The Night Before Promptions
By: Pookie437
Edited By: Emcee Moon Emoji
‘Twas the night before promptions, and all throughout main,
The troops were all stirring with hopes of ranks they’d gain.
Troops were active in main chat and attending events,
In hopes that St. Ulti and Plane would fulfill dreams they’d dreamt.
All the comments submitted, all the forms handed in,
They envisioned colors newer than the ones that they’d been.
With Wolves in his fur suit and me in clown shoes,
We had just gone to bed for our holiday snooze.
Just then, out in main, there began such a fuss!
Maybe it was from some recruits that were sus?
Wolves woke me up with a quick homiekiss,
As we flew to go see what was causing all this.
It wasn’t a recruit, or a no-good troop stealer,
Not even a spy or a shady meme dealer.
But instead what we found, was the perfect concoction:
Two red colored roles delivering promptions.
Peering in close, revealed an Aussie and a box…
It was St. Ulti and Plane who had finished promption talks!
Led by their officers, the two RC’s came,
As they typed each officer up and listed screen names.
“Now, Rocket! Now, Moon! Now, Chaos and Crazzy!
Now, Tulia! Now, Elex! Now, Yammie and Cassie!
Lead us to announcements, all the way down to memes!
Lead us to the voice chats, Explicit and Clean!”
With that being said and with no other option,
The RC’s flew to deliver their promptions.
And so off they went, dropping ranks down below,
Making main chat explode into a massive rainbow.
With the ranks handed out, the promptions seemed done.
Just then what I saw was a red number one.
I looked to find out who had sent this DM —
It was St. Ulti and Plane, it was finally them!
Dressed up in a box with a big orange logo,
Adorned in cardboard that read The Home Depot;
There the man stood with a big red backpack.
This had to be St. Ulti, but why was he black?
Next to him stood a man whose height was quite great.
Made out of metal, he quipped “G’day mate!”.
Two wings sprawling out, this wasn’t a train.
This couldn’t be other than the man called St. Plane!
But why would these men both and come visit me?
I’ve been pretty good, would they not agree?
As I started reading, my heart began racing.
Had they come to tell me that it’s me they’re replacing?
I attended events and tracked all my stats,
So why were they here, maybe they noticed that?
Could I be new RC? Could I maybe get banned?
Could it be my third promption to Second in Command?
But instead of a new rank, I saw comedy gold —
A quality meme, it would seem I’d been gnomed!
They sent me the gnome and both RC’s fled,
As word of all promptions was quickly widespread.
Before the sun rose, they both yelled in the night,
“Happy Christmas to all, and Fight the Good Fight!”

Hintoflimeee!
rpf thing
now this is a story all about how
a certain army came and turned my life upside down
if you wanna stay and listen, better not disconnect
press H and i’ll tell you all about RPF
in western abominable born and raised
on an iceberg is where i spent most of my days
chillin out, drillin tryna flip while we can
or im playin aqua grabber tryna get me some stamps
when a couple of troops, that were up to no good
started askin questions in my neighborhood
and together they chant in a long incantation:
“hey, wanna join the rebel penguin federation?”
I sat on the question for a couple of minutes
but with some research i saw “these guys mean business”
I looked up the site, clicked the button to join us
im from the US and i don’t wanna be air force
Started at recruit. no pic perms? wow.
but then I went to an event and got promoted somehow
is this what the people of RPF live like?
hmmm, this might be alright
but then I hear about the enemies, all of these armies
the leaders of the egcp trying to harm me
they think they’re cool, but they dont got my rhymes
step aside, boys, its time you met the hintoflimeee.
The war broke out just as i came in
these guys are saying shady things about our queenieliz
I dont know what to say
I only joined the other day
so I worked my flipper off and tried my best anyways
I climbed up the ranks now im chillin with my pals
getting troop of the week, reclaiming capitals
ill be the greatest troop in ultipenguinj’s eyes
and if you’re lookin for my name just look up hintoflimeee.
And in third place receiving a prize of 5000 Rebel Cash is…
