Today marks my first anniversary as a Commander in Special Weapons and Tactics.
I joined the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) army of Club Penguin on June 15, 2020, and I was able to climb the ranks very quickly to Leader-in-Training in less than a year. However, it was not until November 15, 2023, that I became a SWAT Commander. Last year, on November 15, Fwapo, Bull Hour, and I were promoted to SWAT leadership collectively. For those who have been in SWAT between 2020–2022, you might remember me as Krill 300, or just Krill.
In this article, I will be describing one of my greatest needs at present.
Community Engagement Is Scaling
Community engagement has become a vital topic within SWAT. Getting away from Club Penguin for some time without losing attention to SWAT is now possible. We are trying to integrate fun games during and after events, and we are working towards adding more enjoyment within our community. We will now work on a pre-proposed plan every month and decide what activities should be set aside regular events. The occasions and activities that need to be held is your call.
Voice Yourself
Right now, one of my biggest concerns is receiving little feedback. We are in great need of feedback, and we are looking for a vast space filled with awesome ideas. I am essentially a fashioner of creativity, and my creative element can only be utilized if you bring some ideas forward, too.
Christmas Chaos XIV
The Christmas Chaos (CC) is an annual tournament held in December. It is among the most intriguing tournaments of the year, with others being the Legends Cup and the March Madness tournaments. CC brings a large volume of excitement into the army community, as this year will see a lot of differentiation in participation.
I am not making predictions for who is winning the tournament trophy. However, I am strongly willing to see sizes of over 20 this December. SWAT will endeavor to defeat as many armies as possible during this highly competitive tournament.
The tournament is set to last between Saturday, November 30, and Saturday, December 21, with a battle every weekend.

“The Special Weapons and Tactics endeavor to briefly advance as much as possible in this year’s Christmas Chaos tournament. We are certain that we will acquire sizes between 20–30 this tournament. Following SWAT’s loss in the Blood Bowl tournament, we have gained strength after learning from our errors.”
“We are building a strategy while working on making a consistent recruiting base. Moreover, we have inducted multiple members from various sections of the army society, and our sizes have doubled. Additionally, it is worth noting that The First Great Recruiting Competition held between October and November has fueled us for the tournament.”
For 2024, Christmas @ SWAT will be one of the most amusing and extensive festivals!”

How would you like to see community engagement propel in SWAT?
“Keeping people entertained is always a great idea I would love to see an advancement on this as we are planning a lot of things for the future”

Suggest any one strategy that SWAT can utilize to make the most out of the upcoming Christmas Chaos XV tournament.
“SWAT can win by gaining more attendants throughout it by recruits or dm reminding, this is a bit advantage for us for we can do more formations, tactics amd blocking the other army.”
“A second advantage is people not being AFK. This makes it so we have a better win chance if everyone does it”
“Bigger bwbs and better made tactics is another strategy. We need tactics or bwbs so we can cover them or actually do something instead of standing around. This is an important strategy because we cannot win if we never cover them but instead we get covered the most.”
“A 3rd strategy is dm reminding and recruiting and getting people to join more. This links to the first strategy, like once again we can’t win if we don’t have enough attendants.”
“We must work on SWAT more, as in making posts/news and also more awareness. If people are awake at a great event time. Make sure they are logged on, and keep track on dates of events and when to log on or when to change server and room. We must be on time and first to enter.”
“We also need to think as a team and do teamwork for this can help us achieve our goals and win battles.”
If you have feedback, please do not hesitate to fill in the comment form above. We are willing to hear as much as we can. While all this, we are also aiming to improve our recruiting.
Recruitment Regiment
The Recruitment Regiment will be a redesign of our Recruiting Force, and the existing Recruiting Force will be put to an end. The new Regiment will be strongly dedicated to recruiting and will possess a team of expert recruiters. Moreover, we will also ensure that non-Regiment members do not lose their recruiting skills, by providing support to those not in the Regiment. Registrations to the Regiment will be open soon, with a minimum rank requirement. Members of the SWAT Corporation are specifically invited, but we are looking forward to training those not in the Corporation training program, too.
The Recruitment Regiment and its working will be briefly explained in a website article that will be released very soon!
In summary, my first year in SWAT was wholesome. The awesomeness of my presence will continue. On behalf of the SWAT Leadership, I would like to extend my gratitude to all SWAT agents who have cooperated with us. Thank you very much!
