This is the end, the final retirement, my last goodbye. You will be finally rid of me Acp, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing only time will tell. I have truly enjoyed the 2+ years that I have been in Acp.
I have a few new people to say goodbye to. As for the rest of you, hopefully you are in one of my other two retirement posts. Otherwise I am glad for the time we had together and I am very sorry for not mentioning you. I will finish the rest of the my career below. The first two parts are on my other retirement posts.
1st Retirement:http://acparmyofclubpenguin.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/the-end/
2nd Retirement:http://acparmyofclubpenguin.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/and-now-for-something-completely-different-aka-the-2nd-retirement-of-shaboomboom
Here is the short version of my army career: I joined ACP Jan 3rd 2008 after meeting a few penguins on Mammoth fighting the Nachos and UMA. I soon learned that the two penguins that stood out were to be my good friends Boomer 20 and Peguin3157 (Did I get the numbers right?). I joined SSACP and got Top Spy and then soon I became Ambassador and Leader. At the end of August of 2008 I became 2ic under Kg. When Kg retired I ran for Leader and after making a deal with Ankita I won. Sadly Oagal tried to fire me. Soon Boomer 20 became Leader and I became his 2ic. I first retired July 3rd 2009. I returned in September after Meat was overthrown to become 2ic again but soon retired due to lack of free time and ambition. I returned my 3rd time when Dry was kicked out and Saint retired as Nono’s 2ic. After realizing that my time was growing short and that I wanted to try out a few plans I unfairly took Nono’s Leadership. Thus I became the ACP Leader.
I have trained past ACP leaders such as Saint, Dryvit, Stev, Ias, Matre, and Noka. I have caused 3 world wars, two of which were started to get me impeached, once by Commando, once by Person. I am satisfied with what I have accomplished and hope that more of you can accomplish and do what I have.
First my apology: I apologize for being a horribly inactive Leader. I wish you had all saw me when I was in my prime during Kg and Boomer’s Leadership.
I also apologize to Nono for couping him. I wish you luck and hope that you are able to reach Leader again.
The Thank Yous (These are just updates from my last retirement. Not everyone is on here that should be but there are too many to list):
Ias: You would have been a fantastic leader had you been able to stay. Thanks for making me main leader with you after I was couped the first time. I hope I made it up to you.
Matre: You have listened and followed me faithfully and without question. You are a perfect example of an excellent soldier. I give you the chat for you and only you. It is your choice whether you want to pass it on when you retire or not. Good luck with being the leader and watch your back, trust no one. I have sent you everything I have and if you have any questions email me.
Boomer 20: Ever since you started going out with all your GF’s we kind of drifted away. I wish you had learned your lesson the first time and manged your time better but sadly you had to leave. Good luck with your current activities and I hope to talk to you in a few years and find out what happened to you.
PS: I know this is stupid but I have now retired from ACP more times than you 😛
PSS: Thanks for giving me the Medal of Honor
Bobcatboy: You are a clear headed, intelligent person who I can always rely on to ask for advice or have an idea or post checked for flaws or mistakes. I feel confident that Acp will go far with Matre and yourself as Leader and Leader-in-Training. Good Luck.
Ps: I give you the title of Memo Man. Keep it until you retire and then pass it on to someone else. If you can, get Matre to make the Memo Man Medal. You are the 4th person to get it (Shab, Stev, Div, Bob)
Hattrick: I Love You. (No Homo) You keep me entertained on breaks and you always have something new happening. Good Luck. Keep sending me those guitar pieces.
Jediseth: “Insert BS Response Here” Just kidding you know that I consider you a close friend and that I trust you. Good Luck, you’ll be a good leader.
Dan Lorenzo and Sriv007: We have each helped each other throughout the years. You two have always made a great team and I hope to someday see you two as the first successful dual supreme leader team of Acp. I know that any one of you guys could take my place any day and no one would notice. Sriv…stop flirting with the girl…she is really a guy.
Jupiter aka Jet Nugget: You are annoying at times but you also proved yourself to be a good soldier. Good luck 😉
Buckley Beans: I have noticed you and I don’t hate you. You are an active person who listens to the higher ranks without question. You will get a surprise on Saturday :D. Good luck. I hope to see you get division general soon.
Noka: I hope the training is what you needed to finally advance in ACP. You are one of the most loyal soldiers I have ever met. Congrats about math, go out with the girl you like the most and will enjoy spending time with the most (Its more about personality, not looks, that will allow you to enjoy having the girl as a gf), and keep doing good in math.
Omega: Those arguments were fun, I just wish so many of them were not as retarded as they ended up being. If you practice arguing a little bit you would definitely be a good debater.
Icey: Turns out the mall is going to opened again 😀. Good luck with IW and you now get the title of King.
