Nachos and Hot Sauce Army Declare War on Army of Club Penguin – April 21, 2013
Nachos’ Rivalry with ACP
Throughout the years, Nachos and Army of Club Penguin had an intense rivalry that consisted of many wars. On the other hand, Hot Sauce Army became close allies with the former in part due to their history with the Clover Defenders. By early 2013, all three became involved in the war between the Black Alliance and the White Alliance. The Black Alliance’s efforts aimed to eliminate ACP as a threat and end their dominance since the alliance’s creation in 2011. While Nachos and ACP were each other’s allies in the war, their alliance collapsed by the time of the Light Troops-ACP war, as shown by Nachos’ assistance of LT in the conflict. Months later, the army faced off against ACP for a five-day war, where ACP achieved the most victories. Afterwards, they competed against one another in the first iteration of the March Madness tournament that ended in a Nachos victory. Ultimately, these events culminated in the exacerbated tensions between the two armies in April 2013.

Trickery by ACP & Nachos’ Declaration of War
In April 2013, the two armies kicked off a one-on-one war that resulted in multiple Nachos victories. These included their wins on Klondike and Down Under, where they had a significant size advantage. At the same time, Kenneth100 seemingly betrayed ACP by switching to Nachos after he reached the position of Second-in-command in ACP. Another staff member, Djgtjvgyhxgy, also stepped down from the Third-in-command rank. Both of their departures pointed to significant turbulence within the army. Their problems were further worsened by Kingfunks4‘s removal from his leadership position. His formal removal led to an official treaty put into effect by Swimmerboy01. However, his removal revealed itself as a farce by ACP to end the war. Once their trickery came into light, Nachos declared war again on April 21, as they felt the conflict did not come to a proper end. In the meantime, ACP experienced legitimate internal turmoil regardless of the fake removal of its leader. Nonetheless, the war resumed before Nachos achieved victory six days later. In the end, Kingfunks4’s retirement and Swimmerboy01’s ended a very conflicted time in the army’s history.

Hot Sauce Army’s Involvement
While ACP battled the Nachos, HSA dealt with its conflict with LT after the latter refused to sign a treaty to end the war. Simultaneously, they rose to first place in Club Penguin Army Central‘s Top Ten rankings with their allies, the Nachos. Their sizes proved that they posed a great challenge to ACP, especially with ACP’s drop in sizes by 2013. Consequently, they joined in with Nachos as they also felt slighted by ACP’s attempts to end the war early. They also wanted to punish ACP for the actions they engaged in to get out of the war. With their combined efforts, ACP suffered defeat in the war due to numerous internal problems and a size disadvantage. Essentially, both HSA and Nachos’ involvement in the war culminated in an ACP defeat.

Conclusion
Over the years, Nachos and ACP’s disagreements contributed to many interesting conflicts. At the same time, they were often friendly with each other, such as during the Black Alliance wars. These two armies proved themselves to be immensely powerful when they worked together. Regardless, their alliances never lasted as they existed as enemies for a significant amount of time. Through their allies, the conflicts between the two influenced how other armies interacted with each other. Next, HSA’s role in the conflict displayed their prowess as well as they were one of the strongest armies. Finally, Nachos and Hot Sauce Army’s determination to stay dead after the end of Club Penguin ended any chances of more conflicts with ACP. All in all, the declarations of war from HSA and Nachos changed the trajectory of Club Penguin Armies forever. What do YOU think of the way the war began? What do YOU think of both HSA and Nachos still being dead? Do YOU wish there could be more wars between these armies? What conflicts do YOU wish happened in the original CPA community?
