Icey Cold27: As taking advice from Oagalthorp I say we keep this post stickied for one day seeing as it’s mostly toward the owners and most of us have seen it.
Flipper: Oagal, I need to contact you as soon as possible. I’m usually on from 6 PM GMT – 9 PM GMT or earlier. Try and get on. P.S: Check out ACP’s little challenge..
Slider: Oagal knows best 😆
Bunker: Oagal, I had actually typed up a very similar post to yours on word, I was going to post it then I saw this **goo**, I totally agree 100%
. . . or, since you’ll be reading this—not hearing it—lend me your eyes. Eh. Just read.
I know a lot of our private posts talk about big important stuff, but that stuff rarely takes place. So I’m making this public so you guys can be held accountable. Anyway, on to the post.
The ACP is the greatest army in Club Penguin. I don’t care what some worker at CPA Central ranks us (even if it is Funks), we are the best. We’ve been busy with some not-so-fun stuff lately, which makes it appear as if the Golden Troops have surpasses us, but I can assure you this is not true. We got over 60 soldiers at the PR Destruction Party last Saturday, which is way more than any other army can hope to achieve. Like I said, we da best. Don’t forget that.
But we are letting our potential go to waste. Ken, Flipper: I know you two are trying, but you aren’t trying in quite the right ways. I want you guys to make a plan to save this army from a dark fate of contentedness and laziness. Here are the things you need to work on:
Site Appearance
Whenever a new or old soldier views this site, they make a snap judgement of this army. We have a great header and solid buttons and all that good stuff, but we need to work on our posts. First of all, you rarely ever need to sticky posts. If a post is stickied, a large percentage of soldiers will see the same post up and say “Oh, it’s the same post as yesterday. I guess there’s nothing new going on.” No. We don’t like stickies. Even for battles and events, you can make an official post and plenty of reminders in later posts, but DON”T sticky! Trust me on this one. Soldiers will be more active and more excited to fight for this incredible army.
Morale
I can’t stress this enough: we are the best. You need to remind the soldiers of this in just about every post. We take our usual #1 rank for granted; other armies would KILL for that honor. The soldiers need to know what a great thing they’re a part of. If they know how great their army is, they’ll be more excited about going to our battles. Then our battles will get even more epic, then we will be even better, then have epic-er battles, and so on. This is very important.
Too Many Events
This army won’t get more active just because we have more events that they have to go to. If we have an even every single day, going to these will seem like a chore. Battles and recruiting shouldn’t be chores, they should be FUN. So in your posts, don’t just give a time and place. Give a vivid and exciting description of how awesome that battle is going to be, and I guarantee you more soldiers will show up. Fun > chores.
Battle Preparation
Like I said, don’t just sticky a post with a time and place for people to show up. Have fun with it! Include multiple pre-battle posts, and make it seem like it’s gonna be the battle of the century. We have so so SO many inactive troops that would start going to battles if they knew they were gonna have fun pwning under the ACP flag. Also, add more pictures (especially battle pics).
Have I mentioned the fact that the ACP is the best army in history? Here’s why. We were the very first army, we have fought and won more wars than anyone else, we have consistently been the biggest army in CP, and we revolutionized armies and warfare as a whole far far far more than any other army or group. If you think that’s cocky, I’m not trying to change your opinion . . . but there’s no arguing here that the ACP sits at the peak of the CP army pedestal.
Now here’s a miniature threat: If you guys don’t make a plan to get back on track and to become better than ever, I will. And honestly, I don’t want to go that. I don’t want to come back and I don’t want to lead this army again. But You need to take a little more responsibility. Got it? Good. 😀

Until later,
March on!
Filed under: ACP |
1st
You weren’t the first army.
The ACP was made before Icey Fresh2’s CPA and before Tom Wolf’s Nachos militarized.
Jamesbond1 created the Nachos in July 2006. You created ACP in September 2006.
And I’m pretty sure UMA is older than both of us.
Lol, Oagal doesn’t know his own history.
