THE SUMMER PROCLAMATION
3 May 2023
WHEREIN Commander Prior Bumble, first of his name, proclaims the plans and policies of the Recon Federation of Club Penguin (RFCP) for the 2023 summer season.
Summer is the pinnacle of the year for RFCP. With school out, our members enjoy more time to spend with the army. The sacred anniversary of our founding is in June, and the Feddies are held each August. This document celebrates an end to the reduced activity during the academic year and launches us into a new era.
The following policies take effect immediately:
1) For the months of May, June, July, and August, auctions for Boosting Nitro shall occur twice a month rather than monthly, on the 1st and 15th each month.
2) For the months of May, June, July, and August, Cmdr. Prior, with the help of any boosts donated to the army, shall maintain Level 3 in the server.
3) To increase cultural and historical understanding, each promotion above the rank of Corporal shall require an Officer’s Blessing at the least and a Patriarchal Blessing at the most conferred following the announcement to make the soldier eligible for further promotion. If the soldier wishes not to receive a blessing, they must instead do one good deed in the physical world in the name of the army, pertaining to the ECHO and subject to approval.
4) RFCP hereby establishes a Department of State. This is not a Division, and the “Head” is the Commander. Two new positions under this Department shall be established, called Diplomat and Ambassador. This is not a rank, and anyone can hold this position following approval of an application. Diplomats and Ambassadors receive papers and jurisdiction to represent RFCP in other servers. For both, the goal is to let other servers know about us, recruit, answer questions, keep an eye out for potential allies and enemies, and promote a positive reputation for RFCP. Occasionally, Diplomats and Ambassadors will be given messages they are to relay in the foreign server.
- Being an Ambassador comes with a salary of $100 BB a week, payable upon delivering a brief report to the Division Head of Zero Cap Alpha (ZCA) every Saturday by noon Eastern, which will then be relayed to ZCA.
- Ambassadors must have a permanent, friendly greeting from RFCP on their Discord status as well as links to the Portal server, blog, and our Top 10 video on YouTube.
- Ambassadors and their assignments (servers) shall be listed on the RFCP website.
- Diplomats do everything an Ambassador does except there is no requirement to have the RFCP status on their profile. They are unpaid and unlisted on the website (we will keep a record of diplomatic assignments, but keep them unpublished), and they should defer to an Ambassador’s direction in times of question. Saturday reports are still required.
- Only one Ambassador per server is allowed. Diplomats may serve in a server with the Ambassador, but answer to them during their mission.
- Diplomats and Ambassadors must be active, or they will lose their position. Three consecutive weeks with no report will result in expulsion from the program.
- All assignments (servers) must be approved.
5) Ghost Recon Raid Division (GRRD) shall be repurposed to designing and executing server takeovers (for example, the Ant Colony was a server takeover). This change accomplishes two things:
a) It gives the division a relevant purpose in a modern day RFCP that no longer conducts military offenses.
b) It preserves the meaning of “raid”—we will now consider GRRD’s raiding to be of our own server.
The expectation is for the division to execute at least 1 takeover a month.
6) The new weekly schedule shall be:
Monday—Meme Monday.
Tuesday—Counting Bot Day. The goal shall be set and must be met by midnight Eastern for the prize!
Wednesday—Casino Night/raffle sales.
Thursday—Recruitment.
Friday—Ukahala/AoW event.
Saturday—Division Head Reports due, Dept. of State reports due, raffle winners announced.
Sunday—Sunday Fun-Day newspaper published (it’s back!).
Note that weekends are relatively free for miscellaneous events, digital or in-penguin. This space is ideal for SACO, Recon Hockey League (RHL), Silver Thirty (S30), RFCP-U, and Ghost Recon Raid Division to make use of.
7) The following shall also occur once a week, at varying days:
- Office Hours
8) Command room shall resume daily pings for orders.
To be released:
– Visual summer calendar (releasing 10 May 2023)
– Virtual application for Diplomats and Ambassadors (releasing 4 May 2023)
The Proclamation announces our 2023 summer goals…
- Reach 200 enlisted.
- Produce an RFCP history audiobook.
- Publish three new videos.
- Distribute the first trading cards.
- Hold 1 battle.
- Restart social media postings.
- More blogs.
- All Divisions functioning (including 1 RFCP-U semester and 1 RHL season by September and Division Heads expanding and hosting events)
The Proclamation also proclaims…
- Love for all who call RFCP their army—the Honorably Retired and the enlisted-to-be—but especial emphasis on those enlisted now, today, here.
- The strength and good health of the army at present.
Your Father, Eternally in Command,
