For immediate release, addressed to the Water Vikings and the Army of Club Penguin:
Today we were meant to battle the Army of Club Penguin in a much-anticipated practice battle. Unfortunately, for the third time now, this had to be canceled. Prior, both us and ACP were to blame for communication issues—the first being us assuming ACP would battle us on January 28th and again on February 4th.
We were heavily looking forward to this battle, but unfortunately, it did not go as planned. We had asked ACP if they wanted judges, and Calgo initially agreed before retracting his agreement and our two armies devolving into arguments. We eventually elected to just not battle ACP after the comments were exchanged.
For the record, we do not regret our frustrations with ACP for changing their minds all-of-a-sudden. Nothing has changed on that front. We are right to be frustrated (as was ACP). That said, I apologize to my army for the premature decision to not battle ACP. Instead of at least compromising and getting the necessary top-ten points/having a fun “rematch” that we wanted, I called ACP’s bluff and eventually became apparent I was not gonna be able to put together a replacement battle.
It is criminal that I made you all [our WV troops] feel hyped for a battle that both we and ACP should’ve communicated better on. It is unhealthy for all of you to prepare for a battle that would just fall apart. We should know better than to not flex our muscles when it is not necessary.
The hatred towards ACP is not necessary. We’ve been working so hard to heal relations after World War 8 and the IW drama in November 2022. I am frustrated like most of you on how this fell out but the calls for a retaliatory action are even more short-sighted than me not compromising for the battle. Your frustration should be directed towards me, as I failed to acknowledge the consequences.
To conclude this, I will enact a policy for this army effectively immediately: we will not be practicing battling ACP for the months of March and April. Whilst yes the disrespect demonstrated also by ACP’s leader was uncalled for (especially after he stated he did not want to even cooperate with us to straighten this out), it is more so grounded in the fact that I’d prefer this toxicity subside before we practice battling one another again. ACP will not be classified as an enemy, for what it is worth.
I’d like to remind all of my staff and high command that we have something big planned soon. We cannot distract ourselves with petty drama with ACP. We cannot distract ourselves with raids or some war. We cannot distract ourselves from our goal of being the best. I’m frankly done with us being pushed around like the sickman army we’ve been known by for years. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.
