SWAT Leadership Election Results

After days of campaigning and voting and a day of counting and verifying each and every vote, the results of the election has been confirmed, the votes have been verified and its time for a new era of SWAT to come into fruition. Who won though? Let’s find out

Throughout the week, those elected have been campaigning for votes, writing speeches, recruiting, creating a buzz in the general chat, asking for votes etc. The speeches were different but empowering, they helped engage the swat community further while letting each person know what everyone’s goals were and what they would do. These speeches are definitely a throwback to the old times in armies, the elections, the speeches, the site votes…all of it. However, this is the new age and a new set of leaders are going to be introduced so it’s a unique election.

During the end of the voting periods there was clear winners and losers with 1 person being right at the top and everyone else being way behind. However, all counts had to be verified so couldn’t be taken at face value. Now that they have been, I can say that there was no “clear” winner, it was a very close race. I wont say there are any winners in this election, only new leaders. The places don’t matter because of how close the votes were. However, the 3 leaders joining are clear. These 3 people have been working hard to try and gain leader, some longer than others. However, that doesn’t make any of them less deserving, the army has voted for these people to be in this position and now they shall lead the army into a new age.

The first person to gain leader is Rye Bread. They joined swat in June/July of this year and have been wanting create something different, something more unique to spice things up while wanting to grow the army further not just as an army but as a community. TLDR(?) rye bread got leader and wants to bring fun and glory to SWAT.


The next person is Toxic Storm. They have had multiple stints within swat but never gave up on their goals, they wanted to reach a place within SWAT and create an army to be proud of while wanting to create stronger relations with troops and vets, rewarding both kinds of community members for their services to SWAT.


The third and final person is Pandor. They joined SWAT more recently than the above 2, however, since coming in they have proved their hunger and desire for the role. They plan to create a bigger and better recruiting division while expanding our networks and relations.

These 3 people are completely different leaders and people. They have different ideas, different ideals and different experiences. However, as leaders they will come together to work together for the same goal, to take SWAT to new heights, to make even more changes to improve SWAT further. Let’s make sure to support these people and to help them in their quest to make SWAT bigger and better than ever before!

SWAT Speeches | Smithy’s Leadership Campaign

SMITHY4LEADER

#GLORYTOSWATRULERS


Around 3 weeks ago the SWATRULERS where maxing 40 nearly 50 and reaching #2 on the leaderboard.

Now you must ask yourself, where has this gone?

After the leadership of LEGOMAN we need a strong leader to follow in his footsteps and lead us even further. I, Smithy have the capabilities to convert these dreams into reality.

Now. What will I, Smithy bring to SWAT.


FIRST. I will establish a staff reform to strengthen our team which therefore increases our activity as a whole leading to more recruits, more penguins, BIGGER MAXES, MORE VICTORIES, MORE TT POINTS AND PLACEMENT, MORE LAND, MORE TROPHIES AND MORE GLORY FOR THE SWATRULERS!

SECOND. I will create trustworthy alliances with other armies and respect them as much as ourselves to prevent another backstab which we have witnessed from WV, IW and other armies.

What have I done for SWAT already?
Recruited 500+ recruits in a week.
Brought valuable staff and hcom to SWAT.
Recruited 100+ recruits while being on holiday.
Spent time and money to aid the growth of SWAT.

SWAT FOREVER
GLORY TO THE SWATRULERS


WITH SMITHY HOLDING THE REIGNS, OUR GENERATION OF SWAT WILL RISE TO UNSEEN HEIGHT AND WE WILL CREATE OUR OWN SUCCESS TOGETHER.

SWAT Speeches | Ryebread’s Leadership Campaign

Dearest SWAT, For the longest time, the Special Weapons And Tactics have had a special place in my heart. I’ve made great friends here, new or old, and lots of memories. I love all the current staff, all our vets, and troops. I intend to bring equality and respect amongst all of you, to be proud of the army I’m a part of. SWAT has one of the deepest and richest histories, and I’m truly honored to potentially be a leader here. Before writing this I’ll warn you that this may be long. If it is, there’s a TL;DR at the end 😛

Based on the recent events involving SWAT, anyone can recognize that there are changes to be made. I won’t go into specifics but in the end, SWAT needs to be refreshed. I wish to be as honest and open as I can as a leader, listen to my troops, but more importantly listen to my staff, vets and legends. YOU are the reason we exist, you are the ones who drive me to be the person I want to be in SWAT. You are the people who make me proud to be in this army and the people that motivate me to keep coming back. I will admit, that there are times I was ignorant, or gullible, but I can’t be that anymore. I won’t be that anymore.

From this moment on there will be changes made to the server’s events, look, and moderation. I want there to be more opportunities for the people who may not have access to CPAB, hosting more personal events, non-CP related, like movies or karaoke or game nights. I want people to come to SWAT because they feel like it and want to talk to the people in it, not because they felt the need to for whatever reason. I want people to use the channels we have; post their pets, their haha funny memes, use the economy system we have, and give suggestions that they genuinely feel would help the server! I want people to learn and be confident in recruiting, mentoring, hyping, and even hosting. I don’t want anyone to be scared of bigger tasks like recruiting. I feel that everyone is capable of doing great things in SWAT.

With me as a leader, there won’t be any hesitation when it comes to moderation in our server and CP events. No one should hesitate to DM me if a fellow member is harassing them in any way, or if they see someone else breaking rules. Again, my main goal is equality, and respect for all. In our Club Penguin events, I intend to have a clear rundown on what to do, and what not to do. These events are very serious for our army, and we must stay focused and not fall behind if we want to bring glory to the SWATRulers 😉. Similar to what Toxic Storm said in his speech, I intend for us to have more rewards for troops who deserve to be rewarded for their hard work. I want there to be more opportunity for everyone, and more growth for the community as a whole. I don’t want SWAT to survive, I want SWAT to LIVE!

So, here’s the TL;DR: SWAT will thrive, but only if you’re DETERMINED. With new leadership, one can only hope for the best, and that is what I promise to do… the BEST I can possibly do! There will be more creative opportunities, there will be more fun and positivity, and there will be more equality and respect. I hope that by reading this, it fills you with DETERMINATION! YEAHHHH!! GLORY TO SWAT!! Anyways I’m out, peace dawg. #RYE4LEADER

Sincerely, rye (ouigi) :blackheart:
