Please advise: Due to changes made to the way Army Legends are represented by the Legends Committee- and their impending self hosted website- this page is under construction to better reflect those changes.  Further information can be found HERE.

Dating back to 2010 when Club Penguin Army Central began awarding it to early pioneers of the community, the title of Army Legend has since evolved into the highest community-wide honor receivable. Since 2020, Army Legends have been named yearly by the Legends Committee.  This is a group comprised of already existing Army Legends.  It is currently headed by DMT and Mare.

Brief history of Legends Inductions:

From 2010-2016, Army Legends were inducted by Club Penguin Army Central, Small Medium Army Central, and Small Medium Army Press.  Then, from 2017-2019, Club Penguin Rewritten Army Central, Club Penguin Army Wiki, Club Penguin Online Army League, and Club Penguin Army Media hosted inductions at various points.  In 2020, the Legends Committee as we know it today was created by Army Legends Kingfunks4, Iceyfeet1234, and Orange in conjunction with Club Penguin Army Hub.  After CPAH’s closure, the Legends Committee detached from the organization and now operates with support from Club Penguin Armies.

In September 2020, the committee hosted a revote which ended up removing several legends, some of which were originally inducted by CPAC.  The original list of CPAC Army Legends can be found on their website, or on the CPA Wiki.  Since then, the Legends Committee has stood against revoting on already-inducted Army Legends to preserve history.

Beginning in 2023, the Legends Committee hosts a yearly “Legends’ Town Hall” that meets and informally votes on changes desired to the system.  This brought about the first major change in the CPPS timeline: an Army Legend that wants to participate in the committee cannot be declined based on their activity status.  Previously, only ‘active’ Army Legends were allowed on the committee.

In 2026, the Legends Committee approved an overhaul to the presentation of the title.  In summary, this combined the titles of ‘Major Army Legends’ and ‘S/M Army Legends’ into one title known as Army Legends.  The major and S/M labels were downgraded to that of ‘classifications’, which exist as subheadings to give viewers better context as to what an Army Legend is known for and opens the door for future classification types.  It was also decided upon that Army Legends would simply be categorized under what year they were inducted to better reflect history.  In the past, some organizations and iterations of the committee assigned Army Legends to what was interpreted as their “peak” year in the community.

2026 also saw the return of multiple inductions in a year, with the Legends Committee designating Summer and Winter sessions in their operations calendar.  This necessitated a standard for the Legends Committee to be held, which led to the creation of Committee Conditions by the Committee Heads.

How the legend process works as of 2026:

1. Candidates are first gathered via an open-suggestion process from the Legends Committee.  Anybody can be suggested during this time and a scheduled discussion is held once all suggestions are gathered.  The candidates are voted upon in a non-binding poll to affirm their nomination.  The final list is put together at the discretion of the Committee Heads, based upon said poll and observations from the discussion.  This list, however, must be approved by the Legends Committee at large.
2. Once nominees are decided upon, they are categorized as either historical or contemporary nominees.
   • Historical nominees are individuals that are no longer actively serving in an army or organization.  This does not include advisory or panel positions.  These individuals can only be nominated once a year.  If they are voted ‘no’ upon in the later stage of the process two years in a row, they cannot be nominated again until 2 years have passed.
   • Contemporary nominees are individuals that are actively serving in an army or organization.  Unlike historical individuals, there are no restrictions on how many times a contemporary individual can be nominated.
3. Biographies are crafted by the Legends Committee to be utilized in later stages of the process.
4. The nominee list and their biographies are shared to the public- alongside the members of the Legends Committee. The Community Vote is opened for typically a week as well.  This allows the wider community to make their voice heard in the process.  Anyone who wishes to vote must select ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on each nominee in a Google Form.  Any nominee that receives 50.5% of the vote receives an additional ‘yes’ vote alongside the votes from the Legends Committee.  There is also an option to leave written responses to justify voting choices.  All of this information is utilized by the Legends Committee, which ensures that at least one discussion takes place after the closing of the Google Form.
5. Two official discussions are held by the Legends Committee to aid its members in discernment on the nominees.  This is an open forum for the committee to engage with before they submit their Army Legend Ballot.
6. After the second discussion, the Army Legend Ballot is shared with the Legends Committee.  Members are typically given a handful of days to submit their ballot and are encouraged to continue discussions if desired.  Nominees that receive more ‘yes’ votes than ‘no’ votes from the committee are inducted as Army Legends.
   • If a committee member does not submit their ballot, they are subsequently removed from the vote count.
7. The votes are tallied and confirmed by the Committee Heads, who share it with the wider committee.  Each inducted legend then has their classification voted upon in a 24-48 hour poll.
   • Currently, there are only two classifications for Army Legends.
     • Major Leader
     • Small/Medium Leader
8. Once these classifications are decided upon, the results are shared with the community.

2026 Legends

2026 is still in progress.

Ads354

Classification: Major Leader

Ads354 joined the community as a member of the Nachos March 17th, 2009. In under a year, Ads would rise to the position of General, tasked with leading the army still reeling from Akabob’s removal months before. Recognized by Person as the army’s main leader by late February and left to his devices with the retirements of Person (as advisor), Gamer, and Tomb. Ads and Billy Mays would lead the army to the inaugural Legends Cup victory against all odds against strong Night Warriors, Army of Club Penguin, and Ice Warriors due to his tactical maneuvering. He would also be the sole first place in a sea of ACP first places that year. Ads would later lead the army to another inaugural victory of a major tournament, Christmas Chaos, with his co-leader Chrisi Blule and Hurricanex1, and later on played a smaller role in Nachos winning the inaugural March Madness in 2013. Aside from tournaments, Ads was leader for many of the Nachos’ greatest feats including topping the 2013 Top Ten. A staple of the early 2010s Nachos, Ads has often been cited as one of the army’s most successful leaders, along with being one of its longest—accumulating more than 2 years of tenure over the years. In an era where tournaments were still in their infancy, Ads proved to be the king of the new meta through his tactical brilliance and is entrenched in the story of some of the community’s greatest tournaments.

Bam117

Classification: Major Leader

Bam117’s journey in armies began when he was recruited by Wwebestfan during the first month of Doritos’ creation. In 2011, Bam was anointed the status of co-creator and proceeded to lead in every consequent major era for the army during the pre-CPPS age. The vast catalogue of his accomplishments as Doritos’ leader includes a #1 ranking in the CPAC Top Ten Armies of 2015, the formation of New Dawn Alliance and a successful world war victory over Bloodline Alliance in 2013, and massive victories in solo battles with other legends including the likes of Puckley and Waterkid. During 2015, Bam would also join the Army of Club Penguin and quickly achieved the rank of leader. Under his two tenures leading ACP in both 2015 and 2016, the army went on to notch two war victories over the Nachos and achieved a rank of #2 in the Top Ten Armies of 2016. Lastly, Bam was granted the rank of leader in the Underground Mafias Army during the same year and assumed the role of UMA Godfather alongside Wgfv and Daniel. Under his leadership, UMA would achieve a level of dominance in the community not seen by the army since Pink Mafias by being #1 in the CPAC Top Ten for 5 weeks in a row.

Cosmo

Classification: Major Leader

Cosmo’s army journey began in 2017 when he joined the Rebel Penguin Federation. Over the course of two years he rose through the ranks and reached the top position of Rebel Commander. While he would step away at a couple points in 2019, he eventually came back and held the role for 2 years. Cosmo played a major role in rebuilding the AUSIA division, this time under his reign, helping it grow from sizes of around 14 to over 80 and eventually reach a record of more than 102. Under his leadership, he helped guide RPF through one of the most dominant periods in modern CPA history. During Cosmo’s tenure, RPF won Legends Cup X, Fright or Fight, and Christmas Chaos X, remaining undefeated in every official tournament held in 2020. The army reached 162 in the Legends Cup semifinals and 155 in the finals. RPF was also ranked the number one army of 2020 with 312 points, placed first in 24 weekly Top Tens, and held the number one position for 20 consecutive weeks. Cosmo also led RPF during the notorious World War Rewritten, a large conflict involving several opposing armies, primarily ACP and the Chaos Army. He established RPF’s alliance with the Ice Warriors, which later became part of the foundation for the Black Ice Alliance between RPF, IW, and DW. BIA became one of the strongest alliances of the era and successfully fought against the Doritos and Water Vikings. His time as Rebel Commander was defined by the rebuilding of AUSIA, an undefeated tournament record, major military victories, and RPF’s continued dominance throughout 2020.

Dino

Classification: Major Leader

Though he joined armies in 2015, Dino made his first mark in the community during 2019 with leadership roles in the Lime Green Army, Romans, and the Pizza Federation. Dino’s promotion to Water Vikings commander in September 2022 was his first significant role in a major army. Following the retirement of Aaronstone42, Dino and his co-leaders pushed for reconstruction of the army and by summer 2023, Dino would oversee the large build-up of their AUSIA and EU forces. This buildup led WV to secure a finalist position in the summer edition of AUSIA Arena, ultimately losing out to the Help Force. Dino later organized and served as a primary leader of the Blue Sunset Alliance following a plead from the Elite Guardians and the alliance would collectively declare war on the Army of Club Penguin in June. The war, which would turn into World War IX, saw the Blue Sunset Alliance go undefeated in the battles, securing 32 battle victories over ACP and their allies- the Sapphire Concordat. Following this, the army secured a semi-finals finish in Legends Cup XIII. Dino and his peers built on this by securing the win in Christmas Chaos XIII, narrowly beating the Elite Guardians in the finals and not losing a single room in the tournament, giving WV their second major historical tournament win. At the 2023 year end, WV would achieve its highest Top Ten of the Year finish at that point, placing #4 with a total of 6 #1 finishes. Dino would also be awarded with a Person of the Year Runner-up award. In early 2024, WV would secure their third major historical tournament win, winning March Madness IX in a near sweep finals against the Rebel Penguin Federation. Due to his achievements, Dino has been remembered as one of WV’s most statistically successful leaders. Outside of leading, Dino has been remembered as a historian, working for the CPA Wiki as bureaucrat since 2021. His other civic roles include graphics work and head of the Top Ten Committee for CPA.

Revan/Totidile

Classification: S/M Leader

Towards the end of 2011, Revan split off from the Ninjas and founded the Night Divers which quickly became a dominant Small Medium army. The Night Divers would soon draw the attention of the Red Alliance, an alliance consisting of 6-8 other Small Medium armies. Under Revans leadership the Night Divers emerged victorious with sizes of 20+ and took their place as a dominant force in the Summer of 2012. In October of that year, Pirates Leader Waterkid101 announced Order 67, a plan to eliminate the Small Medium community. Revan quickly gathered other Small Mediums and established the Small Medium Army Alliance and defeated the Pirates, in the battle of Hockey and ended Order 67. Following this and after a short retirement Revan revived the Club Penguin Air Force in 2013 which became its most successful generation ever, starting out as a Small Medium and then attaining Major status with sizes of 25-30, winning wars against the Golds and other armies. In June 2015 after a few stints in a few different armies, Revan was recruited into Marines by Sidie9 which they successfully built into the most successful generation in its history achieving sizes of 30+ and winning multiple wars most notably against Golds and Silver Surfers. Revan returned in 2020 and reassumed command of the Marines with another successful generation of maxing 30+. In 2021 he returned from retirement to the Water Vikings, helping the Vikings achieve Major status once more after it dropped to Small Medium due to internal disputes, hitting sizes of 25+ and winning Water Vikings first major tournament, Champions Cup VI. It was here that he was a driving force behind and a founding member of the Western Bloc alliance which would lead up to the kick off of World War VIII. Revan’s career is a testament to the value of willpower, leadership and good strategy, and through those testaments left a lasting impact on the Small Medium scene and the wider community.

