Champions Cup – Should we or shouldn’t we?

Amazing Training Results

Remember: We have to comment our response by Wednesday!

Hey ACP,

After looking around CPAC and with Funks talking to me, we have been invited to take part in the Champions Cup, CPAC’s spring tournament. The format for this tournament is a bit different from the others, and i was making this post as we have not completely accepted to join it yet. We are set to do recruiting/training for the next few months, and a tournament might not help us as we try to get better sizes.

Pro’s and Con’s of entering the Champions Cup

  • Pro – Tournaments are essentially made to be fun! We could battle different armies in the fight to be crowned the best army of the tournament, and it could be better fun instead of training and recruiting on our own.
  • Con – Tournaments usually end up in disputes, and make us lose size. We could just take a step back and train and recruit, getting ready to attack when everyone else had forgotten about us.. :mrgreen:
  • Pro – Publicity. Being in the tournament and possibly winning it could get more recruits from other armies who want to join the best army around, causing our size to increase. Also, at finals our size usually gets bigger anyway, as it’s an important event.
  • Con – A kind of negative of the previous point, if we lose in the tournament others may join the winners, like they ay do for us if we win, so we may get smaller and other armies may get bigger.

You may be wondering why I’m writing all these reasons, well that’s because it’s not up to us. You were the people who decided you wanted to recruit and train, so it’s your choice to change your original choice and train through a tournament instead. It could be better to train against other armies, or maybe we deserve a bit of peace and quiet after many rough months. You don’t have to make your decision just yet though, here is a bit more information about it.

As I said, it is a bit of a different style tournament. Instead of a basic knockout tournament, this one is going to be staged in GROUPS. There will be 4 groups of 4 teams, which have supposedly been randomly drawn. After that, there will be 4 QUARTER-FINALS where 1st of a group plays 2nd of a different group. After that, there are SEMI-FINALS until finally there is a FINAL with only 2 armies involved. Below are the groups:

GROUP A

  1. Nachos
  2. Dark Warriors
  3. SWAT
  4. Team Gold

GROUP B

  1. Army of Club Penguin
  2. Golden Troops
  3. Pirates
  4. Metal Warriors

GROUP C

  1. Ninjas
  2. Underground Mafias Army
  3. Doritos
  4. Water Vikings

GROUP D

  1. Light Troops
  2. Ice Warriors
  3. Shadow Troops
  4. Global Defenders

As you can see, the hardest group to probably qualify in will be GROUP A. Personally, I think ACP have been given the easiest group in GROUP B, but remember, we can never take anything for granted. GROUP C, to me, will be an interesting group. Ninjas are on a rise, and there may well be a tough scrap for 2nd place. GROUP D is also a hard place to qualify, with IW and LT with similar sizes, and ST and GD not far behind.

So it’s up to you, you’ve seen the pro’s and con’s (comment if you found any more) and seen our group which could be considered as “Easy”, would you rather take part instead of train and recruit? To find out, there’s another little form for you guys to complete. 😛 Remember, this is your own opinion and it shouldn’t be influenced by others!

  1. 1st i beat you all

  2. 1.Levandoski
    2.Warrant Officer
    3.Tournament
    4.Because I love tournaments in armys and we can get more soliders by winning the tournament

  3. We Should. 😀 Why not prove how awesome we are.

    • If it didn’t seem clear my vote was for tournament. Also, we can recruit and train whenever we want, in the old days when you were on chat you were on CP recruiting, training or fighting rogues. Even before that there was no chat and everything was done on CP. Use the weekdays to your advantage and train then.

  4. 2ND!

  5. 1.Thisguy10 2.Corporal 3.Tournament 4.To keep us from getting bored,and it’s fun to do tournaments in my opinion.

    Training and fun events
    I really have found the last few events that we’ve done solely as an army really fun. We should practice some new tactics and be ready to go to war once the tourney is over. Also, it’ll be interesting to see who wins without the ACP there.

