Hello, August 2024!

Greetings, agents!

The Special Weapons and Tactics have entered a month yet to be proven with satisfaction. Following multiple changes in the army, we are thrilled to announce a few great leaps.

1. Concluding Season 8

Season 8 comes to an end. Operation: Puffle was a successful season, though no one was able to complete all the missions. The winner is Zooy, who had the most progress by the end of the month. Congratulations, Zooy! WilliamW2010 was also very close, too. We are pleased to see their consistent support in the community. Surprisingly, the month did not have a sufficient month of season drops.

2. Introducing Season 9

As the stage for August 2024 sets, the SWAT Corporation is pleased to announce the Music Jam 2024! Looking at community interest in music, we introduce you to the ninth season of SWAT. The Music Jam will be a blast, looking at what we have planned! Event names will seem familiar to music enthusiasts. If you are not a fan of music, no worries. You might discover your interest in music. We will be increasing the uptime of the SWAT Music Discord bot. Moreover, we are developing more Spotify playlists to keep you rejuvenated.

We have also improved the design of our season thumbnail. The colors used are now adaptive, and the SWAT watermark is placed differently. What remains unchanged is your consistent motivation.

3. Music Jam 2024

Following the introduction of Season 9, we are delighted to present you Music Jam 2024! Special events will be themed on the Music Jam. Additionally, we are brewing up plenty of surprises that will be delivered to you soon. More information will be added in a future post. Stay tuned!

4. SWAT Bot Events V2

In the July 2024 Monthly Newsletter, we stated that Events V2 will be released very soon. We are pleased to announce the release of SWAT Bot Events V2! The new system of event handling in SWAT Bot is much more smarter and convenient. It also produces beautiful responses and allows you to control events from only a single command.

Type the .event command on our Discord server to check it out!
An event will be hosted very soon to experiment with the new command.

5. Reintroduction of Staff Conferences

We are reintroducing monthly staff conferences. Our last successful staff meeting was in November 2023. We want to re-establish the anticipated monthly routine for the members of the SWAT Corporation. Multiple predetermined topics will be discussed at these conferences, and everyone will have a chance to voice their thoughts about them.

SWAT’s last staff meeting was hosted in November 2023.

Our next staff conference is on Sunday, August 4, 2024, before an event that has been scheduled for that day. Guests may request permission to attend!

6. Website Updates

Recently, multiple website changes took place. Outdated Discord invite links were replaced with newer and permanent ones. And, the sidebars were updated with correct and cleaner information. Moreover, website privileges have been updated. Individuals who no longer serve in the army have their roles revoked, and certain present staff members have received permission on the website.

We will soon repair broken styles on our website and improve the interface. Stay on the lookout!

7. Discord Server Updates

We have started purging a long list of outdated or old roles. This includes merit roles. The members of these roles will be saved for trusted citation in the future. Additionally, we have been cleaning up the channel list. We are also planning to merge guide channels into one forum channel. Furthermore, we have been actively removing unused channels and reordering the remaining ones. With the concept of having more relevant channels at the top, navigation within our Discord server should become much easier.

We appreciate your active participation throughout July. The month was wholesome, and we deeply emphasize your efforts. We hope to bring you the best in the coming month.

Thank you!
The SWAT Corporation

Hello, July 2024!

Rewind: SWAT’s 15th Anniversary

On June 30th, the 15th Anniversary Week kicked off. The week saw 5 events with game nights and activities. After the week ended, on Sunday, SWAT hosted its 15th Anniversary Event, finishing the occasion. SWAT acquired a max of 20 at the Anniversary Event! Learn more about what happened

The last tactic of the Anniversary Event. SWAT is in the scatter formation.

Concluding Season 7

Season 8, titled Season: Drive, went like any other season. The winner managed to complete all missions first, being time-bound. This fortunate individual was Leader-in-Training Zooy, who has claimed the Agent of the Month title for June 2024! Congratulations, Zooy! We thank everyone else who participated in the season. The story behind Season 7 will be posted soon, once we clear the backlog of past pending stories.

Introducing Season 8

Here it is—another attack. The cause is rumored to be Herbert. Puffles are lost around the island, while chaos and medical emergencies flourish. What is next?