Sapper

Classification: S/M Leader

Sapper created the Chaos Army in June of 2012 alongside Hyper Sonic. Under Sapper’s guidance, the army had a heavy diet of wars, winning against lesser known armies and obtaining undecided results against the Pretzels, Light Troops, and Romans. This culminated in a 10th place CPAC top ten spot in May of 2013. While other leaders bailed following these wars, Sapper remained and put together a team that would finally beat a formidable army: the Water Ninjas. They maxed 26 and defeated WN in convincing fashion. He took this momentum and capitalized on it by pushing the army to enter into Legends Cup IV via qualifiers. They shockingly defeated the reigning champion Ice Warriors in Round One, though the battle was revoked. CPAC put together a three-way round two battle between IW, Chaos, and the Dark Warriors, with Chaos again beating IW but falling just behind DW. Sapper would continue to be the one constant in a revolving command group, even surviving a coup d’état and a temporary leave in the back third of 2013. In 2014, he spearheaded war wins against the Soda Pop Army, WN [again], and SWAT while also engaging with the Redemption Force and Teutons in undecided conflicts. During this time, the army frequently placed first on both SMAC and SMAP top tens. In SMAP’s Halloween Bash, they defeated the CPAC-ranked 2nd Light Troops- who had fallen to S/M top tens at the start of the tournament- resulting in a new high ranking of 8th on CPAC for Chaos. Following this, Sapper’s activity waned, which ultimately resulted in his coup d’état at the hands of EpicOrange1 at the very end of 2014. Sapper went on to spend time as leader of the Golds during their heights in 2015 as a major army, though he quickly joined the revived Army Republic in April, leading the army from May through September, as it became the perpetual S/M top ten leader. He earned legend in AR for his efforts to keep the historic army alive.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

2025 saw a marked shift from armies focusing on wars, with many instead opting to focus on internal growth, tournaments, and top ten performance.  The Doritos continued their hot streak from the previous year before they were dealt a crushing- but not final- blow by the Army Of Club Penguin in a war that contained more harsh feelings than battles.  Despite this, the Rebel Penguin Federation continued their dominance, winning the year’s March Madness, Legends Cup, and taking control of the top ten most weeks.  Midway through the year, Club Penguin Armies saw a transition in leadership with both Mare retiring and Coolguy stepping down to lead the newly revived Dark Warriors.  In their stead came the vivacious Army Legend Edu14463 and the plucky Jojo Teri, who immediately dubbed the administration as the beginning of “CPA’s Golden Age”.  The Doritos, meanwhile continued to decline, in part to the departure of Logical and those that followed him to his new creation with Kyle104: the Void Troops.  A loss to a languishing-in-S/M Templars squad proved to be the death knell for the legendary army.  Also closing down [twice] was S/M stalwart: the People’s Imperial Confederation.  Perhaps the highlight of the year was the sudden rise of the Aliens under the command of creator and Army Legend Bestpenguin.  Indeed, the army became one of the few to loosen RPF’s grip on the pole position in the top ten, alongside the Water Vikings and ACP.  It was not all sunshine and flowers though for the Rebels, as controversy relating to staff misconduct befell them in Autumn.  The White Order- headed by Void Troops’ leader Ugly- was quickly compiled by mostly S/M armies in an attempt to eradicate RPF from the map in response and were dealt with just as fast.  

Classification: Small/Medium Leader

Coolguy began his army journey in 2011 and officially joined the community in 2012 with the United Countries of CP. Over the years, he rose into leadership across multiple armies, including Bacon Defenders, Coup Crusaders, and SWAT. During his three-year tenure in SWAT, he helped grow the army to major status, led consistent 40+ maxes, and won the Monster Mash tournament in 2022. He later joined the Army of Club Penguin, where he achieved major competitive success, winning Legends Cup XIII, Trick or Treat Trials, and New Year’s Bonanza. His leadership earned him ACP’s Bronze Medal in 2023, followed by the Silver Medal, cementing his reputation as a highly accomplished army leader. Coolguy later retired from ACP and became an admin of Club Penguin Armies in April 2024 alongside Disha and Mchappy. With prior league experience as a writer for Small Medium Army Central, Club Penguin Central, and Club Penguin Army Headquarters, he quickly became an influential figure in the league scene. As a CPA admin, he helped oversee several successful tournaments, including Legends Cup, Blood Bowl, Christmas Chaos, Candy Crusher, March Madness, and the Around the World Cup. After retiring from CPA as a Chief Executive Producer, Coolguy returned to his passion for leading armies, joining Dark Warriors following its reopening. He played a key role in rebuilding the army and guiding it to new heights, achieving 40+ maxes and winning first place in both Summer Blitz and October Horrors. Coolguy’s dedication, leadership, and consistency across multiple eras have made him a respected and accomplished figure within the Club Penguin Armies community.

Classification: Small/Medium Leader

Logical began his army career in 2022 when he joined the Secret Service. After nearly gaining a staff ranking, the army shut down, and Logical would eventually join the ranks of SWAT. After just a few months, Logical achieved the rank of leader. Under his leadership, SWAT achieved a top-two ranking on the Top Ten and also showed strong performance in a multi-army war, which included Templars, ACP, and Help Force. After resigning from SWAT in 2023, Logical became a founder of Penguins of Madagascar (POM). The group quickly gained prominence under his solo leadership and eventually entered war with SWAT, where they achieved a stalemate against the more established army. After a year, the army shut down, and Logical found himself back in the newly revived Secret Service. He quickly ascended to the leader rank and achieved strong sizes of 60+. The Secret Service went on to defeat the Templars in a one-sided war while also managing to win their first-ever trophy in the Tropical Rumble tournament. Following the Secret Service merging into the Doritos, Logical retained his rank as leader and went on to lead the Doritos to sizes of 100+ at their anniversary. The Doritos achieved multiple #1 rankings under his leadership and had a great performance in the Christmas Chaos 2024 tournament, which saw them become finalists. After leaving the Doritos, Logical went on to create the Void Troops army alongside Justin. VT made an immediate impact on the community at large, achieving victories in wars against the likes of Doritos, Templars, and Dark Warriors within just a few months of its creation. Logical’s career is not only defined by his ability to create strong armies but also by his capability to display great leadership in both the major and S/M army communities.

2024 proved to be one of the most turbulent and eventful years in modern CPA history, defined by constant warfare, sweeping structural changes, and repeated cycles of collapse and rebirth. The year opened amidst the Christmas Crusade, a sprawling coalition war that ended in an uneasy truce, but effectively announced Elite Guardians as a dominant force early on. What followed was a relentless sequence of conflicts, including decisive wars involving the Water Vikings, Army of Club Penguin, and Templars, alongside major tournaments such as March Madness IX, claimed by the Water Vikings, Legends Cup XIV, snagged by the Help Force, and Christmas Chaos XIV, the latter ultimately claimed by the Rebel Penguin Federation. The year also saw the introduction of Around The World Cup, won by the Elite Guardians. This way, the early stages of 2024 revealed a constant power switch between ACP, EGCP, and WV. Throughout the year, leadership turnover became a defining theme as veteran figures retired, armies rose to Major status only to fall months later, and once-defunct names returned while others vanished. Alliances fractured, scandals ended long-standing alliances, and internal power struggles brought both meteoric growth and abrupt shutdowns, most notably with Secret Service and its rapid successor, Doritos, who were the main faces of late 2024, with their rapid growth and huge controversies. What looked like an indomitable force was stopped by the RPF on the CCXIV finals, with both armies maxing over 90. Ultimately, the Rebels, under the leadership of Link3000, won the tournament and ended the year as the top 1 army. Beyond the battlefield, CPA itself underwent a significant transformation with the end of Mchappy’s era and the inauguration of Coolguy and Mare’s Administration. This renewed administrative direction ensured that CPA ended the year battered, reshaped, but very much alive.

Classification: Major Leader

Link3000 joined the Rebel Penguin Federation in June 2020 during the surge brought on by the COVID lockdowns. Rapidly rising through the ranks, Link became part of RPF’s staff team by late 2020 and continued their ascent to HCOM, before joining the army’s leadership in May 2022. One of their early major victories as a leader came during the Summer Sovereignty War with Templars. Under their leadership, RPF also clinched the title in the fiercely contested Christmas Chaos XIII. The momentum carried into 2023 as RPF secured another victory in the March Madness tournament. Throughout their tenure, RPF has remained a significant force within the army community, notably playing a pivotal role during World War IX. Link’s leadership has been crucial in maintaining RPF’s Major status in the Top Ten Armies, which has never wavered despite the challenging times that saw other armies falter. In 2024, Link further demonstrated their leadership prowess while co-leading RPF alongside Gabgeirl, marking a new era for the army. Despite the dramatic nature of the conflict, Link led RPF through an unbeaten streak in a lengthy war against Secret Service, being honoured as an “RPF Icon” in the RPF Hall of Fame for their efforts. Under Link’s stewardship, RPF has seen consistent growth and an increase in size throughout the year, raising a new generation of staff and boosting the server membership to 15,000—the strongest growth seen in years. RPF’s successful year culminated in a 3-0 victory and a max of 86 against DCP in the Christmas Chaos tournament final. Link’s multifaceted leadership and involvement in the broader army community, particularly through their work with the Top Ten Committee in various CPA organisations over the years, highlight their versatile and diplomatic nature, fostering strong bonds both within RPF and the wider community.

Classification: Small/Medium Leader

Shinzo first made his entry into the community through his participation in the Red Dawn Alliance and later leading the Templars in 2018. Soon after in January 2019, Shinzo would go onto become of the founders of the Winged Hussars, a prominent S/M army at the time. There, he would become one of their first main leaders and a key figure in the powerful New Viking Alliance. However, it would not be until 2023 where Shinzo would return to the community and make his mark. Reviving the Winged Hussars alongside Lady Eden and WH veterans after a four year hiatus, Shinzo would become the main figure of the army. Shinzo became the primary author behind their unique democratic government system, allowed the Winged Hussars to stand out as an example of Club Penguin Army governments. After gaining intensive battle experience through aiding the Elite Guardians’ defense in the Christmas Crusade, the Winged Hussars became known for their ability to display tactical efficiency even when outnumbered. Shinzo alongside his co-leaders would help lead the army to become a prominent medium army, competing heavily with the People’s Imperial Confederation. The Winged Hussars became finalists in Around the World Cup’s S/M bracket, as well as the Beach Brawl. However, the Winged Hussars would later become the dominant S/M army of the later portion of 2024, after securing victories in the S/M portions of CPAL’s Tropical Rumble and CPA’s Project Conquest: Blood Bowl. Shinzo’s hard work in the Winged Hussars helped allow for a bombastic S/M army competition throughout the year of 2024.

 

2023 brought headline after headline to a community that desperately needed some action.  Perhaps it all kicked off with the retirement of Army Legend Xing, insinuating the end of Templar dominance and leaving the top of rankings and tournaments up for grabs.  The closeness in sizes and Top Ten finishes between many armies caused tempers to flare, which lead to World War IX; one of the most divisive wars in army history.  The battles were a slog-fest, and the final treaty between the Sapphire Concordat and the Blue Sunset Alliance essentially made the result a wash.  Of course, the result cannot be mentioned without acknowledging the Rebel Penguin Federation’s accidental treaty breakage, which saw them lose all of their land as a consequence.  The year ultimately belonged to both the Army of Club Penguin- headed by the revered Calgocubs- and the “new” kids on the block: the revived Elite Guardians.  While ACP’s highlight of the year was winning Legends Cup XIII, they defeated EGCP in a war shortly after, asserting themselves as the biggest army of the year.  Despite this, EGCP sustained a stranglehold on the Top Ten, ending the year with the most first place finishes.  But it was the Water Vikings who rode off into the sunset in the annual Christmas Chaos tournament, beating both ACP and EGCP en route to their first major tournament title.  While the armies were busy dogfighting, a power struggle befell the Club Penguin Armies organization early in the year, culminating in the coup d’état of Spotty and Rowan at the hands of Wynn.  She would go on to lead CPA until October, when she retired and promoted her replacements: Mchappy, the enduring legend, and Disha, the young prodigy.

