Note: SWAT had acquired a max of 8 at one point. However, we were dependent on Club Penguin Army Judges (CPAJ) for the size information. Therefore, we did not take a size picture. Unfortunately, CPAJ did not identify SWAT getting the size of 8 for the very short period of time. CPAJ has verified a max of 7. SWAT could not manage to take an event picture of 7, either. Thus, a picture of 6 is shown in this article. Please consider the max of 7 or 8, as appropriate.
In conclusion, the week portrayed us rising, and shall wish our future endeavors!
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) had an outperforming week! With new troops standing together on the battlefield, we trained fiercely to prove our valiance.

Concluding February 2024
February 2024 was themed on a mountainous adventure in regard to Sensei. The month belonged to Season 2: Near North. As the month commenced, the Club Penguin Armies (CPA) army league organization pointed out a multilogging event committed by SWAT Fifth-in-Command DorukHolmes as spotlight discovery.
The early period of the month was not quite eventful. However, SWAT saw practice battles against the Dark Vikings. In the midst of the month, the Division Command elections began. Around this time, several new members were enlisted, mostly members with rich experience with Club Penguin armies in the past. SWAT on Fandom gained more activity, and started out by creating templates and writing more articles.
In the latter of the month, the SWAT Corporation started working on several initiatives, including the Constituent Assembly and Staff Weekly Schedules. The winners of the Division Command elections, too, were decided, and were promoted to their acquired positions. Around this time, the Corporation started creating plans for the month of March, and worked over the Organizational Plans 2024.
Concluding Season 3: Near North
Season 3: Near North found Zooy triumphant, being the first to complete all missions! Congratulations, Zooy! Well done to other participants.
Introducing Season 4
As doors to Season 3 conclude. The community welcomes Season 4 as its theme was highly anticipating. The month’s theme is quite intriguing.
Introducing Season 4! For the month of March 2024, SWAT experiences The Avalanche as the continuation of the story. Till now, SWAT has composed a well-written and well-constructed story.
The Constitution of SWAT will be reformed entirely. A constituent assembly was set up in February 2024, so as to promote inclusiveness among our senior troops. Channels have been set up in the Corporation to permit discussion and debate in lieu of any article or section presented. This makes the power of the Constitution more decentralized, fair, and its content well thought.
The existing version of the constitution will still operate, until the newer one is implemented.
The SWAT Corporation Examination
The Corporation will no longer hand out promotions to members under the Staff-in-Training rank, without having the Corporation’s examination completed. The examination requires you to profile about yourself so the Corporation can identify you. And, it also asks several questions. It should ideally take around 5 minutes to complete. The examination is quite simple, and scores are assigned as soon as you complete the examination.
The SWAT Corporation Veteran Unit
The Corporation has implemented a veteran unit. This is a prestigious unit that connects with veterans of the army, and sends invitations to its veterans for massive events. The idea was thought of in lieu of SWAT’s 15th Anniversary. For this milestone, we want to include as many troops as possible, with past troops included. SWAT’s 15th Anniversary event is on Sunday, 7th July 2024. The event timings will be voted upon, and will be kept in the EU event timezone division.
Introducing SWAT Badges
Extending the hand of love of reward and gratitude, the Corporation has introduced SWAT Badges that SWAT troops may claim! Earning these badges require merit and effort. And, we have faith that every troop will get the badge they desire!
Division Tournament: Radiant Rivalry
Lately, it has been anticipated within the SWAT community that a division tournament is coming up very soon. In response to this, the Corporation has decided to set up SWAT’s first modern division tournament. This tournament has been entitled Radiant Rivalry.

