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!

Additionally, we would like to thank the SWAT Corporation and its members for their continuous cooperation during the Anniversary Week. Without them, the week would have not been as memorable as it is otherwise.

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).”

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in the SWAT Your Board! The messages we have received are lovely and wholesome. We are delighted to see the community’s responses and are trying to keep your voice amplified, always.
