Business As Usual

Hello ACP,

READ MORE FOR IMPORTANT DIVISION/SENATE INFORMATION!

So I am finally back from my vacation which went fabulously. I heard there were a few bumps while I was gone but we’ve overcome worse. Thank you everyone for remaining calm while I was gone and good job to Tori and the other leaders for keeping the ACP in order without me. About the drama caused by Kingfunks4, I do really apologize for my actions if I have caused anyone any harm. Tori and I (As you will read from this post) are trying harder than ever to work together, along with the rest of the ACP leaders. Might I add that we’re all friends and there really is no room for concern. There will also be no coups. If you believed there was going to be one then get your mind out of the political gutter. Read the rest of the post for the important stuff!

Speaking of leaders, some of you might have some questions about a new 3ic to replace our friend Slider568. Tori and I have decided it’s best to not introduce a new 3ic for now. If the 3ic’s are overwhelmed and we need a new 3ic we will gladly instate someone. Judging by how many leaders we have now, to balance the issue out, the next 3ic would be a European one. So if you Europeans are interested in 3ic, I’d work harder!

With that said, I had a talk with Tori upon coming on chat tonight and she filled me in on the news and we immediately got back to work. What did we do? Well we decided that without our dear friends Clint, Slider, and Noka, that it’d be futile to keep the divisions going until we show a dramatic increase in size. Therefore, we’ve gotten rid of divisions. Change and Splashy have been demoted back to General and the division ranks page is gone from the site. Sorry that didn’t work out, better luck next time.

The next thing Tori and I decided to do was finally get busy with the senate as promised. Most people supported the idea of a senate in the ACP and are eager to run for the senator spots. The fantastic thing about this senate is that EVERY SINGLE MEMBER WILL BE ELECTED BY YOU, THE ACP SOLDIERS! Tori and I are the Presidents of the senate. We can’t vote but we can discuss and introduce new bills. We also get a final say in the bill if it’s approved by the senate (Checks and balances see?). The Vice President will be an elected 2ic or 3ic. This person will have full control of the senate during meetings and will ultimately decide when meetings are. Another major responsibility they will have is controlling the senate during meetings. They will be the one to present bills to Tori and I if they are passed at senate meetings. The last big responsibility of the Vice President is to be the tie breaker if the vote is split half and half. Finally, we will have a total of ten senators. Five moderators and five members will be elected, however anyone may run if they choose. If you’d like to run for senator, comment with this in the comments below:
