Yes, it is I, Tomtwelve here with Club Penguin Twelve Heroes Part 11.

Now I know what you’re thinking.

WOO HOO TOMTWELVE’S COMING BACK TO CLUB PENGUIN YAAAAY!!!!11

Actually, you’re probably not thinking that. BUT, if you WERE thinking that, then you’d be disappointed. Because I’m not going to start posting frequently again.

I’d have thought that the name of the site changing to “Tomtwelve’s ol’ Club Penguin Dojo” might have been some indication of that, but whatever.

Yeah, I don’t want to delete the site or anything, but I’m not going to keep posting on it. A while ago, I kinda wanted for some other person to take over the writing job for this site. But that was just a dream. I never ended up trying to find anyone else. But I eventually came to the conclusion…

that there is only ONE Tomtwelve!!

That would be a pretty dramatic ending for my last post.

Alas, this is not my last post. And when my last post comes, you won’t even KNOW when it’s my last post! I won’t even know when it’s my last post!

Twelve Heroes. There’s only one part left. And then… that’s the end.

Now, I have other matters of business for you.

Do you want an iPod?

Do you want one for a cheap price?

Do you want an iPod for FREE?

Yes, my friend, I can get you a free iPod. An iPod Touch, an iPod Nano, whatever you want. All you have to do… is go here. It’s like some sort of magic portal to free Apple products. You can even get a free Mac.

You don’t even believe me, do you. Look. You go there. You complete an offer from some other company. Which is usually free. That company gives the company that’s giving you free stuff money because you completed that offer. And then they use that money to buy your products. Is this an effective business strategy? I don’t know. But if it gives me free stuff, I LIKE IT!! Anyway, after you do the offer, you have to go refer other people. Uhh… which I know nothing about… cough cough.

So seriously. Get the cool Apple products. Right here.

And go to my other blog.

Yes. Ok. That’s it. You people are starting to creep me out. I’m running away now.

No I am not dead. But I’m not going to explain myself either.

Anyway, I see no particularly good way to start this, so I will just restate the fact that yes, I am retiring from the army of Club Penguin.  I finally decided that I was going to do it a few days ago.  I’m not going to go and say stuff like, “I’m way too old for this,” or, “I’m far too busy.”

I guess, in a nutshell, I retire now because I’m tired of waiting for a good time to retire.

Yeah, you see, I had always wanted to retire when I was in some great position.  And I decided many months ago that Lt. General wasn’t good enough.  Unfortunately, here I am at the same rank.  I was briefly a general, of course, but then I went right back down in a matter of weeks.  I had also wanted to retire in a time of, you know, peace and prosperity, like the kind you get after a major war. The only problem was, no war has been major enough for that.  Peace isn’t even considered “good” anymore, because we have too much of it. Well yeah, what I’m trying to say is that I would have liked to retire right after a great victory. Not at a time where I was just…bored.

I mean, a few days ago, I decided that it really was getting boring to go on chat all the time.  I didn’t even feel like checking the site. And ya know something else?  Somehow, many of the battles that were scheduled contradicted my seemingly empty schedule.  It doesn’t make too much sense. I’m not that busy.

(Note: I’m a bit frustrated at how unorganized this post is.)

My computer time has become pretty limited over the years, thanks to my parents.  (Not a bad thing, really.)

Plus, the fact that I’ve been in this army for over 2 years was starting to creep me out.

But for now, let’s forget the reasons why I’m retiring.  Because I guess I’ve come pretty far.

So how did my existence in Club Penguin armies go forth?  I’ll tell ya.

THE HISTORY OF TOMTWELVE

Once, long ago…and by that I mean July 2007.  I discovered the site of a small army.  Who knows what they were called.  But they did have some support.  Anyway, it was there that I found out about the UMA. Dun dun dunnn.  This small army was an enemy against UMA.  And using the logic of a CP Armies noob, I determined that UMA was evil, even though I knew nothing about them.

