The army community gathered in the highly anticipated Fortune Gala, enjoying their last night in the Club Penguin Armies Casino before it closed. In this post, we will cover the results of the 2025 End-of-Summer Awards.
Designed by BEASTO
On Saturday, August 31, the Community Committee hosted the Fortune Gala with a fun award ceremony. This year, the anticipated Awards Ceremony was held in Klondike, in CPA: Battleground, with exclusively designed rooms. During the week, the community was encouraged to vote for individuals, armies, and moments in different categories, choosing who they thought should win an award. After a week of voting, the results were revealed during the Gala. Now, we at Club Penguin Armies are proud to present to you the results of the 2025 End of Summer Awards.
ARMY AWARDS
Ace of Majors – Best Major Army Leader
First Place: Bestpenguin (52 votes)
Second Place: SavageCobra (51 votes)
Third Place: Link3000 (28 votes)
Undoubtedly, Bestpenguin rose to be a prominent figure in the Major scenario of the army community. Leading the Aliens since their revival in mid-2024, the Small/Medium Legend now ventures as the main face of one of the biggest Major armies. Throughout the first half of the year, we witnessed BP ensuring Aliens are a powerhouse not only in Club Penguin Journey, but also in CPAB, as seen both in recent tournaments, such as Around the World Cup II, which they ultimately won, and Legends Cup XV, not to speak about his Top Ten domination spree. For these reasons, sweet BP was awarded the Best Major Army Leader.

Queen/King of Clubs – Best Small/Medium Army Leader
First Place: Ghostt (36 votes)
Second Place: Echo (24 votes)
Third Place: Berlim (22 votes)
Ghostt is the winner of the King of Clubs/Best Small-Medium army leader award, which comes as no surprise. He founded the Scarlet Republic in January and has led it ever since. An army that has become a constantly active member of the SM army community. Creating a new army from the scratch and managing to keep it consistent for all this time is a remarkable feat. Additionally, SR’s power was seen in the Around the World Cup 2, where they managed to reach the finals, eventually losing to the Templars, but showing great performance. More recently, they managed to claim the second place in the Summer Blitz tournament, eventually owning 7 pieces of land, knocking out the Shadow Legionaries, which shows SR’s strategic intelligence.

Card Sharp Award – Most Tactical Army
First Place: Rebel Penguin Federation (70 votes)
Second Place: Water Vikings (56 votes)
Third Place: Aliens (51 votes)
For the second year in a row, the Rebel Penguin Federation grabs the Most Tactical Army award, a testament to its legacy as the community’s powerhouse. Until now, RPF has already won three tournaments: Candy Crusher Brawl, March Madness X, and the prestigious Legends Cup XV. Their skilled leadership and troops will never hesitate to prove they are beasts on the battlefield, posing a challenge to all other armies.
– Edu14463
Royal Flush Command – Best Higher Command
First Place: Mato (51 votes)
Second Place: Kailey (34 votes)
Third Place: Moonlemur (33 votes)
Mato has been a crucial part of the Water Vikings community for a very long time now. During the Blue Summer, Mato was a critical player in managing the fun activities held at the army, as well as our retention efforts when it came to troop registration and accommodating members to attend events. Without his efforts, perhaps the Blue Summer would not have been as massive and significant as it was.
– SavageCobra
Jackpot Achievement – Most Achieved
First Place: Bestpenguin (62 votes)
Second Place: SavageCobra (49 votes)
Third Place: Link3000 (45 votes)
Bestpenguin’s achievements with the Aliens have been numerous throughout the year. Being the main leader of his army, BP has managed to win the Around the World Cup 2 tournament, beating the Army of Club Penguin in the finals. He also managed to reach the Legends Cup Grand Finals, beating the Help Force in the Semi Finals and the Void Troops in the Quarter Finals. Top Ten wise, he is also doing well by getting the first place in several Top Tens, including the Top Ten of August, achieving great sizes. When it comes to warfare, he recently managed to defeat ACP, winning all battles but one, which was tied.
