In the early evening of November 15, Bluesockwa1 publishes a post detailing doxing allegations against Blizzard Warriors leader Blizzard880. These allegations kicked off a chain of events that carried through the day. Initially, these allegations started with an edit made by Boomer20 on the Anti-Hacking Bill warning the community about Blizzard’s supposed actions. Following the publication of Blue1’s post, Boomer edited this post with evidence given by Finny90615, including the dox in question. Alongside this, Boomer corroborates these allegations, stating that he and others have personally seen Blizzard sending private information in the Army of Club Penguin chat. A later update then claims Blizzard simply ordered the doxing of people, rather than being responsible for the actions himself.

Club Penguin Army Central’s Lockdown and Follow-up Post
A few hours later, Bluesockwa2 releases a statement declaring an official state of lockdown. In this declaration, Blue2 cites the recent allegations against Blizzard and other undisclosed incidents. Then, near midnight, Boomer publishes yet another follow-up regarding the situation. The follow-up expands on the previous claim that Blizzard was not directly responsible for doxing, with Light Troops leader Bluepaint accused instead. Several individuals bolster this claim, pointing to a conversation where Blizzard asks a “BP” to dox another individual. Screenshots confirmed that “BP” was actually Bluepaint, while an anonymous individual claimed Bluepaint hated Blizzard and would not have doxed anyone for him.

Both Blizzard and Bluepaint received suspensions from Club Penguin Army Central for one week and two weeks, respectively. Additionally, more allegations cropped up, with the anonymous individual pictured above claiming multiple other leaders to be doxers. Among this list was Army Republic leader Vinny, with a screenshot of him boasting about doxing “hella people”. Alongside him, Doritos of Club Penguin leader and founder Wwebestfan received an accusation, though this post provides no evidence against him.

After five months as LiT, the People’s Imperial Confederation introduced Cabin as the 21st Commander-in-Chief. This promotion came shortly after the end of World War VIII, which PIC fought in on the side of the Project: Vengeance alliance. Preceding his promotion, Cabin received an induction into PIC’s Hall of Fame as Legend. Alongside this, he was also titled President of the Congress of Soviets.

This day marked major changes within the Special Weapons and Tactics. Firstly, long-time SWAT leader Legoman announced his retirement from leadership, citing his lack of time for the army. Alongside this announcement, Krill300, also referred to as Fun X Time, received a promotion to leader. The promotions didn’t stop here, as shortly after, two others would join Krill in leadership: FWAPO and Bull Hour. This would be Bull Hour’s second time leading the army. In the second promotion announcement, Legoman comments on the trio’s long-standing history with SWAT, highlighting the passion and loyalty demonstrated by the newly inducted leaders.

While the community might be far removed from the events of 2011, it seems November 15 remains an active time within armies. With multiple leadership inductions and constant conflict, there’s no doubt that more history will unfold on this date in the future. What do you think of these pieces of history? What event do you think has had the longest-lasting effect? Were you around for any of these moments?
