Retirement from Xat, Army, or Both?

The topic of retiring from an army but still staying on chat, enforcing army rules, talking with friends, attending events once in a while, doesn’t seem as much of a retirement I’d like to have. In fact, I highly doubt that is retirement at all. You’ve essentially quit the army, but if you’re not going to learn anything or go outside and get a life, then what’s the point?

You probably don’t know what retirement is. I’ll have to back up for you, because I can just hear you begging me to. It’s when someone stops attending events for  [a single] army/ies.  You don’t get a pension or anything like a normal retirement. You just quit the army. My advice? Don’t retire until you’re a decent owner rank in your army. Who would care if a new recruit retired 5 minutes into an army? Nobody.

I can guarantee you that any army has leaders that have retired (other than IW, but I’ll talk about that in another post). Here’s an example.

• Oagalthorp: ACP Leader & Creator – Retired.
• Fort57: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Dr Nono Jr: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Rapidy: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Kg 007: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Shaboomboom: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Boomer 20: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Saint1119: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Dryvit: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Shaboomboom (2): ACP Leader – Retired.
• Seanehawk: ACP Leader – Overthrown.
• Boomer 20 (2): ACP Leader – Retired.
• Saint1119 (2): ACP Leader – Retired.
• Dr Nono Jr: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Iasgae56: ACP Leader – Retired.
• Shaboomboom (3): ACP Leader – Retired.
• Matre10: ACP Leader – Retired.

Looking closely at the list, I could see that some leaders had retired not once, but up to twice and three times. What? How can you retire three times? Why would someone be so inconsistent so as to come out of retirement twice?

Shaboomboom: ACP Leader – Retired.

Shaboomboom (2): ACP Leader – Retired.

Shaboomboom (3): ACP Leader – Retired.

Now I can’t blame Shab for getting a little too bored with retirement every now and then, but you don’t have to come back every time you want to kill some time, just to retire again. A lot of the other retired ACP leaders have come on chat every now and then, such as Rapidy, Kg, Oagal, Boomer, etc.

To keep idiots from assuming this post is Anti ACP, I’ll have to examine another leaders table.

Urgh, clicking the “Make Moderator” button is such a burden for me to hold upon my back, my fingers are much too flimsy and dis-coordinated for me to handle.

I could rant about this topic on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on BUT it’s currently late night right now, and as much as I hate people who do this sort of  thing, I need my sleep. You better have enjoyed the post, and I’ll see you next time, readers.