– Jojo Teri
Hot Streak – Biggest Rise
First Place: Water Vikings (77 votes)
Second Place: Aliens (69 votes)
Third Place: Void Troops (33 votes)
The surprise of the Summer. Water Vikings were able to surpass the community’s expectations, managing to pull high numbers throughout the entire season. We cannot neglect their sudden boost in Legends Cup XV, maxing over 80 and marginally losing to the almighty RPF in the overtime room. The stats on Top Ten do not lie: their size averages have been at an all-time high, showcasing the vivid spirit of the army. The title of this award is truly fitting for the big blue.
– Edu14463
The Final Deal – Biggest Retirement
First Place: Aisha (52 votes)
Second Place: Claire (48 votes)
Third Place: Coolguy (34 votes)
Weeks before the tragic demise of the Doritos, Aisha stepped down from the army on May 17. During her time serving as the main leader of the Doritos of Club Penguin, Aisha helped the army through many events and tournaments, such as the intense Christmas Chaos XIV. In her retirement event, the army saw a surprising 92 troops attending, indeed marking this event as the biggest retirement of 2025 – literally. Moments after her departure, Aisha joined the Hall of Fame of DCP as one of their legends. Her legacy in the army surely speaks volumes (no pun intended).
– Edu14463
Clash of the Cards – Best Conflict
First Place: The Green War Of Justice – Army of Club Penguin vs. Aliens (75 votes)
Second Place: Boxmen of Boxland vs. Rebel Penguin Federation (46 votes)
Third Place: War on Summit’s Ashes – Army of Club Penguin vs. Doritos of Club Penguin (44 votes)
The Army of Club Penguin vs. Aliens war was one of the most interesting ones lately. The first battle, initially declared a win for the Aliens, was later reviewed and changed to a tie. Aliens managed to surprise everyone and kept winning the rest of the battles. They were the first army in Club Penguin Armies’ map to schedule an invasion on ACP-controlled Mammoth. The battle of Mammoth had to be rescheduled due to CPA: Battleground facing issues. Eventually, the Aliens captured it, ending the war.
– Jojo Teri
Trophy of the Trophies – Best Tournament
First Place: Legends Cup XV (136 votes)
Second Place: Around the World Cup II (31 votes)
Third Place: Summer Blitz (29 votes)
The most prestigious tournament of the year, Legends Cup XV, took center stage in the CPA Casino, bringing with it high-stakes battles and an atmosphere thick with anticipation. As armies took their seats at the table, only the sharpest and fiercest minds could survive the wheel being spun each round. Thirteen armies participated in the tournament, as the Water Vikings, Rebel Penguin Federation, Aliens, and Help Force progressed to the semi-finals. Ultimately, the Aliens and RPF fought in an outstanding clash in the finals, with the former bringing the victory home after years of hunger.

department AWARDS
Golden Chip Post – Post of the Summer
First Place: “Philosophy: Why Does Everyone Return To Armies?” Written by Ugly (63 votes)
Second Place: “Top Ten Yappers of All Time #2” Written by MtJordan II (55 votes)
Third Place: “Aliens Seize Control of Mammoth” Written by Riri (41 votes)
The Post of the Summer was written by our Associate Editor, Ugly, who very well conveyed in his written words the philosophy of old faces always returning to the army community. Blending thoughtful reflection with sharp perspective, it tackled a question that everyone, at some point, has asked themselves: what keeps bringing us back? The post serves as a mirror for the community, capturing the heart of why these armies matter, and reminding us all why we are still here.
