The Long Lost History of the Spartans

 

No this post is not about the Greek Spartans led by Potatoes4, but by the Halo Spartans, a.k.a, the army in which has a long, sad history, and is not remembered. This is their history

Early Days

2006

In 2006, ACP was striving. Armies were rising everywhere and war was in the air. Because things were going so well and he had to leave for a few days, Oagalthorp, the leader of ACP left some generals in charge. In these few days, corruption erupted. Nrop (one of those generals), betrayed ACP and created his own army, the CPUNSC. This became evident after Nrop had started a “Halo Stories” thread on the Miniclip forums (the way they communicated back then). This brought many people on his side and he was urged to create an army. The army almost immediately became a rebellion, and on Oagal’s return, hell was unleashed. A “bitter rivalry” formed between the two armies and they fought constantly. Although ACP destroyed the CPUNSC, (then allied with what was left, which was mostly dust) small branch units became what was once that. These units consisted of the Elites 1G, and… The Spartans.

The First Flames

2006 – 2007

The Spartans roamed through CP for a year, fighting small armies and growing bigger. They grew to extraordinary sizes, and started becoming quite feared on Mammoth. They never had a site, or any records for that matter, and no one exactly knows who their leader was. Some people don’t even know an army of this strength existed. They fought mostly in the Dojo with the Elites. These battles filled the Dojo, and the Spartans maxed up to 40. They fought amazingly and soon the Elites made an alliance. That is when things changed.

The First Fall

2007

After starting an alliance with the Elites, the army disappeared. They didn’t gradually go inactive, they just disappeared. No one knows where they went, or why they did. There is much mystery into what happened to them, but one thing was for sure: they were gone. Small groups of Spartans who never had been taken into that void of disappearance still roamed Club Penguin. They raised new Spartans but most attempts failed and sadly every attempt would. One that was a success for a small time was a group of Spartans with the leader Pizzarn. They fought small armies like one called “The Ninjas” (although there were no real ninjas back then, it was only a myth). The Spartans also fought an early army that Lorenzo Bean had created. The Spartans fought well for a while, but Pizzarn soon faded into retirement. He told his apprentice, Joee125, to lead the Spartans, and carry on the legacy.

The Lost Lapse

2007-2008

As the new leader, Joee tried leading the Spartans to victory, but all he found was himself, fighting alone. He tried to keep them alive, but it’s hard to keep something that’s stopped breathing alive. Because of this, he gave up and left. He left all armies and stopped even trying. For a while he went inactive and no one knows exactly what happened then, but for some reason, he came back, a year later.

A Leader of Legacy, and Extinction

2008

Joee125 came back to armies in the December of 2008. He arrived just in time to see ACP win another Christmas Tournament. Earlier, when the Spartans hadn’t been attacking other small armies, they had been rebelling against ACP. They failed of course, but Joee was reignited with the hatred of ACP, and decided to restart the Spartans and attack them. While at the Christmas Tourny, he met a penguin named “Striker 214″. Striker was the head of a news site (used to be famous) called “All Cheats for Club Penguin“.  Striker has been one of the Spartans in the Golden Ages and decided to turn his cheats site into a site for the Spartans. Joee was immediately added to the site and he and Striker became leaders of the 3G.

Oasis

2008 – 2009

The Spartans recruited like mad. They got around 15-20 at events… and only 5 on chat. They always fought unscheduled events and still did better than most medium armies today. No one really noticed them (well maybe a small army suddenly disappearing each week, but no, the Spartans weren’t known well). Joee wanted to get noticed, and he wanted to kick ACP’s butt. So without telling ACP or even declaring war, they attacked ACP at a recruiting session. They fought a while and left. They attacked AGAIN. And after losing, AGAIN. Their stubbornness was annoying ACP, but ACP never knew who they were or what they were doing, until an invasion was scheduled. The Spartans attacked ACP and the citizens of Mammoth who disliked ACP joined in. They fought for hours. It was much like the Battle of Bunker Hill in the Revolutionary War. They retreated and attacked, retreated and attacked retreated and attacked… Until ACP got mad and surrendered. I guess they figured it wasn’t worth it and gave the Spartans a part of the server. They maxed over 30, maybe even 40. And with that…

Good Night

2009

They died. A few people tried bringing them back, but they failed. And so this was present until now. No one has brought them back, and I doubt anyone will. Joee is still roaming around somewhere today, but I doubt even he would like to bring them back. He accomplished amazing things and probably should be remembered for something. He also helped with the making of BMA and LT, two very successful armies. The legacy of this army might never be heard anywhere, but they had a certain spirit that stuck. It’s called, Rebellion. Joee also went onto create Black Operation Units that changed the Army World forever. Now, no one knows where the heck he is…

Interview with Joee125… Old Spartan Leader

Joee125= Green

Me= Black

Me: What do you think was your greatest achievement?

