Handsomely Arrives: ACP’s Newest Commander Ugly

Posted on February 5, 2024 by Ugly

Addressed to the Army of Club Penguin

6 months ago, I joined the Army of Club Penguin with 1 goal, to reach the top no matter what. Today, I am honored to finally take a step further in my journey, and become a commander in the Army of Club Penguin. This wouldn’t have been done without the immense support of my good friends in the staff team and leaders and of course the community.

First and foremost, I would like to congratulate us once again on our recent tournament victory in the New Year Bonanza which saw us dominate once again and bring home another trophy. I consider myself fortunate to have been one of the leaders of that tournament, and I feel extremely honored to have won the trophy along with my army. I would like to express my gratitude towards all the staff and HCOM who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, as well as the troops who gave their all during the battles. This trophy marks another achievement for the Army of Club Penguin and demonstrates our continued success in the army community following the great year of 2023 that ACP experienced. For me personally this trophy acts as a huge development in my army career, having to win the last edition of the New Year Bonanza while leading the Fire Warriors, and now winning the current edition under the Army of Club Penguin.

It is my honor that today I get to be one of the new commanders in chief who will get to continue the legacy of the Army of Club Penguin after the elite triumvirate of Calgocubs21, Austinfraud, and Coolguy. Of course, and for many people, the news of my good and old friend Austinfraud being officially retired from armies is really saddening as I was really hoping to finally get to lead with him one last time, as he was one of the few people that have been there with me from the very start and still are today, and is one of the great leaders that made ACP reach heights in 2023, setting a good example and making me and a lot of people look up to him and hopefully one day reach the glory he reached, all three of them also being nominated for Legend Inductions which is the highest achievement possible and of course, Calgocubs21 being inducted as the only legend of 2023.

Ever since my decision to join the Army of Club Penguin last year, which is right after a year’s hiatus and a past full of rocky roads, I knew the road ahead would be anything but easy. I had a vision in my mind, I always wanted to be the first, the best, the number 1 at everything. That hasn’t changed today and will also not change further. If you were to tell me when I first joined who out of all the experienced staff and HCOM that were there after the last leadership induction would become the 51st Leader of ACP, the last person I would’ve thought of was me. I had the privilege of being under the elite triumvirate of Calgo, Austin, and Coolguy in the year 2023. Their leadership and achievements have served as a great source of inspiration for me, prompting me to reflect on how to replicate their success. Their guidance and mentorship have undoubtedly played a pivotal role in shaping my army’s growth and development. I managed to accomplish many things as a moderator such as Recruiter of the Week and of course, get promoted to Higher Command very quickly.

As a Moderator, I had many plans and ideas to implement, but due to things going fast and of course, being far from the leader role, I wasn’t able to implement them. However, I did my best to assist the army during the Legends Cup XIII by sending tons of DMs and providing help in various ways, which led to me becoming the top DMer and granting me a promotion quickly. With great teamwork from the staff and high command team, we were able to win ACP’s first Legends Cup trophy. I have immense respect for the team’s hard work and determination, which earned us the most prestigious award in Club Penguin Armies. There was a very good environment around, and you could feel that we were working as a family. This experience taught me a lot and gave me a better understanding of the philosophy and thinking required for leadership and team management. I would like to express my gratitude to Calgo, Austinfraud, and Coolguy for trusting me, mentoring me, and contributing to ACP’s success and achievements.

For people who do not know who the hell I am, I am a determined and driven individual who always seeks to do what is right and what would be best for the army. Three known things about me: Dependability, consistency, and hunger. Nothing is more important to me than the development of my army and everyone around me having fun and having no difficulties whatsoever either as staff or as a troop. I am always open to people and try my best to put a smile on everyone’s face. I have shared my plans and projects with my comrades and I can assure you that my plans are to fully enhance the community and make being a troop, staff, or high command simply fun. I have huge trust in my fellow leader Coolguy and the new generation of HCOM and moderators that I would love to have with me and Coolguy as leaders and to continue the legacy of the Army of Club Penguin with super interesting ideas and plans up ahead that were mentioned in a previous post. I could go on and on about the plans and ideas I have in this speech, but I don’t wanna rush things out and be too optimistic to the point that my ideas all fail and go wrong.

Now isn’t the time for long speeches. Now, is the time for action.

With that being said thank you once again to Austinfraud, Coolguy, the high command, the staff, and of course the entire Army of Club Penguin community, for trusting me for this honorable position, and I vow and promise that you will not be disappointed, and that I will do everything in my power to lift the Army of Club Penguin to new heights above. I’m looking forward to bringing some changes for the better and bringing new ideas to the table that I’m sure a lot of people would like, and of course, making more history.