And technically, the Color Armies did count. Even if they would be considered rouges these days, they are armies. ACP wasn’t the first army xD
@Pie: The UMA was founded in October, a little less than a month after teh ACP. And the Nachos didn’t fight in wars until WW3, which happened in late late 2006. Before that they were a club, not an army. Just ask Tom Wolf.
@Ads: I just proved I know my history better than you and Pie. 😐
@Dj: The modern definition requires the group to have a base of operations (ie. website, chat, etc.) before it is officially an army. The Color Wars were fought by what we call clans.
Oagal is correct, ACP is the first organized army ever. That means it was the first with a site of some kind and with centralized leadership. Without these two components, and army is merely a rogue group of soldiers. Sort of like a group of people under one name doesn’t make for a country. A country needs land and government, otherwise it’s just a group of people.
ACP was organized on September 29, 2006. CPA was organized on October 2, 2006, three days later. The Romans became organized later that week. UMA was actually not organized until January 8, 2007. The first post can be seen here: http://web.archive.org/web/20070528180654/pinkmafias.wordpress.com/2007/01/08/join-the-um-army-the-undergroun-mafia/ . The Nachos were not organized until February 1, 2007 by Tom Wolf. Don’t be so quick to assume you know everything.
Yay, Boomer inadvertently mentioned me 😀
Acp was the first ORGANIZED army with a website not necissarily first making their presence on clubpenguin though.
Also ACP cannot afford another coup d’etat, Oagal. ACP is on thin ice and we don’t want it to break, do we?
dude ogal isnt going to coup…. wow hes in highschool, maby even college, he WONT do a coup
🙁 Oagal I’m trying my best, but as a 3ic, its hard with the smallest amount of power a owner has(because I am the lowest owner 😆 ) but I love my job 😀
Oagal shouldnt mess in but he can give pointers (y)
How about you get rid of our inactive leaders and put actually active soldiers in charge. That’s why we are falling Oagal.
If it were up to me I’d have the higher ranks shape up immediately or they’d be replaced by newer troops who would actually be excited to fight on CP. But that’s Ken and Flip’s issue, not mine.
With Boomer, Shab, and Oagal around, the ACP owners are not having to do much, which is why many of them are considered to not be at their full potential or considered to be a bad leader because they are no active, etc. I think Oagal, Shab and Boomer should take a lesser role in ACP actions. Just my opinion and I know I will be flamed by SOMEBODY.
~77
Flame on!
I agree.
That’s right who cares about if u get flamed
I agree with every last bit 🙂
:/
Ever heard of the Fall of Rome?
to whom it may concern
i am not happy with the product i have received which was a time machine it clearly said on the box that i could visit Ezio from Assassins Creed but in matter of fact he wasnt real which tickled the kangaroos nest basically (me angry). Next was JFK it said on the box i could sto LHO from shooting him. But it turned out i was the guy who shot him WTF. fINALLY I WAS trapped in the time of SEAN CONNERY (Jamesie Bond) he said to me i was going to heleaven which is heaven and hell creating a paradox :0 he was i nice guy but i wouldnt invite him to my last supper because he will secretly turn water into blood screw wine because Sean connery was a vampire and starred in twilight as edward cullen who bar b ques children for his vitamin y, it is delicious yum yum. You people have ruined my religion my views on a paradox and what sicko eats children besides me therefore i have come to the conclusion to destroy nothing and fly to the moon to eat cheese,because the moon is made of EDAM cheese. Then fly to the planet Pandora and hug the natives and say ” oh yesh” then go to the planet of the apes and show them the true meaning of Christmas. And show what getting high is.
this story is REAL because i said so even though it made no sense at all, I still said it.
I am Leonard Nimoy signing off keep watching the Skies. (Derp)
Okay…
Oh, I’ve just thought of something!
This reminds me of the time when some mad Scottish woman made an account on Ebay, and sold me a ‘computer game’. When the box finally reached me it contained a video of her belly dancing in a kilt. It scared me to death and at the end of the video she screamed:
“*********************************************************************” (Note: This has been officially censored.)
I went into a crazy trance and when I finally woke up I had nightmares of mad Scottish women belly dancing in kilts.
