Hai dere, ACP!

There is no mystery I just wanted to post some cool news and things like that!  As you know a lot of stuff has happened over the past week and some exciting stuff too; also I will talk a little about Peg’s new polls.  Being one of the owners it’s my responsibilities to make sure everyone is kept updated with everything.  I wonder how far I can get in this post without boring all of you…why don’t we find out?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

First off I’m glad to say that the recruiting week was a major success!  Without counting our old join page (we got a new one to avoid lag for new recruits) we have gotten thirty-eight new soldiers.  That is a ton of new recruits, I’m very glad that we were able to rack in some new recruits.  Not to mention our site hits were better than usual this weekend.  I think we can conclude that this weekend’s recruiting was a great success.

Most of you know that Peg is conducting a survey on ACP data.  I’ll let him explain it in a future post, but I will say that ACP needs to start attracting younger troops.  Times comes when all of us will not be here anymore so we’ll always need a surplus of younger recruits to keep the generations going and to keep them at a young age.  Seeing these results polling in so far I ask that all ACP soldiers continue to recruit on populated servers for the rest of this week.  This will further our site and recruits and help ACP for the future, I promise.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

My message to SWAT,

Now let me start off by saying that I have no position to declare war or describe my feelings for war at this point, but I am allowed to ponder.  As you know SWAT you have recently invaded our server Mammoth; you did not win, but you had the taste of revenge on your lips.  Earlier in the course of this month we had lost Mammoth to BA, and if you didn’t know that didn’t go so well with us.  ACP had wanted a taste of vengeance and we had a full-scale invasion on BA.  In the end, in about five days I would say, ACP had won the war and BA was destroyed (which is another story in itself).  The posts of losing and regaining Mammoth can be found HERE and HERE.  It’s been established that if an army is to invade Mammoth, we invade back and give them war; we have set a precedent.  What worries me the most is that you, SWAT, have tried to invade Mammoth and I don’t think this was your first time (SWAT invading Mammoth on September 6th, 2011 can be found HERE — a possible countless example).  Does it stop there?  I’m not sure, that decision will be made in your own time, but we know you wanted your revenge…

Are you willing to live up to this rematch?  I know that you seem to be in a bad situation, with being at war with two armies and now here I am blabbing about Mammoth.  I’ve been in a situation myself.  Thus I ask you this SWAT, will you take the chance?  No, I am not a main leader of ACP.  No, this is not an act of war.  No, I don’t like green beans.  I would just like you to know that a rematch, or any invasion of any other ACP server, would not settle nicely on your part.

Let it begin.

What’s new for this weekend?

Hai dere, ACP!

I’m going to just cover some stuff that’s happened recently in ACP.  Recently the top ten was released and ACP yet again got first!  Good work everybody.  It seems we are pretty far from the pack, in a good way, so everyone please keep up the outstanding work.  Congratulations everyone for working hard and getting us to this point.  I know it’s not big news but it brightens my day when I see we are still #1.

The ACP continue to stay at the front, after good sizes of 45+ at the ‘Occupy the Dojo’ event. They also beat the Watex Warriors with 45+ and great tactics to follow-up the great event. ACP has an up-coming defence against the S.W.A.T in a defence of Mammoth, and were drawn against the Elites in the Christmas Chaos Tournament, but they are way out in front.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

As you should all know we have some big recruiting events coming up, so let’s get prepared.  Recruiting can be a very dull thing or it could be made into something quite astonishing.  The decision of this is up to the soldiers and how they interpret recruiting.  If you interpret it as a hard chore, don’t.  Recruiting doesn’t mean just standing in the same place and chanting recruiting phrases.  The whole point is to get some new recruits.  The best way to do this?  Make ACP appealing.  Have fun with the new recruits/friends you meet and be amiable (friendly, if you didn’t know) to everyone!  This attracts a bunch of kids to join our army. 

If you would rather do hard recruiting, be my guest, though it is more efficient to get to know the new recruits to make sure they will be an active part of our community.  Show them the true meaning of being in ACP.  Be yourself and approachable; answer any questions they have.  Also waddle around the island to play games with them, etc.  I’m sure I don’t need to go into much depth. 