Classification: Major Leader

Former 2009 ACP veteran Calgocubs would rejoin ACP in 2021, officially joining the staff ranks in July of 2022. In just two months, Calgocubs would find himself at the helm of the army. Amid trying times for the ACP, Calgocubs essentially revived the army, bringing ACP out of S/M and reestablishing its status as a major contender. He would see his first of many #1s on the final Top 10 of 2022, just 3 months into his leadership. ACP would then become the #1 army of the year by 2023 Top 10 rankings, winning multiple league awards including Biggest Army of the Summer/Winter, Most Tactical Army of the Summer and Winter, with Calgo receiving awards such as the Best Major Army Leader of the Summer, Most Achieved, and the Bluesockwa Award (Biggest Influence). Calgocubs was known for his avid love for war, conquering the CPA map with the most land out of all armies in the 2023 iteration, fighting in multiple victorious wars against SWAT, Dark Vikings and the Elite Guardians. Despite being declared war on in June by 3 major armies-the Rebel Penguin Federation, Water Vikings, and EGCP- Calgo demonstrated his capacity as a war strategist, uniting the rest of the community under the Sapphire Concordat, garnering support from allies such as the Help Force, SWAT, PIC, Templars and Napalm Corps, walking out of an initially seemingly one-sided war- dubbed World War IX- unscathed. With multiple victories under his belt, he went on to lead ACP to victory in Legends Cup VIII, setting the highest max of 2023 with a total of 61 troops online and became one of the only five armies to have ever won a LC tournament.  The win also served as ACP’s first Legends Cup win in its history. To crown his incredible year, he was voted as the Person Of The Year in 2023 by Club Penguin Armies; a testament to how legendary of a figure he was.

The year of 2022 was, in many ways, a culmination of events and conflicts sparked within 2021. Though rivalry between Club Penguin Army Headquarters and Club Penguin Army Network persisted, Mr Max, alongside his media allies, paved way for a United Media initiative that allowed for numerous independently operated tournaments. March Madness VII echoed results in the previous year following a victory for the Ice Warriors under leadership like Kally. A new army-based private server, CPA Battleground, provided a new platform for war following the closure of CP Rewritten. With the divide between the major media organizations beginning to narrow, the two agreed to form Club Penguin Armies in June. The Templars continued a streak of dominance under Xing and Racecar4, materializing in a win at the finals of Legends Cup XII against the Water Vikings led by Aaronstone42. Maintaining a reputation of tenacity, the Rebel Penguin Federation, led by Elexonck, became triumphant in a conflict with Templars as well as extending their Christmas Chaos XII.

Classification: Major Leader

Aaronstone42’s first taste of success came as the leader of the legendary Underground Mafias Army. In just a handful of months, the army would rise from the bottom of the Small Medium Army Central rankings to 9th place on the Club Penguin Army Central top ten. He then moved on to the army he is most associated with today: the Water Vikings. Dubbed the ‘Blue Summer’, Aaron helped WV become relevant during the second golden age of CPA, earning the status of one of the ‘Great Leaders’ in the WV hall of fame. He later went on to lead the Pretzels and the Blue Miners Army; both of which reached sizes of 50+ and top five placements in CPAC under his command in 2015. In the CPPS era- though he began as an advisor- he would go on to lead the revival of WV in July of 2021. The army quickly rose to sizes of 25+ and competed for 5th place in the top ten. WV also declared themselves winners of a war against the Templars after their enemy stopped showing up. The crown jewel of Aaron’s career was their domination of Champions Cup VI- the first major tournament win for WV. Despite a turbulent surrounding cast, WV peaked at second place under his command in the summer of 2022 and took down Special Weapons & Tactics in the second Eagre Foray war. The culmination of his efforts came to be in Legends Cup XII, as his army advanced to the finals before a close loss to the Templars despite sizes of over 50. Even with his retirement on October 15th of 2022, he remained a key figure in the Water Vikings government, assisting the army’s tie in a war against TCP. A testament to how much he was the lifeblood of WV, the army would close on the 13th of November, less than a month after his retirement. Aaronstone’s dedication to his leadership is unrivaled, and for that, he deserves this legend nomination.

Classification: Major Leader

Elexonck would first begin his army career in 2018 by entering RPF and becoming a member of staff by the fall of 2019. After reaching the position of 2nd-in-Command in 2020, Elex would take part in leading many of RPF’s successful war invasions against the Recon Federation, Water Vikings, and other enemy armies at the time. Elex entered the leadership in February 2021, alongside co-leader F6sixer. He then continued to lead RPF to 100+ sizes at the 14th RPF anniversary celebration and preserved RPF’s champion titles by winning both Legends Cup XI and Christmas Chaos XI. By 2022, Elex triumphed against the Templars against all odds and led RPF to new heights in the Summer Sovereignty War. RPF came out on top and powered through Christmas Chaos XII, taking home yet another title. Throughout this RPF Icon’s leadership, he has led the rebels to the #1 spot on the Top Ten and represented how powerful this army can be.

Classification: Major Leader

Kally first joined the Ice Warriors in early 2020, quickly making her way up the ranks to achieve Leader in Training in the fall of 2020. Before finally achieving the official rank as Leader in the Ice Warriors, Kally aided the leaders as a Leader In Training during the CCX Tournament and March Madness 2021 tournament, helping solidify IW’s 1st place victory.

Max has held multiple high-ranking positions as a 10-year army veteran, including successful stints in the Doritos, Pirates, Redemption Force, Water Vikings, Nachos, etc. Returning to the army community in November 2019, he served predominantly in the Army of Club Penguin as a Second-in-Command, eventually making it to Commander-in-Chief in June 2021. During his time in ACP, he has led multiple successful wars and tournaments, winning the inaugural Project: Conquest under his leadership. Armies aside, Max is perhaps best known for his passion for writing. He served as the Vice President of Club Penguin Army Media in 2020 and helped to push the merger with Club Penguin Army League to form the Club Penguin Army Hub. He played a key part in the CPAH administration, working hard behind the scenes to improve the unified map and top 10, something the community had not seen since CP’s closure in 2017. With the community once again thrown into divide in March 2021, Max was one of the leading charges of unity, forming United Media to host AUSIA Arena and later March Madness in 2022. He later played a key role in the unification of the CPAHQ and CPAN to form Club Penguin Armies, serving as CEO of CPA until his departure in October 2022. Max is also known for his love for community events. Hosting multiple community-wide events such as the Color Wars, Spring Showdown, and two successful Community Pride Parades, Max has been one of the leading voices of pride within CPA’s LGBTQIA+ community. Without someone like Max, someone who has been at the unification table twice, it is unclear if 2022 would’ve been such a success up to his retirement.

Racecar sees his second legend nomination here after a truly incredible 2022 at the helm of Templars. His journey began in late 2020 in a sudden return to the leadership he quickly ascertained the respect of many amongst the Templars greatest. Racecar was critical in Templars 5th Holy War against RFCP leading several successful attacks resulting in victories against them, assisting the army rise from a languishing medium army in the midst of struggles, to one considered a formidable force with official major status being handed out in May 2021. The year 2021 truly saw Racecar come to the forefront of the community with himself being a major player in multiple conflicts with the Water Vikings as well as leading Templars to glory in the 6th Errantry War against the Magma Clan as well as victory as well as victory in wars against SWAT and Silver Empire. 2021 didn’t stop there for Racecar with a plethora of successes in tournaments, leading Templars to the Champions Cup 2021 Finals as well as Christmas Chaos 2021 and Legends Cup 2021 Semi Finals seeing sizes of 80+ in these tournaments, a feat worthy of admirable praise within Templars due to recent woes in tournaments. Templars won awards such as Biggest Rise of 2021, firmly stating his prowess during this calendar year once more. Finally, 2021 saw Racecar’s induction into the Templar Hall of Fame, being only one of two recipients in this year. This dominancy continued throughout 2022 with the year starting strong for Racecar with a victory in the 2022 New Year Bonanza as well as another war victory this time against Red Ravagers. Sizes kept increasing, first place kept coming for Templars in the Top Ten with none to oppose them leading to what was dubbed the “Golden Domination” of the Top Ten midway through 2022 when Racecar smashed the Top Ten record as they celebrated their twenty first week of first position in the weekly Top Ten on June 5th 2022. Racecar had a prominent role in 2022’s greatest war between Templars and RPF, distinguishing himself at the pinnacle of leading, assisting the Templars to victories against RPF during the conflict. Racecar’s domination continued throughout the latter parts of 2022 with war victories against SWAT and Lime Green Army also contributed to Templars being the gold standard of 2022. Perhaps Racecar’s greatest achieved happened on October 15th 2022, when Racecar led Templars to their first ever victory in the 2022 Legends Cup maxing 83 at the finals, becoming only the fourth ever army to win the competition and followed up with an equally strong performance in the 2022 Christmas Chaos, narrowly missing out on victory in the Final. With the Templars absolute domination of 2022, there can be no doubt as to Racecar’s status as one of the best leaders of this generation.

Zeus would begin his journey in the Army of Club Penguin as a private in May 8, 2021, quickly ranking up to Higher Command in just 2 months after making moderator in October. As Higher Command, Zeus would play a pivotal role in Operation: Vengeance, where ACP answered the call to arms alongside HF, RR and PIC to fend off the Western Bloc consisting of SE, WV and SWAT, which would eventually conclude with a truce with a war score of 23-2-3 after over a month of battling. December would see Jesus promoted to leader, just a little over one month after his debut in ACP’s Higher Command team. In just one month of leading, Zeus would place ACP back as a major contender, facing off against the Templars with sizes of 32+. Fending off against an onslaught of Templars raids in February, Zeus is also credited for successfully transitioning ACP from CPR to CPAB, bringing the army in the first time in CPPS history to solely use an army-based CPPS.

Nobody could have foreseen what would happen in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic bought numerous veterans back into the community, sparking the ‘third golden age’ of CP Armies and unity between CPR and CPO armies. This unity came in the form of a merge between Ayan’s CP Army Media and CP Army League, to form a new league – CP Army Hub. This year was strong for the Army of CP, led solely by CSY and the Ice Warriors under numerous leaders, but notably Regan.

Ayan first began his journey in armies in 2018 around the outbreak of World War VII. His army, Help Force, did not take part in the war, instead focusing on growing. During the 2018 Legends Cup, Help Force was eliminated in the second round, but this was still a revolutionary feat for a newly formed army. Help Force quickly became a strong military power that would reach sizes in the 60s and higher. Under Ayan, Help Force became very well-known through the community and engaged in numerous wars with Club Penguin Online alliances, defeating armies like the Pirates, Templars, and Light Troops. Ayan’s Help Force also defeated the Pirates at the 2019 Summer Bash and accomplished an arguably greater feat: the Help Force Exodus, which moved Help Force from Club Penguin Online to Club Penguin Rewritten with an entirely new Discord Server. Ayan, however, is most known for his work this year in the media, with emphasis on his leadership of CP Army Media and the founding of CP Army Hub. His work as Chief Executive Officer of CP Army Media included heavy post-production, upkeep, and administration alongside his partner, Emcee. He also worked to help unify the community under one league and one news site, leading to CP Army Hub. Ayan was undoubtedly a trailblazer in anything he did, from founding popular news sites and leagues to creating what is arguably one of the most successful armies to be created during the CPPS army era.

Crazzy is well-known in the army community for her work in the Rebel Penguin Federation, her home army since 2019. Working from private, she quickly ranked up to 2ic right before World War Rewritten. As a 2ic, she was given the task to lead against ACP land in multiple battles, most notably leading the defense of Tuxedo, the biggest CPR-side battle in history. Following the war, she was given Rebel Commander at the beginning of June where she began her reign of dominance alongside Cosmo. She was able to lead RPF to victory in the Legends Cup, reaching sizes of 162. Following the tournament, she played a key role in the foundation of the Black Ice Alliance, the largest alliance in recent memory. She led RPF through wars versus DCP and RFCP, reaching sizes of 100 and chasing both of them out of the league. Her next big achievement came in October where RPF won the Fright or Fight tournament, sweeping ACP 3-0 in the finals, surpassing 120 once again. Subsequently, RPF declared war on Water Vikings. Dubbed as the Black Seas War, RPF was able to go undefeated once more. Under Crazzy’s leadership, RPF has been the most dominant army of the year, being first on the top ten for almost the entirety of her leadership. She has been able to surpass expectations as Rebel Commander, helping RPF reach sizes of almost 130 in December.

CSY even claimed the number one spot on the Club Penguin Army Hub major top ten, just one of three armies to do so this year. Most notably, CSY played a pivotal role in the infamous World War Rewritten and took his army to the Fright or Fight finals, where the army saw an enormous size of 116 online. His AUSIA division has also proved to be very successful, breaking the previous size record of the AUSIA division creator, Flipmoo.