That game cost me £1000.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
Flipper I would like to be placed in some rank that is inactive and I promise you I would be the best whatever. I’m so excited To fight with the acp and I have attended every battle with pr so far
Would you go away already? Theres too many 17 year old creeps in this army already. Good ideas though.
Oagal, i will not give up! i think ur right about that. Make things more exciting not sticky.
Agreed oagal
Great post!
Ive been away for 2 months and i have ranked but nothing much has changed about this army since it first started.
ACP is the best army ever!!!
I am particularly unhappy with the activeness of Ken and Flip.
Oagal created this army, he can.
Dun, dun, dunnn. x3
It was said in an old ACP post in the Archives that the Indy11’s CPA was the first ever. It was created in November 2005. The earliest. It did rise but it’s doing really badly now: http://cpasite.wordpress.com/
ACP Boot Camp got hacked, if anyone can restore it that will be awesome, please help! Thanks! -Ebido
There is a new ACPTR site!
Can you post the link? Thanks
http://armyofcptrainingregiment.wordpress.com/
ACP forever!
Orgal, I will have to agree with you.
And if I was not Blind, I would lead this Army into a New age of Active Troops, and great leadership.
But, No one wants a Blind guy.
If you ever need help with anything, my E-Mail taged to my wordpress, is one I use alot.
Just contact me, and I will help you out man.
And Boomer, it is nice to see you again.
XD
BTW: I listen to Post, sense I am blind, and I use a Screen Reader. Think! SCREEN READER…. Reads in speech, to me, what is on, the screen….
Look it up on youtube.
Look up, the following.
Jaws For Windows on youtube.
NVDA on Youtube.
Window Eyes on Youtube.
Their is a few ways I use a Computer.
Well, besides lending my Ears to this post, I will also mention, If we get Rid of all the Inactive Solders, Fix up the Divisions to where they can be devided into groups like,
Starting with Divisions.
Division
Bragade
Regiment
Company
Platoon
Squad
And if we use the Rank System Like what I got for KT Man’s Army, we would have a more effective Rank system.
cpsaints.wordpress.com/ranks
This has the Rank system I gave to KT Man.
This is used for the U.S. Army, and is a real Rank system.
If we devide the Divisions like I showed you here, and use the Rank system I Maid for Kt Man, and scraped the Inactive Solders & Leaders, we would have a more Efective Military, a Real Division Break up System, a Proper Rank System, and we would have All the Active Solders on Ranks, Instead of Inactive.
~Lincoln31543
Lincoln, you a truly inspirational. (No joke)
Not gonna lie, this Is a phenominal post.
Indeed. It is, a outsanding one at that.
But, why forgeting the Most impartant part of the ACP?
Stragity & Stealth!
We need to be great with Tactical Stragity, and Stealth Tactical abilities!
That is what makes me mad.
Orgal, you should remember, to think over all details of a post, then think of things like Stragity, Stealth, Strategic Perpouses, and encurage Leaders to do on the Spot thinking, when thinking of Tactics.
If a Tactic does not work, the Leaders should have the ability to have on the spot thinking, and be able to come up with War Tactics, right their and then. Not when the Battle is over, but when it is going on.
If we just get rid of our Inactive solders & Leaders, and we build up a proper Rank System, we could have a more effective Military.
And honnestly, If it where up to me, and I was the Leader and I was InActive, I would start looking for proper leaders, and once that is inplace, I would step down.
If Kenneth & Flipper are Inactive, why don’t they step down, and let another Solder Run?
Personally, I can come up with 3 or 4 good Leaders for the ACP, and I will tell you, they are Active.
Foxtails.
KT Man.
Bird Pingu.
Some Random Person I met at Taco Bell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These people can do a great job at leading!
Even that guy from Taco Bell……
He might smell like a Fat guy Engorageing him self with Tacos, Beratos, Nachos, Pepsi, Taco Salades, 4 Taco Surpremes, and a Big Mac from McDonalds, but I bet he has Military Exparence, and could lead…..