Joee125: Getting to meet so many good people and friends in the CP Armies.

Me: Do you know what ever happened to the Spartans?

Joee125: No… But I met with a really old Spartan that had joined the Elites and he had started a Black Ops Unit and he didn’t know either.

Me: What is a major problem with small armies these days?

Joee125: Inactiveness and Bullies. Bigger armies look down on us when all we do is look up to them. It’s a shame. That’s one of the reasons we attacked ACP, I figured if we took them out Small Armies would unite and get better. No luck.

Me: Well now we have CPAC and CPUN, they contribute to small armies.

Joee125: But not enough. They don’t care much about us… Small armies will come and go. It doesn’t matter how much they win, all anyone cares about are the famous leaders, good graphics, and a big size. You can’t exactly pull off good tactics with a small army either.

Me: Do you think the army will ever return?

Joee125: I would like to, but I don’t have a lot of time. I’d like the army to stay legendary though, and that small armies won’t ever give up. I saw what happened in Sour and I think that proves my point about Small Armies: they can do something spectacular.

Me: Well thanks for your time.

Joee125: No problem

So do you agree with him? Are small armies really not credited for what they do in the army world?

Eminence of the Bitter

Operation Sour rose quickly and fell just as fast. I am not going to beat around the bush, but present to you the reason why it was bashed down so hard because of today’s culture. It spread two common characteristics, that are brothers in arms for one thing that sparks civil war the most swiftly. These two attributes are Rebellion and Revolution.

The Essential Plot

Rebellion became present once the whole operation was announced by the Nachos. They proposed the idea of ACP, IW, and themselves to battle the Small Army Society. This was because a few small armies had invaded their servers without a 24 hour notice and claimed it anyway, without the knowledge of the Nachos. Once Tanman posted the operation, soldiers took action. Although this was the nachos doing, ACP and IW also joined in because they could relate to the “noob” armies always invading their servers for no reason or not even scheduling an  invasion. Members of ACP, IW, and Nachos are all in other Small Armies. Some lead them, some are just in them for fun, though these members were torn. They would be forced to pick a side: either stick with three powerful armies you are a mod or member in, or stick with many small armies that you lead or are a mod in. In this, members couldn’t decide and in their confusion, rebelled against the world powers. This got things started. ACP, Nachos, and IW chats were thrown into havoc and immense chaos. ACP chat (in which I was present at) was gagged over five times because people started protesting. RPF even started protesting on Mammoth. Many penguins joined in to end this operation, saying it was unfair, stupid, or for whatever reason. As this rebellion grew, the owners were overwhelmed which led to the next attribute: Revolution.

Once rebellion erupts, revolution follows, likewise in Sour. The protesters were getting out of hand, we were on the brink of mass civil warfare, and another world war. The Nachos hadn’t meant for that, but it happened. Because the protesting was too much, Tan announced on his chat, the operation was over.

The Schemers

Although Tan, Jcapp, Ken, and Icey put this operation into action, it wasn’t essentially their idea. Oagalthorp, ACP’s creator, was the one (along with Tan) who came up with this plan. Sources also say, this operation wasn’t just developed a week or two ago, but it’s been around for over a month. Although that is just a conspiracy, and not proven yet, questions still remain.

 

The Reason

Like Order 67, Sour was to see how well Small Armies did under the pressure and force of the World Powers. The main idea was to reunite them. 67 was sort of a fail, but Sour paid more costs. Armies were wreaking with insane chaos for the few hours it was in action. Though it also could be the Nachos ticked off at Small Armies for invading their land and decided to kick their butts. Whatever the reason, I am pretty darn sure we will be seeing Sour again, but in a new form.

Conclusions

Since I’ve already wrote over 500 words, I’m just going to simply say that it could’ve done a lot – but it didn’t. So in reality it just shook up armies, scared the crap out of some soldiers, and started unified protesting. In a way it helped CP Armies, and in a way, it make them all pee in their pants.
