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. 😀
