Today marks my one-year 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 XV
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!”

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 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 on 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 train 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!
Greetings! I am Fun X Time, formerly and popularly known as Krill 300. This post is being written to define my fourth year of awesomeness. You heard it right.
I describe the glorious years with You, Ganger90, Coolguy, Sweater, Sammie, Sophie, Lego, Mare, Aubz, Ethan, L90, William, Aisha, and I.
Ganger90, Coolguy, Sweater, Sammie, and Sophie
I joined SWAT on June 15, 2020 in the evening when Ganger90 recruited me. I was developing my Club Penguin private server (CPPS) named Club Penguin Deck, and got Ganger to bribe me for having an event on my beautiful CPPS. Coolguy was the first to welcome me when I joined! The size of our Discord server was less than 300. Sorry for intervening your conversation, Sweater! I pass my deepest gratitude to Sweater, Sammie, and Sophie, though. They were the first to welcome me. It did not seem that anyone felt I would become a leader soon, except Dwain. When I joined, I almost threatened to leave the server, wondering if it was a good army!
I am the Deleted User with the orange profile avatar.
The only picture taken of my DMs with Ganger90 when I was being recruited. I certainly did not trust him then!
Uh.
A glimpse of me advertising my CPPS, though xfastx tried to stop me!
Subsequently, Sweater sent me a friend request. Meantime, I showed my love to Carl-bot because it was one I loved in the early days. Now my favorites are Dyno and Sapphire!
Lego, Mare and Aubz
Here is what happened. I was talking in a chat once, and saw a person named Legoman getting an instant promotion to leadership. I had acquainted him for a few days and was confused how he managed to get leadership in less than a month! Following this, I eventually saw Mare to the leadership. I never realized she was ever promoted. The same case was with Aubz. I must agree, Lego, Mare, and Aubz had certainly shaped my future! I pass my gratitude to them.
I was promoted to Second-in-Command by Mare in 2021. It was a historic moment. Time flied very quickly, and by 2021 I learnt to lead events.
Ethan, L90, William, Aisha, and Coolguy
By the end of 2022, I couldn’t participate much as there weren’t much AUSIA events. However, I did get a chance and was nominated in the elections. I was Leader-in-Training by now, but was later demoted. In the first 15 days of March 2023, I failed to send a single message in SWAT. I had announced a temporary leave due to my annual examinations. Ethan, L90, and William were quite influential. Aisha, too, was one great leader.
When Coolguy retired, he said that I am the future and I will need to step up and put in more effort. This was the turning point. And, I am certainly grateful to Coolguy, as well as others for their cooperation.
Me and You
The greatest time period I have been in. The support you all have been giving is of utmost value. World War IX had hit us. SWAT failed to rejuvenate with its current leadership. In late June 2024, a went into a ridiculous argument with Sweater. Certainly, I admit I should have not deleted some custom roles! However, Legoman did not want to see me go. Fwapo enters the scene. At around 8 o’ clock in the evening, he messages me stating that I will eventually return. This will made me realize that I must.
Here I am! I am now a leader! I was promoted to Leader-in-Training again by Ganger90 at the Trick or Treat Tournament in October 2023. And, on November 15, 2023, I was promoted to leader after leading an event by Legoman. Fwapo and Bull Hour joined in the leadership an hour later, too! It was a glorious moment. It proved my work, and insisted me to continue the efforts.
These four years were certainly glorious and unforgettable. I will continue my efforts in SWAT and help it reach a height at which no one can criticize. Thank you.
“People will criticize your efforts. Climb so high that you will not see them.”