Regan began his venture in armies when he joined the Ice Warriors in 2010 as a private. He spent five years with the army and ranked up to Second-in-Command while Ice Warriors dominated the community. He rejoined armies during the COVID-19 boom when he rejoined the Ice Warriors for Second-in-Command. He was apart of their HCOM when IW hit their record size of 165. He was quickly promoted to leader and helped guide the army to reach incredible sizes during the Club Penguin Online era. Once Club Penguin Online shut down, he was able to help Ice Warriors onto a brand new CPPS with ease, where the army continued to dominate the community. Regan helped give Ice Warriors an impressive Legends Cup run where they exceeded sizes of 100+ multiple times. Following the tournament, he was influential in the formation of the Black Ice Alliance, the most dominant alliance in recent history. With the foundation of this alliance, they defeated the Doritos in war and added to Regan’s undefeated war record. The Ice Warriors also went on to win the March Madness tournament under his guidance. Despite the multitude of significant retirements in the army, Regan was able to maintain their impressive sizes, almost always holding a top three ranking in the top ten under his leadership including displacing RPF for consecutive weeks. Currently, he has led IW into the Christmas Chaos, surpassing sizes of 110+. Outside of Ice Warriors, Regan was selected as one of the original Head Judges. He played a pivotal role in creating the judging rules for the newly merged league and also helped recreate the Water Ninjas who have held rankings on the major top ten an abundance of times.

Freedomist’s army notability began when he joined Templars in August 2019 and earned leader within a week. In his two months of leading, he was able to defeat notable armies such as Help Force, Aliens, and Royals in wars. After retiring for a while, Freedomist returned to armies in April 2020 and brought the Templars from Club Penguin Online to Club Penguin Rewritten successfully. Under his leadership, the Templars began hitting sizes of 30+ while consistently maintaining an average of 20+. He led until September, helping the army be one of the top medium armies of the summer. His leadership also saw the army beat the Coup Crusaders, Lime Green Army, and Recon Federation in wars. He was able to stabilize the army’s EU division while leading. After leaving Templars, he moved on to the Water Ninjas where he was given leader in October 2020. As leader, the Water Ninjas quickly hit major rankings and have consistently maintained a 20+ max, stabilizing the army. Water Ninjas also reached its highest max ever of 42 under Freedomist. Throughout Freedomist’s leadership, the Water Ninjas have remained on the major top ten and have gone undefeated in many battles.

Lightningmcj has been a significant figure in small-medium armies, gaining this recognition in a relatively short time span. After joining in early May of 2020 with the Recon Federation, Light made his way to the Pizza Federation, following Snork’s assumption to leader. Within less than two months, Light became the quickest Second-in-Command and the fastest climber in Pizza Federation’s history. He was responsible for co-ruling the army’s foreign relations and for spearheading the Small-Medium Army Union. After four months of being in the army, Light became the leader. He led Pizza Federation to two more tournament victories and set new max records for the army. His outstanding work, smart diplomacy, and efforts to expand Pizza Federation’s influence to other games makes him comparable to some of the army’s other legends, as he built on their foundations to make the army even more dominant through 2020.

Doctor Mine Turtle, known in his later years as DMT, joined the Club Penguin Crew in 2010. As years went on, he gained leadership experience in various armies, most notably the Striking Raiders and the Chaos Army. His most notable position was as leader of the Army Republic in 2015. He was chosen by Burr and Vinny to lead the second generation of AR alongside Ace/Gasp56 and Victory889. DMT helped usher in a successful return of the historic army. He is most attributed to establishing an intricate recruiting force, which helped the army reach sizes of 40+. He retired at the end of 2015 due to health complications, though he made a brief return as an ACP 2ic in 2016.  However, DMT is mostly known for his administration position of the 2019 league “Club Penguin Armies”. During his time as Admin, he strove to create a fair environment in which armies could compete; setting up infrastructure and tournaments, and judging battles himself extremely often. DMT could be called the face of 2019 CPA as he published weekly Top Tens, mediated disagreements, set standards, and even wrote provoking philosophical pieces on the nature of modern day armies. Without DMT, the army community would have been much more stagnant than it was in 2019, and for that, he is a Legend.

RPF rose to become the top army in the twilight of Disney’s Club Penguin with Greeny in the leadership. He also went on to lead the Doritos before the death of the original CP. In 2019, Greeny returned with a bang by founding the Club Penguin Armies organization as well as leading the first CPPS generation of the Lime Green Army. He was instrumental to the success of LGA, quickly garnering the respect of his former army RPF. LGA became a huge player in warfare, despite only maxing around 20 on their own. The army often found itself on the outside of major status, but were able to hold their own against the major armies of 2019 and held a good chunk of land on the map. As administrator, Greeny’s main claim to fame is his part in maintaining communication with CPOAL, playing an important part in the early grounds of unification. His dedication to the army community, as well as his prowess in foreign affairs, has given him the title of S/M Legend in 2020.

Snork joined the Templars, who were in CPOAL at the time, towards the end of 2018. He climbed the ranks of the army, becoming 2nd in Command in a relatively short amount of time. The Templars leadership made some decisions that Snork and others disagreed with, and this resulted in the Templars being kicked from the New Viking Alliance. Snork had had enough, and gathered up like minded individuals to create the Winged Hussars, who quickly joined NVA. They played a part in the Templars Exodus War, that saw NVA win, thus earning the Winged Hussars their independence. Snork led the army to become one that stood the sands of time. After they were banned by CPOAL, they joined Club Penguin Armies. Snork was well known in the community as the face of the Winged Hussars, who were viewed as a promising army that was slowly building in numbers. Eventually, the Hussars fell in size and merged into the Pretzels in the Fall of 2019. Snork joined the leadership alongside Cena/Colin, and the Pretzels became a serious force in the S/M community. The addition of Snork to the leadership saw the retention of new recruits skyrocket. The Pretzels frequently engaged in wars, most notably with the Templars, who had joined CPA, and the Lime Green Army. They won both wars while consistently maxing 20+. Snork was also recognized as a prominent voice when it came to reformation in the Club Penguin Armies organization, regularly giving out constructive criticism and helping moderate the chat. Snork’s rise to prominence in the community demonstrated his qualities as a well-respected and loved leader, who used his skills to take multiple armies to heights that many S/M armies aspire to reach. Snork was chosen as a S/M Legend in 2020.

SagaSage, or just Sage, made headlines in the Club Penguin Rewritten community with his army known as Mopia. Mopia began as a rogue group that quickly developed into a hangout, and soon after joining the Club Penguin Armies organization. Mopia instantly became one of the most electric armies in the community due to their rapid style of warfare. Sage was the main innovator behind the genius, as well as the spokesperson for Mopia in the community. Sage pioneered the idea of voice chat leading on Discord, which allowed his army to outpace just about every other army in the community. The army was also known for their intricate word tactics and formations. Viewers were always in for a visual treat when Mopia took on another army, as they put on a tactical masterpiece every time they took the battleground. Mopia became a huge success story as the first CPPS army to rise to such heights of 30+ and a big presence on the map. Sage was also known as voice of reason in the community, playing a big part in many rule changes and communications with CPOAL. Towards the end of the Summer of 2019, Sage made the decision to shut down the Club Penguin branch of the Mopia community, citing the hostility they’d received from the Club Penguin Rewritten admins. Although Sage and his army were short-lived, it is undeniable that he was an innovator of the CPPS army community, and his rapid rise to success with Mopia can never be forgotten. Sage is a S/M Legend for these contributions.

Epic101 has been recognized in the past for his work in the Light Troops and other armies like the Marines and the Redemption Force. This time around he has been inducted to become an army legend for his recent work in the Pirates and his contribution to armies this year. Epic101 returned to the army community in July 2018, by leading the Templars army, who at the time were maxing sizes of 15, he rose the Templars up over the course of his leadership to sizes of 50. Shortly after this, he departed the Templars and began leading the Omegas, which became the Pirates. Since leading the Pirates, he rose them to notability and high sizes, peaking in mid-September. By late 2018, the Pirates rose to be the top army of CPOAL. Aside from his leadership in armies, Epic, with the help of Club Penguin Online Admin, Riley, reformed the Club Penguin Online Army League and in November 2018 he hosted the second army tournament since the leagues formation, the Christmas Chaos. In the end many armies took part and enjoyed the various amount of battles and the army league rose to have over 50 registered armies, and is one of the most successful army organisations since Club Penguin’s Closure in 2017. CPPS armies reached an all time high since 2018, being the most active the community has been since Club Penguin closed. Epic’s work in the Pirates, Light Troops and above all, armies as a whole, has made him one of the most influential figures in the community since 2017.

Popsiclebeak began his career in 2016 by joining the Rebel Penguin Federation. By 2017, he became leader and was well known as their main leader after the coup of Elmikey, in which Popsicle assisted in. Popsicle was known for his leadership attitude, which sparked controversy all across the community. During his initial leadership, he rose RPF through policies of isolation and cooperation with the Club Penguin Rewritten CPPS. He is credited as a RPF legend for growing the army to getting alleged sizes of 100 in early 2018, which ensured RPF’s dominance as the biggest army of the time. By summer 2018, he was still leading and declared war on the Templars. However, he underestimated the enemy, namely the Elite Guardians, which had sizes similar to RPF. Despite RPF’s loss in the war, Popsicle alongside XxToysoldier, would win the 2018 CPOAL Summer Legends Cup against the Elite Guardians. Popsicle is one of the most influential early leaders of the CPPS era of armies, and one of RPF’s most influential leaders of all time, and for that, he has been inducted as a 2018 major legend.

 

 

 

Twitchy first began his career in December 2008 after the end of World War IV by taking part in the Red Raiders. Twitchy began to experiment with armies, taking part in the Underground Mafias Army and the Army of Club Penguin. He managed to climb to owner within UMA and left ACP. Twitchy would then spend time leading and taking part of other armies at this time, with Elites and Water Vikings being most notable. Twitchy would later join Rebel Penguin Federation in 2013, and requested to start at the bottom. Commando, however, felt his reputation and experience was too much to let go of, and gave him fifth-in-command. Twitchy would lead in 2015 after the 2015 Legends Cup against Water Vikings. He would retire later on and returned in 2016 for a short period of time to the RPF to lead, reaching high sizes.

During his career he earned titles such as Romans Legend and Emperor, RPF Icon, and UMA Crew. Most notably in his CPPS-era career, he founded and ran the Club Penguin Army Syndicate, the first CPPS-era army league in February of 2018. This league saw an increase of activity within the community, specifically the S/M side, from February to April 2018. He would return to lead RPF in October 2018, not too long after their loss in World War VII. By January 2019, he retired from the leadership. Due to this, he was inducted as a 2018 CPA legend in 2019.

 

 

Xing first joined armies in 2012 but his activity was on and off until 2017. He was first known for creating several armies at this time, while forming a following of loyal troops. His rise to prominence occurred in April 2018 when he founded the Templars army alongside Elmikey, which the latter would merge his Rebel Penguin Marines army into Templars. Templars became controversial for their ethics and morals of the army. They would go to war with EGCP not too long after, which became known as the First Great Holy War. Most notably, Xing and Templars would be the catalyst for World War VII, after controversy regarding multilogging accusations began being thrown at them from the Rebel Penguin Federation. Despite Templars’ losses at the beginning of the war, he would help form the Red Dawn Alliance with several other army leaders and would take part in leading it to a victory against the RPF. After the war, he would lead the Templars on and off throughout 2018. He would take part in leading the Templars in the Third Great Holy War, but would ultimately lose. He would then take part in the 2019 migration from CPO to CPR. For the years from 2018 to present, he served as the charismatic face for the Templars and would get them to their heights, sometimes solo. They have been banned multiple times from several leagues (notably CPAH) due to their controversy, but have still made a remarkable impact on the army community.

