SPARKLE, SM Army League Headquaters – Throughout history, the community has seen the rise and fall of many different armies. While leagues have always ranked these armies objectively, one question begs to be asked: which of these armies is undeserving of the praise they get?
Commonplace among the army community is the use of Top Ten leaderboards to determine which army is number one for any given week. These leaderboards use the sizes from each event an army hosts throughout the week to decide a score that army recieves, the highest score of course slotting in the number one seat. As mathematical as this way of doing things may be, does it really accurately represent the quality of an army overall?
As great as these scores are for people who enjoy looking at big numbers and spreadsheets all day, i.e., nerds, they can be completely discarded for our purposes. Certainly, having a score on a leaderboard designed to rank an army against others holds little merit compared to how much aura an army has. You can be the best objectively, but if you have zero aura and no style, then who cares how many praises people sing about your objective success?
Let’s take this concept and apply it to to the current top army, the Army of Club Penguin. ACP is an absolute beast in the community, able to gather sizes of over 120+ with ease and take as many trophies as they’d like to, yet they have absolutely zero sauce. I mean, take one look at their uniform and see for yourselves the complete lack of drip ACP exibits.
A letterman jacket to war? What, are they gonna sing “We’re All in This Together” too? Guess that’s why they need the guitar, and those boots REALLY aren’t doing much to save the outfit. Not even some creased Jordans, no they HAVE to wear the boots. The cherry on top is the helmet, which while cool, is STOLEN from the infinetely cooler S/M army Romans. Sad to see that ACP has to steal drip just to try and save their own outfit. No amount of trophies can redeem a uniform this uncool.
The Small Medium Army League reached out to several community members to get their take on this burning question.
Who is the most overrated army and why?
Ams, Templars Advisor: ACP, why does March Madness has as a branding the entire ACP core with the clovers and all? Do that to all armies or none of them 😉
Kath, Water Vikings 2iC: Mmmmmmmh….. Overrated…. I think…. Wait, I don’t need a lawyer, right? Maybe the oldest one… cough RPF…
I mean, they the oldest, so it’s like the oldest siblings of the family who everyone talks about
Thunder, Shadow Legionnaries Leader: It has to be PIC, this can be related to Dark Vikings, but its not, they thought they were invinsable with the support of many meanwhile they were getting in the most stupid leaders to grace this modern community
Salah, Dark Warriors Leader: Most overrated has to totally be the Light Troops like come on they’re already 67 feet deep underground and somehow they still stink :E8:
Klombe, Fire Vikings Leader: pizzaioli, we win everything without moving a muscle
While armies can be seen as good by some court overlord, it seems statistics are far from the most meaningful way to determine an army’s quality. Leagues can try to rank these armies however they want, but a lame army will always be a lame army, no matter what the numbers say. Who do you think is the most overrated army of all time? What armies do you think deserve the praise they get?