– Edu14463
Golden Laughter Post – Funniest Post
First Place: “The Obesity Epidemic of Club Penguin Armies” Written by Zambi4 (47 votes)
Second Place: “Club Penguin Armies As Cat Breeds” Written by Kira (42 votes)
Third Place: “5 Things To Do After The First Day Of School In CPA” Written by Pingo (40 votes)
Zambi4 managed to write the funniest post of the year so far, according to the community. In his satire post, he researches the causes of the “obesity” epidemic that has affected Club Penguin Armies. After that, he examines three cases, Mare, Aisha and Calgo based on the CPA’s main chat. His post is one of the best posts released lately and definitely deserves a read. The writing style, combined with the images used, can make the reader laugh.
– Jojo Teri
best writer
Amidst the CPA Golden Age, one of our editors exceeded all expectations at the forefront of our success: Zenishira. His unwavering dedication and exceptional output were a driving force behind our historic push toward our legend 105 posts. Throughout the summer, he demonstrated a passion for quality that truly embodied the spirit of our Golden Age. His hard work did not go unnoticed, and it is with great pride that we highlight his crucial role in this landmark achievement for our team!
– Diwix
best graphic designer
Ever since joining the graphics department, Cassie has been a wonderful asset to the team, bringing fresh spirit and colors to the arts. She never shies away from trying new methods and always adds her personal touch when designing thumbnails. Over the course of the past months, she’s even expanded her abilities to create trophies for the new events introduced by the CPA administration. Overall, she’s an amazing team player and has contributed enormously in times of need, which makes her deserving of the award of Best Graphic Designer!
– Master DS
best MODERATOR
Zooy has been a part of the CPA mod team for 1 year and 6 months. He has always been very active and has moderated the server extremely well. Even during breaks, he regularly moderated the chat and punished rulebreakers. His friendly behavior makes people feel comfortable enough to approach him, as he is always kind and ready to help. On low days, his art cheers up everyone in the server. Due to Zooy’s dedication to protecting the CPA server and his friendly, calm, and approachable nature, he is being inducted for the Best Moderator in CPA award.
– Bestpenguin
best top ten committee
Moon has been part of the Top Ten Committee for just shy of 6 months, which is not as long given our members’ list, but you could not notice at all. Since Moon joined, she has been an extremely hard-working and dependable member of the team. Rarely is there a week when she isn’t available to help, and despite the relatively repetitive nature of the Top Ten tasks, she never completes them without issues or flaws.
– Link3000
best community committee
Kazoo is one of the few CC members who constantly goes beyond and above for the team. Always happily volunteering for lots of polls, qotds, and games when we need more. Kazoo is also an extremely nice and welcoming person. If you ever need support or need to work out an issue, they are there for you. We have loved seeing them grow from when they first joined us, and where they are now. Thank you for your hard work!
– Frickle
best youtuber
Cena is a great asset to the YouTube department, and regularly goes out of their way to record those high-quality battle videos that you frequently see on the CPA YouTube channel! With his cameraman skills, we managed to capture important moments of the Around the World Cup and Legends Cup XV tournaments. We appreciate their hard work tremendously, and we’re sure we’ll see many great things from them. Therefore, we’ve chosen Cena for the winner of the Best YouTuber Award 2025!
– Lady Eden
best judge
History joined our judging team in 2023 and has since become a highly valued member. This year, he has demonstrated exceptional dedication, like serving as a judge for Legends Cup, Around the World Cup, and most recently Summer Blitz, in addition to overseeing more than 40 battles. His contributions are greatly appreciated, and he is consistently spoken of highly by the armies he works with.
– Spotty
best cpab moderator
Being a Moderator for CPA Battleground is a big task, and it’s crucial that mods remain active, vigilant, and unbiased. However, the best mods always go above and beyond. Yet, they may not always be commended for their efforts. If we look at August alone, we see that T_T has not only been active but has also been getting accounts activated in great time. They have often been the all-seeing eye, protecting the community from anything that may be harmful, with several situations being stopped before anything else happened. We love to see moderators being proactive, being vigilant, and always trying to do their best for the community, and T_T is certainly one moderator who does this. Congratulations to them for being awarded this award.

