On Monday, April 8th, 2024, SWAT hereby officially announces its alliance with the Dark Pirates of Club Penguin (DPCP). They are popularly abbreviated as simply DPC. With consistent flows of communication between the two armies, a critical decision was called upon.
As SWAT continues to foster its relations with armies with diverse affairs, we have faith that the continuity of support from the Dark Pirates will help us improve.
Recently, SWAT saw a new battle series—the Battles of Entitlement—which has finished one practice battle, yet. Interestingly, the battle saw SWAT as the victor, allowing SWAT to win for the first time since August 2023. SWAT’s future success will be referenced with the acknowledgment of battle summaries. We pass all judges at the Club Penguin Army Judges (CPAJ) army organization our courtesy on behalf of the alliance for helping us receive beautifully written battle summaries.
SWAT interrogated the leader of the Dark Pirates to let the community know what was happening behind the scenes.
1. Why did your army choose to ally with the SWAT?
“Fun X Time is a friend of mine and has been working really hard in SWAT. The army requested the Dark Pirates to ally Dark Pirates with SWAT, so I agreed with them.”
Ninja Leader, Allied Army Leader
2. What do you think this alliance will bring to SWAT and DPC?
“That is a secret that no one knows right now.”
Ninja Leader, Allied Army Leader
3. Do you have any messages for us? If so, what is it?
“Help the Dark Pirates in the upcoming wars and battles!”
Ninja Leader, Allied Army Leader
We would like to pass a great amplitude of gratitude to the Dark Pirates for helping us rebuild the strength of the army. With togetherness, we anticipate to rejuvenate both communities. Let us hope it holds!
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) had yet another beautiful week! Improvement has been hinted at the dawn of a new month.

Summary
1. Concluding March 2024
The month of March 2024 has gone fairly well. SWAT faced the Army of Club Penguin (ACP) at the March Madness IX tournament. We may have lost to ACP, but it did educate us for the future. We realized the essence of battle summaries, and that is what makes us unique and helps us stand out among other armies. The SWAT Corporation preserves battle summaries.
In the latter of the month, SWAT saw the Radiant Rivalry division tournament. In two of three battles, judges from Club Penguin Army Judges (CPAJ) assisted us. We surely pass CPAJ a great amplitude of gratitude from our end!
2. Concluding Season 4: The Avalanche
We have decided on the Agent of the Month for March 2024! They are the first to complete all ten missions assigned.
This fortunate individual is Zooy! They are a great, committed member of SWAT. And, we are glad to have them on our team. Who will claim this prestigious role for April 2024?
As spring has begun blooming, Season 5: Watery Island has found its place in SWAT. Please welcome spring to the stage! Summer will turn out very well, undoubtedly.
4. Work Revision
Over the last few months, SWAT has seen several events that have caused the existence of several virtues. Since November 2023, SWAT has seen a lot of change. We have introduced seasons, as we developed the SWAT Discord bot. We have developed the bot to make it very powerful and adaptive to SWAT’s environment. Whilst all of this, we have collected a lot of feedback as we have formally established the SWAT Corporation. We were able to hear everyone’s voices and took opinions over almost every major decision the Corporation has undertaken. It is worth noting that it is not all about performing in events. We were able to moralize our work and gain more professionalism, compared to the past.
5. Glimpse at the Division Tournament
The division tournament proved to be very successful. We saw judges from Club Penguin Army Judges (CPAJ) utilizing their time to two of three battles between the divisions.
Results
Battle 1: Tie
Battle 2: The Arctic Ops
Battle 3: The Arctic Ops
The winner of the tournament is the Arctic Ops! The Corporation applauds the members of the division for their incredible work at the tournament. We also thank the Strikers for partaking in this tournament. They, too, have shown quality effort, showing signs of incredible variance.
6. Art Competition
SWAT officially introduces an upcoming art competition, where artists can showcase their drawing and designing skills. Three winners will be chosen at the end. The judge of this art competition is SWAT Legend Legoman.
This idea was suggested by SWAT HCOM-in-Training Vortex Ruler. Thank you for your feedback! We encourage others, too, to share their suggestions!
We will be announcing a more informative post about this very soon.
7. Recruitment Competition
SWAT is deeply interested in bringing more power to itself. We anticipate that by June 2024, we have promises to make SWAT a successful army. We also anticipate that we will acquire Major status very soon. June 2024 is our most engaging month, where we can seek attention. This is only possible if we recruit sufficiently.
This idea was suggested by SWAT Founder and Legend Ganger90. Thank you for your feedback! We encourage others, too, to share their suggestions!
We will be announcing a more informative post about this very soon.
8. Badges Introduced
Badges have been introduced to SWAT. They hold powerful units of merit and owe you great respect. Use the badges command in our Discord server to learn more!