Season 8: Operation: Puffle banner

Events V2

Events V2 will be deploying very soon to SWAT Bot! It shall ease the work of the SWAT Corporation and make event management and accessibility much more convenient. Currently, Events V1 certainly is adaptive to Club Penguin private servers, but not fully. Commands could be made more smarter and functionality could be interlinked. Some of the changes are highlighted below…

  • One command for a suite of event commands
  • Schedule, view, and manage multiple events at once
  • Faster and priority-based response time
  • Ability to cancel or end events without issues
  • Smarter, aesthetic, and easy-to-read responses
  • Easy room detection using room shorthands
  • Rewarding event attendees with a sum of coins
  • More flags for increased flexibility.

Empowering Recruiting

Members of the SWAT Corporation have been actively working towards recruiting and enlisting. These two tasks are one of the most fundamental duties, notably known for upkeeping future generations of the community. We have now adjusted monthly staff member requirements and have made several changes to our staff team.

Recruitment Profiles is another initiative we have brought forward. These are pre-made ready-to-use Discord accounts that can be used for recruitment purposes.

SWAT on Spotify

Spotify logo

By the end of June, SWAT troops noticed a special Discord channel named #swat-music-board. Although the purpose was rumored to be unknown, its actual purpose was finally discovered during the Anniversary Week on July 4th, 2024. SWAT troops also noticed SWAT’s inclination to music over the past month.

Considering the large number of Spotify users around SWAT’s community, we are now available on Spotify! We will occasionally create beautiful music playlists to keep you chill. Spotify is a freemium platform for streaming and listening to millions of music and songs.

Thank you everyone for participating over the past month! Let us look at another beautiful month ahead, while we continually strive for progress.

Thank you!
The SWAT Corporation

Happy 15th Anniversary, SWAT!

Greetings, agents!

Today marks a historic day in SWAT’s lifetime. We cherished the Grandest Event of 2024, and it was wholesome. This article covers everything about the Anniversary Week, and how it went.

The Anniversary Week kicked off with the first round of the Legends Cup XIV, where we battled against the Elite Guardians of Club Penguin. Although SWAT did not manage to win, we certainly practiced and brewed our skills. We pursued these skills against the Army of Club Penguin the next weekend, in the losers’ bracket of the double-elimination style tournament. We did not manage to win this either. However, during the week, we saw increased activity and sizes. At the very end of the week, which is today, we managed to acquire a size of 20. This is the highest reported size of the week and the event! We have not managed to acquire a size of over 16 since November 2023!

The scheduled event on Discord when it started. 34 interested members are shown.
20 SWAT troops online!

Interview with Ganger90

Greetings, agents!

To help serve the 15th Anniversary Week of SWAT to your satisfaction, today we bring to you some special content. We came in touch with the army’s creator Ganger90 to learn more about the army’s foundation and his views on it.

This is a daily drop.

What motivated you to open the Special Weapons and Tactics Army back in 2009?

“What motivated me to create this great army was the close friendship and brotherhood the original rogues of Mammoth had established before even being an organized army. I wanted to bring that same group together to challenge and beat the best of CPA, which they went onto do time and time again. My vision has always been for the army to live long beyond my leadership and be a beacon of opportunity for the rising new generations of CPA”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Do you see yourself leading the army once again in the foreseeable future?

“I do feel that I have done all that I can for SWAT as a Leader throughout time and I don’t see myself coming back to lead again however you will always wish you had done more under your leadership, that’s why I hope to influence the next generation to make the best of it while they can and give it all they got. Don’t get it twisted, I have always been and always will be there for SWAT in the future but as far as leading I don’t see myself coming back to be the leader I once was, it’s not realistic unfortunately at this point in life”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

How are you feeling during SWAT’s 15th Anniversary Week?

“For the 15th anniversary week it has me feeling very nostalgic, it’s crazy to think that all this started so long ago and yet still a community that stays true to tradition and the virtues of SWAT is still alive to this day. I am thankful and happy that the community has become a home to so many great people over the years.”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Which memories from the army were your favorite?

“For me personally, you know that my history goes wayyy back with this army. I like to reminisce back to when we became an official army and upset ACP in the Semi Finals, the many wars we went onto fight against each other. From more recent times, SWAT retaining the number 1 position with new leaders and maxing 40+ once again after a 7 year hiatus from #1. The new troops that we have introduced to the community in the discord era and gone on to run the army, become great leaders and vital parts of the army is something I always hold close to the heart as well”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

What is your message to the community?

