Community Memories from 2025

With 2025 soon coming to an end, it is time to see which events remained in the community’s minds. It was for sure an eventful year, so it is interesting to see which event stood out for each person.

Introduction

This year has been a year full of events. While there may not have been many wars, there were still new armies opening, alliances formed and dissolved, tournaments and much, much drama. The full recap of the tournaments of this year can be found in 2 posts released this month. The first one was regarding the major tournaments of the year, while the second one was about the Small Medium ones.

Outside of the tournaments, there was much going on in the community this year. A recap of the winter can be found here, while there is also one for the spring and one for the summer. The Autumn one is currently being written, while December is still ongoing.

Each person in the community has a different favorite event. Some remember more intensely their wins with their armies. Others prefer thinking of their achievements in the community or within their armies. For some, their best memory comes from interacting with other people within the community.

For me, the best moments of 2025 were in July. It was probably the time when the community had the most activity. It was a month full of events, as I wrote in a post. In that month, I became the Club Penguin Armies Chief Executive Producer, marking probably my greatest achievement in my time in the community. It was an intense month as I also stepped down from Head Judge in Club Penguin Army Judges. A month of activities, with the 3rd Anniversary challenges and the CPA Olympics being hosted. The Legends Cup XV also started on that month, with us decorating the Discord server and adding the Casa Fiesta to CPA: Battleground. During that month, we also broke the record for the most posts in a month in CPA, reaching 105.

Interviews

In order to find out what the best moments of 2025 were for the community, I asked several people. If you were not asked, or replied to me after this post is out, keep in mind that the Community Committee will soon release an event where you can share your memories.

What is your favorite memory from the army community from 2025?

Kath, Water Vikings Staff: It would be the charity event that Water Vikings did to get funds for animals shelters. Another memory that is one of my favorite is when Aliens was in finals against ACP for ATWC. We won the tournament on my birthday, it was an amazing day ! A day to remember!

Aaronstone, Santa in training: My favorite memory is something that has yet to come, on December 31st we will be gathering together and we will tie Edu to a pine tree and smash metal pipes against his rib cage.

Zez,Templars Leader: When I became leader, it was a great time and I’m happy to lead the army today.

GeoIonut, Rebel Penguin Federation member: Ho Ho Ho, Santa likes your question. Well, I have many awsome memories in the Army community this year. A good example would be the fact that I became a reporter; another one is that I reached the MM X final as an HCOM with HF, or even the fact that I met new people. However, I have two moments in mind that I consider especially important to me and favorite memories. The first one is when I became second-in-command in HF. It was an extraordinary moment, a fantastic experience that I will never forget. I would like to thank the leadership at that time for trusting me and giving me the honor of becoming second-in-command. Another important moment was reaching the CC XV final with RPF. As a lover of Christmas and Santa Claus (considering that I even see myself as Santa Claus), you can imagine how much I truly desire the long-awaited Christmas trophy.

Billy Bawb, Void Troops HCOM: My favorite memory from the army community is working as a mod and being able to help out

Daniel, Army of Club Penguin Leader: This might have some recency bias but definitely the semifinals vs. RPF in Christmas Chaos. No one thought ACP would put such a show and we still managed to narrowly miss out, and seeing people’s reactions was funny LOL, other than that I think our feud with Doritos earlier into the year brought a lot of drama, which made things very interesting. I don’t want it to repeat again though.

Thunder, Shadow Legionaries Leader: i mean after all, 2025 has not been really my year from the start due to the numerous fights i got into from the start (which was my time in EGCP as a Leader/Hicom) because of how many issues i faced personally, but it slowly gotten better with my place in Shadow Legionnaires after its founding, i can say it was like a ruff sailing.
i can say, it has to be when we got 20+ in an AUSIA event, Us helping swat after our event to help with them but my personal favorite was what was happining in EGCP after i left.

Scars, Scars of CP Creator: My personal favorite memory from 2025 would probably be taking PIC to the OH finals against DW, despite eventually losing. That was a huge milestone and I’m glad we made it that far even when nobody thought we would. Aside from that, it would probably be the TCP vs VT war, but the second one. That war was super competitive on both sides, paired with all the drama that came from it, the war was super fun!

Kira, Editor in Chief: i really enjoyed summer this year! i liked all the festivities, the hype from the ending of atwc going into legends cup, seeing many armies rise this summer was also amazing because it was a complete shift from last year. the wars that occured this summer were also fun, loved seeing aliens vs vt and enjoyed being apart of a variety of wars as well i think the community this summer also grew significantly, i defintely saw a major spike in activity that i was not expecting to see, which i really enjoyed.

Apryl, Void Troops Leader: me getting void elite

Mare, CPA Advisor: My favorite moment was probably during Legends Cup with the gambling stuff! That was really fun and I saw the entire community was having a lot of fun with it too!!

Edu, CPA Chief Executive Producer: You and I making Summer plans for CPA together. My favorite month from 2025 CPA for sure

Thalia, Dark Warriors HCOM: For me? I’m not sure I could pinpoint a favorite moment, perhaps it would be when Dark Warriors won October Horrors.

Moon, Templars Advisor: Definitely the amount of brawls taking place in the main chat. Whether it be Echo vs Aurora or anyone else, it all gave me a chuckle. Even through VCs, the infamous Xing vs Echo brawl is quite funny to think about now.

Pingo, Boxmen of Boxland Creator: 2025 felt like a fever dream for sure. Going from being stuck inside mustapha’s basement to returning to the wa’ah vikings, it was a silly ride for sure. My favourite part was definetly the Boxmen of Boxland arc, it felt funny just being able to make fun of alot of S/M tropes like masspinging everyone’s dms to log on, warring armies significantly bigger then you, the events being themed on random junk that I found amusing at that time, I think Boxmen of Boxland made a good example of how a meme army should be ran, especially as the joke of Boxmen of Boxland being a thing existed in some way by me since like 2022 atp. Comics were fun too, tournaments were interesting, it felt like each one had my army leave with a major controvercy (Thank you stefan for not calling the forest this time) and uh yeah it was a cool year can’t wait to do for 2026


Interestingly, most people had a different favorite moment. There was, of course, some recency bias, as Daniel noticed correctly in his response. What is your favorite moment from 2025? Let us know by participating in the activity, which will be announced by CC in the following days. 

Jojo Teri
Chief Executive Producer
