The Club Penguin Armies administration has officialized SWAT’s Monster Mash 2022, designed by Former SWAT Commander Bull Hour.
On Saturday, November 30, the Club Penguin Armies administration officialized a trophy designed by Former Commander Bull Hour after SWAT approached them. The trophy was created due to SWAT’s victory in the Monster Mash 2022 tournament. The organization did not design a trophy earlier, and the current administration has decided to allow SWAT to have an official one. The SWAT Corporation would like to thank Bull Hour for its wholesome design, and Toxic Storm for suggesting such an awesome idea! We would also like to thank CPA Chief Executive Producers Mare and Coolguy for making this possible!
SWAT’s Monster Mash 2022 trophy
“We are delighted to formally congratulate the Special Weapons and Tactics on their well deserved victory in the Monster Mash 2022! It is with great appreciation that we officially recognize this trophy as part of our league. A special thanks goes to Bull Hour for the incredible trophy design and to Toxic Storm for their creative vision in bringing this idea to life.”
— CPA Chief Executive Producer Mare
“It was a fun tournament that SWAT won, despite the chaotic circumstances at the time. For most of us, this was our first tournament win and we are happy to have a trophy that represents that victory.”
— Former SWAT Commander Toxic Storm
“Forever SWAT: A Tribute To commemorate the glorious days of SWAT, this trophy shines as a reminder of our bond, resilience, and the friendships forged in the heat of battle.”
— Former SWAT Commander Bull Hour
“The Special Weapons and Tactics of Club Penguin is very grateful to Bull Hour, Toxic Storm, and the CPA administration for bringing this trophy to light. We are glad to see that the effort put in by leaders belonging to our legacy is being respected. This may be something in the past, but we should always flash back to the good times.”
— SWAT Commander Fun X Time
SWAT was led by Toxic Storm, Rye Bread, Oli, and Coolguy during the tournament. We are glad to see that their efforts have finally shaped SWAT’s legacy. Also, we have updated the sidebar of this website to correctly reflect the trophies we have acquired during and after 2020. The trophy shall be displayed exclusively on the sidebar for a few days. Moreover, it is worth noting that this is our first tournament trophy since the army’s re-inception in early 2020.

It is time to bring GLORY to the SWATRulers. We have unleashed Operation: Phoenix to revitalize our great army. SWAT will rise and we are bringing on board a new team to accomplish our vast goals. Now begins the Return of the Fallen. Joining our leadership is KrosiveZero, most notable for his leadership of the Dark Vikings. He has had stints in Lime Green Army, the Mercenaries, and most recently Rebel Alliance Commando alongside myself. We are bringing on board many new members to stack up our High Command and Staff.
In addition to our stacked team, we will be instituting a new SWAT flag. We will fly this banner high and triumphantly as we reign conquest on our foes. I have enlisted the help of a friend of mine, and we have made the following prototype:
Take this as a call to arms to all SWAT Veterans and former members. If you are interested in joining us in making history do not hesitate to direct message me at “Stare3000” via Discord. Join us, fear us, it makes no difference. SWAT will reign supreme once again. We have reached incredible heights in past years and now we shatter the ceiling as we ascend even higher. We rise together, we fall together, SWAT Forever.
The SWAT Corporation officially introduces the Recruitment Regiment of Special Weapons and Tactics.
Previously, SWAT has seen the Recruiting Force, which has been left unaided and unattended for a very long time. We are now redesigning the Recruiting Force. The structure, the system, and the name of the project will be entirely modified. This project is now known as the Recruitment Regiment.
The Regiment comes with a lot of attention from the SWAT Corporation. As the name suggests, it aims to improve recruiting status within SWAT. Moreover, it also endeavors to train recruiting methods and provide excellent advice from those with extensive recruiting wisdom. From October to November, the First Great Recruiting Competition was held, after which the Corporation has decided to work on a recruiting group.
Structure and System
The Regiment shall be headed by the President of the Recruitment Regiment, with cooperation from the Vice President of the Recruitment Regiment.
The Members of the Regiment shall work under the coordination of the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Regiment.
Additions to the Regiment shall be controlled by the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Regiment.
An additional 100,000 SWAT Coins shall be added for those working in the Regiment and the SWAT Corporation simultaneously. This shall count towards the monthly staff salary.
To remain in the Regiment, a member shall recruit at least 1 member per week. Failure to do so will result in a warning, and further removal if continued till the next week.
The requirement is 1 member per month for a member who has an outgoing inactivity reason verified by a SWAT Commander.
The Presidency and Vice Presidency shall collaborate on a descriptive record on Google Sheets of weekly recruiting statistics.
To join the Regiment, a person shall be of the rank Master Specialist, or higher.
Members of the Regiment shall gain access to essential SWAT Bot commands.
One or more dedicated group DMs shall be created for the Members of the Regiment.
Presidency- and Vice Presidency-Elects
Second-in-Command Shazam will be serving as the 1st President of the Recruitment Regiment, and Second-in-Command WilliamW2010 will be serving as the 1st Vice President of the Recruitment Regiment. Please congratulate them as soon as you see them! They have been very helpful and are an important asset to SWAT. Their incredible recruiting abilities are admired by many.
Registration
To join the Recruitment Regiment, please use the .recruitmentRegiment command in SWAT’s Discord server. You can also use .rr. After this, the SWAT Discord Bot will guide you on registering for the Recruitment Regiment. If the bot is offline, you may try again later, or contact the Presidency, Vice Presidency, or a SWAT Commander.
Today marks my one-year anniversary as the 73rd Commander-in-Chief.
On the 29th of December, 2022 I joined the Special Weapons And Tactics. Now undoubtedly, I for sure was one of the fastest troops that reached the leadership. 6 months after I joined, on the 15th of November I was promoted to serve as a leader. However, there is no doubt that SWAT degraded over time, but the leadership managed to repower itself and spread hope across the team. After a whole revamp to both the official and staff server, and many new systems by Fun X Time known as (Young Sheldon). SWAT managed to retain almost 12-15 penguins across their events. Ultimately, the current performance is yet to for sure see some improvement.
Fun X Time has provided with his post about how we plan to undergo the Christmas Choas tourney set to last between Saturday, November 30 and Saturday, December 21, with a battle every weekend.
Clade: (How do you think SWAT can overcome current challenges?) SWAT, this army is amazing. We may not be strong in the top ten, but our friendships are made with fire and roc, and that will make us stronger. We are not only comrades; we are a family. We can overcome these challenges by all working together on issues. Mark my words, we will be the most feared army You all shall see.
William: (Do you think SWAT will see its rise?) Well, there are many ways to look at this, different ways to define “rise,” and different ways it can happen. The most normal way is that we simply get big through normal means. I definitely think that may happen; the pandemic made us big, and a new one is bound to come soon. We could also get big physically; say Discord builds a new building for their servers, and our server ends up being hosted on it. There’s also the chance of us being big publicly; I’ve already planned fucking radio ads and billboards. There’s of course also the fact that in 1.7×10106 years (if protons decay), the universe will undergo heat death, making it completely empty and therefore causing plenty of virtual particles to pop into existence. These could form in such a manner to create all of CPA with a risen SWATRuler; in fact, we could be living in a version of this right now, Boltzmann CPA, in other words.
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.
SWAT at its 56th event—Polarize—on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 05:21 PM UTC.
“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!”
— Commander Fun X Time, in an interview with the Club Penguin Armies (CPA) league
Your Section
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”
— Second-in-Command Shazam
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!