Ray el Rey (known as Ray) first began his career in 2014 by joining the Dark Warriors. He was removed due to inactivity, however. He returned in 2017 after being recruited into the Romans army. He was known for documenting his entire career and known for his ability to quickly catch on and rank up. By January 2018, he was promoted to Romans leader by Twitchy543. Under his leadership (and with his co-leaders), he rose the Romans army to prominence during it’s last stretch within the community at this time. He was able to successfully win a war against the Club Penguin Crew and was able to see many success in battles against the Underground Mafias Army during the UMA-Romans War. He would then go onto become an administrator within the Club Penguin Army Syndicate in March 2018. He would return to the community in summer 2018 to help co-found the Nova Phoenix Corps and help lead it for it’s short existence. Due to this, Ray was inducted as a 2018 S/M legend in 2020.

Mason Cooper began his CPA career in 2017 by joining the Underground Mafias Army. He quickly rose the ranks of the army and would become the second-in-command by January 2018. After the War Against Ehroyals, he staged a coup against the UMA leader, Dillon. This coup started the UMA Civil War of 2018, splitting the army into two factions: New Underground Mafias Army (led by Mason) and the rump Underground Mafias Army (led by Ehroyals). After a period of war, they reunited and became one army once again. Now with a new leadership, Mason became the face of UMA during February 2018. He was regarded for his successful leadership within the army due to his stern personality and get-it-done attitude. Due to this, Mason was inducted as a 2018 S/M legend in 2020.

Chelpopkick began his career in early 2018 after joining the mostly rogue-based army, the Pizza Bois. This army was very popular within the CPR community. However, the organized aspect of the army began to dwindle and on April 30th of 2018, Chelpopkick helped begin a rebellion against the army. He would help co-found the Pizza Bois Rebellion (now called the Pizza Federation) and would be voted as their leader. Despite his often dictatorial leading style, he led the army during it’s dark first months and era, known as the “2007” era. The PZF performed poorly during the 2018 Summer Tournament, causing fellow CPA Legend Cobra to join the army as an advisor in July 2018 and modernize the army. With a newly modernized army, Chelpopkick would begin a new era of the army, leading it to prominence and notability within the community. He was well regarded for his dedication to leading the army. He would join the Red Dawn Alliance to fight in World War VII. After the war, due to his notable leading skills, he was given a role within the Nova Phoenix Corps and merged PZF into the army. However, after 3 days of leading, he retired. His leadership and founding of the PZF would form a long lasting legacy within the S/M community. Due to this, Chelpopkick was inducted as a 2018 S/M legend in 2020.

Cobra first began armies in 2013 by joining the Rebel Penguin Federation. He would remain on and off in armies until November 2017, when he was recruited into the Dark Knight Empire. He quickly rose the ranks to become the leader by the time of the War of Roman Subjugation. During this, he would fight the Romans and help found the now legendary New Viking Alliance. After the war, he left the Dark Knights and lead the NVA in the War Against Ehroyals in January 2018. He also assisted Elmikey in operations against RPF in the RPF-RPM War. After spells in CPC and Romans, he would restart the Dark Knight Empire in February, before merging into Romans. His career saw it’s first true success, bringing Romans to reach military heights and S/M size heights that were uncommon before this time, paving the way into being deemed “Most Influential Leader of 2018”. He would close Romans and not return until the summer of 2018, becoming 2ic at Templars and a key player in their diplomatic relations, helping to lead the Templars during the early days of World War VII. He would then become advisor in the Pizza Federation and the Elite Guardians [EGCP], before switching from Templars to EGCP high command, acting as leader (and would be inducted into their hall of fame). He would help found and be one of the five main leaders the Red Dawn Alliance during WWVII. His military plans were well regarded by both Templars and EGCP, which would help the RDA victory against the RPF. Cobra would go onto advise several armies and remain as acting leader in EGCP until his final stretch in armies in 2020, a final leadership spell with Romans. Cobra would go onto become an administrator at the Club Penguin Army Syndicate in March 2019, creating the legendary league formula adapted from Twitchy543’s league which would go onto be used in later leagues to this date. Cobra was also extensively involved in the CPA wiki during 2018 and early 2019, returning again late 2020.

Classification: Small/Medium Leader

Dillon, despite joining armies in 2012, is best known for being the pioneer of Club Penguin Rewritten Armies in March 2017. An early member of the Rewritten Clans, Dillon would get permission from the guardians of the Underground Mafias Army to recreate the army alongside Fudge Doge on 28 March 2017, making UMA the first CPPS army. Dillon was able to successfully defeat rival clans (namely the CPR Mafia in the first war of the CPPS era) and get a few of them to merge into the UMA, allowing UMA to become the dominant force on Club Penguin Rewritten for a short period. Acting as the primary leader UMA, Dillon would go onto achieve sizes of 20+, a rare feat for 2017. Despite his controversial status, Dillon would become a household name and one of the primary faces of the Rewritten Era of armies, being a pioneer of the culture at the time. In particular, Dillon became a lead figure in the anti-RPF movement throughout 2017. In October 2017, Dillon was able to secure rights from Djgtjvgyhxgy to revive the Romans army, which would go onto be a major player in army politics. Dillon, who returned to UMA shortly thereafter would later co-found the notable UMADKE alliance during the War of Roman Subjugation, the precursor to the New Viking Alliance. Through a mix of 2007, modern, and spontaneous quick-paced warfare (deemed the “Blitzkrieg”), Dillon alongside the UMADKE alliance managed to defeat the Romans in the most significant war of 2017. Despite a major civil war in 2018 following UMA’s defeat against the New Viking Alliance, Dillon was able to help reunite the Underground Mafias Army through his perseverance of maintaining the old way, which allowed UMA to have a highly successful run in early 2018; establishing one of the largest empires and consistently maxing large numbers. Despite Dillon stepping down from main leader, Dillon has remained a culturally significant figure in Club Penguin Armies, especially the early CPPS era of armies. His leadership has inspired the revival/creation of numerous armies, as well as the establishment of the first major and successful media site of the CPPS era, Club Penguin Rewritten Army Central.

Thomas had his first experience with armies in 2009, after attending a Nachos event as a rogue. His career would officially start in October 2016 after joining the Nachos officially. By February of 2017, he became second-in-command of the army. In May, not too long after the Nachos closed down, Thomas would form the Cocoa Warriors and lead it for a month, reaching sizes well into the 20’s before it was defaced. He would then revive the infamous Club Penguin Crew in November of that year. He managed to lead the army to sizes within the 20’s and had a minor competition with the Rebel Penguin Federation. The army’s downfall began when they lost a war against he Romans and was defaced and taken over on January 31st of 2018. He would soon leave the community afterwards. His intense family based and recruiting leadership style was unmatched by most armies at this time and would be one of they key factors to Cocoa Warriors’ and CPC’s dominance and notability. He would rejoin the community in the summer of 2020 and would take part in the Water Vikings and the Golden Troops as leader. He would leave soon after, however.

Smurf first began his career in 2010, having served some time in the Army of Club Penguin, the Nachos, the Underground Mafias Army and Water Vikings. However, he would leave the armies by 2015 and wouldn’t return until 2017, by joining the Rebel Penguin Federation. After a while, he would leave and rejoin the Underground Mafias Army. He quickly rose up to leader and would later help reform the Romans (and merge UMA into them) with supervision from Djgtjvgyhxgy and Twitchy543 in October 2017. As UMA returned, he did not return to them and continued leading the Romans. During his leadership, he was noted for his recruiting capabilities, having it being very exceptional for most S/M leaders at this time. He would lead the Romans during the War of Roman Subjugation against the New Viking Alliance. After this war, he would continue leading the army, with more leaders occasionally being promoted and fired. Smurf would help lead during the CPC-Roman War, UMA-Romans War, and the War on EGCP Imperialism before leaving the army to lead the Kings. He would soon retire and not return until 2019. When he returned, he took part in the Army of Club Penguin once again. He would also help revive the Romans twice (October 2019 and July 2020) and lead during both generations for a period of time.

Ulysses Nardo began his career in 2011 when he was recruited into the Army of Club Penguin. He would later create his own army in 2012, called the Onlooking Snow Ninjas, and it lasted for four generations, maxing 30 at its height. The OSN was a community-focused army and hosted innovative events that added new and exciting elements to the standard army events to make them more fun and engaging. Nardo also spent time in the RPF, Arctic Ops, Global Defenders, and Pink Ice. In 2017, Nardo became a Club Penguin Army Central writer shortly before the closure of Club Penguin. After the closure, he would unretire by rejoining the RPF in the Spring of 2017. He also got hired by Club Penguin Rewritten Army Central and worked there until it died. Nardo would eventually go on hiatus, but would later return to form the Club Penguin Democratic Union of Armies, an early league-styled server. From there, Djgtjvgyhxgy would notice him and make him a leader of the Romans army in the Fall. He would be one of Romans’ most well-known leaders during this time, and was known for his ability to uphold diplomatic relations and administrative duties. During his leadership, he led the Romans during the War of Roman Subjugation, the Romans-CPC war, and more. He would create Penguin Press around this same time, which acted as the hub of the army community until it got defaced. In early 2018, Nardo would create the Club Penguin Army Syndicate, which was the first army league in the CPPS army community. He would return to the community, months after going AWOL in February 2018. He would lead the Nova Phoenix Corps for a while and took part in the semi-army site, Club Penguin Central.

This was largely seen as the most difficult year in the history of CP Armies, as sizes slumped and armies struggled to survive knowing that Club Penguin was going to shut in the early months of 2017. The Water Vikings and Rebel Penguin Federation were the more successful armies, particularly through the summer, as they both reached the Legends Cup final for a second year running, while the Night Warriors had a successful return under the strong and experienced leadership of Xxtoysoldier. The Underground Mafias Army, Doritos, Light Troops and Night Rebels also had numerous spells as the number one army.

XxToysoldier started his career with the Doritos of Club Penguin in July 2012 and within a month soared through the ranks to staff. When Doritos came back in 2013, he became an active high command and was promoted to leader in August 2013 due to his recruitment prowess. Toy would lead the army through the war between the New Dawn Alliance and Bloodline Alliance and a finals berth to Champions Cup II. After a rift between him and Mustapha10x, Toy would set up camp in the Dark Warriors, and during his sporadic tenures throughout 2014 and 2015, Toy along with his “Agents” co-leaders would lead to 32 first-place finishings (including a 9-week streak), another Champions Cup finals berth (this time winning), peak averages around 60+, numerous awards (such as Biggest Army and Biggest Rise), and becoming statistically the number one army of 2014 (with the army in the top 5 for all but 2 weeks and top 3 for 3/4th of the year). As a part of a plan for a clean state, Toy and Drake would revive the Night Warriors from the ground up and see the army play an infamous role throughout the year. After a final rodeo with his first army the Doritos, Toy would retire his original alias and come back to the community in RPF under the name “Left”. Toy would rank up from the bottom up under this fresh start and would become RPF leader in September 2017 due to his continued strong recruitment ethic and battle leadership skills during the Great Tuba War. Aside from a brief interim where he left between late December and March 2018, Toy—alongside Popsiclebeak and Chip—would lead RPF as a de-facto triumvirate where he (as the army’s diplomatic figure) pioneered a golden era that such it dominate early CPPS. Toy would craft RPF’s first venture outside of its isolation where they won Legends Cup 2018. Toy would be a leading figure of late-original CPA and was one of the main figures of early CPPS.

Orange was one of the first leaders of the Chaos army, where some of his most notable achievements lie. As a part of their initial leadership, Orange brought Chaos to heights unlike any other, reaching the top spot on CPAC and becoming the number one small/medium army in 2014 and 2015. Under his leadership, Chaos reached the 2013 Legends Cup’s semi-finals and defeated the Ice Warriors twice. They also beat the Rebel Penguin Federation in their third generation. In 2020, Orange brought back Chaos and fought in World War Rewritten alongside the Army of Club Penguin. In addition to his impressive career with Chaos, Orange also led the Water Ninjas in 2014, SWAT in 2015, the Army Republic in 2015, as well as the Golds in 2016. All of these armies were able to rank on their respective Top Ten. For his hefty resume of remarkable achievements, Orange was awarded the title of S/M Legend.