Maybe you’re asking yourself:  how do I recruit? how do I successfully recruit?  It’s quite easier than you think, and it’s a swift movement.  Say stuff like “JOIN ACP TODAY“, “JOIN ACP TODAY PROTECT CP TOMORROW“, and especially chant the army name a bunch; “ARMY OF CLUB PENGUIN.”  Once you get that down and penguins will start listening those recruits will start recruiting as well.  Once a decent amount of rogues are recruiting this is when you begin to room hop.  Room hoping is going from room to room and take a few minutes to recruit.  For example, you could move around the whole island and be in each room for two minutes while doing hard recruiting.  This way penguins will notice all across the island.  Thus will start a chain reaction and you’ll have a bunch of ACP rogues across the island.  Try to gather them up and that’s when you start having fun with them!  Isn’t recruiting so much fun?

TOMORROW is the beginning of our big recruiting.  I expect to see everyone on the island and get to know a bunch of you a little bit better.  Most importantly when recruiting, have fun and invite your friends.  We’re one big, green family and I wish ya’ll the best of luck!  If you follow these steps I think this will be very successful.

Let it begin.

Hai dere, ACP!

For my post today I will be refreshing memories on how we try to keep organized on Club Penguin.  After seeing our performance today it is obvious we need to have a little bit more work on our organization.  The bigger the size of an army the more hard it is to organize.  Since we are so big this is our biggest faulty; though in time this will change.  If you follow these steps, or whatever you want to call them, it can guarantee better results in our events.

ORGANIZATION:  why is it important?  One of the key points in a battle is the organization and swiftness of the army.  If armies didn’t have organized tactics, orders, or soldiers, armies would not have made it this far.  Once an army has mastered their organization on Club Penguin the better they are to have more victorious tactics.  Also, lots of recruits are drawn to the organization of an army when they first see it.  Lets face the truth, it’s hard for our big size to fit in places while looking organized.  in this post I will just go over very basic things.

●UNIFORM●

This is a big thing I’ve been noticing.  It seems like nobody is wearing our uniform anymore which makes us look unorganized.  Personally I believe the first step in strong organization is the uniforms.  I understand that it is highly possibly that people do not have the uniform clothing items; at least get as close as possible.  Some of these clothing items are optional but you must wear the JACKET, VIKING HELMET, GUITAR.  If you don’t have the jacket you can wear the GREEN HOCKEY JERSEY, and if you don’t have this certain guitar you can have the RED GUITAR.  These are very important items in our uniform.  Be proud to be an ACP soldier and show your pride!  Now we haven’t forgotten you non-members, I’m a non-member as well, so click this sentence and try to get as close to the uniform as you can.

●CLUMPING●

Usually with ACP‘s big size, and especially in a small room, it’s hard not to clump but we need to try our best.  When making any formation we can’t have people standing on top of one another, we need to fill in all gaps.  No two penguins should be on top of each other.  When we clump we typically look smaller.  If you see an owner rank on Club Penguin don’t follow him/her.  When you do so it causes more gaps and makes us look very unorganized.  Once we can master the technique of not clumping our tactics will look much better.

●SNOWBALLS●

Snowballs!  Everyone’s favorite tactic!  In between tactics instead chatting you could help bring back the mighty snowball.  I think it would be awesome if everyone would throw snowballs every time there was time to.  Snowballs play such an important role in armies history.  I think it’s time to bring them back.  Not only does this make us look organized but it influences others to bring back the snowball.

●CAPS●

Just a small little subject to touch on; using capitals on chat during an event.  It’s not a big deal but it’d be awesome if only the owners are allowed to use capitals during an event.  Chat gets very hectic during a battle and with all the “yelling” it sometimes might be hard to see what the leader is ordering.   This is just a little favor I ask of all members and moderators.  Lets leave the capitals to the owners.

These are just a few things that will lead up to us having better organization.  Having everyone follow these would really help out a lot  If you have any other ideas that can help our organization than leave it in a comment.  Hearing your ideas will help make ideas happen.  This was a small guide on how to be organized; just wanted to refresh everybody’s mind.  Thanks for reading this post even though it wasn’t really good haha!

Let it begin.

Hai dere, ACP!

