This October was quite an eventful month, with the map rules kicking into full effect, an October tournament, and the dawn of a major war. Map activity increased, and as the year begins to wind down, changes came in the community in the form of a new judging org continuing the trend of eventful months.

In the same way as the previous months, the Club Penguin Armies community came together and voted on their Top 5 Moments for October via polls in the Discord server. This time around, community members were able to select the top 15 most important events of the month, with hundreds of votes being cast for what the community thought was the most eventful.

#4 – CPA Hosts October Horrors II

Written by Reporter: Rosaferri

The second running of the October Horrors tournament was hosted this month by Club Penguin Armies and served as the Army Judging Board’s inaugural tournament. While the Small/Medium category had a traditional single-elimination bracket, the three majors that participated engaged in a single three-way standoff to take home the Major category win. While the Water Vikings and Help Force put up a strong fight, the Army of Club Penguin ultimately secured the victory in a five-room brawl. Meanwhile, the Shadow Legionnaires and the Fire Vikings would end up on top as the two armies that received a bye leading into the tournament. The Fire Vikings would take a clean 3-room sweep against the Shadow Legionnaires, taking the trophy with a dominant performance throughout the tournament. The Fire Vikings would prove to be an upset victory against the Shadow Legionnaires, who historically have performed consistently well in Small/Medium tournaments.

#3 – Edu14463 Announces Retirement from Administration

Written by Reporter: Samio

Edu14463’s resignation on October 12 marked the end of an eleven-year journey that began when he joined Water Ninjas in 2015. He later co-founded Elite Guardians of Club Penguin, turning a small army of just ten members into a major force. As EGCP’s leader, he helped the army defeat the Rebel Penguin Federation in World War VII and later led its revival in 2023. The army returned to the spotlight, reaching the Christmas Chaos XV finals and winning the inaugural Around the World Cup in 2024. Outside the battlefield, Edu built an impressive career in CPA, starting in Media before rising through the ranks to become Chief Executive Producer. Alongside Jojo Teri, he led the Golden Age, introducing major changes to CPA’s departments, policies, tournaments, and server map. Edu also spoke about how much the community had meant to him over the years. However, with his studies, teaching work, and other commitments piling up, he felt it was time to call it a day. His departure closes a remarkable chapter, not just in CPA’s administration, but across the wider army community.

On October 18, the Dark Warriors celebrated their 19th anniversary with a CPA: Battleground event. With an impressive turnout of 61 penguins, this was the perfect way to honor their momentous milestone. Initially founded in 2007, the army has maintained significant cultural influence throughout its nearly two decades of existence. Wins in tournaments such as Christmas Chaos II and IV, alongside Champions Cup III and, most recently, the Summer Blitz, have contributed to its monumental success story.

#1 – CPA Ends CPAJ Partnership, Army Judging Board Launches

Written by Senior Reporter: Pranav

On October 5, Club Penguin Armies announced the dissolution of its partnership with Club Penguin Army Judges, effective immediately. The executive statement titled The Final Verdict also revealed that CPA would be entering a new partnership with the Army Judging Board. Reasons included a lack of active judges, alleged inconsistencies in rules, and blocking proposals during CPA Summits. With this came more rules decided during the 2026 Summit, such as freeland invasions no longer requiring judges. Overall, the judging process changed immensely, with armies previously signing up for and quickly adapting to AJB.
