At Peace

Posted on April 17, 2020 by insanityfortwo

I never really got a proper farewell post when Club Penguin came to an end, so I’d like to take this opportunity to get my affairs in order before I pass on the torch for the final time.

I joined the Doritos Army of Club Penguin back in 2011 when I was recruited off Riffy8888’s mascot tracker Xat chatroom by Alfrondo45. I quickly climbed up the ranks, along with Mustapha10, 32op, and Carter. It became evident pretty early on that the Doritos Army was more than just some Club Penguin chatroom, it was an online family. During the first few years, all I could remember is how excited I would be to log on to my computer and catch up with my friends from DCP.

While my history with DCP has been somewhat muddled, what became apparent is how I found myself drawn back to the army after every departure. I could never truly let DCP go from my heart, even as I grew older and started to move on from Club Penguin. I was there for it when we maxed 100+ on Club Penguin to when we would barely max 10. I led alongside some of the most respected figures in the community, and got to lead some troops who went on to outdo my own accomplishments within the army community.

Here are some of the more prominent friends I’ve met along the way that I’d like to give a shoutout to.

Mustapha10

This one may get me some heat, especially after recent events. However, in my heart, I know it is only right to give credit to the man who taught me nearly everything I needed to know about armies. Mustapha & I actually were both 4ic at the same time back in 2011/2012, and fought for a coveted spot in the ownership ranks. During this time, he would always push me to keep putting in the work to rank up. Say what you will about Mustapha, but he does have a way with motivating people to push to their absolute limits. While we may not be on the best terms, I appreciate all you’ve done for me.

32op

Man, I can’t even believe you & I are still here to this day. 32’s been one of the most inspirational figures during my time in DCP history. We were both owners early on in DCP history, and 32 was always there for me. 8 years later, 32 is still fighting for what is right in DCP. He has never once given up, and many of us look up to him to this day. A true leader and absolute legend. I love ya man.

Meerrkat

No amount of words can even begin to describe how proud I am of Meer. He was a 6ic/5ic in DCP when I was in a top ownership spot. He was very loyal, super sweet and humble, and everyone in the army liked him. To see him grow into one of the most accomplished leaders in DCP history is absolutely touching to see. Meer is so dedicated to Doritos, he was recruiting for us while banned from the army. I know he will grow up to be something great outside of armies. I love ya.

Rah

Rah is from New Era DCP (CPO), and I’ve only gotten the chance to know her for a few weeks now — but during that short period of time, I’ve witnessed the most caring & genuine person bring thousands of Doritos troops together and make them feel like they have a place. I’m sorry our time leading together has been cut short, but I know you’ll go on to be one of the most memorable leaders in DCP history.

Vivala

Like Rah, I’ve only gotten the chance to know Viv for a few weeks now. However, in that time, I’ve been wholly impressed by the qualities of leadership I’ve seen in Viv. One of the most liked leaders in DCP, Viv has put in so much effort in making sure all troops feel like DCP is their second home. It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and see what you’ve done for the army.

Gingersnap

While Ginger has always had a way with finding new methods of bugging me, and at points I’ve wanted to strangle this kid, I love ya like a brotha. You have always been true to DCP, time and time again. I respect you so much for never betraying DCP regardless of what you had to personally gain from it. I’m so happy I got the chance to be in an ownership rank alongside you in early DCP and continued to lead with you during New Era.

Possum03

The loyalty to DCP that Possum03 has shown ever since she joined the army has been humbling. I shouldn’t even say DCP — Possum has been loyal to what is right. She has never once compromised on her morals. She has passed on opportunities to stay true to herself and to the army. At times when DCP was struggling, Possum did not cave in to the scandals that were plaguing the CPA community. Instead, she believed that DCP would prevail. I have nothing but utmost respect for Possum and the only thing I would have changed is inducting her as legend sooner.

And with that, I would like to say thank you to everyone in Doritos who gave me a place where I could forget about all the negatives in my life and just have innocent fun. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. DCP will continue to outlive me, as it has all the former leaders and legends of this remarkable army.

For the last time,