    ^But that’s not the real reason. We just want to troll Funks and Blue 😆

  7. ACP Name: Mini17059

    ACP Rank: Sergeant

    Tournament or Recruit and Train? We should recruit and train first.

    Why: Because we had lots of battles for 2 months and we should have a break and recruit and train so we could do better.

  8. ACP Name: Kingfunks4
    ACP Rank: 3ic
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament
    Why? We need to show we are the true number one army, and of course because I’m the CPAC head.

  9. ACP Name mariosatr:
    ACP Rank: Captain
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament should take priority, but there might be a little time for training and recruiting in between matches.
    Why? Because we need to show other armies that we’re the bosses 😉

  10. Flipper, y u always changing picture at the bottom of every post 😮

  11. 1.ACP Name: Camplazlo3
    2.ACP Rank: Captain
    3.Tournament or Recruit and Train? i think btoh will do
    4.Why? since we can train through this tournament, it will help us alot, and get all those cons outta the way. and besides its only like once a week or every other week, so we could fit both. a good time to start training and recruiting is when you need it

  12. ACP Name: Leafpool51
    ACP Rank: Major General
    3. Tournament or recruit and train? : TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!
    Why?: Tournaments are fun! Besides, we need to show CPAC who’s boss.

  13. Group D looks kind of unfair…….. IW and LT………..

  14. ACP Name Xcheeto
    ACP Rank: Lt. General
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Recruit and train, THEN do a tournament. First we can get more troops, then go to a tournament with a little bit bigger sizes.

  15. 1. ACP Name: Antant98

    2: ACP Rank: Major General

    3. I say we could do both. Tournaments will help us train and have practice battles against other armies. Including the tournament we should train and recruit, too.

  16. ACP Name: Dunny Decker
    ACP Rank: Sergeant
    Tournament or Recruit and Train: TOURNEMENT!!
    Why: We want to prove were the biggest army in . If we just recruit and train we will miss out one of the biggest tournements in cp! And if lt or Nachos win they’re more likely to over take us in the top ten armies! We have to go to the tournement!

  17. 1. Empoleon7667 (Emp)
    2. General
    3. Recruit and Train
    4. We should focus on getting stronger and skip a tourny for once. It would also be interesting to see who wins without ACP in there. :mrgreen:

  18. ACP Name: Lime Pumpkin
    ACP Rank: Sergeant
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament!
    Why? Like Dunny said, we want to prove that we are the biggest army out there. Also, this tournament will help train us in many ways AND help recruit and the same time by advertising our name

  19. 1. Stew20
    2. General
    3. Recruit and Train
    4. For God’s sake, we win every darn tournament. Let someone else win for once, and when the tournament is over, lets PB them.

  20. foldez
    1st lieutenant
    recruit and train
    would be nice to miss a tournament for once and see who else is capable to win , we all no we are the best we dont have to keep proving it . l like stews idea too

  21. 1.ACP Name:Yellowie 25
    2.ACP Rank:Major general
    3.Tournament or Recruit and Train?Tournament
    4.Why? Most of our troops would like a tournament and we didn’t win the last CPAC tournament so we should redeem ourself in this tournament.

    • Also traning and receruting can get boring because we aren’t battling anyone but in a tournament we are battling armies

  22. ACP Name: Zipyman
    ACP Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament!
    Why? When we are battling in the tourney, we are training and we sometimes get new recruits, we are advertising our name, we could loose our spot in the CPAC Top Ten, and it’s also another trophy to add to the trophy case…

  23. 1. Cheesecan326
    2. ??? Corpral i think…
    3. Tournament
    4. Taco Bob says no meat (translation: we need to not only prove we are the best, but defend that title by winning every god da** tournament out there

  24. 1.ACP Name: Ericgarfeild
    2.ACP Rank: ACP captain
    3.Tournament or Recruit and Train? Recruting and training or both
    4.Why?
    Well we just ended a war. We have lost and gained soilders. Im guessing we should take it easy. And another part of me is saying. DO both.