The Wild Card – Most Controversial Moment
First Place: The Downfall of DCP (72 votes)
Second Place: ACP Declares on Aliens, Shares Troopstealing Allegations (49 votes)
Third Place: Edu14463’s Account Hacked & Venom Defaces VT (25 votes)
The dramatic downfall of DCP, a turning point that had the entire community buzzing. The mighty Doritos Gang that was once able to max as high as 80+ troops in Christmas Chaos XIV, saw a steady decline in the first months of 2025. Crisis after crisis, the Doritos lost successive tournaments and eventually fell to Small/Medium, unable to recover to their former glory. It quickly spiraled into one of the most talked-about moments of the year, sparking drama, rivalries, and no shortage of strong opinions. Ultimately, after a recent leadership exposé, the Doritos could not sustain itself anymore, ceasing operations indefinitely.
– Edu14463
Heart of Hearts – Community Sweetheart
First Place: Elsa (74 votes)
Second Place: Bestpenguin (45 votes)
Third Place: TypicalStep (24 votes)
Brightest Light on the Casino – Brightest Bulb
First Place: Aurora (56 votes)
Second Place: PingoBoiii (32 votes)
Third Place: Lady Eden (28 votes)
This selection is further explained by the other awards Aurora has won this summer at this gala. Through the chaos that she created, the number of people she rage baited, the times she had to be reverified in CPA’s verification chat and the times she complained about ACP or the army community secured her this award.
– Jojo Teri
Professional Fumbler – Most Likely to Fumble an Important Battle
First Place: Daniel (57 votes)
Second Place: Stefan (45 votes)
Third Place: Logical (43 votes)
Daniel managed to win this award based on two things. First of all, the Army of Club Penguin’s poor performance in the Legends Cup, being eliminated in the Quarter Finals against the Help Force. Secondly, the ACP – Aliens war. It was a war that ACP declared on the Aliens, spreading troopstealing allegations against them. Eventually, things didn’t end up well for ACP, which lost all battles apart from one that got tied.
– Jojo Teri
Chaos Creator – Most Likely to Cause Chaos in Main Chat
First Place: Aurora (77 votes)
Second Place: Xing (28 votes)
Third Place: Scars (25 votes)
Aurora created so much chaos in the Club Penguin Armies main chat that during the gala, she was locked out of the server as a punishment and to help her calm down. She has ragebaited people unlimited times in the main chat, started arguments with people that went on for hours. Additionally, she twisted the words of several people, making them mad and causing more arguments. Hopefully, with her return, this will stay in the past.
– Jojo Teri
Community Comedian – Most Likely to Make Everyone Laugh
First Place: No one (66 votes)
Second Place: Ugly (36 votes)
Third Place: Lydia (30 votes)
The community tends to vote for “no one” or “everyone” in these awards, as also seen from the Brightest Bulb 2024 Summer Award. Seems like the community’s humour standards are so high that they aren’t met by any of its members.
– Jojo Teri
Multilogging Expert – Most Likely to Multilog
First Place: Xing (66 votes)
Second Place: Horse_gaming (46 votes)
Third Place: Antman (36 votes)
Known for his past multilogging scandals, it seems that Xing’s fame as the Multilogging Expert will never fade away. Hopefully, the Administration will not find out more incidents of his in eventual multi checks…
– Edu14463
Serial Army Hopper – Most Likely to Army Hop
First Place: Lawless/Judy (91 votes)
Second Place: Fruit Salad (42 votes)
Third Place: Aleksandr (30 votes)
Being named “Serial Army Hopper”, even before receiving the award, Lawless was a main contestant for it. No one else manages to change armies as fast as she. At a point, early in the summer, she was a leader in four armies at the same time, which is a remarkable feat. According to her, she had been in 9 armies, now 10, throughout this year, with 8/10 being from May till now.
