Interviews
To find out more about the Ragnarök Olympics, Club Penguin Armies interviewed Roxy and Escot, leaders of ACP and WV respectively.
What led to you deciding to co-host an Olympics?
Roxy: The idea for a co-hosted Olympics actually came from Cobra a few months ago. We immediately loved the concept, seeing it as a fantastic way to strengthen our relationship and create a fun, engaging experience for everyone. Although it took us a few months to finalize the idea, it turned out fantastic.
Escot: Both of us lately haven’t been the best, noticeably we’ve needed some activity and we’ve also wanted to get closer relations with ACP. Overall it definitely benefited both sides greatly.
What has been your favourite event so far?
Roxy: My favorite event was definitely Unscheduled Mania. It was impressive to see both sides mobilize so many people on short notice as we were only allowed to inform our troops 30 minutes before. The competition was incredibly close, with ACP winning by just a single troop.
Escot: My favorite event I’d say was the search and destroy. It was interesting to see the twist but some troops were confused lol. It was pretty fun and it’s something we definitely haven’t tried in a PB.
Have you ran into any issues with planning or coordinating events?
Roxy: Of course, there were challenges in planning an event which requires this level of communication and coordination from both sides. The main issue was finding event times that worked for both armies, as we hosted events in different times. I’m glad we found a common ground, and I’m grateful for the willingness to compromise on both sides.
Escot: I think the only issue would be the timings of some events because some of them were times that either or side doesn’t usually do or on specific days.
What are your overall thoughts on the co-hosted Olympics?
Roxy: Overall, I’ve loved the spirit of unity and friendly competition. It’s been thrilling to see the scores so close, and I’m grateful for how this has driven our armies closer together. The event themes were creative, and it was amazing to see both armies perform so well.
Escot: I believe the Olympics was a great idea we’ve done. It has benefitted both of our sides and it’s always fun to host something with an ally. Big thank you to our team and ACP for assisting with this fun Olympics. 🫡
It seems that ACP and WV had fun competing in the Ragnarök Olympics. What do you think about the Ragnarök Olympics? Should other armies host their own Olympics? What contests did you find most interesting?
