Practice Session Review/Practice Battle

Boomer’s Edit: We’re approaching 5,000 hits today, and we already broke our record for Google searches with almost 350, so I want everyone on CP recruiting.  Lets see how far we can increase those totals!

As many of you know, I have been trying to get us to work on spreading out, so this practice was dedicated primarily to that.  We started in my igloo, and then we went to test the strategy in many different locations.  I think it went really well! 😀

We had 45 soldiers in my igloo 15 minutes before the practice, and by the time we moved to the Snow Forts, we had 55!  Here is the fruit of our labor.  We spread out, no way! 😯

A different level of spreading out, here were confined into a smaller room, but still did pretty well at not bunching together.

We formed a circle in under a minute!   That’s gotta be a record.  Last time, it took us almost 15 minutes to get that down…

Clover circle 😀

Now we limited the space to only half of the Ice Rink, but we executed the shoulder-to-shoulder approach pretty well!  This is what an army should look like, although we could have been a bit more spread out 😉

Now that’s a Clover Bomb 😀

Recruiting at the Dock.

We takin’ over 8)

Moving to the Beach.

In the Lighthouse.  I tried to get you to group on the stairs but people were confused if we were at the Beacon or the main floor, so we just moved to the Beacon.

Trying a circle around the light, but it was tough to get enough people behind it 😆

Like old times, back in the Dojo.  Why couldn’t Card Jitsu be somewhere else? ;(

Marching from the Cove through the Town.  Who are the pink people? 😕

The march ends at the Mountain.

Peace out! 😉

Overall, I think we did better than I expected, both with the enormous turnout and getting the spreading out thing better under control.  Don’t forget about this for the Practice Battle tomorrow, it will always be a fundamental tactic in battles.  Thanks to everyone who came out.  I feel as a whole, we are really becoming a well-trained army.  I was talking to Ankita about it early, and we both agreed this is not the same army that won the Christmas Tournament.  We are way better!  No more are we just a large group of penguins in green, but now we are an army that can execute charges, regrouping, and spreading out while moving from room to room without losing soldiers in the process.  This is not to say that we cannot still improve, because we can and we will.  I am looking forward to what we will be able to accomplish with even more practice!

Comment if you made it to the practice!

Don’t forget the Practice Battle tomorrow!

When: Sunday, February 1, 2009

Server: Snow Fort

Room: Snow Forts

Teams: Red vs. Blue

Times:

9:30 am Pacific

10:30 am Mountain

11:30 am Central

12:30 pm Eastern

5:30 pm U.K.

As you may know, there are two teams, Red and Blue.  Each Division will represent a color.  Division I (Alpha, Delta, and Echo), led by Abercrombe29, represents the Red Team.  Division II (Gamma, Kappa, and Sigma), led by Rapidy, represents the Blue Team.  Please arrive at the battle in appropriate colors.  If you do not have a Division yet, names starting with A-M will be Red, and N-Z will be Blue.

Here are the uniforms.  They can be adjusted based on what clothing items you have, but you must be the color you are assigned.

*IMPORTANT*

In case one of the team leaders cannot make it, here is how we will work the battle leadership.  If the first leader on the list cannot make it, the second will lead, and so forth.  Once a leader has led a practice battle, they will move to the bottom of the list so the next person on the list can lead.  Make sure you know who is leading so you know who to listen to, and if you are your team’s leader, make sure they know you are in charge.

Red Team:

1. Abercrombe29
2. The Jungle N
3. Casiusbrutus
4. Cooltiger413

Blue Team:

1. Rapidy
2. Meggis1234
3. Nodear
4. Hattrick

Remember what we have been practicing, especially for this, because it will probably be more chaotic than usual.

• Make sure to spread out and pay attention on Club Penguin
• Stay quiet so you can see commands, and only talk when you are executing a joke bomb, spam charge, emote bomb, etc.
• Leaders should lead entirely on CP, so soldiers, don’t worry about checking the chat
• If everyone is ready on CP, you will have much better execution on charges, etc
• Make sure you know who is leading.  Check the list above, and whoever at the battle is highest on that list will be leading
• Leaders, make sure you are there early so you can make sure your soldiers know you are in charge

Comment if you can make it!
