Division Battle: The Battle Between Two Friends
Summary
Concluding December 2023
In the past month, December 2023, SWAT previewed its most prestigious performances over a long period of time. We were able to acquire event participation counts of around a dozen. which is comparatively more lucrative than what SWAT saw in November 2023. The month was feared to have been attacked by EGCP. However, EGCP paused the war. Due to inactivity in the war, the war concluded silently.
The Yearly Awards 2023, too, started off on 5th December 2023, although, it was supposed to commence on 1st December 2023. The contest had two rounds: Nominations and Selections. In the Nominations round, or Round 1, agents could bring their name forward to be able to get voted for in the Selections round. In the Selections round, . SWAT became the first army to follow the most safest practices for hosting an annual award ceremony, especially due to the new Authorization Token feature in SWAT Bot.
Around this time, Bull Hour left the Leadership of SWAT.
SWAT did not show up in the Christmas Chaos XIII: Quarterfinals, as no agent was ready to lead the event at the given time. SWAT was supposed to fight against EGCP. Shortly after, the Division Commander Elections for the month commenced on 20th December 2023, at 12 PM UTC. Although, it was supposed to start on 15th December 2023, at 12 PM UTC. The first Division Commanders were inducted when the voting process concluded on 23rd December 2023, at 5 PM UTC, exactly 76 hours after. These inductions were: SWAT Low Command Member Fire_Dragon for the Arctic Ops and SWAT Commander Fwapo for the Strikers. However, upon Fwapo‘s request, the Division Commander for the Strikers changed to Shadow.
By the end of the month, SWAT outperformed events held earlier in the same month. Around this time, in four minutes, four armies declared war on EGCP. SWAT felt delighted and relieved seeing this moment. The war stemmed due to EGCP’s engagement in inappropriate practices and activity. Later, POM, too joined the war, composing an opposition to EGCP of five armies. SWAT Commander FWAPO, too, joined the Leadership again after spending little time in another army in secret. They had taken a break from SWAT earlier this month due to educational examinations.
Overall, the month consistently saw improvement. The month of December 2023 closed along with the Year 2023 entirely.
Concluding Season 1: Operation Blackout
Season 1: Operation: Blackout was the first season held in SWAT. And, the most victorious position acquired in the season was taken by Fire_Dragon, being the first to complete all missions in Season 1! They acquired Agent of the Month on 1st January 2024, and will uphold this title till 31st January 2024.
Congratulations, Fire_Dragon! An award has been designed for the victory…
A medal issued by The SWAT Corporation on 1st January 2023. The medal has been awarded to Fire_Dragon, for acquiring the Agent of the Month: December 2023. The medal has UHD (4K, Ultra High Definition) quality, following the 16:9 Widescreen ratio.
Season 2 commenced on 1st January 2023. The season has been entitled The Luminescence. The season is possibly going to be based on theft of a lamp. The story will unravel over time.
Season 2 will be operated by the SWAT Bot. Newer missions have been added. Season commands have been improved.
Formal Establishment of The SWAT Corporation
Till now, The SWAT Corporation was mentioned several times in announcements. It may also be referred to as the ‘Corporation’. On 9th December 2023, the establishment of The SWAT Corporation began to take shape, by the creation of a Discord server.
On 11th December 2023, the Discord server was open to all staff members. The SWAT Corporation is an organization of trust, that allows agents that are at least of rank Staff in Training to enter the Corporation and partake in several administrative tasks assigned there. The Discord server was a replacement of a staff Discord server that SWAT previously had, which has remained obsolete for a prolonged period of time.
The Discord server is quite unique, however. Certain information from this staff-only Discord server can be accessed by the public. And, the Discord server can be considered as an incentive to engage agents to acquire promotions and be enlisted in the Corporation. The Discord server also provides an enormous library of guides.
Guests, Visitors, or Veterans may be allowed in the Discord server, on certain criteria. Please contact the Leadership to see if you are eligible to be able to access the Discord server. Certain access may or may not still be restricted.
