Club Penguin Armies reached out to both T_T and JoJo Teri for an interview about their experiences and the future of CPAJ.
Do you have any favorite memories from your time as a judge?
Jojo Teri: I liked the activity and the chaos during the multiple August wars and the October Blood Bowl. It felt good that no battle was cancelled and everything was judged correctly.
T_T: one of my fondest cpaj related memories is just playing bobble league a ton in judges chat with history and jojo last year around october, it would get super competitive and id genuinely just be having a lot of fun. that whole month or two was a really fun time to be a judge in general, a lot of good battles were taking place then
What made you decide to resign from your role as Head Judge?
JoJo Teri: I got promoted in CPA to Executive Producer (and then to Chief EP) so I decided to fully focus on that. Being both a HJ and an EP/CEP would require way too much time and would be too much to handle. Also I believe there should be a balance of power. The same person shouldn’t hold too many admin positions in different organisations for much time
JoJo Teri: Make sure you remain active if you want to be a Head Judge as activity is very important in that role. Impartiality is also important so make sure to put any grudges aside. The rest get built up through experience.
As the new Head Judge, what goals or plans do you hope to achieve?
T_T: besides trying to stay active during ausia hours as the only ausia hj, i honestly don’t have any specific goals in mind. cpaj was running pretty smooth before i got hj and id like to ensure it stays that way
With JoJo Teri stepping down and T_T stepping into the role of Head Judge, the Club Penguin Army Judges enter a new chapter of direction. As the community grows, the judging team stays important for keeping things fair, organized, and fun during events and tournaments. What’s next for the Club Penguin Army Judges?