9. SWAT Bot Updates
Last month, we overhauled the Discord bot by performing major performance improvements. This month, several updates have been undertaken in the SWAT Discord bot. We will highlight and describe them.
Bot Logs: For security reasons, we are now logging activity performed using the bot. It should also assist us in any data validation. It will be helpful for us to resolve bugs and exploits.
Donations work as intended: All giveaways and other amusement events will yield you rewards using our prize pool. This pool includes SWAT coins that SWAT Bot possesses and other cool rewards that you should try to acquire! SWAT Bot’s account will be used to give away prizes that are SWAT Coins. To donate, send coins to SWAT Bot!
Solo Practice Rooms: Currently, this is an experimental feature limited to only the members of the SWAT Corporation. It introduces you to event leading in a highly interactive way. It should be greatly effective, since it provides useful advice, and tests your event leading skills. Sensei will be your guide. A thread will be created just for you to practice, once you are ready to start!
DM features repaired: Features including broadcasts and event reminders via Discord direct messages (DMs) have been repaired and entirely reworked. They are now protected from spam and are fully functional.
Counting is automated: The new counting amusement channel is now dependent on SWAT Bot for automation and rewards. Check out the pinned messages in the counting channel to learn more.
Help command and command list reworked: The help command is now functional once again. This time, it is more flexible. It now has a dropdown that you can interact with to filter commands!
Fix for !army SWAT deployed: If you invoke the !army SWAT command in SWAT’s Discord server, it will warn you to use it on CPABattleground instead. If you mention or ping another user with it, it will prompt the user to use the command on CPABattleground. This feature has existed for a few months now and was not working properly. It has now been fixed and reworked entirely.
Pinging CPAB fixed: The least used pingCPAB command has been repaired.
Added bot latency: Bot latency can now be checked using the uptime command.
More topics: The topic command now offers more topics to talk about.
Enhanced searching for Roblox players: The roblox command has received a significant overhaul. It now suggests character constraints when searching. It also has more precise errors. It offers a button to visit a profile and has added emojis.
10. Discord Server Tweaks
SWAT’s official Discord server has received major tweaks. It also has a new banner on top of the channel list. Channel topics have been added to every channel, as well. This is to help guide members of the community and help them understand what channel they are looking at. In addition to this, we have also created a counting channel. One, two, three, and up to infinity! Are you ready to accept the challenge, Agent? If so, let us count together in this new Counting Together program!
Channel names were reworked, and useless roles, bots, and integrations were removed.
The Counting Together program was introduced in March 2024.
11. More Graphics
SWAT Commander-in-Chief Fun X Time has surfed the Internet to search for useful software to create beautiful and eye-catching graphics. This section of the article is a dedicated space for these graphics.
They can be used in different places since they have variable theme and appearance, which is a plus!
12. Minecraft Server Release in June 2024
Earlier, we had promised to release the Minecraft server on March 25th, 2024. SWAT will be focusing on creating its own Minecraft server in June 2024. This month is tentative, and we cannot promise this date. However, we will try our best to ensure that we release it as soon as possible, at the right time. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We will continue to host Minecraft game nights on other servers, mostly personal servers. Thank you for your enthusiasm and patience!
13. Upcoming Census
On April 5th, 2024, SWAT will commence its first census to analyze data for important questionnaire.

The great community of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) presents you with the fourth 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 by Club Penguin. It is not the actual story. It may contain scenes from Club Penguin and may be rephrased or reordered.
“An avalanche has occurred near the mountains. What was the cause behind it? No information is clear. It caused a tremendous shock in all parts around the island. The Forest appears to be elevated with more snow. The Snow Forts are now left with just snow. A lot of snow has accumulated near the town. Even more fascinating, I left my coffee in the Coffee Shop!”
As the EPF agents continued watching breaking news on the television, SWAT agents felt rejuvenated looking at all the devastation. They felt that something had to be done. Effective almost immediately, SWAT agents lowered the density of snow at the Forest, built new and better forts at the Snow Forts, and most importantly, dug out the Coffee Shop to let the reporter have his moment with some coffee. On the Spy Phone, Aunt Arctic broadcasted to all agents, from both EPF and SWAT, to immediately track down the source of the avalanche. The Director also wanted to find out what caused this tragic avalanche. A SWAT agent reported that while they were digging out snow, they found a few holes around the island. Everyone was deeply concerned. No one was convinced for this fact to be true.
Curiosity aroused among the team. “We are not sure who has been drilling these tunnels underground, yet,” asserted the Director, “However, you will show your perseverance after you have brought your excellency into communication.”
To be continued with Season 5 on April 31st, 2024.
