Hello.

I will be on September 13th at 6 – 8pm for the LoK premiere.

You all know me as Slider568, a best friend, a friend, an old retiree, an enemy, or a hated douchebag. This my friends is my response to Capn’s post. I’m going to assume you all think I’m a heartless monster and I spend my free time terrorizing children with no self esteem after reading that post and Tori’s response and a few of the comments but I’m not and I suppose some of you will trust me, some of you already knew that and others will keep their opinions of me forever.

I’m not going to say I’m innocent, framed, and I’m certainly not a white knight in all of this but I don’t support bullying. I was a social outcast in middle school and bullied every day for three years and it was bad too. I skipped school (after begging my parents to agree) because I just needed a break and I look back on those years with shame and grief.

Not because of anything personal, and no I am perfectly normal but I went through an awkward stage. Everyone does at one point. Since then I’ve become much more popular, started caring about my appearance more, matured, and yes began following trends (it does in fact help you fit in) But what happened on ACP chat last night was not my best moment and certainly proved I’m not as mature as I thought I was.

To Snaily I apologize, I shouldn’t have taken what I did that far but don’t let RPF be mad at ACP for my actions. After a long time of consideration I’ve come to the conclusion that many of you don’t like me like you used to and I’m not welcomes here anymore and thats why I’ll me taking my leave. As of August 26th I won’t be coming on chat anymore except for a few visits.

I’m still going to be an ACP advisor and contact Capncook with my opinions on ACP chat or via email. But I also have opinions on this zero tolerance bullying policy ACP has taken up. I think it’s good that ACP is working on stopping bullying on ACP chat because cyber bullying affects everyone a different way, some people ignore it, some people can’t care less, but some people it’s too much to handle maybe because they’re going through a tough time or maybe it’s because they get bullied in real life. To CPAC: I’m still going to be judging tournaments with you. 😉

But zero tolerance makes things that normally wouldn’t be bullying bullying and it kinda ruins the joking around we used to do. So my advice is think “is this really bullying” because not a lot of people on ACP chat are known for not being serious. I’m not condoning bullying but I’m just saying don’t take everything seriously.

To anyone else I may have offended I’m sorry and I understand when you don’t forgive me. I’m truly ashamed after everyone reacted as they did and I don’t blame you if you hate me. Every now and then I seem to take things too far and this is one of the times were I’ve hurt and offended someone that I really shouldn’t have. Any hateful comments on this post I do deserve and I’m not going to be angry if you’re angry with me. You have every right to be.

For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

Hello ACP,

You wouldn’t believe how infuriated I am at the amount of bullying I witness on the ACP chat. This immaturity has caused us to lose so many new recruits and potential leaders. It has caused us to lose once great friends and now bitter enemies. Do you think it’s fun for some people to cry because of an online game that they have put so much time and effort into is now treating them like complete garbage? I sure don’t and I’m sure the people being bullied don’t appreciate it either. The worst part is the owners are just as guilty as the moderators and members.

THE SAME OWNERS that are supposed to be role models, the ideal soldiers and most well behaved personalities on chat are now causing people to feel seriously in trouble. This is a game for crying out loud, not a pre-school. Owners, you need to get a grip because if any one of you are caught bullying again, you will lose your ownership for a week. Mods, if you are caught bullying, you will lose your modship for a week. Members, if you are caught bullying, you will be banned for 24 hours. Do I make myself clear?

Cas, Light, retirees like Slider, you are certainly not exempt from this. I am embarrassed that I even have to say your names in such a post to convey this point.

I sincerely apologize to those who now see the ACP chat as a hostile environment and are afraid to come here as a result of bullying. I promise you however that you will not have to deal with this any longer because Tori and I and so many others have simply had it with this horrible behavior. I hope one day you can learn to trust the ACP chat again, and I hope more people are turned on to coming on to have friendly conversation like the old days.

-Capncook & Tori

(P.S. Leave this post stickied for a day or two and I expect lots of comments and apologies over the next few days)

Tori: I completely agree with Capn here. Although, I’d like to add a few things to show you how bullying can affect people, and say a few things about this topic. It wasn’t easy to witness a victim of bullying being brought to their breaking point. That victim was my brother. Long story, short – My brother was bullied to the point where he came home crying, and saying that he wanted to end his life. Not long after that, he said some things at school and ended up not being able to go home that day.

I waited for a few hours in the school office, only to find out that my brother was going to be sent to a mental hospital. He stayed there for a week. This isn’t because he is “crazy, has mental issues” or whatever. This was because he was bullied to the point where he has had enough, and wanted to end his life. This just shows how words can affect people. The saying, “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” is completely false. Words do hurt. I mean, you must have such a perfect life, if you think you can pick on someone who doesn’t have one. Honestly, this generation is what makes me sick.

Put yourself in other’s shoes to get a better understanding of what their life is like, before you decide to pick on them. I bet you probably wouldn’t even last a day in their shoes. Yeah, sure. You may feel so confident and tough when you’re behind a screen, and miles away from the person; but how would it feel if you were the reason someone killed themselves? How would you feel if you were the reason someone cries themselves to sleep every night? Think about it.

 Hello ACP! Today we had a recruiting session on Snow Day, we maxed about 20 and averaged 15-16, and we had INCREDIBLE tactics. Today was my time to shine I led the whole event I am so proud. Rather than telling the rogues on CP to go visit us on chat or to join us, we focused on showing the rogues what we are all about like we use the clover emote for our main emote and we are green so click “Read More” for pictures from me & Tori.

Hello ACP,

                    As scheduled, we logged into Avalanche for a recruiting. We maxed around 20 there so good job. Then Elmikey gave me a call and asked for us to go to Mammoth for his restoration project, a fun little practice battle. I shouldn’t say little actually, it was HUGE AND IT WAS AWESOME! So thanks RPF for the fun time, let’s get more people in on this next time then it’ll be even better. As for the ACP, I only took three pictures because we didn’t need to have that many, we didn’t do any tactics during the RPF battle. Good job to those who came, I don’t appreciate the laziness of those that skipped out on the event. Don’t complain about the army’s size when you yourself are the problem.

Hello, Comrades!

When you see something weird flying in the sky, do you always think of Aliens? Well, I guess Giorgio Tsoukalous can answer that.

Smart guess, Giorgio.

Hello ACP,

CLICK READ MORE FOR MANDATORY EVENTS!

*PB WITH DCP MOVED TO THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, STILL AN OLD SCHOOL BATTLE*

                   After suffering heavy losses at the flippers of our now former enemies the AR and UMA, we must use this as a lesson. There will be no more laziness and no more inactivity. We’re going to work hard so we can play hard later on. We are going to start putting 110% effort into the ACP and we will not let this happen ever again. This is the generation of the ACP that has caused so much disappointment and shame for the army, but this is also the same generation that can turn it all around in the blink of an eye. The harder we work, the more unified we are, the more fun we have while working, it will make us the number one army again, this I promise. The only thing you have to do is stop being lazy, stop complaining, and get to work. Also, we’re having a new “system” where there is a recruiting event EVERYDAY and a second event every other day. The second event can be a training, PB, etc.

Just a quick note, there will be two members given tempmod after each event, and one mod given tempowner after each event. It will be random, good luck.

Now for the events:

Hello ACP,

                    Tonight after much confusion, the Rebel Alliance defended Bubblegum against the UMA and AR forces! Good job. ACP maxed 20 alone and around 35 with our friendly forces (20 for CPAC’s reference). Let’s get to those pics.