The SWAT Corporation’s Library of Guides as of 1st January 2024.
A preview of The SWAT Corporation’s Events as of 17th December 2023.
SWAT Bot Updates
SWAT Bot has grown in usage exponentially in December 2023. This exponentiation hinted certain advancements that could be made in the bot.
1. Commit a Crime
Using .crime, or /crime as a slash command, will allow you to commit a virtual crime. This generates funny responses. And, it offers you a 33.333% chance of failing to commit a crime, which can cause you to lose a lot of coins.
2. Profiles
Agents have had an unsatisfactory time trying to know the amount of coins they possess by looking up for their position on the leaderboard. Using .profile, or /profile as a slash command, will allow you to view your profile in SWAT Bot. It allows you to see the number of coins and gems you possess. It also allows you to set your own description, view it, or view another agent’s description. The description enacts as a “bio”, or an “About Me”.
3. Badges
Badges are similar to medals and awards. They are recorded in SWAT Bot. Please note that this is different from Discord’s role badges, and is not to be confused with them.
Divisions Reworked
After a prolonged period of time, divisions have made a return! Two divisions can be entered, The Arctic Ops and The Strikers. SWAT uniforms have been stitched beautifully for each division.
December 2023 also saw the induction of Division Commanders, which brought divisions to action. It compounded activity in either division rapidly.
However, on 28th December 2023, SWAT Commander and SWAT Strikers’ Division Commander Fwapo decided to drop their position and choose Shadow as their replacement. Thus, Shadow acquired the position of Division Commander at the Strikers.
Inducted Division Commanders
Arctic Ops: Fire_Dragon Strikers: FWAPO
Change of Division Commanders
Strikers: FWAPO ➜ Shadow
The SWAT Corporation congratulates the selections.
Discord Server Updates
In late December 2023, SWAT’s Discord server was redesigned to adapt to the Winter season. This design has now retreated, and the normal Discord server theme continues again. The Discord server now also has several other economy-themed Discord bots to promote engagement.
The categories in the Discord server were reorganized. And, newer channels were added. Incentives for using certain channels were implemented. Some channels were replaced or merged, too. The starboard was reworked upon.
SWAT anticipates Club Penguin Journey to be used for certain events, but may not be so necessarily. We greatly anticipate an event on New Club Penguin to be hosted in the month of January 2024, however.
The News Central channel on our Discord server is no longer discontinued. The channel was archived on 20th June 2023, and was reopened on 30th December 2023. The duration of the archival was 6 months and 10 days.
SWAT is Joining Fandom
SWAT is joining Fandom! Fandom is a platform for communities to establish wikis, which anyone, including you, can edit. With several pages being prepared, we are working on templates for the wiki. We expect the base of the wiki to be ready in a few days. We are constantly exploring sources where we can find historical information. These sources include SWAT’s present and past websites.
The objective of our Fandom wiki is simple: to preserve SWAT’s history. The wiki was created on 25th December 2023 by SWAT Commander Fun X Time. SWAT Commander Fwapo and SWAT High Command Member Zooy have volunteered to assist to be a part of SWAT’s Wiki Team. They have acquired the Wiki Administrator position on the wiki.
A battle occurred between the two divisions, marking the first battle between divisions. It is believed that it may be the first time a battle has struck between two divisions in SWAT, or even the entire army community. However, this information is not confirmed. The battle was judged by SWAT Commander Fun X Time from the Arctic Ops and SWAT Commander Fwapo from the Strikers.
The Arctic Ops took the victory. The results were:
Room 1: Tie Room 2: Tie Room 3: The Arctic Ops
Throughout the battle, both the divisions were raging for victory. The Arctic Ops and the Strikers acquired their highest participation count of 5 each, during the main duration of the battle. However, the Arctic Ops acquired 6 before the battle started. The Strikers lost primarily because of the massive participation count drop in the last room, which caused their performance to be explicitly unhealthy. Overall, both the divisions competed fabulously!