Largely viewed as a period of transition, 2015 brought several faces into the spotlight, as the Doritos became the top dog of the community for a majority of the year. The Ice Warriors, Water Vikings, Dark Warriors, and Rebel Penguin Federation all also had periods of great strength. After the departure of the Blue Brothers, Zakster held the position of Chief Executive Officer of CPA Central, making the most out of minimal resources and following up his success as a leader with success as a media mogul.

Zakster played a role in the rise of many armies and held prominent leadership positions in others. His largest accomplishment is the creation of the former world power, the Water Vikings, who has held spots within the Top 5 often since 2013 and has reached first. Since he created the Water Vikings in 2010, he’s been leader through a part of all five generations of the army, seeing them through some of their most successful ages. In his earlier days, he was the head of CP Army Express during its most affluent era.

Mustapha10x joined the Doritos in 2010 and would become a vital high command. By July 2012, Musta would be promoted to leader in the midst of a war against the Shadow Troops. Musta would oversee the army’s first #1 finishings, consistently vie for top three placements, and making it deep into multiple tournaments (including the Legends Cup IV and Champions Cup II finals) in his first 16 months. By late 2013, Musta cemented himself in the leader scene serving as one of the main figures of the New Dawn Alliance during its three-week-long major conflict against the Bloodline Alliance—which DCP and its allies would be formally victorious. Musta and the Doritos would continue to see major success spearheading the Nations of Dominance against the New Regime Alliance in 2014 and overseeing a long stretch of Doritos dominance in 2015 where they held first for 7 straight weeks (along with other stints at the top)—maxing 80 and being at the forefront for most of that summer’s major conflicts (such as WV-NDA war and a victory against the Power Alliance). The Doritos would finish the year as the statistically number one army of the year of 2015 and Mustapha as Person of the Year. Years after the original Club Penguin Armies closed, Mustapha would bring back the Doritos with Freezie66 and 32op where he saw the army become victorious in Christmas Chaos IX, consistently maxing 100+ at its peak (peaking at a manually counted confirmed 146 max in the March Madness semi-finals), and regularly finishing first in a highly competitive top ten (being edged out by the Pirates for statistically number one army of 2020 CPO by a singular point). Mustapha has established himself as one of the most successful leaders of his time and was responsible for numerous Doritos golden ages—pioneering the army into the conversation for some of the greatest armies of all time.

Andrew24 returned to the Community thanks to contact from Freezie66. Andrew returned as a Board Member of the League and was initially just watching over the community before taking over a short-term stunt in the Pirates alongside his Crew including members like Agent 11. The Pirates had some highs and lows during this period, however, following Epic101’s return and re-takeover of the Pirates, Andrew and his crew recreated the Ice Warriors. The Ice Warriors went on to become arguably one of the biggest Club Penguin Armies in the community in just under two weeks. They dominated the Army Scene thanks to their efficient recruiting techniques on the #1 CPPS, CPOnline & went on to dominate in Wars against armies such as the Doritos. It must be noted that, thanks to Andrew & his leadership, the Ice Warriors managed to max sizes of 150 on multiple occasions and never dropped to sizes below 60 during his tenure. During the Ice Warriors peak, they saw a max size of 165 troops at the March Madness semi finals, a size that was never seen before. Due to his hard work within the Ice Warriors & his running of the Army Community alongside Freezie66, he has been inducted as an Army Legend.

Bepboy9 started his career in the very army he made his name, joining the new Water Vikings as a low member rank during its first generation under Zakster and Jed Pen. Soon after though, he was inaugurated as Pirates Leader when the Water Vikings changed their name in the summer of 2011, and his career took off from there. Since then, he’s been a mainstay inside the leadership of the Water Vikings, seeing them through the famous “Blue Summer” of 2013 where the Water Vikings were seen as a world power, dominating the top ten and reaching numerous later stages of several tournaments, as well as the generation following that, where the Water Vikings became a consistent Top 5 contender and even reached first. In 2015, he led the Water Vikings to nearly pull off what would have been the greatest upset in the history of the Legends Cup, as the Water Vikings reached an army record 80+ on CP in the Final. Previous to the final, the Water Vikings reached 50+, 60+ and 50+ again in the run-up to their huge battle against the RPF. Outside of the Water Vikings, Bepboy9 has made rounds in army media, holding Vice President of CPA Central and Chief Executive Officer of Small/Medium Army Central. Overall, it’s fair to say he’s one of the most important figures in the history of the Water Vikings.

The year 2014 saw a revitalization for CP Armies, despite it being what many consider the end of the Second Golden Age. It was a year of innovation, as Bluesockwa1 and Bluesockwa2 solidified themselves as the most influential sibling dynasty armies had ever seen. CPA Central reached new heights in terms of views, largely because of the Brothers’ new dedication to hard-hitting investigative reports and discussion-provoking editorials. The Army of CP saw heights not experienced since early 2012, as Flipmoo/Slimball2007 reformed the landscape of the army. His push for an AUSIA Division in the community gave many new troops the opportunity to play the game, and changed war forever.

Bluesocka1 was the sixth person to oversee operations at CPA Central. Promoted to CEO by Bluesockwa2 in July of 2012, Blue1 reformed many parts of CPAC, and tested the self-hosting waters for armies. Under him, CPAC became an organization that worked better and faster than ever before, also reaching a new views record in January 2014. The site began to not only report the news, but influence the news, and CPAC under the Bluesockwa Brothers was able to stand alongside, and often above, the powerful armies of the day. Above all, through facets such as investigative journalism and editorials, Blue1’s CPAC uncovered scandals, brought down leaderships, and anchored a changing army world, leading CPA Central to become a site that, in the words of Woton, was the best it had ever been. Towards the end of his career, Blue1’s editorials became a powerful force, shaping the political climate of CP Armies.

 

Classification: Major Leader

 

Though he served in multiple armies throughout his career, Bluesockwa2 is most known for his long career in CPA Central. He was the first to make a career out of the media, joining CPAC in 2010. In August 2011, Bluesockwa2 was promoted to CEO alongside Kingfunks4. Serving beside him, and later beside Bluesockwa1, Blue2 began the revitalization that led to the Golden Age of CPAC, where its community outreach, influence and participation where at record highs. He made the site into a professional, strictly run, high-quality machine for the first time and a political powerhouse thanks to the weekly Top Ten Armies. Bluesockwa2’s CPAC became a major source of funds for various startups and programs and released hard-hitting investigative reports that shaped the political climate of armies for months to come.

Flipmoo/Slimball2007 is known for his contributions since the early days of armies, beginning with his creation of the Impossible Mission Army Force, a powerful army beginning in 2007 and spanning many years. However, Flipmoo’s contributions in the Army of CP changed the landscape of armies forever. Before even taking over the army, Flipmoo was the leader of its AUSIA Division. Through ACP, Flipmoo brought AUSIA to prominence in armies, giving AUSIA troops the chance to become involved in armies, and leading many other armies to start similar divisions. ACP’s, however, was unmatched, and the success of this division helped propel ACP through countless wars, and in total, has achieved a nearly perfect winning percentage under his leadership.  Upon taking over leadership of the ACP, Flipmoo brought the army to heights not seen since its fall in 2012.

Freezie66 joined the Redemption Force in November 2019 as an advisor but after a dispute with Reacon, he contacted Mustapha10 and recreated the Doritos. Freezie with the help of Epic101 & Mustapha and 32op, managed to recruit hundreds upon hundreds of new members to the Doritos in just a matter of weeks and defeated the Redemption Force in a War after just a matter of battles. Following this, Freezie left the Doritos and recreated the Dark Warriors with the help of a DW Legend, Spi101.  Within a matter of months, he had won the Christmas Chaos tournament and created a truly amazing community that is simply incomparable. The Dark Warriors are still living on today thanks to Freezie’s amazing contributions and teachings and many leaders in the current community look up to Freezie for his hard work & teachings. Following his retirement from the Dark Warriors, he joined the Army League Board and ran the league along side Andrew24 in the absence of Epic101, without Andrew & Freezie’s leadership, the Community would have collapsed. Thanks to these guys, the Community flourished and became the #1 News Provider & was host to the biggest & best Club Penguin Armies since Club Penguins Closure with armies averaging sizes between 50 – 150 week in and week out.

Blaze was one of the most important members of 2014 S/M Armies. Before this year, he was an active member of the community at CP Army Focus, helping to bring the site to more viewers than it had previously reached. Because of this, it reached the attention of Bluesockwa1 at CPAC, who brokered a deal with Blaze to form SM Army Press. Around this time, Blaze was leading the Redemption Force into greater heights, sometimes even breaking into the CPA Central Top Ten. Blaze, perhaps, will be remembered as the single most effective person of 2014, leading the Redemption Force to dominance and bringing SMAP to be a #1 SM Army News Site as its first CEO.

Superaalden, the Fluffy Sheep, is a very notable figure of the AUSIA community who served and led the earliest AUSIA armies known to the community. He became the AUSIA leader of the Army Republic during its golden age, an army which he dedicated his time and loyalty to throughout his career, thus eventually bestowing him the esteemed title of Legend in the Army Republic. On October 2013, he formed the Greek Sheeps, an army inspired by Greek mythology. It remained a close ally of the AR, aiding it in numerous wars, including a salient World War between the New Dawn Alliance and the Justice League Alliance, which was the most significant war of 2013. Fluffy Sheep’s influence in the AUSIA community served as leverage in AUSIA invasions, beating even major armies such as the RPF and Water Ninjas even in their prime. As part of the JLA during the World War, GS served as JLA’s only AUSIA force, hence playing a critical role in JLA’s victory. The Greek Sheeps managed to consistently be in the upper echelons of the SMAP Top 10 as well as enter the CPAC Top 10 on numerous occasions despite being a solely AUSIA army, and the CPA community still having minimal AUSIA members in the year 2013. The Greek Sheeps was awarded “Fastest Rise”. He has later conferred the title “Person Of The Year” by SMAP in 2014.

2013 was the beginning of the Second Golden Age of armies, as the members of the community finally began to accept that ACP had fallen. While the Hot Sauce Army held onto the number one spot for a decent amount of time, the new number one army was the Nachos. Under Puckley and other influential leaders, the army sustained the number one spot. In May of this year, the Rebel Penguin Federation returned to prevalence and became a huge rival for Puckley’s Nachos. The Rebel Penguin Federation’s leadership then spearheaded the future of recruiting and innovation in all Club Penguin armies under Elmikey and Tax1. The Army Republic also peaked in 2013 as it spearheaded the White Alliance in the earlier parts of the year and continued to remain powerful under Buritodaily and Vinny. The Ice Warriors also saw a return late this year and the following year, with Kingfunks4 at the helm in the best showing of his career.

Classification: Major Leader

 

Puckley was one of the most dedicated Nachos ever. Joining in February 2008 and still leading to this day, he never missed a battle and always had good spirit. His excellent ideas got the Nachos very far, and without him they would be much different. Throughout all of Person1233′s leadership, Puckley led alongside him. He worked with Person1233 to organize most of the things that Person1233 is credited for, and Puckley is by far one of the greatest friends of the Nachos. Puckley is also known for leading in 2011 along with TanMan626. Together, they made the Nachos the best they have been in a very long time. He also defeated the mighty ACP empire during the summer of 2012, and is arguably the most responsible person for the fall of the army that year. Puckley was also famous for the long and hard war fought against the newly-reformed Rebel Penguin Federation in the summer of 2013. Always respected and held at high regard in this community, and is without a doubt one of the best we have ever seen.

