Flypin1 was searching for free coins on Club Penguin Online when he stumbled upon the Pirates website around December 2018. Although he never attended events, Flypin joined the Club Penguin Online Discord server and Club Penguin Online Army League through the Pirates.
Throughout his time, Flypin would hop around different armies, trying to see which one fit best for him. One of the first notable armies he joined was the Ninjas, where he quickly earned the rank of high commander through his hard work. Unfortunately, the Ninjas shut down just a week later.
After the Ninjas shut down, Flypin found himself interested in joining the Help Force due to its high activity and the many friends he made there. He officially joined the Help Force around April 2019. Throughout his time as a Helper, Flypin quickly became a staff member in the summer of 2019.

A year later, Flypin decided to leave Help Force completely in June 2020 and joined the Dark Warriors as a staff member. He remained a Warrior until the end of 2020 when the army shut down. Since then, Flypin stepped back from being in an individual army but still remained within the army community.
Although not being in an army, Flypin found himself interested in helping out Army Legend Superhero123 when Club Penguin Army Battleground was in beta. He joined the team as a Moderator on September 2, 2021. Over the years, Flypin’s hard work and constant activity within CPAB were acknowledged and appreciated. On March 24, he was selected as one of the first Head Moderators on CPAB, alongside Paddy and ActionSpark.
Today, Flypin continues to serve as a Head Moderator in CPAB, while also holding roles as a staff member in Club Penguin Armies as a Community Committee member and as a YouTuber. Within CPA, he consistently lends a helping hand to both these departments and was recognized as Media Member of the Month for June due to his dedication to the YouTube team.

What made you want to join the Community Committee and Youtube team?
I joined the YouTube team because I thought it was super cool and I wanted to be more active in CPA. I applied for CC because Aubz encouraged me! Both jobs are fun and I enjoy them a lot!!
Tell us about yourself outside of CPA, what are your hobbies?
Outside of CPA, I spend my time skateboarding, listening to music, and reading. I’m also in college studying microbiology, which I absolutely love! I enjoy math and science (I’m not crazy I swear) and I always want to learn more about the world
Do you have any animals? If so, what’s their name and personality?
I have a cat named Korra! She’s very feisty but shows her affection by taking a nap in your general vicinity. (I love her so much)

If you never joined CPA, what do you think you would you be doing right now?
If I never joined CPA I think I wouldn’t be as mature and communicative as I am today. Weirdly, being very interactive with a wide variety of people online has helped me grow in terms of my real life interactions as well. I don’t think I’d physically be in a different place because CPA hasn’t really impacted the direction of my life, it’s always been a part of it but not toooooo defining.
Since it’s Starwars week, tell us are you a Jedi, Sith, Rebel, or Mandalorian? Why?
I think I would be a rebel, (the quiz said Jedi…) mostly because I’m very optimistic, which includes fighting for what I think is right and the positive future that I envision.
Through his numerous contributions, Flypin has become a well-known figure within the army community. Flypin consistently demonstrates dedication and passion in every department he engages with, actively fostering a positive environment wherever he goes. CPA is grateful for Flypin, an admirable member of the staff team, always motivated and dedicated to their work. Do you think Flypin will ever join another army? Also, what do you think you would be doing right now if you had never joined Club Penguin armies?