A Special Note!
What were the SWAT Commanders up to? The SWAT Commanders wanted to let non-High-Command members to lead events. We wanted to train them in administrative fields. The Commanders were extremely happy to see it in action! We could see both the divisions prepare tactics to their fullest.
SWAT Website Updates
After years, outdated content from the SWAT website is being removed! The Discord invite links on the website have been updated. The Empire page has been updated with accurate information. Older event schedules are no longer focused on the homepage of the website.

The great community of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) presents you their own edition of Club Penguin stories. This post unravels the story of a tragic blackout caused by an opposition who had returned.
Please note that this is a story inspired from Club Penguin. It is not the actual story. It may contain scenes from Club Penguin, and may be rephrased or reordered.
During the cold winter night on 1st December 2023, something unusual was cooking in a corner of the island. Temperatures fell quickly during the night, and did not seem to rise by dawn. The island did not experience sunrise at dawn. Penguins who woke up early were very confused. At 6:00 AM, Aunt Arctic was on her way to the Everyday Phoning Facility (EPF), the container of the Elite Penguin Force (EPF). In one blink of an eye, Aunt Arctic was shocked after seeing a glance of disaster.
Alarmist hysteria! The building is on fire! Firefighters from all regions of Club Penguin attended their call of duty, but the building no longer holds value. All around the island, cold temperatures were experienced. Sun was considered to have disappeared. Gary was unable to comment on this unseen phenomenon. Shortly after the scenario was reported, the Director immediately ordered Agents to respond and arrive to the scene on the Spy Phone.
The agents immediately interpreted the response and reported to the scene. It had been identified that a small tower emitting rays into the atmosphere was placed near near the highest point of Club Penguin, in the mountains. It seemed to be pointing towards the direction to which the Sun should be present. Aunt Arctic commended the agents for their vigilance.
The next day, agents report that they were unable to reach the area, as they could not proceed into the gates. The agents discussed the presence of tunnels in Club Penguin. Gates were found there, too. However, that was not the only thing they could recognize! The entire island is covered by evil expanse and disease.
Medical attention was necessary. Several camps were set up in regard to this at the Docks and at the Beach. Club Penguin, a self-governed island, is now headed by a set of rules set by a tyrant. After the tyrant published newspapers on 5th December 2023, the attacker was identified. It was no other than Herbert, who is attacking Club Penguin Island once again!
Around this time, the island welcomed the Yearly Awards 2023, through newspapers printed from Aunt Arctic‘s secret printer.
The fire on the EPF building was difficult to deal with. “Low temperatures turned off some flames. But, a lot was burning in the rubble, primarily debris with low ignition temperatures,” asserted Gary on 10th December 2023. Agents were organized to assist each other in unlocking each gate and be able to reach destinations that could bring a positive change in the situation.
On 15th December 2023, agents passed the first gate. They were able to collect some pizzas and hot sauce. No relevant item was discovered. On 18th December 2023, agents passed the second gate. They were able to collect some stolen items, most of which were expensive. On 20th December 2023, agents passed the third gate. They were able to gather secret plans that Herbert was up to, and also found Gary’s blueprints. On 30th December 2023, they were able to open the final gate and entered Herbert’s Lair.
At the lair, a lot of heat was attained by the agents. A large control panel, a widescreen television, and some imprisoned puffles were found. The Club Herbert newspapers were lying around, too. The power supply of various systems possessed by Herbert in Club Herbert was difficult to take control of. The agents managed to fuse the system and track Herbert down.
Sun returned to the sky, negativity purged, and fires left the scene.Club Penguin has recovered to its original state! Herbert seems to have fled. Machinery used by Herbert was used for gaining intelligence in the field of science.
The agents were commended by the Director. The Director reveals their true identity.
“You are an agent to be commended. You are worthy of my secret. And, I am happy to assert to you that I am Aunt Arctic.” — The Director
To be continued with Season 2 on 31st January 2024.