 

Classification: Major Leader

 

One of the earliest members of the 2007 Rebel Penguin Federation as its first 2nd-in-Command, Elmikey would return to CPA to the army in 2013 full-time. Originally as an advisor in May 2013, Elmikey would be tasked by the army to retool its recruitment strategy. While not the first person to make use of the auto-typer, Elmikey would incredibly innovate its potential and made his methods public. RPF would go from 58 members from mid-May to 1.4K+ by summer’s end. He formally would become leader in June where he and the RPF defied all odds—winning the Legends Cup and Christmas Chaos for the year, maxing sizes unseen in years, and kick-starting what would be dubbed the “Second Golden Age” with his Nachonnian counterpart Puckley. RPF’s heated rivalry with the Nachos and Army Republic, as well as being the pioneer of the New Dawn Alliance in its conflict against the Bloodline Alliance, would be the front center of the community (giving it the energy needed after the instability from World War VI). Elmikey would be deemed Person of the Year in 2013 due to his grasp of the community for the year. After a schism with the RPF, Elmikey would be hired to multiple armies including LT, DCP, and DW. Notably under Dark Warriors, Elmikey would put together the “Agents” leadership that would go on to dominate the summer of 2014 (even after his departure). Elmikey’s consecutive leadership tenure of RPF spanning from March 2015 to December 2017 (barring two one-month-long retirements in between) would see more objective success with RPF winning two Legends Cup, one Christmas Chaos, statistical number one for 2016 and 2017, and numerous wars victories and awards. Not to be deterred after being couped from RPF in December 2017, Elmikey would pivot to his own rebellion before setting camp in the newly made Templars in April 2018 as a leader. He would be one of the key figures of the Red Dawn Alliance and oversaw its victory in World War VII—ending RPF’s undisputed dominance from the start of the CPPS era—coming full circle. Elmikey is generally viewed as the greatest known recruitment innovator (with his methods still being used a decade after 2013), the greatest tournament leader with seven verifiable victories (in an era where tournaments weren’t as highly valued), and his other abilities such as his war charisma and strategizing (such as his utilization of branches to overwhelm enemies and buy him time to fight more long-term) also being key assets to his game. He brought a largely dormant RPF post-World War III into a comeback superpower (with undisputed dominance for early CPPS) that still reverberates to this date.

While the Army Republic played a major role in the community for a few years since its creation, 2013 was a peak for the Army Republic under Buritodaily, who was one-half of the “Vindaily” duo that brought the army to power. Under Burito, the AR spearheaded the White Alliance and won World War VI in early 2013. Throughout the year following this, the Army Republic reached new heights in the Top Ten and fought wars against the Army of Club Penguin and the Rebel Penguin Federation, among others. Burito,  along with Vinny, were the greatest leaders the Army Republic had ever seen, and brought them to new heights and prosperity under their multiple terms as Leader.

 

Classification: Major Leader

 

Vinny, the second member of “Vindaily”, was usually regarded as a more reserved leader of the two. However, he played equal contributions to the rise of the Army Republic and their peak in 2013. Under Vinny, the Army Republic spearheaded the White Alliance and defeated the Black Alliance in January of 2013, bringing an end to World War VI. After breaking ties with the ACP, the Army Republic became a major ally of the Nachos and fought against armies such as the Rebel Penguin Federation and the Army of Club Penguin throughout the year. Without Vinny and his partner Buritodaily, the Army Republic would never have seen the golden age it saw in 2013.

During his time in CP Armies, Funks was most noted for leading world power armies, the Water Vikings, Army of CP, and Ice Warriors. Other notable leaderships included leading armies such as Federation and Pretzels to major army status.

His final leadership in original CP Armies was in 2016, leading the Water Vikings to consistent first placements during the Summer and to the Legends Cup VII Final. His other notable achievements include being four-time CPA Central CEO – creating tournaments such as the Champions Cup and Christmas Chaos. His final two roles as CEO came in 2016 and 2017, as he was the final CEO when Club Penguin shut. His influence on CP Armies was evident on a yearly basis as Funks was the only person to be listed on every CPA Central ”Person of the Year List” from 2012 to 2016. During lockdown in 2020, Kingfunks4 returned to help unify the CPO and CPR sides of CP Armies, by assisting the merge of CPAM and CPAL, both of which he was CEO of at various points. Following this, he helped recreate the Water Vikings and led them to major status in one of the armies best generations, maxing 70 at his retirement event. He remained to be a vital member in WV behind the scenes, guiding them towards becoming a dominant and consistent CPPS army.
In retirement, he became the ‘legends committee manager’, in-charge of the process to induct new legends. He helped streamline the process, making it more organized than ever before. Lastly, he played a vital role in the formation of CPAHQ and helped bring stability to the league and the community.

Wyoskguy experienced his first taste of success way back in 2010 when his army Elite Marine’s ranked 7th in SMAC’s Top Ten and later maxing 20 however this achievement would be insignificant to what Wyo would go on to achieve in later years. One of his most notable armies was Team Blue, which he led  in 2013 and within the first month of bringing the dead army back from the grave, they became a prominent figure in SMAC’s Top Tens continuously placing in the top three. Wyoskguy also led Chaos in the summer of 2014, leading them to their biggest ever sizes and helping them to become a consistent medium army, even beating SWAT in a war.

While few Legends are listed for this year, much did take place in 2012. The Army of Club Penguin finally fell from their pinnacle at first during the Summer of this year, and the number one spot was finally up for grabs. The Nachos, Dark Warriors, Ice Warriors, and many other armies all had bids at first. SaW, one of the most notorious people in armies, returned to the Dark Warriors in 2012 and led them to World Power Status alongside xiUnknown. Pochoma123 reached the peak of his career during this year, leading the Ninjas to major and finishing runner-up in the Legends Cup that year; his graphics were also legendary. One of the most notable events in 2012 was the rising of the Pirates army under Waterkid100, who is most noted for being the catalyst of World War VI.

Pochoma123’s influence on army also spanned across many years. Majorly involved in both the Roman Fire Warriors and, following the name change, the Fire Warriors, Pochoma played a prominent role in their rise and status as a major army. In 2012, Pochoma123 was most-known for his army the Ninjas, which finished as runner-up in multiple CPAC Tournaments and contended with ACP for the number one spot on multiple occasions. He was the resident graphics designer of CPA Central for some time, helping to modernize the formerly impressive but messy and in-your-face graphics of previous eras. Outside of armies, Pochoma was well-known for cheats site and his graphics, which were regarded as some of the best in armies during the time.

SaW is one of the most notorious leaders of Club Penguin Army history, however SaW truly is a legend and one of the greatest leaders Club Penguin Armies has ever seen. He is credited with leading both SWAT and the Golds to the Top Three, and with leading countless Dark Warriors generations into the Top Five, including the most recent, which held first for a month straight. SaW is also known for his fantastic recruiting talents and his ability to rise an army to World Power status in a work or two. SaW will forever be remembered.

 

Classification: Major Leader

 

Often known as part of a dynamic-duo similar to the Night Warriors combination, xiUnknown led countless successful Dark Warriors generations alongside SaW, and is similar to his partner not only in leadership skills but also in notoriety. However, xiUnknown led many Dark Warriors generations into the Top Five, most notably during the Fall of 2012 when the army held the number one spot for many weeks, and has also had stunts in armies such as SWAT. The Dark Warriors thrived under xiUnknown due to his recruiting talents and his leadership skills, and he is one of the greatest leaders the army has ever seen.

Waterkid is known for leading the Pirates and Light Troops to commanding positions in CP Armies. He is most known for recreating the Pirates army and leading them, alongside others, to consistent top three spots in their peak. The Pirates, alongside the Black Alliance, spearheaded the one year long war against the Army of CP in 2012 and Waterkid was known as the leader of the alliance – in an attempt to end ACP’s domination. As a result, Waterkid was named the Person of the Year in 2012. He also is a famous leader of the Light Troops, leading alongside Waterkid and Roberto over many years during his career. The LT also experienced many periods of domination – in particular in the summer of 2014 where the LT were only 2nd to a dominant Dark Warriors. This stayed true throughout all of 2014, as the Light Troops were named one of the most powerful armies of 2014. In 2015, Waterkid revived the Light Troops and brought them to prominence once again, all the while revolutionizing recruiting through an extremely controversial method known as bot recruiting. While he is a very controversial figure, he has had a lasting impact with his leadership of the two armies.

Ganger90 joined Club Penguin Armies in August 2008, founding the Warriors of Club Penguin. After merging with Woton’s Military of Club Penguin to form the Military of Roman Warriors, Ganger would strike a deal with the Fire Warriors in April 2009 to merge them into a rebrand known as the Roman Fire Warriors. Not to be deterred afterwards, Ganger would become a leader in the rising Sun Troops which would be instrumental to the formation of Golden Troops. As its founder and leader, he would oversee the army be a perennial top 3 army and in August 2011 tip the Flen duo’s Army of Club Penguin out of first place (one of the few times during their long leadership). Ganger is most known for founding the modern iteration of the Special Weapons and Tactics. SWAT would regularly be a major army under his leadership as well as taking part in many major wars. Ganger would be a major figure in the Black Alliance in WWVI and its future iterations such as in 2014 against the Justice League. SWAT under him also regularly fought with the ACP—seeing a constant stream of wars in one of the biggest rivalries in army history (due to both armies’ claim to Mammoth). Ganger would return in 2020 to SWAT which saw the army see success in a highly competitive year including a major conflict with the Water Vikings and would be the only constant figure of SWAT in every generation since during its major success.

Bepboy9 is most known in the small and medium community for his dominant success in the Water Vikings. Before WV reached major standards, in their early generations, Bep was able to keep them at the top of the SMAC Top Ten and win numerous wars against fierce competitors. If not for Bepboy, WV may not have their known dominance in the small and medium community that they have today. Bepboy9 was also well known for being one of the most successful CEOs at SM Army Central at two different points, most notably when hard competition against SMAP came along as well as being Secondary Head at a once popular CPAE news site.

The year of 2011 saw the ACP’s place at number one challenged once again by their old rival the Nachos, as well as a new army: the Light Troops. On the ACP homefront, Mchappy fought against the Night Warriors as World War V came to a close, and Flipper7706/Kenneth100 sat in the leadership soon after — they both have one of the best track records together, of recent ACP Leaders. The Army Republic, created years before, finally rose to prominence under its creator 122344a — the Light Troops, as well, were created by Waterkid and resided in the Top Five, alongside fellow leader Roberto, while constantly speaking out against ACP and changing armies’ view of them. And under the leadership of Tanman626, the Nachos reached sizes of 75+, and won major victories against countless armies in their continuous fight for first. Also notable from the year, Ganger90 played a prominent role in the rise of both the Golden Troops and SWAT, along with Wgfv pulling UMA out of their long slump into another Golden Age. Also rising to prominence in 2011 was the Doritos who, under the guidance of their creator, Wwebestfan, were able to quickly establish themselves as a powerful presence.

Wgfv is considered by many as one of the greatest UMA pioneers, responsible for the appropriately-named Wgfv Era spanning from 2010 to 2011 in the Underground Mafias Army. During this time,  a third golden age came to the Underground Mafias Army and they reached maximum sizes of 50, remaining in the Top Ten for one of the longest spans in a long while. Wgfv pulled UMA out of its slump and introduced a Communist government to the army, also being the first to deal with army colonies; an idea which is a major part of our community today. Since his golden age in 2011, Wgfv has lead the army multiple other times in both 2012 and 2013, and will forever be remembered as a figurehead of UMA.

Daniel/Eyes521 is considered by many to be one of the greatest Underground Mafias Army pioneers, responsible for bringing up the Underground Mafias Army from nothing to something in the modern-day era. Daniel is the second longest-serving leader in the history of the Underground Mafias Army alongside Wgfv and Trickster. He reconstituted the state of the Underground Mafias Army on multiple occasions, most eminently his Summer 2013 leadership. Daniel is by far considered one of the greats along with Pink Mafias, Wgfv, and Trickster. Daniel has fought many wars with the Underground Mafias Army that have always seemed to surmount their enemy due to their sheer tenacity and remarkable vigour instilled within them by Daniel’s profound and articulate manner when it came to writing. Daniel fought against armies such as SWAT, DCP, RPF, and Light Troops, consistently stacking the odds against them and defeating them in a vast amount of wars. UMA during Daniel’s leadership is by far visually perceived as one of the most revered generations of the UMA since Wgfv’s independent era in 2010.

He created the Global Defenders, the army which he is most known for leading, in February 2011 originally under the name of Penguin Militia, however, their name soon changed due to it being blocked by CP’s filters. The GD started off as a rather small army, but eventually grew into the reason that Pungy is a legend today. Global Defenders were one of the most known medium armies at the time, and they even managed to reach the CPAC top ten on a few occasions. One thing that made the Global Defenders so unique was their complicated, but successful, government that proved small and medium armies really can be professional.

