Edit: FYI, Dry isn’t leader yet, I didn’t think I needed to explain that one…
I’m back from vacation and glad to see things are a bit more stable than when I left.
I just wanted to explain something…
People are making a big deal about ACP not voting for it’s leaders. Let’s run through the armies and see how they handled the same situation last time around.
No Election:
- ACP – Leaders pick the best leader for the army (has worked well)
- UMA – Had elections for Co-Leaders, then after rebellion, new leaders were chosen, not elected
- WW – Wii and Spacey were leaders for a while, but new leaders chosen by former leaders
Election:
- RPF – Election, got screwed up 3 or so times and was redone each time, and they ended up with someone most people don’t like anymore
Didn’t need one recently:
- Nachos – Have had the same leaders for maybe 8 months so I don’t remember how they do it
- IW – Icey has always been the leader (lol)
From that, I would say that most armies either haven’t needed to vote or didn’t vote, and those have been the best off. The army that did (RPF), is trapped in a downward spiral and probably needs the most help of any of them. The ACP Nation page will be updated shortly, because we aren’t a Democratic-Republic, and neither are any of the armies up there.
If you care to know, we are (to the best of my knowledge), defined as a Congressional Oligarchy (Oligarchy = Group of Leaders, Congressional = We have a working Congress). The Nachos are, in my opinion, the closest thing to a democracy since they elect most major positions and have a council of some sort. Because Club Penguin Nations and Governments were created just to protect and govern servers, the terms don’t fit well. For example, the Nachos are something like a Democratic Congressional Oligarchy, because while they elect their leaders, power is shared by a group of leaders (oligarchy) rather than by a single elected individual. Best not to complain about it because we’re all pretty much the same.

1st
you always help
3rd
were we ever really a democracy?
Boomer: We were until Oagal chose Fort as the next leader, but before that, we elected Senators and Governors, although we still do that, so we still are a Democracy, we just don’t vote on everything.
Nice post Boomer!
stupid ice warriors they need to have something to change leaers gosh
Well said.
Big confusing words o.O xD
Thanks for teh help-zorz, Boomeh.
Ha, downward spiral. 😛 It’s actually been growing if none of you had cared to notice. When Kyle was elected, people considered it dead because only 2 people showed up at the PB. When Kyle came out of office, 13 people. 🙂 It’s like magic. 😮
And well, it’s not our fault if the person RPF elects no one likes. And we at RPF have found a solution to that problem. “Don’t like our leader? Go to heck(?).” 😀
Although I’m guessing other people would handle it differently. 😛

cool. welcome back boomer.
“•ACP – Leaders pick the best leader for the army (has worked well)”
Remember last time this was working well?
“OMG, I pick Rap!”
“OMG, I pick Nono!”
“OMG, this is freaking chaos!”
And now its come back to haunt us, ’cause Rap wants REVENGE. Haha the bold makes it all dramatic…
Boomer: I guess it should say “has worked recently”. When the Leaders pick the next leader, it works. When a retired leader tries to pick the leader without the opinion of the current leader, you get that…
Fort, Boomer, Saint (chosen) vs. Kg, Shab (elected)
Rap/Nono = really confusing
in real life, for a kid(dont think im a little kid cuz im not) i really like politics and understand it very well so i think this is good. But i do think that electing the leader accually WONT work because if you elect a leader then its a PRESIDENT . But anyways……. my other penguin has a army that elects leaders BUT since it only has two people, we will start doing election when we have about 20-30-40 people or so. I think electing leaders would work if you have a system that chooses a better leader if the winner is bad.
wow amazing