After finishing the ‘Scary Showdown’, winning and totally kicking some Nachos in the dust (NOTE: this is funny.  Laugh with me; hahaha), we seem to be at a fork in the road.  We have concentrated so much on the tournament that it’s now time to get back to business.  This usually happens every time after we finish up a tournament; the leaders are stumped on ideas for events.  The leaders would like to see what type of events our soldiers want.  Not only do you get to voice your opinion and finally let the leaders hear you, but whatever is the most popular vote we’ll most likely schedule soon.  One of my favorite parts about being an owner in this army is to be able to listen to all the soldiers.  Not only is it my favorite part, but it’s the most fun to do as well.

Army of CP [1] vs Nachos [2]

When: Saturday, 29th October

2:30 EST (Eastern)
1:30 CST (Central)
12:30 MST (Mountain)
11:30 PST (Pacific)
7:30 BST (UK)

Work performed by a team towards a common goal.  A team is consist of more than one person with different responsibilities.

Hai dere, ACP!

I feel like I haven’t talked for a while.  I just worked my way through not posting.  Now that I’m posting, it’s time to talk about a thing that is the key to a victory and will ultimately help us win the CPASS.  As you may already know a team/group of individuals that are in search for a common goal must get to that goal with Teamwork.  ACP‘s goal is to protect CP and to make history as the most greatest army ever on the island.  Each and every one of us have a duty to uphold for us to reach that goal.  From listening, to leading, to representing, it all helps us reach that one goal.  Look at yourself not as an individual, but as someone apart of a big team.  A big, important team.

Over the month of October ACP has been in some deep feuds with DW and LT, and with this post I just want us to step away from that and look at ourselves.  What can we do to make us better the next time we face DW or LT?  Teamwork.  Now I’m not asking people to hold hands, singing “Kumba Ya” and prancing around with each other.  I know some of us don’t know one another so well or some of us just plainly don’t get along.  But the first step to conquering a complete Teamwork atmosphere is we need to learn to respect everyone that makes up this extremely awesome army.  Eventually, that respect will turn into a big glob of Teamwork. 

As you may be aware of ACP hasn’t had an unscheduled event in quite some time.  Thankfully that changed two days ago!  A member ranked had asked people to go on Mammoth and people actually listened.  Thanks to Bobcatboy10 and I who encouraged everybody to get on, we had a successful little recruiting on Mammoth gathering up to twenty troops.  I will bet that 2/5 of those people were recruits.  Thanks to one soldier being a team player and asking for us to get on for around fifteen minutes, we gained a maximum of ten new recruits.  [Click on the picture to enlarge it.]

I know we can beat the Nachos tomorrow.  We beat them in a practice battle so why not again?  We all need to play our role and work as a team so we can win another tournament.  This is an important battle and Nachos don’t seem to be backing down.  I know we can win definitely, but we can epicly pwn if we have a strong Teamwork system.

MEMBERS: The main thing that plays your role is to listen.  Listen careful to all the orders given by Flipper or Kenneth and execute them with excellency.  Another thing is if the Nachos are about to switch rooms, and you know about it, instead of shouting it on chat private chat an owner and they’ll get right on it.  You are the centerpiece of our team.  We thank you for being so loyal and trustworthy which is why we will be given out promotions to you members if you attend this battle.  So attend this battle, and listen very carefully.

MODERATORS: You are very important as well.  The owners sometimes need a lot of help especially if their lagging.  A thing the leaders have been realizing is the lack of moderators we have at a battle.  Please remember the times (mark it on a personal calendar if needed) and come at the right time; it would also be helpful if you would comment on the site if you can make it.  Another huge thing that plays in the moderators role is to repeat the orders of the leaders on chat.  This is extremely important because then everyone knows what to do and we’ll look very organized.  So remember for tomorrow’s event- be there, and repeat the orders.

We want to bring home another victory!  Nachos will be a worthy competitive thus we must bring our “a game.”  Together we will work as a team and overcome the beast.  Remember to not be cocky or stubborn and after the battle, no matter what, congratulate Nachos on a good battle.  We really need this win so lets not just win, but pwn the Nachos.  We are a great team so we need great Teamwork.  Thank you all for being great soldiers and we’re glad to say: we are making history.

Let it begin.
