With each passing month comes many memorable moments, but deciding which ones deserve to be considered as the “top moments” is no easy task. The Club Penguin Armies staff team hosts a monthly vote to determine the “Top Five Moments” of the month. With Around the World Cup II concluding its Group Stage at the end of the month, the rest of May saw many changes within armies, as well as a fair share of controversy. Without further ado, let us reveal the top five moments for May.