“My message to the community would be to stay true to yourself, never stop believing in yourself and the army that you come from. Don’t run with the circus, they all get made clowns when the lights are bright enough. Have fun with CPA while you can, there will be a time when your journey will be over, but your army’s journey can go far past yours and that is the ultimate goal. Loyalty always outvalues everything and it’s what makes a real army, a real brotherhood. Anything else is artificial and will prove itself over time. You can accomplish anything in life, put your mind to it focus and work hard. SWAT Forever!”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Looking at Ganger90’s responses, it appears with clarity that he is confident of a brighter future for the army. With his powerful wisdom, we are powered with advice from one who has been in the army since the dawn of its time. Thank you, Ganger90, for responding to the interview.

Happy 15th Anniversary, SWAT!

Your SWAT Board

Greetings, agents!

Hoping that the ongoing 15th Anniversary Week is fueling your satisfaction, we are pleased to introduce you to one of the awesome creations we have worked on—your own SWAT Board!

This is a daily drop!

Messages from the Community

Your SWAT Board, or SWAT ‘Your’ Board, is a collection of positive and nostalgic messages! The following are a few messages we received from the community to put up on the board…

“Ever since I joined SWAT in 2020, I have been fundamentally satisfied by my presence in this beautiful army. I have discovered dozens to hundreds of friends over time. Additionally, my debut in leadership has helped me understand Club Penguin armies much better. I kicked off my journey from Ganger90’s direct messages, and now I am racing and jumping over the barriers in this abode. I am glad to be a participant in this vibrant community that has aged over 15 years and counting!”

Fun X Time
SWAT Commander-in-Chief

“I’m just really nostalgic for the pre-DPC-merge era, when SWAT was at its peak. But I believe that together with all our efforts combined, we may once again reach that acme of success. We as an army have our flaws, but we have so much potential. Everyday I think of the day I joined SWAT, my life would have not been the same without that day. Every memory of when fighting for SWAT was so hard, but we as an army persevered and brought ourselves back to the top. It reminds me of how much we need to improve, and how much we can improve.”

Zooy
SWAT Second-in-Command

“I joined SWAT in 2022 back when I was 12 years old then I left then I came back in 2023 with everything forgot, i even forgot how to play the game. Then also I left. And now in 2024 February 28, I joined SWAT again. In these 2 years I just learnt one thing, that SWAT staff and people are lovely and kind. If you want to calm yourself just chat with people in SWAT. They’ll help you out always.”

“The SWAT community has always been GOATED despite what other armies might say. I have been very lucky to be apart of this amazing army, and look forward to what the future may bring. #SWAT4LIFE”

“I, Alex, joined swat back in 2022 when swat used to peak at 30 people in AUSIA, however the story goes back to December 30th, the battle of Mammoth against ACP. This is when my young mind found CPA for the first time (im pretty sure im in one of the recordings!) SWAT almost feels like a 2nd family to me at this point, Especially with Ganger 90, Ryebread, Elijahs, Legoman, Zooy, Krill and many others. This is a wonderful community and I love being a part of it.

“I joined SWATRulers on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 6:07 PM (UTC) 3 years ago; my first (recorded) message was a gif of a baby duck having a tantrum with the caption “Who pinged me”, and the first actual thing I wrote was “Lets ping L90 50 times” (L90 is now known as “Wheeze”). My first event in SWAT was March Madness 2021 (a badge I still wear today), not realizing this would be how I chose between SWATRulers and HF, as it was a tournament event, meaning SWAT would get in trouble if I attended HF. I was scared into rolling with it (Krill was the culprit according to my memory), something I am glad I was. I eventually reached SIT and got invited to the original SWATRulers staff server (SWAT HCOM/Staff). A while later the first hacking occurred, my password was presumably changed and the security codes I had regenerated not long before and forgotten to make an updated copy of (Thanks Autism Spectrum Disorder) and Discord support couldn’t fix it “FoR sEcUrItY rEaSoNs”, the most insulting part was a while later a hacker had gotten into an account by requesting the very thing I was denied, I had to make a new (Now deleted) account (Named “WilliamW2010#[UNKNOWN]” if my memory is correct) , which then got hacked again, for a while I used my recruiting account (xxnoobmasterxx6759) as my main (Even through CPR shutdown) until I lost the login, finally giving me an excuse to switch to an account with my name on it (“WilliamW2010#6619” which is now “williamw2010″ due to the removal of #), the one I use today, which got hacked once but I stopped it from being lost, and today (July 4, 2024 10:0 PM (UTC)) I was promoted from VC commander to Head VC commander at the rank of Fourth in Command which is one lower than the highest rank I’ve ever reached of Third in Command (I presume it is on the deleted account given I can’t find it).”
