Ninjas leaders Pandor, Revan and Misty have been accused of attempting to steal members of the Water Vikings and Secret Service. Club Penguin Armies investigates and speaks candidly to the individuals involved.
Despite having only just had their revival event, tensions between the Ninjas, Water Vikings and Secret Service have been bubbling over the past week, only to reach a boiling point yesterday on July 4th. With Revan and Misty being former leaders of the Vikings, and Pandor a former leader of the Secret Service, some may argue a ‘troop stealing’ conflict was almost inevitable. The Ninjas leadership claimed they did not “troop steal”; instead, members of their former armies were interested in “following them to their new armies”.
The members they are accused of attempting to troop steal include Secret Service moderator Jukie and Water Vikings moderator Dronesboi. In one instance, Secret Service member HyperFraud had retired from his position within the army “24 hours” before joining the Ninjas, which leader Kyle found suspicious.
Secret Service leader Ugly has spoken with Club Penguin Armies reporters, stating: “We’re disappointed in Pandor’s actions. He did not leave on the best of terms, but his behaviour is inexcusable. Alongside him are two people who actively engage in troop stealing behavior from not only Secret Service, but our allies as well. Pandor will leave Ninjas just as he has all his previous armies: in ruins.”
Water Vikings leader Aaronstone said he was “disheartened to see such troop stealing and how much resentment Ninjas have for WV.” He continued with: “Misty and Revan are held in high regard around here and this is very sad to see. We asked them multiple times to stop troop stealing from us and we were told once before it was stopping and within 5 minutes of that, we received another dm from someone saying they were asked to join Ninjas. Pandor and Misty are both capable recruiters so we aren’t sure why they aren’t recruiting their own troops.”
To understand the situation from their perspective, our team spoke exclusively to the Ninja leaders Revan and Pandor.
Revan: Well obviously myself Pandor and Misty held high positions in both respective armies and had been there for awhile so we were good friends with many people in each army so obviously when you leave the armies to make something new you’ll have people asking for the invite or you’ll ask those who were friendly with to at least check it out. Yes it’s a bit wrong to ask people to join but would anyone else do anything different when making a new army or even now has any army not troop stolen or any leader not asked another troop to join? Specially when the troops WV troops for example had actively expressed disinterest and discontent with WV and what it was doing and telling us they missed us. With WV I had a groupchat made to try and apologise and fix the situation and offered a situation where we could be allies (despite them already planning to to remove me from HCOV the second they heard I made a new army and tired to justify it by saying it’s a rebellion against WV?) and support each other which was ignored.
Pandor: As for Jukie he was asked to join WV so I offered him a better alternative. People like hyper literally retired on their own accord and then dmed me for a rank, apparently that’s my fault.
Revan concluded the conversation with: “Shout out to the person sending us the screenshots”. When further questioned, he revealed that someone had sent sensitive screenshots to them and they would be releasing them all in due course. As a teaser, they shared with us one screenshot that displayed leader-in-training Dino stating the Ninjas were aiming to “weaken” the Vikings.
With relations between the three armies at an all-time low, will the sensitive screenshots now in possession of the Ninjas leadership create more drama and fallout between themselves and the Water Vikings? The formation of the CPA league is currently underway as well – could the conflict be taken onto the upcoming server map in the form of war? Or is it too early to predict?
Pandor isn’t intentively trying to troop steal, but the real question is what is troop stealing? We all know it’s attracting members or staff who joined one army to join another. But Pandor did not in any way try to ultimately convince them into joining the Ninjas, rather than just saying that his army is open and is ready for you whenever you’re done with your army. Revan on the other hand knows what he’s doing to Water Vikings, though written as a joke, many are able to assume that he has bad interests in mind for the army. Both have their merits and demerits.
Troop-stealing is the act of inviting someone who is already in an army to another. It usually happens by accident: when you’re recruiting via an alternate account on a Club Penguin server, but it can also happen intentionally. Intentional troop-stealing is seen as one of the worst crimes there is in the community, and is usually only done between enemies. is the act of inviting someone who is already in an army to another.

I hate to say this, but I agree with you.
