Hey guys.  As many of you may know, ACP is having elections for a new leader.  The primaries are over, and it’s time to get serious!  Each candidate left has won their party and will now pick a running mate to be a co-leader should they be elected.  I am happy to announce that Shaboomboom has named me his running mate!  So please vote for Shab and me when the voting begins.  I will have the poll up as soon as it is made.  For those of you who will support Shab and me, thank you in advance.  Tell your friends too!  Your help is much appreciated.

In baseball news, tonight is the first game of the World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies.  Tonight’s starting pitchers will be Cole Hamels for the Phillies and Scott Kazmir for the Rays.

Prediction: A close one, pitcher’s duel.  Phillies 3, Rays 1

Go Phils!

Is Oagal back?   Some of you may know this already, but Oagalthorp has been visiting ACP chat recently, as well as making a weird post on the ACP site.  I doubt he is fully returning, but hopefully he will come and visit every now and then.  More info coming later (maybe).

Boomer

Hey guys,

If you have managed to find this site, it is my new site.  I will unvail it officially with a post on my old site when it is completed (or at least running).  I’m currently working on a header and theme for the site, so give it a few weeks for now.  Thanks.

Boomer

Hey guys.  Very sorry for the long absence, I’m going to keep up with this site more.  In the upcoming weeks you may see some changes to the site.  I will most likely rename it since I’m not Governor of Ice Breaker.  I’m also planning to convert this site to more than CP matters, for example, I plan to discuss sports, music or whatever else I feel like.  So stay tuned.

Ok, a quick news update, there is another ACP leader election (wow, seems like one of the last times I posted I was talking about the previous one).  This one will include many soldiers from Head Admiral up, including Shaboomboom, Rapidy, Cooltiger413, Dr Nono Jr, Jedimaster17, Meggis1234, Lucario98765, Abercrombe29, and Casiusbrutus.  I have given my full support to Shaboomboom, however there are plenty of other qualified choices.  Good luck to everyone!

Sports news: The Phillies are up 3 to 1 against the Dodgers in the NLCS and may clinch the NL Pennant tonight at 5:22 PST, 8:22 EST.  Look for a solid match-up anchored by pitching.  The Phillies’ Cole Hamels, the winner in Game 1, looks to get another win against the Dodgers’ Chad Billingsley.  Until the Phillies’ win last night, the Dodgers were undefeated at home against the Phillies this season.  Look for a better game from Billingsley than we saw in Game 2.

Prediction: Phillies 6, Dodgers 2; Phillies clinch the Pennant

Go Phils!

Edit: Phils win 5 to 1 and are going to the World Series for the first time since 1993!  Not a bad prediction, eh?

Also last night was the presidential debate.  I didn’t watch it because of the Phillies game, but based on polls it looks like Barack Obama won handily.

Boomer

I’m going to apologize ahead of time, since school will be starting for me on Tuesday, I’m not going to have much time to get on this site or be very active in ACP.  I’m not quiting or anything, I just need to wait and see how much time I have.  Right now it looks like I’ll be lucky to get 5 hours a week.  I’m still going to try to post my trip pics and maybe some other stuff if I’m lucky, but the chance of the updated ranks database being ready are not that good.  Sorry for my future inactivity…

Boomer

The ACP leader situation is pretty chaotic right now, so I’m going to try to shed some light on the subject. I have created a system for analysis the important characteristics of a leader. Here are the categories:

Leadership: One’s ability to manage one’s soldiers on and off the battlefield.

Diplomacy: One’s ability to devise treaties and alliances with other armies.

Dedication: How dedicated one is to his or her army; also refers to the length of time he or she has been loyal to ACP.

Activeness: How often one is around to lead an army.

Fairness: One’s ability to be fair to all, be it promotions, punishments, etc.

Things to Be Clarified:

• Membership factored into the leadership rating due to the fact that a non-member leader would have difficulty getting into a large server to lead a battle.
• For those ratings that were tied, I ranked them by those who I felt were stronger in the more important areas, such as activeness. An inactive leader is no use to the army.
• Current rank did not factor in, these ratings are based solely on potential.
• I can only speak for myself about my activeness rating being only 2/5. That is because the activeness rating is for ability to be active during the school year. Since I will be busy and most likely unavailable during the week, I would not be a very effective leader.

Feel free to express your opinion about these ratings, but please be dignified with your responses. I tried to be as honest as possible, and if you feel that I rated you unfairly, you may let me know. Even if you feel you were unfairly ranked, take into consideration the areas you received lower scores, and it may benefit you in the future.

Boomer

Hey, I’m back from my vacation.  I’m going to be really busy, but I’m going to try to get a few things posted before school, including some pics from my trip.

Boomer

Hey, just wanted to let you know I will be away from the 21st to the 26th.  When I get back, I’m hoping to get a couple new things posted that I’ve been working on, so look for that.  See you soon!

Boomer

Ok, first I would like to say that we are back in control of the old ACP site.  It will most likely be run by Rapidy, Cooltiger413, and maybe a few others, so make that the main ACP site for now.  We will probably keep the new chat though.

Ok, secondly, as many of you already know, Club Penguin is having a huge hacker problem.  Though they have denied it through emails, you can’t deny the evidence (See below).  The main hacker servers are Frozen, Mammoth, Brumby, and Tundra, so be extra careful when on these servers.  Not all the hackers are malicious, but some have the ability to hack your penguin and steal items and coins, or ban it forever.  DO NOT CLICK THEIR PLAYERCARDS.  If you want to report them, take a picture and email it to Club Penguin.  If you send a report to a moderator from their player card they can then hack you.  So be careful.

Boomer

Special thanks to Repercussion for the hacker update.

Today was the day the Oagalthorp left ACP for good.  I hope those who harassed him into submission after he lost a loved one feel good about themselves.  I won’t go on about the rest anymore, it’s been too sad already.  The way everything went down was something I just don’t want to think about.  Instead, I guess I will just say goodbye.

Oagal we will truly miss you. It takes a big man to apologize for all that, even when it wasn’t all your fault. I will never forget you. You were the reason I joined ACP, and the reason why I will never quit. I carry with me your ideals of what an army should be and I promise not to let ACP stray away from them again. I wish it didn’t have to end, but I guess all things must come to an end. When this site was in danger of being deleted I spent nearly 6 hours copying posts to my computer. Even though the site is still here, those 6 hours of repetition were not wasted, for I learned how much you really cared for this army and how much you put into it. Your work will not be forgotten, we will maintain what you started. ACP will still be strong as long as we have loyal soldiers. Once again, thank you Oagalthorp.

*ACP Forever*
