A Look Into These Last 2 Months

My journey as a solo leader has been both thrilling and filled with challenges. The first month of the year was a transitional period, from a duo leadership to taking up responsibilities of a solo leader. This shift involved a focus on internal changes, albeit on a minor scale. Although these changes may have seemed small at first, they have had a significant impact in the long run. Little did we know that our dismissal of the Doritos’ attack in January, with our iconic “get some land first”, would come back to haunt us the following month, and would almost kill the CPA map. All in all, January was a month of transition.

The second month, February, was full of surprises—some of which I never expected or planned for. We found ourselves engaged in four different wars. One of the most notable was with our own brother allies, which was a strategic move to expand our land. Although our original plan was to focus on taking on the Doritos head-on after that, things took a different turn. We decided instead to target their allies, the Templars, who had constantly looked down on us. This decision proved to be rewarding as we emerged victorious, with the Templars surrendering with a score of 12-1-1 (12 ACP wins, 1 tie, 1 ACP loss). The month before, both our armies were quite similar in size, which made the victory even more satisfying. Our US division, in particular, benefited greatly from the war with the Templars, as our performance showed noticeable improvement.

What initially seemed to be the biggest war of the year, the conflict with the Doritos, turned out to be a one-day affair. ACP emerged victorious due to DCP breaching the terms they had originally set. It’s worth noting that DCP had interfered with the S/M community, ultimately destroying it in their quest for land to face us. This interference led us to set our sights on their brother allies, the Bastille Vanguard, who had helped DCP gain land through non-hostile means. We knew the war with them would be short-lived, consisting of just four battles, with the only no-show from TBV occurring during the capital invasion.

February proved to be a month full of intense challenges, testing our army’s resolve. It was truly challenging to remain strong for the entirety of the month filled with war, especially the pressure of winning all 4 of them. But beyond the thrill of winning each war, the most rewarding aspect of this experience has been the unwavering loyalty portrayed by every member of our army. The dedication and mindset of our soldiers have been a source of immense support for me and the Higher Command. We are deeply grateful to have such a loyal and dedicated team, whose efforts have kept us going throughout the war.

In conclusion, my journey as a solo leader has been a mix of transitions, unexpected twists and incredible displays of loyalty. These challenges have only strengthened my resolve, and I am grateful to everyone who has supported my tenure as a solo leader.

Sharing the Torch: A New Leader, A Shared Vision

After two months of solo leadership, I’ve gained invaluable revelations on my journey with one key lesson being the power of unity. I’m really excited to share my vision and expand it alongside someone who shares the same drive and determination to work for the greater good. With our visions aligned, I’m certain that together we can reach even greater heights. The road ahead will be undoubtedly filled with challenges but with someone who matches my determination and passion, the journey will be rewarding. Therefore, with great honor, I introduce you to the 53rd Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Club Penguin- Daniel20448.

Daniel is the recipient of two medals: a Bronze Medal Award and the Medal of Training. He earned the Bronze Medal Award through his dedication to building the Legión Española division to its peak. This division’s strength proved crucial during the 2020 Fright or Fight tournament, where ACP achieved a maximum of over 110 soldiers against IW, contributing significantly to their victory. His contributions were also pivotal in securing victory against the Warriors. Daniel earned the Medal of Training for his resilience in sustaining ACPTR, and his innovation in keeping the format new and fresh for subsequent generations in 2021.

Daniel’s unwavering dedication was a driving force behind the 2024 reformation of the ACPTR curriculum. He worked closely with me on ACPTR, and his substantial efforts in the reopening of ACPTR were crucial and have been widely recognized. He also plays a vital role in the Shamrock Bulletin by promptly posting CPJ updates, keeping our Club Penguin enthusiasts engaged in our server. His consistent efforts to foster both community engagement and a safe environment have not gone unrecognized.

Ultimately, Daniel’s unwavering loyalty and dedication to improving our community have made him well qualified for this role. As our newest Commander in Chief, I am certain he will continue to be an invaluable asset to our army.

A Trailblazer’s Vision

To begin, I would like to thank Roxy for believing in me being able to lead the army and foster this great online community, which a lot of us have fallen in love with over the years. When I first rejoined, I never thought I’d stay this long, or rather having the opportunity to lead, so I’m grateful. With now two people at the helm, it is important to address what you should look forward to, and our plans for the ACP in the coming months.

Let me get straight to the point: first and foremost, our number one priority right now is winning the annual March Madness competition, which is coming by very quickly, starting in less than two weeks. Having many failed runs in the past, we think it’s now time to make it right and work hard to take the trophy home. Not only that, it is fair to admit the amount of competition we’re facing this year, which will certainly be one to enjoy but hard to put up against – Which is why we will push ourselves to the limit to win it.

Me and Roxy will try our hardest so the army reclaims the top spot in the Top Ten once more, shooting for a third year in a row ‘Army of the Year’ title. To be able to make these claims, we’ve also thought out plans on what new things to implement to the army: stamp sessions, opening ACPTR once more, and much more. Our limit will always be the sky, and our hope will be to continue beating records, alongside our wonderful staff team who works hard daily to keep our community thriving.

In the long run, our goal will always be to dominate and leave a legacy behind for years to come. We hope you will also support us in this journey, as a leader(s) can’t do anything without the people that walk alongside them.

We can’t wait to show you all what we have in store – let alone live the future achievements we will obtain and challenges we will surpass, together.
