A staff member of the Secret Service was found multi-logging during the invasion of Xat earlier this week. After a thorough investigation, clear evidence was found to build a case against them.

Background

On August 11, the Winged Hussars and Secret Service faced off on the battlefield, fighting for Xat. However, a user named Cryptic had different plans, using multiple accounts throughout the invasion, including during the pre-room and the main battle room.

Before the invasion, Cryptic asked SS High Command member Logical0504 if it was okay for her partner to use the account “Xertz.” This account was created by Xing, Templar Creator. It has also been involved in past multi-logging incidents involving the Templars. TCP now uses the account to help new troops sign in.

At the time, no one realized what was happening, and the battle concluded with SS successfully invading Xat, as the WH were unable to reach their maximum size.

Start of Investigation

On August 13, Xing discovered that two of his accounts, which his new troops were using, had the SS tag. This raised concerns, and he immediately reached out to a member of CPABattleground to investigate why these accounts had that tag, as they were intended exclusively for TCP members.

After looking it over, the individual contacted by Xing about this issue notified the Club Penguin Armies Admins of their concern about the situation. As a result, the Admins conducted a thorough investigation and researched the case extensively.

After a full day of investigation, it was discovered that Cryptic had a total of five accounts online during the invasion of Xat.

Following Day

On August 14, SS leader Joel immediately reached out to CPAB Admin Super and the CPA Admins regarding the news he had heard about his staff member. Joel was trying to figure out what was happening. According to Joel, he had no idea what was going on until he received a message from Xing. In these messages, Xing was asking why there were Templar alt accounts logged in for SS.

Xing reaching out to Joel

The CPA Admins immediately informed Joel about their findings regarding the five accounts linked to Cryptic, which were active for SS. Joel explained that he only learned about three of these accounts on August 14, when Xing communicated with him. Xing informed him that the accounts Xertz and ANiceAndMean belonged to TCP, while Cryptic’s account belonged to the user themselves. However, Joel was completely unaware of the other two accounts before this. Following these findings, SS decided to immediately remove Cryptic from the army.

Joel expressing his unawareness about the incident

After discussing the situation with Joel, the Admins decided to automatically invalidate the invasion of Xat and return it to WH due to CPA’s zero-tolerance policy on multi-logging. Additionally, SS will face a 5-point deduction from their maximum size for the event held on August 11. Any listed accounts found at future events or other events will result in a 1-point penalty per account.

WH-SS WAR STATUS

Ultimately, the Admins came to the conclusion that SS leaders were unaware of the situation with Cryptic. Once they were aware, they brought it to the attention of CPA. Following this conclusion, a group chat was made between the Admins, Shinzo (WH leader) and Joel. The Admins informed Shinzo about the incident and made it clear that, due to the league’s zero-tolerance policy on multi-logging, the decision was entirely up to him. Thus, a decision was made to continue the war.

Final thoughts

Club Penguin Armies has a zero-tolerance policy regarding multi-logging. We would like to remind army leaders to consistently monitor and remind their members that this is a serious issue that can result in severe consequences. As mentioned above, the war will continue to take place and hope a natural conclusion can be found.