– Jojo Teri
Troopstealing Madness – The Army Most Likely to Troopsteal
First Place: Void Troops (51 votes)
Second Place: Templars (46 votes)
Third Place: Aliens (37 votes)
The Void Troops managed to secure the Troopstealing Madness award. Especially near and after the Doritos shutdown, several of the former DCP staff ended up being enlisted in VT. Also, members from several armies have left them and then appeared enlisted in VT a bit later. The community believed that this happened with troopstealing being involved.
– Jojo Teri
Biggest Yapper – Most Likely to Complain About Everything
First Place: Aurora (80 votes)
Second Place: Spotty (48 votes)
Third Place: Elsa (37 votes)
There is no need to say much about this decision of the community. This post alone is enough to justify the community’s decision. Aurora recently surpassed Spotty, who once had the highest level in the arcane bot. She is the only person in the top 3 who hasn’t been a CPA Administrator and if her activity keeps up like that she will soon surpass Mare too who is first currently.
– Jojo Teri
The Bluff Master – Acts innocent but is absolutely plotting
First Place: Bestpenguin (44 votes)
Second Place: Elsa & Roxy (33 votes)
Third Place: Logical (29 votes)
BestPenguin seems to be very wholesome and friendly with everyone. It is in such a volume that the community wonders if it is just an act and BP secretly has evil plans. The question arises: What are the true colors of BP?
– Jojo Teri
Royal Flush Flexer – Most shameless self-promoter
First Place: Scars (46 votes)
Second Place: Logical (39 votes)
Third Place: Edu14463 (33 votes)
The “Most Shameless Self-Promoter” Award celebrates who never misses a chance to shine a spotlight on themselves, whether the moment calls for it or not. From constantly stealing the spotlight to sliding his name into every conversation, Scars mastered the art of turning the focus back his way.
– Edu14463
The Jackpot Rage Quit – Leaves dramatically but always comes back
First Place: Aurora (89 votes)
Second Place: Kyle104 (41 votes)
Third Place: Zenishira (40 votes)
Again, there is no need to analyze this too much. It felt like the award suited Aurora the most, due to her often rage-quitting from the CPA server after losing an argument or after being warned/muted. From a quick search, she has left and rejoined the server 37 times.
– Jojo Teri
The Overbet Overreactor – Turns small things into huge events
First Place: Aurora (73 votes)
Second Place: Elsa (62 votes)
Third Place: Spotty (42 votes)
“Overreactor” seems to be an accurate word to describe the winner of the award in certain key moments. This award goes to the one who could make even the smallest twist feel like the end of the world. The constant “so you hate me” lines, the negative mood, her sudden outbursts… In a way, these might remind us that sometimes the best part of the game is not what happens, but how wildly someone responds to it.
– Edu14463
The “Oops, All Chaos” Award – Everything they touch turns into mayhem
First Place: Aurora (55 votes)
Second Place: Legoman (53 votes)
Third Place: Venom (41 votes)
The sixth award given to Aurora, a feat that had never been seen before in any Gala Awards in CPA. Aurora is the unpredictable spark that turns order into disorder and calm waters into absolute stormy seas. Even though everything they touch turns into mayhem, this is precisely the kind of chaos that makes the community chat less tedious and more fun. Well, perhaps for some, it becomes more annoying.
– Edu14463
The Golden Age of CPA has begun, and with it, many special moments and awards were given to people who made this last season a memorable one. While Summer may have ended, 2025 has not, and there are still many more memories to be made. As we enter the final stretch of the year, all eyes turn to what’s ahead. The question remains: how much will shift between now and December?
Additionally, we would like to specially thank Dino for creating these beautifully designed trophies, and MasterDS for setting the branding and thumbnail for the Fortune Gala. The End of Summer Awards would not be the same without this cherished duo. Furthermore, none of this would have been possible without the hard work of the Community Committee Heads Frickle and Zooy, the Community Committee team, especially Ayeeti, Kazoo, Kira, Lia, Spotty, and Yeeter, and Head YouTuber Lady Eden, who recorded the full 2025 Awards Ceremony. Thank you all for your hard work.