One of the major things the year of 2010 is regarded for was the rise of many armies, most notably the Night Warriors. Tomb147 and Vendetta, known as the “dynamic duo” of the Night Warriors, led the army to extremely successful sizes — and they prepared for war. After the creation of CPA Central in 2009, Sklooperis would become its acting Head of Site in 2010, where he would implement some of the most revolutionary things that CPA Central currently possesses, most notably the first official Top Ten formula. Sklooperis’ predecessor, Iasgae56, was also influential through his work as the leader of the Army of Club Penguin and through his work at CPA Central, where he was able to establish one of the most famous annual events in warfare — the Legends Cup.

Although Vendetta did not create the Night Warriors, he led them into the Top Ten and all the way to first. The ACP vs. Night Warriors war of 2011 was one of the most legendary conflicts in armies and was arguably the biggest one-on-one war we have seen to date. Vendetta kept the NW in the Top Three until he retired, with the army falling soon after he retired. Soldiers left and Vendetta returned too late to save the NW from falling. Being one half of the “Dynamic Duo” of the Night Warriors, he was in charge of recruiting troops into the NW.

The year of 2009 was both a year of record sizes and a year of innovation. The RPF and ACP battled it out for the title of the number one army, with Boomer20 reaching the largest sizes ever seen. However, all was not well on the ACP homefront, as Omega39, considered one of armies’ greatest political minds, began many rebellions against the army. During this point, Pringle64 — considered the first great graphics designer — worked together with Woton to found CP Army Central, the very site you are reading. Toward the Summer of 2009, Person1233 lead the Nachos to fantastic sizes which left him regarded as one of the greatest tacticians in army history.

Many would argue that 2008 began the Golden Ages of armies. Though having created the Ice Warriors the previous year, 2008 was where Iceyfeet1234 and his Ice Warriors began to achieve status as a major army. In the Watex Warriors, who were rising due to Watex’s blogging about armies, Dialga80 and Wii Mountain led the army to greatness during the Watex Wars. The Army of CP and the Nachos continued to rise under some of their greatest leaders, Shaboomboom and Shadow2446, respectively.

He will always be remembered for reasserting UMA’s influence in modern armies and holding his own against many of the great armies of the 2009 Golden Age.

Bottlefanta is the creator of the Ice Vikings, alongside Bobcatboy10. The army was created in 2008, and Bottlefanta helped lead them to great success. After the Ice Vikings died in 2009, Bottlefanta brought them back on his own in 2010 and led them to great heights, reaching the Top 5 in CPAC and at that time they were a major army. Even though they fell and died, Bottlefanta took a medium army, rose it to the top, didn’t give up when it fell, and for that, he made a name for himself.

A prominent army in 2008 and 2009, the Black Bandits got their start as a rogue group on Club Penguin, robbing the Pizza Parlor and running from the PSA (which is now known as EPF, the Club Penguin moderating task force). Since migrating to a WordPress site, Klimster played a major role in both the founding and rise of the army. The Black Bandits were heavily involved in the Tundra Wars against Rebel Penguin Federation, the Watex Warriors, and Fort Ghost Recon, fighting for control of Tundra on countless occasions. Eventually, as the Tundra Wars came to an end, the Black Bandits would die out.

Classification: Small/Medium Leader

Mr. Deedledoo founded the Club Penguin United Nations, one of the first Club Penguin Army-related organisations. During the large-army plan of Order 66, Mr. Deedledoo united small and medium armies using the CPUN and paved the way for the idea of uniting bodies and forums in the community. The allegiance would go on to act as the core middle ground, or alliance, of small and medium armies. Considered a sort of founder of the small and medium community, Deedledoo will be forever remembered for his work in uniting armies as we know it. He paved the way for sites like CPA Central while giving a voice to tonnes of small armies who did not have one. CPUN use to be active up until about a year or more ago, still having some people post on the website from time to time.

2007 was where armies truly began to take shape, and we saw Pink Mafias’s UMA take on Oagal’s ACP in what became known was World War III; Db Penguin’s CP Air Force became an early ally of ACP during this time. As the Romans fizzled out, new armies came to power, such as the Dark Warriors, created by Ambrosha. Elitesof, evolving from his role in the Color Wars, founded both Fort Ghost Recon and the Elites. CollinZFresh, considered one of armies’ greatest political minds, brought the People’s Republic Army to power. Watex, an essential CP Blogger, brought an extreme amount of recruits to armies by featuring us on site. During this time, Gu Gu Pengu also became known as Club Penguin warfare’s first real antagonist as the figurehead of the first fully UK army, the Gugu Pengu Romans. Finally, Commando717 rebelled from the UMA to create the Rebel Penguin Federation, which would go on to become a superpower, and Zippy500 led the Nachos to power with his no-quit attitude, following on from Tom Wolf’s creation of the modern day Nachos.

Commando717 created and led the RPF through the biggest rebellion in army history. In RPF’s Golden Age under Commando, they were one of two major superpowers, alongside ACP. Commando is forever remembered as not only one of the most brilliant leaders and politicians of armies, but also as the face of the Rebel Penguin Federation. What began as a small rebellion inside the Underground Mafias Army spawned into one of the most politically smart and legendary armies this community his seen, and Commando, as RPF’s founder and figurehead, is forever remembered for that.

Known as the creator of the modern day Nachos, Tom Wolf established the Nachos’ first website in February of 2007, officially establishing them as a formal army. He held high positions in the Nachos’ rogue days until he took over as leader following the retirement of Jamesbond1. He established the Nachos’ reputation as a legitimate army, as well as leading them through WWII and WWIII. He retired in August of 2007, handing over the reins to Zippy500, but his impact would be felt for many years to come.

Db Penguin was the first significant female in a Club Penguin army. She created the Club Penguin Air Force (CPAF) in February 2007 and it grew into a solid medium army. When ACP found itself facing off against the massive UMA army led by Pink Mafias in May 2007, Db Penguin and CPAF was the first to ACP’s aid. Together with ACP and RPF, she helped take down UMA in WWIII, arguably the most important war in Club Penguin army history. Db Penguin continued to lead CPAF until it merged to create the United Penguin Army (UPA), where she was elected Leader in a landslide and helped them achieve Top Ten status. Without her and CPAF, it is quite possible that UMA would have defeated both ACP and RPF and completely changed the landscape of armies as we know them today.

CollinZfresh was the founder of the People’s Republic Army (PRA) in October 2007. Known as one of the greatest minds in Club Penguin Armies at the time, he led PRA to near-major army status while operating one of the most complex and well-organized governments in history. Referred to by Oagalthorp as a “military mastermind” and a genius of army philosophy, CollinZ’s ideas benefited a wide range of other legends, including Oagalthorp, Mr. Deedledoo, and Boomer 20.

Watex, owner of one of the most popular Club Penguin cheats websites of all time, created the army the Watex Warriors using his personal power as a blogger and fans from his site. Not only did this bring hundreds of new recruits to Club Penguin Armies and create a series of excellent wars, but it demonstrated the idea that Club Penguin armies and other websites, such as cheat sites and forums, can be intertwined. The idea that recruits could enter Club Penguin Armies from cheat sites brought new hope for the size this community could reach. This idea later influenced much expansion among Club Penguin Armies.

Zippy took over the Nachos following the retirement of Tom Wolf in 2007. He was one of the greatest Nacho Leaders to date, leading the army through both World War II and World War III, taking major victories home for his army. One of Zippy’s most famous qualities was that he did not take crap from anyone, even when other armies attempted to put the Nachos on the backburner during major World Wars. Because of this, Zippy500 transformed the Nachos from a sort of “club” into a competitor for the number one spot.

Ambrosha founded the Dark Warriors, an army who frequented the Top Five throughout many years following their creation. Outside of the Dark Warriors, which he both founded and led to success, Ambrosha had careers in the Warriors Army — an army created from a super merge between the Ice Warriors, Dark Warriors, Fire Warriors, and Aqua Warriors — along with the Golds. In all of four of these armies, Ambrosha was a major player, but will forever be remembered as the founder and leader of the Dark Warriors, who still live on today.

Gu Gu Pengu was one of Club Penguin Armies’ first major antagonists. He created Gugu Pengu’s Romans (GPR) in May 2007, making them the first significant UK army in history. Early in their history, they were in frequent conflict with the Vikings, who they defeated in a prolonged war. After they showed intense aggression toward ACP and American armies in general, Oagalthorp declared war on GPR in late September 2007, rallying the majority of the major armies against the controversial army. During the war, GPR nearly matched ACP soldier-for-soldier before being eventually overwhelmed and defeated. Gu Gu Pengu retired shortly after the war, and GPR continued to live on, though never with anywhere near the same level of success as it had under its creator.

Blueswill joined armies in late 2006, starting like many people back then, in the Army of Club Penguin. Blueswill himself was a natural born leader, and instead of staying in the ACP, he left in early 2007 to create the CP Clones, which would turn out to be one of the longest lasting medium armies to come out of that time period. Blueswill took the CP Clones and rose them to a decent size and always kept them at medium power throughout most of their history and as more leaders came and went, he stayed. CP Clones ended up landing CPAC Top 10 sizes from time to time with Blueswill by their side and he didn’t officially retire from armies until the summer of 2011 after CP Clone’s largest size where they maxed over 35. Throughout his time, Blueswill was in 3 armies, ACP to start, CP Clones for life, and a brief stint as AR leader.

2006 was the founding year. Oagalthorp began the Army of CP on the Miniclip Forums, which many believe was the first real Club Penguin Army. As the year went on, others took inspiration from Oagal’s idea, the most famous of which was Explorer7777, who created the Romans. Pink Mafias helped create modern armies with the creation of the legendary UMA and the beginnings of exponential growth in the early World Powers. In 2006, armies fought mainly as rouges but in some organized battles on Club Penguin.

Pink Mafias is the founder and leader of the legendary Underground Mafias Army. He revolutionized the way armies were run. An icon in the army world in his time, he had the image of a mafia leader. Pink Mafias’s UMA was the first real enemy to Oagalthorp’s ACP, and many legendary battles happened between the two armies. ACP originally went to war with UMA over their hacking of Club Penguin, and the two faced off as two of the first titans of armies. One of the most notable conflicts was the World War III conflict between the two armies, spawning one of the first rivalries in this community. Pink Mafias’s UMA was the first major enemy of ACP, and the conflict between he and Oagalthorp is legendary.

Explorer7777 was the creator of the Romans, one of the three major superpowers of 2006 alongside ACP and UMA. Explorer created the army in the Miniclip Forums and fought countless skirmishes during their founding. He was also a catalyst of World War II with ACP, where Romans were a massive army until ACP defeated them, and Explorer dissapeared. During his time in armies, he created a group which, while dead today, greatly influenced this community during its original founding, and for that he will be remembered.

Sf1998 created the Club Penguin Marines (CPM) in the Fall of 2006 after having been inspired by the creation of ACP by Oagalthorp on the Miniclip Forums. As a brother ally of ACP, CPM quickly became arguably the 3rd largest army of the Forum era. According to Oagalthorp, “The CPM soon grew as big as the ACP, not within the Forums, but rather on a WordPress site”, making them one of the first armies ever to use WordPress. Sf1998 allied with the early leadership of the Nachos and set up an alliance between them and ACP, helping to establish the Nachos as the army we know today. Though CPM died out in early 2007, it had a significant impact on the landscape of early Club Penguin Armies.

Oagalthorp created the Army of Club Penguin, one of the very first official armies. He also modernized tactics, and is known as one of the greatest leaders of warfare. His army, ACP, helped paved the way for army history, and was one of the center armies of all World Wars. Oagalthorp is commonly known as the father of Club Penguin Armies and he is known throughout the community. He will be forever immortalized as an essential figure to the founding of this community. Without his ideas on the Miniclip Forums in 2006, it is safe to say that armies as we know it would not exist today.

Icy Fresh 2 is the original founder of the Club Penguin Army which was created only three days after the creation of the Army of Club Penguin. Icy Fresh 2 also led the revolution of armies using WordPress as he was the first to ever use the web hosting site. Icy also enjoyed success as a Club Penguin cheats blogger and while his army didn’t necessarily survive as long as he had hoped under his leadership, it did certainly have a significant early impact on the community and the army continued on without him for years leaving a legacy behind it.
