Leading and Leadership

With all the active patrols and recruiting parties going on Club Penguin, I think we need to clarify some items to save trouble down the line. ACP is set up like a real army. We have a top leader, Boomer, who in turn promotes other soldiers to work for him and lead those below them. This is really the only way it can work, or we would have 600 soldiers following their own orders on CP during battles, drills etc.

The accepted method of leadership in ACP is that of the real army. Highest rank leads, period.

There will be times when the highest rank cannot lead, at that point they usually ask who is next highest, as I have done at times when having to leave or am tied up on the site. There should never be a time when a soldier just assumes command over a higher ranking soldier on their own.

If you wish to lead a small patrol or recruiting party, ask the highest rank available if you may do so , then proceed to do just that. There should be no threats, or promises of promotion or demotions made. Those are solely decided by Boomer alone. Just take a note of who does not gear up for the patrol or recruiting party.

It should be generally accepted by the soldiers that only the highest ranks will lead a drill or tactic session. These soldiers are usually veterans and know the tactics and drills quite well, and are qualified to teach these skills by means of Boomers ranking them in that position.

ACP encourages all soldiers to be proactive in recruiting and patrolling of our servers.  I have never seen a soldier denied this honor. If your a higher rank and decide to join that patrol, realize that it may be more efficient if you were to select another server and lead a patrol there. Lets try to follow these simple rules and make ACP the envy of all armies. Thank you.

Unscheduled Tactics!

Hello, Thom here! We had a pretty successful recruiting session today, and I’d like to thank everybody on chat who actually came on! I got 2 pictures, here they are.

In this picture, we do a “frenzy line” where we spam with clovers in line.

In this picture, since we can’t spam ACP, we spammed clovers !

Great job today to everybody who came and attended. If you were there (ON CP, FOLLOWING ORDERS!) then comment below!

Echo Won

Saint: I’ve noticed during Recruiting Sessions that when you have too many people shouting the same things it starts showing only one bubble at a time (many people probably noticed this too). I think our best bet of getting more recruits is to have small recruiting parties spread out in one server instead of everyone in one room. I might schedule a recruiting session, but I’m not sure. If any other leader wants to, go ahead!

Fox: Nice idea Saint. I agree – small recruiting parties are better, the (small and easy to fix) problem is if Klug’s leading one party and Matre’s leading another and Bfan’s leading another, we’ve got people shouting different orders and dumb people (Fox) might get confused. Now if you’ll excuse me, people are overusing the audies on chat and I need to kick them.

Echo beat GW in the practice battle today. It was hard to get an exact count of how many people were there, because Disney has to make sure our computers glitch when we have a battle on CP. Saiya pced me saying Echo won. On some screens there were 20 Echo and 3 GW, others 15 Echo 10 GW, others 8 Echo 2 GW, and it was different on everybodies screen. I will post a picture later today and good leading Divo! Thanks for showing up Echo,

Edit: Sorry for the edit Thom – I wasn’t there for long but I got two pics, so I figured I would post them. Basically Echo got to the battle with strong numbers and recruited a ton, so we ended up having a solid 30 soldiers from one Division (one-third of ACP is bigger than the 3rd largest army 😆 ). Anyway, here are the pics I got:

This was already 10 minutes in, but it was about 30 Echo vs. 8 GW:

At then this was the end not even 15 minutes in (again close to 30 ACP):

Not a very long battle, but a victory nonetheless. Well done Echo!

COMMENT IF YOU MADE IT

A Story by Divotoo.

Battle To The Better End: Book 6: Death of Evil

Maybe I am biased, maybe I am just amazed, either way I wanted to share the work of our very own Divotoo.  Your division general and friend, my little brother. I hope you enjoy this as much as he did writing it. For an 8 year old to craft such a story, well, see for yourself…..

acp lt. general 

I’m Pretty Amazed

Wow guys, that was great. I was kinda scared on how you guys would react to me leading, but it was awesome! I’m really impressed, great job!

Here’s the throw down, the Fire Throwers hopped from room to room as we chased them around. At the end we were at the HQ and they asked to become allies and they surrendered. To the Fire Throwers: you have guts to stand up to the ACP, I’m impressed xD.

Boomer: Due to glitching we looked smaller than we actually were, when I refreshed the room we had 54 at one point.  Also, great job Saint!

Pictures:

We started out with a good 30 soldiers at the Snow Forts:

Then we followed the Flame Throwers to the Ice Burg where we had this AWESOME surrounding of the Flame Throwers, I decided to do that because bombs and charges only work in the first minute of logging in to a room (I didn’t get a picture D:).