  25. ACP Name: Darwin Huxly
    ACP Rank: Warrant Officer
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? I think tournament.
    Why? It would be excellent training for us, and if we work really hard, we can win it and get those additional recruits. It’s a gamble, but I think it’s worth it. Besides, we’re still the number 1 army, and at the very least we’ll make it to the semi-finals.

  26. tourney *wary*

  27. 1. ACP Name:CIAN130
    2. ACP Rank:MAJOR
    3. Tournament or Recruit and Train?tournament
    4. Why?Because i said so.

  28. ACP Name:Scoutmaster8
    ACP Rank:Colonel
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Recruit And train
    Why? We need to work on other stuff to get acp back in shape before we go into another tournament

  29. user: rikuns

    rank: warrant officer

    tournament

    reason: becuase its awesome! its gives us more battles to be in

  30. Cul
    Captain
    training
    Let other armies win for once *rage quit* Wee are baws like dat

  31. Name: Swimmerboy01
    Rank: General
    Recruit and train
    Reason: We need a tactical boost. We lose troops more than we can recruit now, and we got to get people morale boosts and recruit fresh new troops.

  32. ACP name: Pengy 38088
    ACP rank: 2nd lieutanent*
    Tourament or recruit and train: TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Reason: To show CPAC we should always be #1 in the Top Ten!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. *=I’m not sure if I spelled Lieutanent right or not

  34. Name: Money Guy 6
    Rank: Corporal
    We should because we only have only one chance and we can do training and recruiting anytime. It would just for fun and it’s like practice battles. And if we win it would boost ACP even higher!

  35. Thestriker20
    lieutenant general
    I think we should have the tournament because they always bring excitement to us fighting a different army each round. And either way we will still get publicity because our name is the ARMY of Cp which always attracts new recruits which can help us with our sizes. 😀

  36. yea one other question… why is everyone playing ACP teenager? i mean dont you have a life?…

  37. Calirolls
    Sergant
    Tournament.Why you ask?We need to beef up.I’ve constantly have seen other army leaders try to recruit are members.So we need to win that tournament so we can stop losing members to armys like THE METAL WARRIORS.And THE LIGHT TROOPERS.

  38. ACP Name: Slider

    ACP Rank: Head General

    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Recruit & Train.

    Why? We just got out of a war the dragged on for about two months, our tactics haven’t been as great as when we jumped into war and I think we need to have a bit more practice and take it easy for March, as it’s the best month for us to recruit.

    3.Tournament
    4.The chances of us losing are small, so more new armies and people can hear about us and ally and join us. We lost the Christmas Chaos and we aren’t going to back out of a tournament, are we?

  41. 1.ACP Name: Bttf2
    2.ACP Rank: Staff Sergeant
    3.Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament
    4.Why? So we can be number 1 and be the very best!

  42. Really? If ACP doesn’t participate, then the tournament will be less interesting.

  43. 1) Purple slime4
    2) Handpicked mod/Field general
    3) Recruit and train
    4) We have been winning lots of tournaments and it is obvious we will win, so why not give another army a chance too feel good too?

  44. lets do the champion ship it sounds good

  45. 1) paris5999
    2) sergeant
    3) training
    4) it is so fun i catch up with my acp freinds an doing new tactics

  46. ACP Name: Fiona387
    ACP Rank: Sergeant
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? Tournament
    Why? The tournament will help us get noticed, and it should be easy to beat all the armies. The only downside is, alot of ACP troops are in more than one army that is going to compete in the spring tournament.

  47. 1. ACP Name:pengy7778
    2. ACP Rank:corpoarl
    3. Tournament or Recruit and Train?Tournament
    4. Why?I want to support ACP in the tournament so they could remain the #1 army

  48. ACP Name: Snaily5
    ACP Rank: 1st Lieutenant
    Tournament or Recruit and Train? both
    Why? Tournaments can keep our skills strong and the exposure of ACP’s awesomeness to other penguins while playing in the tournament can be a valuable tool for recruiting. Let’s keep up the momentum.
