The Special Weapons and Tactics of Club Penguin officially introduce the Games 2024. The Olympiad this year was a result of a previous error. Find all relevant information about the Olympics in this article.
In May 2023, SWAT attempted to host its first Olympics edition. The preparations and teams were set, and the games were almost about to begin. However, plans faltered when war struck against SWAT. Moreover, beautifully crafted medals were never given. As a result, today we are in an esteemed position to reconstruct the Olympics. This may not have been possible without the inspiration of the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympics.
Guidelines
There will be two factions or corporations—Antaeus and Frontier. These two will compete against each other in each match. The Olympics will be a score-based tournament where the two factions compete on the leaderboard. The faction with the highest score will win. The scoring system has been explained below…
Win: +150 points
Tie: +100 points
Lose: +50 points
Forfeit: -50 points
The factions will have one leader who will choose one player from their faction for each game. This means that one player from each faction will compete against each other in a match. One match is played for a single game. The time of each match is mutually agreed to. If one does not show up at the time of the match or chooses to leave, the action will be considered forfeit. This will result in the deduction of points for the team as mentioned above.
Cheating in any way is prohibited during a game. It will result in an automatic defeat in the game with a deduction of 100 points.
Visitors from CPA are allowed to visit the Olympics.
The leader of the factions will be decided through an internal vote.
About the Factions
The Antaeus Corporation and the Frontier Corporation are the two chosen factions for SWAT Olympics 2024. This has been predetermined, for SWAT is not currently in a position to have custom teams. These factions have been inspired by the game Tanki X, the historical counterpart of Tanki Online. In 2019, Tanki X was discontinued. The SWAT Olympics shall leave nostalgic hallmarks on the game. Learn more about Tanki X.
The Antaeus CorporationThe Frontier Corporation
The SWAT Corporation wishes the best to both factions. Let the Games begin!
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.
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) paved its way out of an intriguing week with fair performance.

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.
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!