Luc: Good luck with ACP. I know you achieved your goal of making WW 3rd largest army.
Fox: Fox I will miss you. We used to hate each other but I am glad that we became friends. Thanks for being my BFF.
Draggy: I have no idea what to say….except that Ziggy can speak and your bird that I want to have for dinner can’t =D. See you on AIM. You have kept me from making irrational moves and have entertained me on boring nights. Your drawings are fantastic, if only I could draw half as good as you.
Twingy aka Tom: I never really got to know you personality but from what I have seen and heard I think that you have great potential. I expect you to become Leader someday or get a leadership rank by the end of the summer. Good luck and hope you had a good vacation.
Dryvit: If I could say what I wanted to say I would but since you will be screening this post, I can’t because obviously you would have taken it out. So much for my freedoms. You didn’t give me a chance to tell my side of the story, you had 1 set idea and wouldn’t change it. In my opinion, you were as rigid as meat ever was and you had no idea what you were saying at some points. I mean come on??? you didn’t even give me a chance to defend myself. I was automatically guilty. Even Matre’s solution was fairer than yours. O yes…other people were involved 🙄 it was still your decision to do what you thought was right and obviously backstabbing me and not allowing me to defend myself was your decision. If you believed me to be so guilty then letting me speak wouldn’t have changed anything yet you wouldn’t. Whats that say about your argument? This picture and song are for you:
Divotoo: No matter what your brother has said, I only lied to you about 1 thing. You really were suppose to be unmodded for unmod week and I let you stay mod because I thought that you would get better. You were too strict at the time. Your brother seems to crave power like so many and then use it unwisely to prevent others from getting it. I know he is your brother, but go your own way. Don’t follow his or you will find that you lose friends easily and gain many enemies. He might be a good older brother in real life but you have to choose your own path and have your own opinions. Chat is a good thing to use to experiment and see who you would like to be because you can see how people react on chat and then use that to determine how people would react in real life to things.
PS: I take the title of Memo Man away from you due to the recent events. If you want to know the full details come speak to me. It has been given to Bob
Motor: You hated me from the beginning but I never understood why. Even after asking I still was confused. I am glad that we could at least exist on the same chat together. I know you dislike being a member but you were a lot easier to work with when you were not a mod for whatever reason. Good luck with IOT.
Meat: I wish I had been able to get through to you and be able to teach you how to use the power that you were given. I understand why you acted as you did once you became leader. I don’t know if you realize this but after the coup passed I really never did hate you or dislike you. I just found you hard to work with but I realized that you did have a reason for being like that.
Katie Lou: I am glad that we met and we really are very similar. Thanks for trying to get me a Leader rank in Nachos.
Most of you know that I like to be direct, even if it is insulting. As draggy calls me her “favorite jerk.” Here are the people that I would have preferred to never know.
Oagal: I thank you for helping me regain the site when it has been stolen. I thank you for (mostly) not interfering with my leadership this time. The one thing I really have you here for is what happened at the end of 2008. I still don’t forgive you and never will forgive you for going power crazy and taking my spot as Leader away. I never got an apology or anything from you. Even now you act as it never happened. I know that you were trying to help Ias but you should have let Ias do what he wanted instead of trying to force him. You should have sent him emails and let HIM decide what he wanted to do. You shouldn’t have made big posts that allowed all the Leaders to see your ideas and basically try to force him to do what you wanted. If he was going to be a good Leader it had to be done by him leading his own way, not yours. Just give the site to the leader Oagal, it is your fault if you are taken off right away because you can’t just stay in the background. Give the site to the leader or to Boomer if you can’t trust Matre and move on with your life.
UPDATED: I was wrong about you. After talking to you I realized that I did blame you and hate you for the wrong reasons. I do realize what you were doing and why. I apologize that I have held a grudge for some long that was unfair. Because of that grudge I could never trust you which made me get people to chase you out of Acp at least once. Try to be a little less forceful when helping and good luck.

My Favorite Quotes:
Don’t take life too seriously; you won’t survive it anyway. – Roy Lent
If human beings don’t keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up. After a few months’ consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don’t keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working. – Douglas Adams (This is very true, hopefully all of you will realize this more as you get older. If not…then you must talk too much ;))
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss-Douglas Adams
My Requests:
–I request to stay editor on the site
-I request to stay an owner on chat
My Pictures:
My Song: The video is from the beginning of a movie called Apocalypse Now. Old movie but pretty good. The song THE END is by The Doors, probably written when they were on an acid trip. Enjoy:
You can contact me with your last goodbyes at acp.shab@gmail.com After a few weeks I will stop checking this email forever. If you know my personal email and aim please do not give it to anyone. Anyone who should have it already does. Hopefully I will not be on chat again after Saturday.
This is the end, my only friend, the end……
