Completion

Yup, it’s Tomtwelve again.  But this time, I’m not here to rant on about how immature people are. I’m telling you all (though I’ve already posted the link to it on ACP chat like 15 times) that book one of the Chronicles of the ACP is finished.  I mentioned it before, you know.  Well anyway, it is indeed 52 pages.  You might have trouble concentrating on that when it’s on a computer, but if not, it shouldn’t be too hard to read.  Well, this is the adress of the PDF document, where you read it. http://tomtwelve.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/the-chronicles-of-the-acp.pdf

Now, in order to make this site the best of all brigade sites, we have to post all the time, of course.  And we also need a new banner, since Wicket is our leader now.  I don’t know the dimensions for it right now.  But I can find out easily.  Oh yes.

Immaturity

I’m real displeased right now.  I’m displeased with the reactions people are having because of promotions.

Now before you say, “Oh Tomtwelve, shut up, this is easy for you to say, because you actually got a promo!” hear my words.  First of all, I don’t really even know if I ever got a promo while Boomer was leader.  And I only complained when I was demoted, and on the last promotion day that Boomer had.  And he didn’t promote me.  So throughout Boomer’s time, I was basically always a Lt. General.  I say this because I know how to act when you aren’t promoted.  There may be a reason, but if there’s not, you go and complain.  Now secondly, I only got promoted this time because I sent a complaint.  A complaint that was long and well written.  Not unlike every post I’ve ever written. XD Just kidding, I’ve written some short and cruddy posts, too.  (Not on this dang site!, fool!)  So that actually worked this time.

Well, just now people were making tirades on chat.  And not the people who usually make tirades.  Some people who I had thought could act mature when they didn’t get promoted were making these.  Now don’t get me wrong, these speeches weren’t all like the standard noob ones (OK IM QUITTING ACP CAUSE THE LEADERS NEVER NOTICE ME OR CAR ABOUT ME AND IM ALWYS—and blah blah blah) although I suppose they contained similar ideas.  Maybe they were noob ones, translated into complex language.  Heh heh.

Well here’s 5 angry statements in response to their angry statements:

1. What???  Just because you don’t get promoted ONCE OUT OF EVERY FREAKING TIME, is that enough to go all crazy on us??
2. No need to complain about it on chat.  What you should do is comment on that promotions page and hope for the best.
3. What more are you going to gain if you get from Major General to Lt. General???  Do you think that lower ranking people will respect you more?  Do you think that higher ranking people will respect you more??
4. You can’t please everyone.
5. Life isn’t fair, so grow up.

I know, I know, those were harsh, and some might be offended by them.  But seriously, we can’t have soldiers quitting just because their works go by unnoticed.  That’s quite selfish of whoever quits.  I’m sorry to those offended, but really, you have got to learn to deal with these minor setbacks.

Back in the old days, promotions were rare.  And somehow, soldiers were very happy.  What gave them this happiness?  It had to be the joys of defeating enemies, or just fighting battles in the first place.  One more reason to bring back war to CP armies.  Seriously, we need them back, so we can find out who REALLY deserves a promotion.  Don’t forget my post on George Mcclelan.  You can have soldiers who are trained very well…but if they never see combat, what is the dang point?

Oh yeah.  I’m on fire now.  All right.

Out of history lessons

Well, if I had another history lesson to give you, I would.  But I’m done with History.  I’m done with school.  I only have two days left.  So for the moment, you won’t learn any more history.

But I’m just helping to keep this site active here.  Because if we’re active, then viewers will check the site more often.

So I thought I’d let you know that the first book of my story the Chronicles of the ACP is almost finished.  It will end up being a bit more than 50 pages.  Size 12 font, single spaced, all that good stuff.  But it should not be a problem if you’ve ever read a book. Really.

Of course, that’s only the first book.  It was originally going to be one whole story, but I divided it up so each story would have its own plot.   So there’s probably going to be at least a hundred more pages.  Though I’m not quite sure yet.  And if I can make it a PDF, I will.

Well, that’s all I have.

Tactics?? Let’s look at history.

I was a bit annoyed by ST’s “trivia question.” “If an army has 20,000 troops, but has horrible tactics, and their against an army with only 10,000, but they have exceptional tactics, who would win?”  You see, I’m pretty sure that according to them, the answer is the army with 10,000 troops with exceptional tactics. There’s just one problem when you apply that to a Club Penguin army…and that is that numbers are everything in Club Penguin warfare.  So maybe we ‘ve used tactics.  Simple tactics are actually helpful.  These tactics are very basic and obvious.  It’s those tactics that are exclusive to one army…those are useless to me.

Even though I say that ST’s little trivia question doesn’t really work with Club Penguin…I still have a piece of history to back up my point. I answer their question in my own way. The following is the story of Antietam, which was the bloodiest battle in American history.  20,000 lives were lost in this battle.  You may want to see my earlier post about the Union generals, because I don’t explain who “Little Mac” is in this post.  I will tell you that general Burnside was the worst general ever, and that the hair on the side of his face—well, thanks to him, we have the word sideburn now.

Now, the Yankees outnumbered the Rebels bigtime.  And to make things better for them, they had found Lee’s secret plans. But freakin Little Mac over there leading the Union made some big mistakes. The worst of them was marching a thousand troops through a cornfield, where they all were cannon blasted to death. And then also there was freakin general Burnside, who decided to take all the troops across a bridge…when they could have just walked through the creek. The Confederacy soldiers just kept shooting every soldier who crossed that bridge.
But the Confederacy had a problem. Throughout the war, they were consistently low on supplies. And by the day’s end, they were almost out and didn’t have enough to fight anymore. So during the night they left the battle to go get more supplies.
Well freakin’ Little Mac decided to declare that a victory when he woke up and saw that the enemy was gone. Really, they would have lost if the Rebels had had more supplies. Every decision the Union made was…well, an epic fail. Even though they did manage to kill plenty of Rebels, it was just a pathetic battle for them. Yet it was still considered a victory.