Date and Time

Please note that a major tournament, March Madness IX, will also occur this month. In lieu of this, we may change dates and times accordingly.
Major SWAT Bot Updates
During the month of February 2024, bot developer SWAT Commander-in-Chief Fun X Time reworked and repaired many features of the bot, and added new ones. In addition to this, the Corporation also hired two helpers who engage in the development and production of the bot. These two helpers are SWAT Second-in-Command Zooy and SWAT Sergeant Commando DorukHolmes. Updates introduced or to be introduced this month are highlighted below.
Improvement of Interactions: Interactions such as clicking a button or submitting a modal form in Discord are now faster. Earlier, the bot used to find which interaction one uses from a list of interactions, and continues only after it has checked every interaction. Now, the bot stops iterating the list of interactions once it finds what it needs.
Speedy Actions: Using a command will not slow the bot down. It executes lesser triggers. This is because we have merged several commands into one internal trigger. Commands remain visibly unaffected.
Repaired DM Reminders: DM reminders sent from the bot have been fixed. They also have been updated to the latest event information provision standards.
Repaired Certan Critical Event Issues: Certain issues caused by the SWAT Bot during events has been fixed. However, we may still be having certain issues. Please do not forget to contact us in regard to those!
Added Commands: Several commands have been added to the bot, and are listed below.
staffQuests: A command to see quests for members of the Staff-in-Training rank to get promoted.
topic or tpic: Fetches a randomized topic to converse on, some of which are related to SWAT.
cpitem or ai: Fetches information on a Club Penguin (CP) or Club Penguin Army Battleground (CPAB) item through certain item databases.
gameserver or gs: Fetches or sets the in-game server for a Club Penguin event.
cpab: Sends the link to Club Penguin Army Battleground in chat beautifully.
badges: Shows badges you have acquired.
guide: Creates an interactive guide or walk-through for enlisted members.
vote: Sends links to various Discord server lists where one can vote for SWAT’s Discord server.
rform: Prompts a random form to invoke.
promocode: Claim a promotional code you have found.
Added Non-mentioning Flag: Append --noping to a command to avoid mentioning or pinging event attendees when invoking event-related prompts.

An upcoming census will be conducted soon, where we will try to reach as many troops as possible. The census will primarily cover:
Event Timings, Frequency, and Days
Common Concerns
Prioritization
Feedback Collection for SWAT’s Website
Feedback Collection for SWAT Bot
The census is anticipated to occur around 15th March 2024.

The great community of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) presents you with the third edition of Club Penguin stories. This post unravels the story of a tragic blackout caused by an opposition who had returned.
Please note that this is a story inspired from Club Penguin. It is not the actual story. It may contain scenes from Club Penguin, and may be rephrased or reordered.
Sensei is an ordinary penguin. He felt quite lonely in Town. He left for the mountains. The mountains were located near the northern mountains of Club Penguin Island. He met Tusk, and thereafter used to spend a lot of time with his new friend. They used to play snow fights together.
One day, when Tusk made a snow penguin, Sensei made a snow statue of the future dojo. Tusk seemed bitter at this, sensing Sensei would later become more involved in it and that Sensei was better at this than he. He became jealous and angry. Sensei and Tusk trained to master the elements together. They dreamed of standing side by side, leading and training future ninja penguins. He and Sensei were friends, but their relationship had a competitive side. Tusk could not master the delicate moves of Sensei. They chose to have a battle on a snowy cliff. Tusk instigated it by throwing a snowball at Sensei, who threw Tusk against a wall with snow. Tusk used his power to create an enormous snowball, displaying his true power over snow. He threw it at Sensei, but once it hit him, Sensei used the power in the ball and threw it back. The force of Tusk hitting the wall caused an avalanche, in which Tusk was buried and trapped in a cave in the side of the mountain. Sensei looked for him, but found only a piece of his tusk. He departed sadly, and vowed to teach Card-Jitsu to penguins so they could use the elements wisely. Tusk presumed Sensei had left not caring for him, and turned bitter. He sadly sat buried in the snow, then began to dig himself out.
Learning from this tragic incident, Sensei set off to open the Dojo. He found and settled at a perfect location on the Mountain. As he looked at the beautiful landscape from the Mountain, he saw the entire island from a great height. He also enjoyed the northern lights, or auroras. He completed the task anonymously. He hid himself there, and mastered the elements. Soon, the Great Storm of 2008 hit the island. In response to the storm, Sensei dug out the Dojo. Several penguins joined in the task and assisted Sensei, although none was aware of his identity.
Meanwhile, on the island, chaos riddled as the storm ascended to several regions. EPF calls SWAT to resolve several tragedies that have occurred on the island due to the storm. “We need to dig out some penguins from the mountain,” said the Director, “We need to put water on fire that has lit across several locations on the island.” The agents agreed to fulfill this responsibility carefully. The Director sends several EPF agents, as well. The agents put water on fire, and fire on snow. Sensei was greatly educated from this news.
Sensei ought to dig out the Dojo, and allows penguins to be trained. He helps the penguins master the elements. During the reconstruction of the Dojo, none was aware of his identity. They continue to help this stranger. He has made new friends. Sensei portrays his experience and claims that he has had a long journey near north!

