Update: Since this post apparently was deleted from the ACP site for reasons unknown, I have re-posted it here. Hopefully Ken and Flipper can sign it again.

Hello ACP, I expected myself to never post here again but unfortunately I was convinced by one of my close friends to make this post so without further ado, my post:

For a while now we’ve been under the administration of the retired and not the active leaders. I attempted to remove myself from that list of retired “masters” but obviously was not able to completely remove the power or influence I had or still have, despite my exit from chat and armies altogether.

Though I had hoped to never post again after my last post on CPAC, this one was important enough to break that expectation. There has been another person around with power that he never should have been granted, with influence that he never should have been given, along with a medal of honor that was given by Saint that would never have been approved had the active “masters” been asked, Boomer or myself, rather than asking Oagal who could hardly be called active or up to date on current events, mainly on chat.

As an “elder” of ACP and someone who has been fairly active and up to date on most, if not all of the events that happened during this person’s “rule” over ACP, I believe that this person should never have been given the power or influence he received. This person, is

Dryvit

Dryvit has been using his power and influence for a while to achieve his own twisted goals along with using the Senate as his own personal device to get what he wanted. Even when pointed out, the current leader(s) didn’t have the backbone to do what should have been done which was deal with the problem. Instead they merely scolded Dry and let him continue to wield his position as President over the Senate he had corrupted.

That, along with many other “mistakes,” as the weak leaders called it, are the reason why I have been convinced to write this post, even if it is about 2 years late. I feel like everyone should learn about the corruption ACP faced at the time along with the mistakes that led up to Dry’s continued power in ACP. I feel like everyone should learn this in order to spot it and prevent it, should it happen again.

I’d like to start with his brother, Divotoo. I didn’t care to bring him into this when I started writing but I realized that it is needed. Dry and Div basically became noticed around the same time. Dry as the older brother, the protector. As Dry gained more power, Div became more and more a “saint.” Anyone who would do anything against Div would be publicly bashed, and later on punished. Div became known as the sinless person he is remembered as to many people. But he was also a tool of Dry’s to cyber bully others who spoke against Div even if what they were saying was the truth. Dry used Div to make people look bad and then used his younger status to lower the image of others. It was the first sign of corruption from an up and coming Dry.

Dry became leader after Saint retired in 2009 and in the short time that he was leader he managed to cause an anti-ACP (anti-Dry) that called for an election. Granted, it turned into a campaign to get Commando the leadership spot in ACP but in its early stage, the arguments posed were realistic and completely true. Without other liked people such as myself around during Dry’s leadership, we would have been attacked repeatedly. Dry not only managed to cause his own soldiers to dislike him but he also managed to lose nearly every ally that ACP had. Boomer attempted to step in and help improve the image of the ACP and keep Dry was destroying ACP.

So what did Dry do when Boomer stepped in? He did what any small, inconsiderate fool would do; he had a temper tantrum and quit. Or in his words,

“I understand that Boomer was forced into retirement, but his posts and behavior on chat are just too much for me to lead through. I offered Boomer the job back as leader, he declined saying he was too busy. But he was not too busy to call my leadership and ACP soldiers lazy, find and post graphs to show how much better his leadership was, and then tell me that every high rank had pc’d him to agree with him.”

My take on this is the same as the edit Boomer had before he remove it for one that would allow Dryvit and himself a better public image.

“You know for a fact most of what you said is not true, and I’m sorry you have to use me as an excuse for your desire to resign your position in ACP, but right now you are failing your soldiers when they need you most.”

Dry took Boomer’s posts personally and in a fit of rage he left the entire army to Seanehawk aka Meat. While this post isn’t about Meat, it was known and made clear by various people, Dry included, that Meat was not ready to be leader. He was known to be thickheaded and stubborn and to not be the friendliest person, especially when he disagreed, which was often. He was not ready to accept the power as he couldn’t trust others and thus wasn’t the best at working with others. We saw this when he immediately created a new chat and made himself admin on the ACP site a mere hours after being given the rank of leader by Dry.

Dry’s rash, immature action of giving Meat the rank of leader outright shows that Dry was by no means responsible enough to be given the power he had nor was he responsible enough to keep it. Dry was warned yet he, without thinking, went and made Meat leader. And we all know how that turned out. And want to know what Dry’s response afterwards was? It wasn’t an appology, an acceptance of responsibility, no. Instead a comment on my [2nd] retirement post:

“You never told me “Told ya so” about Meat, but you sure did warn me a billion times or so.”

Ignorant due to his pride to the end, he was obviously not responsible enough for the power or decisions that being leader bought along. He still continues to let his pride override his own admittance of responsibility of making Meat leader with a comment made in 2011, two years after the reign of Meat.

“Everyone agreed Meat was great choice. Only after did he change.”

The above statement makes me laugh, we all knew Meat was not a good choice. We all warned him but he refused to listen. Making Meat leader was intended to be a punishment to the retired, mainly Boomer, for interfering in his leadership.

