Legacy Through Guidance
Aaronstone, a long-standing member of the army community, has been a vital part of the Water Vikings and several other armies throughout their history. He first started in December 2009 under the wing of the legend, Iceyfeet1234. Later, he joined the Doritos of Club Penguin due to harassment from fellow Ice Warrior troops. He eventually became Second-in-Command and then leader in 2012 through his dedication and hard work. Unfortunately, he was forced to shut the army down due to their low maxes and inactivity, and was later banned.

Ultimately, he was able to attain 2ic with the Underground Mafias Army. He trained under leaders Coolster114 and Benjarkin, with support from Redbudd and Derek. After a successful coup, he led UMA for five months, using his skills to guide the group to remarkable success. Aaronstone enlisted in Water Vikings in 2013 and achieved leader. Furthermore, they broke into the Club Penguin Armies Central Top Ten, marking that outstanding generation as the Blue Summer of 2013. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame as one of the greatest leaders, and since then, he continued to amass many victories, such as winning the Champions Cup VI tournament. In 2021, the Legends Cup tested WV’s limits as they faced Templars, and despite reaching a max of over 50, they had unfortunately lost. Aaronstone later retired in October 2022, and the army shut down temporarily.

Timeless Wisdom
Though he had retired in 2022, he continued to advise and help WV in 2023 and November 2024 to regain their major army status while serving as a guardian on the High Council of Vikings. Aaronstone is a multi-generational leader in the army, teaching future generations to uphold WV’s traditions and standards.
Club Penguin Armies conducted an informative interview with Aaronstone to learn more about his perspectives as an advisor.
What motivates you to keep contributing as an advisor today?
The people keep me motivated. I want everyone to have as much of a good time as I did when I was younger and I try my hardest to deliver that every day
What’s the one principle you refuse to compromise as an advisor?
I refuse to compromise on settling for less, if you want to succeed you have to put the work in.
What advice do you wish someone had given you when you started?
Simply put, don’t give up. CPA a lot of the time is trial and error. What you think might work to keep people interested and motivated to go might not work so you need to change and adapt as the situation calls for it.
Which moment made you realise that being an advisor is more about influence than control?
I wouldn’t say advisor is about influence or control. To me being an advisor is more about teaching the new era of people and advising them and helping them along the way wherever you can.