The great community of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) presents you the second edition of Club Penguin stories. This post unravels the story of a tragic blackout caused by an opposition who had returned.
Please note that this is a story inspired from Club Penguin. It is not the actual story. It may contain scenes from Club Penguin, and may be rephrased or reordered.
It is the first dawn of the month of January 2024 and the year 2024 itself! Snow is everywhere. It is not as cold as it was under Herbert‘s tyranny of Club Penguin Island, though!
“My lamp,” exclaimed Aunt Arctic aloud. Filled with hysteria, Aunt Arctic immediately reports another case to the EPF. At the Book Room, there is one beautiful lamp that provides Aunt Arctic the luminescence she needs to author creative newspapers and other literary works. Without it, Aunt Arctic feels like she is lone in the room. The lamp is a great companion to her, and holds history. Every festival has experienced the lamp taking up roles in most scenes. The lamp has met puffles, the lamp has climbed mountains together, the lamp has been lit on most holidays, and the lamp has been a support to many literary works.
While Aunt Arctic takes the last bite of pizza she wanted to eat in peace, EPF and SWAT agents received the call on the Spy Phone. They immediately reached to the Book Room. The Book Room is a very prestigious room, unlike many others all over Club Penguin Island. It has been the source of mischief, text, research, leadership, relationship and love. Aunt Arctic proceeds to describe the lamp’s appearance to the agents. “The lamp is golden, and almost cylindrical. You have partook in many festivals, and I anticipate that you are aware of its appearance.”
Rookie questions, “Did you see anything else other than pizzas today?” Aunt Arctic mentions that she has seen footprints of a polar bear. Quickly, the EPF agents sense the culprit. Jet Pack Guy proceeds, “Are you thinking what I am thinking?”
The footprints descend to the outskirts of Club Penguin Island. As the agents walk along the trail, they make up a tale behind this mystery. At the end of the trail, they realize they have reached the Ski Hill. The trail stopped at an the cliff of Ski Hill. The agents say that the culprit used a sled to climb off the hill. They continue to descend the hill, till they find a spot where they may find further clues, whilst Aunt Arctic feels fascinated by their work.
“A box of hot sauce,” exclaimed Rookie, “Does the culprit feel too cold on an Island with not-so-cold climate?” Indeed, the fact presented by Rookie is quite amusing. It is a good question, however. The agents find more clues and align the odds. According to their findings, it appears that a box of sauce was used for warmth, along with wood and sticks to lit up a fire. These were not found under a tree, indicating that the person did not wish to stay under shelter, but rather wanted to take rest under sunlight. The agents consider that the culprit may arrive at this spot in a while, for none would leave such resources in cold weather.
Herbert appears in the scene. He is far away, on the other side of a lake. Rookie enjoys the landscape and asserts, “That character with a lamp looks heroic in winter! Does not the Sun oppose the luminescence?” The agents did not understand Rookie‘s unnecessary comment. However, it caused a crucial twist in the mystery. Aunt Arctic questions, “Wait, is it the culprit with my lamp?” Herbert does not need hot sauce and campfire when a lamp can do the trick! The lamp is phenomenal, and can give a lot of heat. It appears that Herbert has found the lamp’s utility, after criticizing and exposing the uselessness of all of Aunt Arctic‘s possessions.
Herbert escapes the scene in haste and hysteria, dropping the lamp, and momentarily raced away. The Director commends the agents for their cooperation, “The luminescence returns!”