Lets jump about a month ahead from this point. Meat was overthrown, Boomer had become leader again. Now a punishment was needed for Meat. And who better than Dry and his brother Div to create that punishment [sarcasm]. What was created was a horrible injustice and a gigantic display of cyber bullying, the “Rotten Meat Bill.” [See my argument and call for the repealment of that bill here ]. The bill basically banned Meat from ever existing in ACP again and threatened impeachment to any leader that attempted to repeal it. A little harsh for a leader that merely refused to give up his spot at the time, I think so.

What made it worse was the fact that Meat remained on chat but disguised as another person. And we all knew it, well I didn’t, but Dry was among the people that knew. So once I learned I banned him, as was the proper thing to do. He came back of course, so I banned him again. After this cycle happened multiple times throughout the week I realized how pointless it was to keep banning him so I left him alone. And what should the corruptness that is Dryvit do but the day I stopped banning him he accused me of not following the Rotten Meat Bill and called for my impeachment [I'd like to add that everyone laughed at Dry and then ignored him] yet he himself never attempted to ban Meat, not even once.

Later on Dry made in 2010 a horrible statement about Meat:

“I believe the psychopathic piece of excrement she was referring to is Seane hawk/meat. The most pathetic excuse for a human in modern history. Mark my words, you will read about him jumping from some building and his apartment will have foil over all the windows and he will have been friendless, by choice and action. This same oxygen wasting excrement, urged Draggy to kill herself because she was beyond anyone ever caring about her. My Father is aware of this and is checking the feasibility/legality of bringing criminal action.”

No one deserves to be spoken of like this, especially not someone whose actions were done in a virtual world for a virtual game. Yet this comment, these ideas, they were allowed to pass from him. And if someone else has spoken like this, if someone else had said this against someone else, Dry would have been at their throats in minutes. Its funny because this is hardly a blip in the history of Dry’s corruption.

The Senate used to be a big part of the ACP, at least it was when Dry lead it. While leading it, the only progress the Senate made was towards the removal of myself and my efforts to improve this army. When this was pointed out to Matre, one of the most corrupt leaders I have seen in this army[he took xats for modship and ranks and put others who did him favors before the army], Matre merely shrugged and told Dry to knock it off or he would do something. And this was only after the 5th or 6th time it had been brought to his attention.

Dry used the Senate as his tool to repeatedly attempt [he was eventually successful for a short period of time] to banish unmod week which was the only way that the repeat offenders on chat were kept unmodded [as I said, Matre was corrupt which didn't help the chat situation at all]. Along with trying to banish unmod week, Dryvit repeatedly used the Senate to try to have myself unmodded along with impeached at least once. Looking back on the senate, it did nothing but try to do something to myself. Eventually Senate was disbanded or Dryvit removed from Senate, at which point he scurried off to his hideout to sulk and wait until everyone forgot.

Lets skip forward a few months, ignore some events including the horrible leadership of a combination of two of the worst leaders ACP had [Saint & Dry, one horribly corrupt and one who didn't give a crap about what was going on along with not being able to get into a confrontation]. Lets skip to a few months ago, before Juju disappeared from us. Dryvit had picked a new target to bully, along with bullying the rest of chat, Foxtails.

At some point, during the many unmod weeks, Dry kept taunting Fox with lies that Boomer was pushing for her unmodding. After talking to Boomer himself, it was proven to be a lie. Yet in another unmod week, Dry received twice the average votes for anyone else that week along with the most votes any owner had received.

Along with lying to Fox in order to bully her he ignored others as they broke rules and instead only watched and punished Fox as you can see here. He later, inappropriately and completely out stepping his place, asked Fox if she was a drunk as admitted here and with witnesses here. Of course no one stepped in, like the current leaders [one of which who admitted to being a witness aka ken], to stop this bullying but just because the leader fails to correct this behavior that does not mean someone else can’t.

Therefore, due to all the acts of corruption, due to all of the bullying, the insulting, the injustices caused by him, and the manipulation of the people around him I charge Dryvit with corruption and bullying and as thus I demand that he be punished as so.

I believe that if Dryvit believes that someone such as Meat, who merely refused to give up his leadership at the time, should be banished forever from ACP, both from the army and chat, should receive a punishment of almost equal value. I feel a suitable punishment is the following:

-Removal of a misgiven Medal of Honor due to obvious poor judgement and failure to live up to the values and expectations that are expected of a Medal of Honor awardee.

-Demotion down to at least author, if not contributor or complete removal from the ACP site. I believe that continuation of editor on the ACP site continues to give Dry some power and influence.

-At least permanent Modship, if not Membership. Seeing as Cas was banned forever, a major reason being cyber bullying, and Maz/Tal were constantly unmodded for it, I believe that due to the cyber bullying Dry displayed throughout the years can only be rectified by a punishment that he will not go unnoticed. I believe that the shame of having to come onto chat as a mod and having people ask why he is is gives Dry an idea of how the people he bullied felt.

I ask, and demand, that these be greatly considered and taken into effect. If you feel the same of myself, feel free to uneditor me and remove my Medal of Honor. That is how much faith and determination I have in fixing this grave error that was allowed to slip through the cracks for so long.

Thank you,
Shaboomboom
