The End Of The Line

Posted on March 28, 2017 by вα∂вσуθθ923

I am so proud and at the same time heartbroken to be closing the doors of such a cherished and legendary army.

From the day we were created, we were a force to be reckoned with. Originated from a group of rouges on the server Mammoth way back in 2009, the Special Weapons And Tactics Army became one of the most feared and legendary armies in Club Penguin Army history. Out of those rouges emerged legends, along with troops who would go on to lead other legendary armies in their careers. There has never been an army with such will and such perseverance to become better and thrive in this community. Some would say they know exactly what it means to build an army from the bottom, but none know as well as the creator of SWAT, Ganger90.

Ganger started his career with SWAT, and from that day on, he never looked back. Although he is known for his work in other armies such as the Warriors and Golden Troops, he made his mark in SWAT, and he did it in a big way. He led this marvelous army to victory in wars other leaders dream of winning. Under his leadership, SWAT took down armies like ACP, IW, DCP, the Nachos, UMA, and many more. You can’t explain how much he has done over the years for this army and how much of an impact he made in this community. Ganger90 will always be remembered and will always be the air to this army’s success over the past six years.

For years we would say we had unfinished business, and I’m proud to say that our business was finished. Ganger Taco, and I made a promise back in 2012, and that was to get SWAT back to 1st on CPAC. And in 2016, we did just that. We were robbed of participating in the 2015 Christmas Chaos because of biased CPAC staff and haters around the community jealous of our success. Through all the false claims of us cheating, we stuck together, and as a family, we grew, and we stayed a world power for three months straight, won multiple wars, and unleashed hell. The 2016 generation of SWAT, and arguably its best, will never be forgotten.

After CP announced they’d be closing, myself, Ganger, and other SWAT veterans did not hesitate to hold one final generation of SWAT, and we did not disappoint. There is no doubt that SWAT dominated in the last month and finished a world power. Statistics don’t lie, SWAT came into the community fighting to become the best, and we take our leave achieving that goal.

I, myself, can’t explain how extraordinary this army has been. We have always been the underdog in this community and we have never faltered. I am so lucky to have grown here and have learned from Ganger, and I am so honored to be a part of SWAT history. He has truly made me into the leader I am today. And no matter what CPAC or anyone says, Ganger is a CP Army Legend and will never be forgotten.

Your TRUE SWAT legends.

*Ganger90 (Creator Of The SWAT Army)

Ganger90 is the creator of the SWAT Army Of Club Penguin. He’s the only leader that has stuck with SWAT through all of its hard times, dreadful wars, and unsuccessful generations. He stuck with the army when they died, and helped them to rise again many times. He’s the one who brought SWAT from a hated noob and rogue army, to one of the biggest armies ever seen in CP Army history. He is also one of the biggest reasons that SWAT was able to defeat armies like ACP, IW, and UMA many times. In 2013, he retired but then returned in 2014 to lead yet again. He and his ownership in the 2014 Legends Cup were able to hit sizes of 55+ which have not been seen since the end of 2012. In August 2015, Ganger returned yet again to lead with Bad and Taco and help SWAT to beat ACP in a classic war and be the first army in history to take their entire nation. After this, he and Badboy reopened SWAT in October 2015, and brought it to sizes of 45-50 in just three weeks, and achieved 1st on CPAC the first time since 2012. He also helped all the “noobs” that he recruited into the army become very successful people in the Club Penguin Army Warfare Community. Noted as one of the most talented recruiters in CP Warfare since 2010, Ganger was nominated for CPAC legend. He was able to get a Legend status, but was later removed after being accused of multilogging. Ganger90 will always be considered the best SWAT Leader ever.

Reece

Reece was a great leader, helping SWAT to reach great heights along Ganger90. Reece and Ganger made a great team, and worked hard together to help SWAT rise. Reece led SWAT to the Top 3 many times along with other great leaders such as xiUnknown. Another title given to Reece was SWAT’s most loyal troop. He stuck with SWAT for a long time, and in the time that he was here, he proved himself not only a great and talented leader in SWAT, but a great role model as well. Reece helped SWAT in so many ways. He is another true SWAT legend.

TacoDaily

Taco is known for his incredible recruiting skills. Taco has led many times, one of those times being in December 2013. With the help of Benjarkin, Taco led SWAT into the Top 3 for the first time in what seemed like forever. This was the only time in SWAT history that ANYONE has ever led SWAT into the Top 3 without the help of Ganger90 or any other SWAT Godfathers. In summer 2014 Taco helped lead and win a war against the Water Vikings, before being involved in the GA vs. Resistance war in January 2015, where SWAT maxed sizes of 40. He then returned to SWAT alongside Ganger and Bad in August 2015 to defeat ACP in what is said to be the best SWAT vs. ACP war in history.

Benjarkin

Benjarkin first joined SWAT in March 2012. Ben was a great recruiter and a big part of SWAT in some of its golden ages. Ben is known for helping to lead SWAT to 1st four times along side Ganger, Cul, and Crazy. He is also remembered for getting SWAT to 2nd in CPAC with Taco in December 2013 without the help of any SWAT Legends.

Badboy00923

Badboy first joined SWAT in 2012 for the rank of 5ic. Over time, Badboy learned how to be a responsible troop and a good recruiter. Badboy worked his way up to 2ic, and developed good leadership skills from Ganger90. Bad was one of the biggest reasons why the December 2013 generation was able to be as successful as it was. Badboy has led SWAT on many different occasions, three of his terms being in 2014. The first two times he led, he was quickly fired and stayed distant from SWAT for a while. After being retired from CP armies for almost three months, Bad returned to the community and joined SWAT as leader in July 2014. He was well-known for beating the Water Vikings in a long two-week war. He also contributed to SWAT maxing sizes of 55+ and almost beating the Dark Warriors in a tournament battle. After that, Bad joined DW and stayed with them for five months. After he was removed from DW a number of times, he came back to SWAT and brought them into a powerful alliance called The Resistance. SWAT entered WW7 and took on the forces of DW, IW, and WV. With the help of LT, they destroyed all three armies, and shortly after, Bad left again, and the army pulled out of the alliance. In August 2015, Bad, alongside Ganger and Taco returned to lead SWAT into one of the most classic SWAT vs. ACP wars in history. With Bad’s help, SWAT would go on to become the only army in history to take the entire D.R.A.C.P. before being forced into signing a treaty or agreeing on a ceasefire. After the war, SWAT shut down again, and Bad rejoined the Dark Warriors. But after being removed yet again, and swearing to solely focus on SWAT from that point on, he rejoined the leadership and promised the army that he would help get them to 1st on CPAC. And he did just that. Within weeks, SWAT reached sizes of 40-45 and in a month, they achieved the #1 spot for the first time since 2012.

However, when SWAT died out due to Ganger leaving, Cul brought back SWAT with Cargo and Step, getting into the medium top ten within the first few weeks. As SWAT continued to grow, they got back into CPAC, later defeating ACP in two wars. This was all possible because of Cul’s hard work and dedication to SWAT.