Though how I stumbled upon the ACP is a blur.  I remember finding the RPF site… I bet they told me about ACP.  Well, anyway, the post I saw on the ACP site was this one. Basically, this post was very exciting to me.  So I was going on Mammoth, fighting with the ACP…but I was actually standing outside of the group. For some reason, I didn’t feel like joining.  I just wanted to fight UMA at that point.  But then some guy came and told me to join, so I did.

Now hold it right there, I just want to point out something. That was the middle of the day, and we were just in the Dojo fighting.  The leaders weren’t even there.  You probably see what I’m getting at there–we were on Club Penguin all the time. And even if we do that now, it’s just ACP on a server.  Back then, it was multiple armies on the server at the same time.  I don’t even really know how everybody fit in the room.

Anyway, back to the story of Tomtwelve. I was excited to be a part of ACP.  I went on Club Penguin, and the great part was that the army would often be there.  Chat wasn’t really important at that point.  I fought through the rest of WWIII, and well…I never actually was at a battle when we lost.

Wars continued to take place. But there was also the occasional invasion of Mammoth.  Yes, I know what you’re thinking: We already owned that server.  But the invasions were what you now call “recruiting,” I guess.

At some point, the ranks were reorganized, and I received the rank of colonel, I think…Anyway. Stuff continued to go well. There are some conflicts that I can not forget.  For example, Oagalthorp once wrote the history of ACP, and in that history, he wrote of UMA’s past, too… Well they were mad, and we had to deal with some moron named…Lect or something. I mean, how annoying.

And there was also that one war against the nachos… Oh man that was fun to read.  By that I mean, Oagalthorp and AkaBob were arguing the heck out of each other.  And it was being done through the ACP and nacho sites, so yeah, pretty entertaining.

So of course, Oagalthorp retired eventually, with Fort taking over as leader.  Now with Fort, we had promotions much more regularly.  And wars much LESS regularly.  Now this was fine with us, really.  Cause I was rising through the ranks.  Yeah, who knew I’d regret this change much later on?

(Note: I realize that I am giving a history of ACP here, but these are good memories for me!!)

Anyway, the events that took place at the end of the Fort era were crazy.

Oh, but uh…I ought to tell you that at this time, I became the Club Penguin news guy on the ACP site!  Woo!

But as I was saying, crazy stuff happened.  I’m gonna make this clear, though.  Fort gave the rights to Oagalthorp to choose the new leader.  Yes, he gave written permission to Oagalthorp… So Oagalthorp narrowed it down to two candidates, from which he would choose. Rapidy and…

ME???

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Nah, that wasn’t my actual reaction.  On the comments of that post, I debated with Rapidy, but our opinions didn’t seem to be too different, and the debate was not firey at all. In the end Rapidy would have became leader…except Fort decided to choose Nono before Oagal announced his decision.  And it all went downhill from there.

In a series of crazy events, Kg eventually became leader. His era was short.  Then there was Shab, who was elected. …Uh, I’m not gonna say anything about that. But at some point, my author position on the site MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED!!! The mystery still remains…WHY??

Yeah so after more conflict, Boomer became leader, and I consider him to be the best since Oagalthorp.

But after his time, problems occurred again with the next leaders, which is why I have something to tell you.

CHOOSE THE NEXT LEADER CAREFULLY.

The End

Ok, so now that I told you the history of myself, I have some more stuff to say.

WHY WE’RE BRINGING RELIGION INTO THIS

Now, on chat, there was a time when Saint suggested that my retirement would be funny because I’m Mormon. Now, the way Saint has been talking as if Mormons are super-different has started to make me a little mad… But still, I thought that a Mormon retirement would be a good idea.