I just gotta wait for him at Taco Bell to ask him, but I will only do that if you ask me. XD
~Lincoln31543
P.S. Don’t make me ask that person from Taco Bell! XD
you are right it is!
And By the Way Orgal,
I am BLIND!!!!
I have to use a program on my computer that makes the webpage or the desktop, or whatever is on the screen talk!
So I am lending you my ears. XD
Remember some of us if not, only I can hear you. XD
Thats like blameing the Blind guy saw the whole Robbery at the Bank.
Officer asking Kenneth1000: “Did you see what happen here at the bank during the robbery?”
Kenneth1000: “No. But the Blind guy saw everything! He saw it all! Right Lincoln?”
Lincoln31543: “Yes! I did see everything! I regained eye sight eventhough my eyes are covered with sun glasses, and I am blind. I saw who robbed the bank.
It was that guy! It was what ever his name is!” (Points at a House Plant)
Lol. How did you loose your sight Lincoln?
I lost it to Glacoma.
It is where the Blood vesal berst in the eye, and the Chamber fills with blood.
The doctors could have saved it, but they put it off for to long.
So, I could be able to be on chat right now. XD
I lost my eye sight, when I was in my 2ND year of the ACP.
I left as a LT. Colonel, and came back as a Warrant officer.
Sense I have been back, I have maid it to Second Liutanate, but I am pushing to get an Editor sloat here, so I could be more useful.
Heck, I could edit Ranks and have no problem! XD
I got a Screen Reader to read to me, and I can fix up Ranks in a Proper order.
But, tell I reach that Rank, I am probably gonna stay a Second Liutanate.
Or if I get Premoted, I am probably, gonna be a First Liutanate, Captin or Major.
IDK, but atleast I will be somewhere up their in ranks.
But dude, I was here when Drivit was a Owner Rank, When Boomer was Leading, and the Nation was Strong. It was back before Kenneth, before the Nacho war, came along.
It was when Coke was still cola, and a Joint, was a bad place to be.
It was back before Meat, Before World War 5.
I was their for all of that.
Tell Tuesday, December 23RD, 2009
That was when I went blind.
The last Chat I was on, wat a Chat owned by one of my friends.
I said my good byes, and I logged off.
I tried to come back, but….. I could not help do anything…..
But, I am here to try and help to my abilitys, and give 110% to the ACP.
But, I just can hope for the best…
I was here, when Saint was still leader, and when IATW was a problem.
I was here to see Countless wars with Nachos, Countless Bannishments on chat, and soo many other things.
I was here when Meat got banned forever, and I was here when Club Penguin had a Music Jam, and their was Bots on the Ice Berg on every server.
They where lookalikes of the Penguin Band.
I was even their for the Storm Trooper Battles and such.
But, before you go and call me a legend, or something, let me tell you this.
The Real heros where the Privates, Corporals, Sargents, and Staff Sargents who did the fighting.
their was solders that never got reconized for what they did, and their was some, who never got a Premotion, in 5 Months.
But, they did this, for the ACP.
If that is not love for Country, IDK what is then.
It was the Noobs, as most Leaders would call them.
I was one.
I was proud of it.
I even ask 5 or 6 Different Premotion days, to be Demoted.
I asked Boomer, Dryvit, and Meat.
They would, but after like the 5th or 6th, they would not let me.
I tried to be Demoted, because I wanted to stay the way I was.
I never liked officer Ranks.
and now, I am a Officer Rank.
I am a Second Liutanate.
I sometimes feel, like I have lost my real self.
Heck, I asked Boomer for Tips on how to get DEmoted!
I did not wanna leave Corporal Rank.
IDC if I was called a Noob by Foxtails, or Nokia, or Meat.
I did not care.
I asked that, because we where the ones who did alot of Recruiting.
Patroling, and all sorts of stuff!
I got 12 solders MAX at one Recruiting/Patrol session.
I even would Patrol For ACP when I was busy with my army.
But, I guess I should start sucking it up, and make it to that Editor Rank….
As much as I hate it, I dont wanna go up in ranks.
I really wanna be a Corporal, or a Sargent.
But, I guess we can’t get what we always want. huh? 🙂
