One year ago, ACP found itself in a situation of great chaos. We had just been humiliated at a battle for Mammoth where not even 10 soldiers remained by the end. A near civil war situation had developed between Shaboomboom and Jedimaster17, and the reappearance of Oagalthorp had caused controversy over control of the army. Soldiers were retiring by the day to escape the imminent collapse of the once great Army of Club Penguin. It was then decided by the leaders at the time, along with Oagalthorp, that ACP needed a change. They met and discussed who would be best to take over and be the future for the Army of Club Penguin.
That is how I came to power. I remember the days leading up to this event that every soldier dreams of, and it is very clear in my mind. I was a Co-Leader at the time, and I found it difficult to stand by and watch as ACP collapsed in front of my eyes. Most leaders hope to come to power when the army is at its best, prepared for them to take control. My first task was merely to prevent a complete collapse of the army, and expectations were probably pretty low. With my first post, I wanted to send a message – that this army was not going to die at my hands. The post I wrote still has a lot of meaning to me today, and in times of great controversy, I often quote the lines I ended with.
“The sun is rising on the Army of Club Penguin. The dawn of a new era awaits. Together, we will restore this army to glory.”
Within the next few days, nearly all of the soldiers who had retired rejoined, along with some veterans who had been unsatisfied with ACP’s leadership. Within a month, I led ACP to victory in the Christmas Tournament, marking our return as the strongest army in Club Penguin. In the months that followed, ACP saw its greatest growth in its history. We numbered over 60 at practices and close to 90 at battles. At an invasion of Tuxedo we exceeded 110 soldiers, and my retirement battle in June was the largest turnout of soldiers in army history, a mind blowing 170 soldiers. Since then, ACP has fallen a bit, but my reasoning for overthrowing Seanehawk was the same as the meeting of past leaders to decide who should lead this army. My intentions were the same, to rebuild a broken army under a stable leadership, and bring another Golden Age to the Army of Club Penguin. I do not believe we have achieved this yet, in a time where nearly all armies are falling, but I intend to keep working until ACP is the best army it can be once again. Thank you soldiers of the past, present, and future, for fighting alongside me all this time. You have made ACP what it is, and on this day of great meaning to me, I salute you.
I would like to leave you with some posts from this time that have great meaning to me.

The Dawn of a New Era was the first post I wrote as leader, and it has great meaning to me. Looking back at the comments, I am so proud of the soldiers’ confidence in me amidst all the chaos that had been going on. ACP was a broken army, but with this post, I believe I succeeded in bringing everyone back together, and giving new hope to the Army of Club Penguin. I would like you all to read some of the comments in the hopes that you will see what a true soldier of the Army of Club Penguin is. You may recognize that a few of these loyal soldiers went on to become some of the greatest soldiers of this era.