Now hey, look where I’m going here. Are tactics really the key to winning a Club Penguin war? Or is it whoever has the most soldiers? Yeah, the Union’s tactics in this battle were terrible, but because of the Confederacy’s lack of supplies, they won. In a Club Penguin battle, if you have more troops, you will win. And because of that, life sucks for small armies.

What, you still don’t get it?  Whatever.  There’s two points I wanted to make here, and they are:

1. That the answer to that “trivia question” is definitely not always true.
2. In Club Penguin, if you want to win battles, get more soldiers.  Which means that small armies will probably fail until the superpowers leave.

So really, there’s no need for complex tactics. There’s just need for the basic ones like “charge and regroup.”  And spam.  That’s vital, man. Now obviously, ACP doesn’t really do tactics.  But all I’m saying is that they’re not quite necessary, because look how awesome we are!

By the way, I orginally wrote down the story of Antietam (from memory… this is why I don’t study for tests that often: I remember the stuff without studying) on the comment thread of the latest post on the ACP site.

A comparison

In my U.S. History class, I’ve learned some interesting things about war in America.  It seems as though the first ACP leader Oagalthorp has based some events in ACP off of events in U.S. history.  And not to mention—do you know where his name came from? Well, if you do, just shout it out for Pete’s sake!

Well, today, I learned about how Abraham Linclon kept chosing horrible generals to lead the Union army in the Civil War.  While the confederacy has the good ones like Lee and “Stone Wall” Jackson, the Union gets the ones with no experience at all.  And one of these generals was General McClean, or “Little” Mac.  No, not Big Mac.  And no, Meat, not the guy in Punch Out!.  Anyway, this guy was an excellent trainer.  The troops learned disipline and firing skills and all that stuff.  But what was his problem?  He didn’t actually want to take his troops to battle.  All that training, and the troops rarely see combat.  When he does plan an invasion, well, it goes very badly.  The other guys easily trick him.  He was fooled to think that they had thousands and thousands of soldiers at the city he was invading.  But they were really the same guys marching in front of them over and over again—with changed clothes.  So he chickened out of that battle.

Ok, so do you see why this made me think of the ACP?  Because I have no life?  Percisel—I MEAN NO!  As we war hawks (another U.S. history reference, by the way) say all the time, we (ACP) never fight anymore.  It’s all just practice battles.  This is old news, I know.  You’ve heard this before, right.  But let’s look at this:  The Union could have easily won the Civil War in maybe a year if it weren’t for all these lame generals.  This guy wasn’t the worst, of course.  The worst was General Burnside.

Well, there’s your history lesson for ya.

It’s a War

Meat: Person said he won, ha ha.

 

Well, it looks like we have ourselves a real war.  A war, perhaps, that the leaders won’t back out of after a few mere days of fighting.  I think—or at least I hope—that this war will be long-lasting.

As you know, we’re fighting the Nachos.  Fighting Person’s army doesn’t come with as much hatred as did come when fighting Zippy’s—when it was being led by Akabob while Zippy was gone for a reason I don’t remember, anyway. Much arguments did come about.  I, to be honest, was entertained by Oagalthorp’s debates with AkaBob that occurred with posts on the Nacho and ACP sites.

And I don’t think I could forget a battle that took about 3 hours for the Nachos to declare victory.  I have regrets about this battle.  And these regrets are because at one point, the Nachos had only one soldier still standing in the Dojo.  And yet none of us declared victory.  Because I did not cease the opportunity, we didn’t win the battle.  It was an unplanned battle, though in this case AkaBob wrote a post about it making it seem like they had crushed us.  Oh yes, I wrote an angry comment, but I didn’t lose my head.

This war, however, like the other wars that took place after the good war (WWIII) did not have a definite winner.  ACP couldn’t say they were dominating, and neither could the Nachos.  It would be great if an army could get the other army to be honest and admit defeat.  But hey, let’s look at WWIII, shall we?  The UMA leader Pink Mafias just gave up on CP after being banned!  The army was in chaos.  And let’s not forget where RPF came from: a rebellion from within UMA.  As Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided against itself cannot stand. With these factors, there was no way UMA was going to win.  But circumstances like this simply don’t exist in these times, which is why no army will admit defeat anytime soon.  Not the Nachos anyway.

If a CPWW did happen, it would be awesome.  We’d sit at our computers all summer long pressing the T key and clicking the mouse.  Or if you want to ignore reality, we’d be having a colossal fight.  The chances of this happening are slim.

But hey, make the best of this war.  Every day when you get home from school, make sure to check the ACP website and chat.  As you may have noticed, Boomer has been making it extremely clear when you should get on Club Penguin.  But if there is no battle, just go patrol.

Well hopefully, this was the longest post on the site so far, and I doubt that anyone here can beat it.  But we’ll see.

Um, hello? :)

Well, I, Tomtwelve, am kind of bored.  And in this state of boredom, I realized that I had been added to this blog.  So this is my first post.  There’s not much for me to say here, but hey, I’ll be around. I don’t know when I’ll have any reason to post in the future, but again, I’ll be around.