But how would I do that? Do I “sing” a hymn? Do I quote scripture? Maybe I should just tell you guys like, everything about Mormons, because you people don’t seem to know much. But nah.  What I should tell you, and must tell you, because many of you know nothing, is that our real name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (yeah you can see why people gave us a nickname, though they could’ve just stuck with LDS…).  And in case you didn’t realize this (cough cough) we friggin only have ONE WIFE!! Yeah, I could tell you like, everything about the religion, but this post is long enough already.  But besides the fact that are standards are higher than the average person, we’re pretty normal.

Ha ha, check out this video that was made by Mormons!!  You wouldn’t even know if I hadn’t told you…heh heh.

OTHER RANDOM STUFF

Yeah I’ll be bored and go on chat, of course.  I always have to go there and brag about how like, a Colorado team just won (BRONCOS ARE 6 AND 0, BABY!!!!) or like, act like a noob, or like, tell you what I’m listening to.

I had ideas for ACP, if I ever became leader.  I thought of how I could get us more wars, and make us more organized at the same time.  The answer became to make the government more like that of the United States’, where it is actually not the president that declares war.  However, since a certain conflict known as the Barbary Wars, the president has emergency war powers, which allowed him to declare war whenever he wanted.  But he has to report back to congress within 90 days.  I thought about basing our army on that system, and have a whole constitution. But hey, oh well.  I don’t know if that would’ve worked.  But who knows how long I’d have to wait to see.

Ah…

Yeah so, sinners who have never played Zelda, go do that.

If you haven’t heard Paramore’s new album Brand New Eyes, go buy it.

And you should come to Colorado some time, because it’s awesome here.

And once again, the Broncos are 6 and 0, so…eat it.

And now I’m trying to think of some way to close this out dramatically, but I got nothin.

So…PEACE OUT, FOOLS!

On October 24th, it’s the 4th anniversary party. Yup.  That’s four years of penguin MADNESS.  Same place as usual–the coffee shop.  What will the colors for the hat be this year??

The volcano continues to make us mad.  Just sitting there spewing out smoke.  Is it gonna actually do anything, or what? Sensei says, don’t ask me, ask a science genius.  Well, I hope something gets destroyed.  That would be awesome. It’s awesome when “bad” stuff happens in Club Penguin.

And Squidzoid, the awesome play, is back again.  Yeaaah.

Of course, I guess I hadn’t actually ever thought about it…but still. It’s a good idea.

So again, let’s get this straight. By gathering all those fiery items, that somehow made a volcano a splode. … … Wow. Aw, but what’s this? No danger?! Rip-off! I wanted for like, Aunt Arctic’s house to get burninated or something. But, I suppose soon, something will happen… And of course, as October begins, the traditional halloween catalog will be released.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

In other news, there still are no good wars in Club Penguin army.  Because wars are just too short. We pull out of them way too fast.

But I’m not feeling like posting.

Now, the Club Penguin sky has turned a gorgeous orange. What this means is that there’s a scavenger hunt where you have to go find all the firey stuff.

You’ll be glad to know that this post is so quick because I’m making a video.

Patriotism

Why did they name 9/11 Patriot Day?  Patriot may not seem like a relevant word, if you think about who patriots were. They rebelled against their own country, but through their bravery, this great new country was born.  The word, however, has undoubtedly gotten some different meaning.  Now we use ‘patriotic’ when someone has much pride for this country.  And personally, I think many lack it.  Of course, it’s a bit hard to be patriotic when there’s those facts that China will overtake us economically in a few years, or the fact that other countries are developing technology faster than us.

And of course, the country is divided into political parties, and argue and argue and argue.  It gets us no where.

But a fact of society is that when bad times come, people have to set aside their disagreements, their differences.  They must stop criticizing the people that are trying to do anything they can to fix the problems.  It happened 8 years ago, as the country was shocked by one of the worst terrorist attacks in history.  But the leaders of the country at the time chose to take action.  And through time, we officially survived the attacks.  We are lucky that the economy wasn’t destroyed or anything.

So they name the holiday Patriot Day years later.  What do we do on it?  Somehow, it seems to be becoming less important year by year.

