, you could be getting one of the best jobs out there. When people look at a person, they don’t specifically look at smarts, they mainly see the personality of the person that they come across, and see how much charisma they have. You have that in abundance, and I am sure that you will realise that this, your comedic side, and your intelligent side will all culminate one day, into somehting special. (:
Person:
A little cocky and egotistical, but a very very funny guy. You always seemed to amaze me with the level of your comedy, but you were known to be slightly pervy to others.. (wary) Every time you came on chat I prepared to laugh,and laugh I did. It is a shame that you had to leave and not return, whilst I hope you do, if not, I can live with it.. xP You have a real close call with Saint and Boomer as to most pictures =P
Dryvit:
A talented person, you were so incredibly smart, you are one of the most intelligent people that I know. I was shocked that some found you an incapable leader, but as always you brushed off their criticism and showed them their faults. I have never seen someone own so many different people in such a variety of ways, and I know very well that you will go far in life.
Motor:
Really funny guy, but fantastic Club Penguin tactical awareness and leadership. You honestly were the best CP leader I have ever seen. You explained things so well, the soldiers listened to you, and you had a great mind for Club Penguin. Too bad you had to bug the ass off me to try and get mod xD
Ktman:
I used to know you well, but since you left and came back, I didn’t see much of you at all. It’s a shame, you were a really great guy.
Saint:
The funniest girl in the whole of CP armies, possibly challenged by Fox. I didn’t know you that well on a personal level, but I could still appreciate how funny you were, as can everyone I am sure.
Boomer:
Fantastic leader. Fantastically funny. You were the all round guy. This army would have fallen without you, and has never seen greater heights with you. You should most certainly be commended for your efforts and you said in your first retirement post that you had to work to become a good leader. I don’t believe that you had to do much, you had great talent, and you still did work at it, this made you a truly fantastic leader, and the best ACP will have for a long time.
Batintrenche:
Really, really, funny. Im surprised I don’t have more pictures of you, but you became inactive, and eventually left for good. I wish you would come back to chat more often then you do,but I respect your choice to leave the way you wanted.
Uno:
Funny, funny guy. You deserve the rank you have now, and make use of your ability and dedication, as well as your comedy xD
Hatt:
The classic failer. You were also incredibly smart, but those fails can be classic. Like I have said before of others, it is such a shame that you had to leave and not revisit, its a shame that you cannot somehow telepathically hear what I am saying and come back to say goodbye (wary)
KG:
I can’t say enough about you. You were so very funny, but more than that, you were incredibly intelligent. You would do anything to disprove that you were ignorant, something of which nobody could ever accuse you of. I joined whilst you were leader, but we only talked recently. You could try to get into pretty much any profession and succeed, I wish you the best luck in life, not that you will need it.
Shab:
Thank you for your humour and your intelligent thinking. You were inactive while leading with me, the cause was something beyond that of which you could handle, and I bear no grudges for it. You will be the leader of this army, and you can very easily lead it to great heights, as well as being supported by the finest team of leaders money can or can’t buy.
Bluey:
We formed an army together, (a succesful one I might add) and we were always pretty good friends. You were fantastically funny and I wish you the best luck in life.
Tuxy:
Always a little high(wary), but a brilliant soldier on Club Penguin, I hope you are leader one day, and believe you will be.
Fiasco:
Really funny, can’t believe I only took one picture of you, but you were also a great soldier on Club Penguin, always willing to listen to orders and execute them first.
Klug:
Once again, I cannot believe that I only have one picture of you. We are BFF’s and of course I wish you the best of luck in life. You will most surely become a leader, and I hope for that too.
Twingy:
Always there and always a dependable friend. Trust me, you will go far in life.
Club Penguin Noobs:
Thank you for the game, no matter how much Disney has allegedly destroyed it, I wouldn’t be here without you, and I wouldn’t have met all the great people listed above. Also, thank you for the noob fails =P
Snowballpink:
I may have no pictures of you, but you are most certainly a future ACP leader. Your skill at executing and listening to orders is second to none, and your leadership skills with ACPTR are superb. Trust me, you have your leadership fans.
Bobcatboy:
Same as Snowball, you truly were one of the great soldiers, with a truly expert intellect. Enjoy life.
Dr Nono Jr:.
I hold no spite for the cooping back over me. Whether I would have done the same is a matter of personality, and I honestly don’t know, but I know the pain you suffered of having it taken away from you is really devastating. I wish you well in life, and your intelligence can get you anywhere you want to go, I am sure of it.
Flipper:
Ditto for Twingy.
Packer:
Packer! I can’t believe I have not ONE picture of you D: You and I were really good friends, but then you became inactive and eventually quit, but I will not forget you even though I nearly did in this post =P
All of ACP:
You are the rock solid foundation of this army. You make this army, the leaders merely work from what they are given, the base. You are the base, the leaders do their best to sculpt the base up, but without the base there is nothing. I thank you all for your attentiveness and unflagging loyalty.
And last, and least, Meat:
What you did to Boomer and Fox is not how people should be treated. It was despicable, but I hope you get on a right track in life and that you lead it well.
I have had a great 1 and a half years here, and I will most likely return some day. I will be on chat, and the thought of leadership will almost certainly entice me to come back, whatever position I am given, but for now I will look forward to a good old rest, and possibly an elongated break from the computer.. for the first time in well over a year.. (ono)
Goodbye for now,

Oagal: Well Ias, it’s been a good run. You were one of the best leaders since Boomer, and I’m honored that you led this army for the time you did; you will always be an ACP Legend. But more importantly, you were a good friend. Whether it was talking about rugby or running or Irishness, it was always a pleasure. I’m gonna miss you man.
You are being awarded the ACP Medal of Honor, and you will be the 15th known soldier to be granted the Medal for your fantastic achievements and unbending dedication to the ACP. *salute*
