INTRODUCTION
Like the previous ones, this issue is divided into 4 sections, with the first one being the introduction. As mentioned in the Christmas 2025 @ CPA, the posts of this column will include the “This Day in History” of the day, as well as the daily challenge to the community. There will also be a fun fact in the end of the post.
This day in history – december 21
Today’s “This Day in History” includes 2 events, both of which happened in the past 3 years, during the Club Penguin Armies era.
Circus Alliance Declares War on SWAT
On December 21, 2022, the Army of Club Penguin, the Dark Vikings, and the Templars formed an alliance named the Circus Alliance and declared war on Special Weapons and Tactics. The ACP and the SWAT had just become allies earlier that month, but relations shifted 180 degrees when SWAT made plans to war with ACP’s brother ally, the Help Force. Additionally, the SWAT was mocking the ACP ever since the latter refused their invitation to join a war against the Rebel Penguin Federation. At the same time, the Templars released a post accusing the SWAT of manipulating staff, allowing racism in their Discord server and keeping around people who had taken part in malicious activities.
At the time of the war, the Templars were the best-performing army consistently in the Top Tens, maxing over 50. SWAT was usually ranked second or third and was on the rise before the war. ACP was the second strongest army of the Clown Alliance, maxing around 20. The Dark Vikings were the only Small Medium army involved in the war, but they were also on the rise.
Ugly Retires From ACP
On December 21, 2024, Ugly officially stepped down from his ACP commander position. At his retirement event, 57 people showed up to say goodbye. Throughout his tenure, Ugly had multiple achievements, including defeating the Elite Guardians of Club Penguin in the Centenary Solstice War. It was one of the longest wars, having 104 battles and lasting for a whole month. During his leadership, ACP also won the Project Conquest: Blood Bowl and became a significant force in the community. For that, he won several awards, including the Most Achieved and Best Major Army Leader awards in the Summer Awards 2024, as well as being the Person of the Year of 2024.
Daily Challenge – December 21