Yet, on Patriot Day, when we choose to remember the holiday, will bring us together.  No one insults Obama for remembering 9/11.  That has nothing to do with actual politics.

So yes, the name is a good name.  If the holiday is remembered, we ought to forget about normal politics, and remember the event that was so important to us 8 years ago.

Where were you?

I remember where I was when I heard the news.  I remember the following days.  I remember my thoughts.  And I was only in first grade.  So why does an event like this stick with you, even if you’re no where near the attack, you don’t know anyone who died, and you didn’t even see it?!  I bet anything that your relatives remember where they were when they heard of Pearl Harbor, if they happen to be old enough to have lived back then.

Of course, what does this sound like to a first grader?  I mean, the teacher’s solemnly telling you that planes crashed into some sort of twin towers. Well, you know, I’m pretty sure that I didn’t know of great evil.  I didn’t know that people would ever think it necessary to hurt so many people.  What more violence did I know than what was on cartoons? Some people think first graders can’t even lie (but they can, I swear)–they’re not going to know anything about malice! So of course I just thought that whole thing was an accident.  I remember how I was walking around while thinking.  I don’t know why I have such good memory of thinking that it was in accident.

So then at some point, they’re playing “God Bless the USA” over the intercom, and for some reason, a friend just thinks it’s funny and is laughing, so he gets scolded for that.  Or maybe that was the next year…I forget.  It was definitely 9/11, though.  But back to 2001, I also remember some assembly where they had a giant check.  Probably only had a hundred dollars on it.  But that was what was being donated, I guess.  I remember that I wanted to donate money too.  But I had none.  And again, I don’t know exactly when that was, but at some point I was selling lemonade and promising to donate it.  Not much of a success.

Anyway, any memory of 9/11 stuff just won’t leave my head.  And I didn’t even know what it looked like until about 5 years later.  The images of smoke fascinated me.  What was most horrifying was the people on the streets who were running away.

Now we’re talking about an event that raised our security levels bigtime and sent the troops off to Afghanistan and countries of that sort to go fight terrorism.  Some of you may not know what impact this terrible event had.  And some of you may not even know how it happened.  Most of you do, luckily, but I find it disturbing how my younger siblings know almost nothing of this attack.  The terrorists did it by hijacking planes and then crashing them into their targets.  The people in the plane were killed. And many of the people in the buildings were killed. Just to be clear, thousands died.  And it wasn’t just the twin towers in NYC that got hit.  The pentagon was attacked, too. But those on the 4th hijacked plane took heroic actions, and the plane crashed into a field somewhere.

Decreasing Importance?

So why the heck did I almost forget about this day?  Usually, I know when the eleventh is coming.  But I didn’t remember what day it was until the day came.  The victims got their moment of silence, but nothing more.

But I honestly think it’s because there’s been much more on my mind ever since High School started.  Madness.

9/11 was yesterday.  Yes.  I know.

But a Patriot Day post is a tradition here.  Those people who lost their lives all deserve certain respect.

So, bye.

The news today is that the fair is tomorrow. I mean, it won’t be much different from the one last year. A real fair is fun every year, ya know? But not a Club Penguin one. This fair is 10 days long. The Migrator will be here. And you can play a memory game there. Apparently there’s a great puffle circus. Interesting.

Well that’s about it for today.

I’m not kidding.  It’s an actual Twelve Heroes.  This is not a joke. This is not a Rick Roll.  Except for the first 10 seconds… It kinda ruins the fun if I tell you, but I don’t know if I want to risk anyone not watching it. xP

Ok, so in this one, he tries to find the missing hero.  And the 9th one, too.  But does he succeed?  The answer is, no.  Now I will tell you right now, that even though that giant explosion didn’t really blow up all of Club Penguin, Tomtwelve is still going to be in some trouble in the next episode.

So, yeah, that’s all I have here.
