Concluding February 2024
February 2024 was themed on a mountainous adventure in regard to Sensei. The month belonged to Season 2: Near North. As the month commenced, the Club Penguin Armies (CPA) army league organization pointed out a multilogging event committed by SWAT Fifth-in-Command DorukHolmes as spotlight discovery.
The early period of the month was not quite eventful. However, SWAT saw practice battles against the Dark Vikings. In the midst of the month, the Division Command elections began. Around this time, several new members were enlisted, mostly members with rich experience with Club Penguin armies in the past. SWAT on Fandom gained more activity, and started out by creating templates and writing more articles.
In the latter of the month, the SWAT Corporation started working on several initiatives, including the Constituent Assembly and Staff Weekly Schedules. The winners of the Division Command elections, too, were decided, and were promoted to their acquired positions. Around this time, the Corporation started creating plans for the month of March, and worked over the Organizational Plans 2024.
Concluding Season 3: Near North
Season 3: Near North found Zooy triumphant, being the first to complete all missions! Congratulations, Zooy! Well done to other participants.
Introducing Season 4
As doors to Season 3 conclude. The community welcomes Season 4 as its theme was highly anticipating. The month’s theme is quite intriguing.
Introducing Season 4! For the month of March 2024, SWAT experiences The Avalanche as the continuation of the story. Till now, SWAT has composed a well-written and well-constructed story.
Please read the story of Season 3!
Constitutional Reforms
The Constitution of SWAT will be reformed entirely. A constituent assembly was set up in February 2024, so as to promote inclusiveness among our senior troops. Channels have been set up in the Corporation to permit discussion and debate in lieu of any article or section presented. This makes the power of the Constitution more decentralized, fair, and its content well thought.
The existing version of the constitution will still operate, until the newer one is implemented.
The SWAT Corporation Examination
The Corporation will no longer hand out promotions to members under the Staff-in-Training rank, without having the Corporation’s examination completed. The examination requires you to profile about yourself so the Corporation can identify you. And, it also asks several questions. It should ideally take around 5 minutes to complete. The examination is quite simple, and scores are assigned as soon as you complete the examination.
The SWAT Corporation Veteran Unit
The Corporation has implemented a veteran unit. This is a prestigious unit that connects with veterans of the army, and sends invitations to its veterans for massive events. The idea was thought of in lieu of SWAT’s 15th Anniversary. For this milestone, we want to include as many troops as possible, with past troops included. SWAT’s 15th Anniversary event is on Sunday, 7th July 2024. The event timings will be voted upon, and will be kept in the EU event timezone division.
Introducing SWAT Badges
Extending the hand of love of reward and gratitude, the Corporation has introduced SWAT Badges that SWAT troops may claim! Earning these badges require merit and effort. And, we have faith that every troop will get the badge they desire!
Division Tournament: Radiant Rivalry
Lately, it has been anticipated within the SWAT community that a division tournament is coming up very soon. In response to this, the Corporation has decided to set up SWAT’s first modern division tournament. This tournament has been entitled Radiant Rivalry.
Date and Time
All events will belong to the EU timezone, and will occur every Sunday for the duration of the tournament.
- 17th March 2024, 05:00 PM UTC
- 24th March 2024, 05:00 PM UTC
- 31st March 2024, 05:00 PM UTC
Please note that a major tournament, March Madness IX, will also occur this month. In lieu of this, we may change dates and times accordingly.
Major SWAT Bot Updates
During the month of February 2024, bot developer SWAT Commander-in-Chief Fun X Time reworked and repaired many features of the bot, and added new ones. In addition to this, the Corporation also hired two helpers who engage in the development and production of the bot. These two helpers are SWAT Second-in-Command Zooy and SWAT Sergeant Commando DorukHolmes. Updates introduced or to be introduced this month are highlighted below.
- Improvement of Interactions: Interactions such as clicking a button or submitting a modal form in Discord are now faster. Earlier, the bot used to find which interaction one uses from a list of interactions, and continues only after it has checked every interaction. Now, the bot stops iterating the list of interactions once it finds what it needs.
- Speedy Actions: Using a command will not slow the bot down. It executes lesser triggers. This is because we have merged several commands into one internal trigger. Commands remain visibly unaffected.
- Repaired DM Reminders: DM reminders sent from the bot have been fixed. They also have been updated to the latest event information provision standards.
- Repaired Certan Critical Event Issues: Certain issues caused by the SWAT Bot during events has been fixed. However, we may still be having certain issues. Please do not forget to contact us in regard to those!
- Added Commands: Several commands have been added to the bot, and are listed below.