After that we followed to the Dock and charged them right away (my little pop up thingy got in the way D:):

Then I sent everyone to the Town to gather up some more recruits:

And finally we attacked the HQ where we had a very nice surrounding:

After everything was done we went back to the Snow Forts and fired at the target for fun!:

Over-all I was very impressed! You guys did a great job at listening to orders and stay ahead of the game. I think we topped 40-50 soldiers! Very awesome battle idk what else to say!

Comment if you made it!

The Retirement of a Great Friend and Soldier, Juneau 2

This is the retirement of one of my greatest friends I have ever had in the ACP! GOOD LUCK IN GW JUNEAU

Hi, my name is Juneau2 for those who haven’t been smart enough to read the title, as you can see I’m retiring from ACP, well not really, I’m Quitting ACP, and Boomer it IS’NT because I didn’t get a promo,

It’s why I didn’t get a promo and also because I get treated like crap. O.k. im not telling you the whole story but, I made a joke, I made another joke and got banned forever., so as you all know I am GW 2ic, and that I am Really busy with GW, but I still try to make it to ACP chat and events I’ve made it to as many events as I could, but yet I don’t get a promo, in GW we have a lot of U.K. soldiers. A lot of the events other armies/ CPAZ or CPA central have are like 12:00 at night for our U.K. soldiers. But we give soldiers promos, even If they don’t make it to EVERY event, we give it to them if they TRY to make it to every event, I mean, we give them credit for trying, I can’t help it boomer but you can’t expect all of us to come to every event,. I will still come on chat, but I might not make it to as many events as before. I wrote a little speech about my experience in ACP from start to finish.

So it all started out when I was roaming around a server and seen a BUNCH of people saying, “search ACP army of club penguin and join” even though I didn’t search it I started to become an ACP mammoth N00b. I remember seeing someone claiming they were a sergeant. Of course I protested and said I was a general. After that I searched ACP army of club penguin, and got a result, so I clicked on it, I found out it ACP was real. I went to chat and I remember Two people who were there, Batintrenche and Sir blueh, they were both members at the time. I remember saying “hi, I am new to ACP, I just joined” and batin and blueh welcomed me. (in the join page I put I was IW general XD). I joined when boomer was the 6th leader but I remember how great he was for my first few months. I started to join more armies. I eventually got to where I am now, GW 2ic. This wasn’t a really big speech, but I never have been good for long speeches.

Winter’s Roads
by Ron Carnell

 

I cannot speak for all who stem
‘Long roads less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
by words they spoke and did not say.
Each road is long, though short it seems,
And credence gives each road a name
Of fantasies sun-drenched in beams
Or choices turned to darkened dreams,
To where each road wends just the same.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature’s snowy den
On roads I’ve seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

This journey grows now to its end,
As road reflections lined in chrome
Give way to roads with greater bend
And empty signs that still pretend
They point the way to home sweet home.

But all roads lead to where we go
And where we go is where we’ve been,
So home is just a word we know,
That space in time most apropos
For where we want to be again.

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is going to be
Another road – or just a place

.

People I would like to thank:
I will still go on chat though but not as often,

I’m not naming every soul I know but here is a list

Oaglethorpe: even though I’ve only seen you a few times on chat, I know you were a great leader and a great man.

Mr. Icefin: I haven’t knew you for long but you were a great friend I will never forget you

Houndy66: Houndy you really helped me through a lot, me being scammed and a lot more, I wish I could have you as a friend in the real world

Aero master: great friend, at least I will be on chat to see you though 😉

Sir blueh: I’ve known you since the start and I will never forget you, you are a real true friend

Stev: wow man I miss you, you were a great 2ic or 3ic but I will miss you (even though you probably wont be reading this post)

Chris||XX: you were a good friend, I will miss you a lot

Wafflemaster: lol good time good times

Cort: lol I’m backing off of you and “droop”, but u were FUN-E

PackerNFL: I will REALLY miss you to knowing I wont see you much anymore on chat, (packers are 3rd best in NFC =D)

Bfan: you know my advisor‘s (in skool) cousin is Joe Thomas (I’m serious) I’m gonna miss you buddy

Shab: O.O good-bye pal?? Lol

Saint: you were a great leader of your time, I looked up to you a lot

Dryvit: you were awesome!! I just love having you as ACP 2ic

Chase50: you gave me good times,

Fox: o.0, LOL you we’re HA-HA-HA-LARIOUS

And last but DEFINATLY not least:

Batintrenche: you were my BEST friend I’ve watched you turn into mod and then owner, (I’m still a member), you we’re there for me when I was sad, you helped me when I needed it, you cheered with me when I was sad (xD) batin I’m gonna miss you, I Really Really am

Now for one last speech

I am lucky to have found ACP, If you all would have been my friend in real life, I would have been the happiest person on the world, you help me, cry with me, cheer with me, and much more, I think there is a good chance we will meet in heaven (maybe not some of you (shab)), ( I really hope I do at least) but until then (for only SOME) of you Good-Bye
