Leader Interviews: rye bread

Welcome back to Leader Interviews, a series where we take a deep dive into the leaders of SWAT and see their journey to leadership and CPA as a whole.


Today we will be interviewing rye bread, to see what their goals are, and what their leading experience is like with SWAT since they are currently holding the top 2/3 spots in the past weeks of the top tens. We will also see what motivates rye bread to work with others to be able to lead such a successful army.

Let’s get straight into the interview as that is what yall are here for, let’s not keep you waiting.

What are your previous army affiliations?

I joined armies in May 2020, joining the Dark Warriors and climbing up the ranks to a Dark Warlord [high mod] before its closing in November 2020. In summer 2021 I had joined the Special Weapons And Tactics as a 4ic but wasn’t able to do much. I rejoined armies in February 2022 by joining the Secret Service, and made my way up to a 3ic, before its closing in June. I briefly spent some time in the Templars, before joining SWAT once again in July 2022.

How did you end up in SWAT?

Both times it was influenced by my lovely friend Legoman.

How did you manage to earn leader so quickly?

At first I was meant to join SWAT as a 2ic but ended up as a Leader in Training. I took this opportunity to really learn about what it’s like to lead, and how I can be a good leader.

What are the differences in leading now vs. when you first joined leadership?

Things are a lot simpler, when I joined leadership there was a lot of tweaking to do and I believe it’s like 90% done. Decisions are made much easier, and events go much smoother. I’m starting to feel comfortable in this position now.

Who is Rye bread? Many know you as SWAT’s leader, but who are you behind this title?

Do you have any favorite memories of CPA or SWAT?

One of my favorite memories has to be the late night VCs in Dark Warriors. So many fun things happened in there with Flo Rida1216, Ninja, Kristina and Laura. But my favorite memory has to be meeting Legoman, and seeing him play Sam Carmichael in Mamma Mia. We sung Mr. Brightside and I taught him how to skate. 😀

Do you have any goals in SWAT or in CPA as a whole?

Do you have anything you’d like to say to the people/troops reading this?

You are valued. I recognize each and every one of you and salute you for your hard work.

What are your opinions on the new Taylor Swift album?

If I’m honest it’s pretty trash. All the lyrics for the songs are very obvious with the message it’s trying to say and because of that the songs are extremely shallow. The beats are too basic and the album as a whole is… so carbon copied. It hurts to listen to that catchy chorus every time I walk into a store. The music video for Anti Hero is good though, I like how it visualizes anxiety and shame.

Also, we got to talk about CCXII. What are your plans/goals with this upcoming tourney?

Having the same hype as we did with Legends Cup. Times have changed a bit but I loved the energy created in SWAT at that time. Otherwise, I hope to have fun and give off our most creative tactics yet.
