Freezie66 Resigns From Dark Warriors
In 2014, Freezie66 retired from the Dark Warriors just days after the army’s victory in the Top Ten Armies rankings during the original Club Penguin army era. His resignation was due to a broken computer, internal leadership instability, and personal family issues. This ended the iconic partnership between Freezie66 and Spi101, a duo crucial to the army’s success.
The timing of his retirement left many members shocked and uncertain about the Dark Warriors’ future. An interview with Rishron, the Dark Warriors’ AUSIA Leader, shared that while Freezie’s retirement saddened the army, they would continue to honor his legacy. Despite the emotional loss, Rishron expressed confidence that the army would remain resilient, determined to keep moving forward in their devotion to Freezie.

SWAT vs. templars WAR
Two years ago, Templars declared war on Special Weapons And Tactics, just two weeks after SWAT signed the “War of Conquest” treaty. The war’s terms caused significant confusion. TCP initially listed 15 core war terms, but one key clause created a significant issue: “No allies permitted.” Reports state that the original TCP’s declaration allowed allies to participate.
However, they revised it within minutes to instead prohibit allies from participating in the war. The Club Penguin Armies administration quickly intervened, inviting both SWAT and TCP leaders into a group chat. They ruled that TCP’s declaration was invalid for two reasons. They first stated that TCP had pinged Ganger90, the SWAT founder, instead of Legoman, the actual leader at the time. Secondly, they highlighted that CPA rules dictate that war terms cannot be edited after publication, meaning the original terms had to be followed.
