Elmikey’s Club Penguin Army career began in May 2007 with the Rebel Penguin Federation. As RPF’s first recruit, he used relentless recruiting to help the army rival established powers like the Underground Mafias Army and Army of Club Penguin. Alongside Commando717, Elmikey co-led RPF to victory in World War III, establishing it as a dominant force in the community.

After stepping back in 2008, Elmikey returned in 2013, revitalizing RPF during what many call its “Second Golden Age.” He introduced innovative auto-typing recruitment strategies, which significantly boosted troop sizes and restored RPF’s strength. Under his leadership, RPF achieved major victories and reclaimed its position as a top army.

In 2014, Elmikey retired from RPF and joined the Dark Warriors. With his expertise, DW dominated the CPA scene and reached the top of community rankings. In 2015, Elmikey returned to RPF after its decline, leading the army to the “Victory Returns” era. During this period, RPF achieved peak sizes of 70+ troops and won back-to-back Legends Cups in 2015 and 2016.

In 2017, Club Penguin’s closure forced armies to transition to Club Penguin Private Servers. Elmikey led RPF through this critical shift, commanding the army in the Tubas War, the first major conflict of the new era. Although internal tensions led to his removal later that year, Elmikey’s contributions solidified RPF’s dominance during this transition.

Achievements

Elmikey’s career is defined by his numerous victories, innovative leadership, and lasting impact on Club Penguin Armies. In 2007, he co-led RPF to triumph in World War III, which established the army’s reputation as a dominant force. Upon his return in 2013, Elmikey sparked RPF’s resurgence during its “Second Golden Age,” leading them to victory in wars against the Nachos and Army Republic. These successes dismantled their opponents’ dominance and restored RPF’s position at the top of the community.

In 2014, Elmikey joined the Dark Warriors and helped transform them into a dominant army, earning the title of DW Legend. However, his most significant achievements came during his return to RPF in 2015. Teaming up with Silverburg, he led RPF to the “Victory Returns” era, where they won back-to-back Legends Cups in 2015 and 2016. During this period, RPF reached peak sizes of 70+ troops, setting a new standard for army participation and success. Elmikey also guided RPF to victory in the Light Troops War, which led to their opponents’ shutdown.

Elmikey’s contributions extended into the CPPS era, where he led RPF to win the Tubas War, the first major conflict of the new era. This victory showcased his adaptability and strategic expertise during a challenging transition period for armies. His efforts earned him numerous accolades, including Club Penguin Army Central Person of the Year in 2013 and induction as a CPA Major Army Legend. Elmikey’s revolutionary recruitment strategies, and ability to lead armies through multiple golden eras, cement his legacy as one of the most influential figures in Club Penguin Army history.

Club Penguin Armies reached out to Elmikey to discuss his most memorable moments.

During your extensive army career, what was your favorite moment, the moment you consider your biggest achievement?

Getting cpac legend 2013 and declaring war on nachos

You’ve been visiting armies on and off since your retirement, what do you think changed now compared to back then?

Everything changed from the rules to the way armies battle (for example we never used vc for leading events)

Do you have any regrets looking back at your career, do you wish you did certain things differently?

I regret not vetting my HCOM in RPF better in 2017 because we had spies from other armies that just wanted to take control of my army forever.
