Interview with Ganger90

Greetings, agents!

To help serve the 15th Anniversary Week of SWAT to your satisfaction, today we bring to you some special content. We came in touch with the army’s creator Ganger90 to learn more about the army’s foundation and his views on it.

This is a daily drop.

What motivated you to open the Special Weapons and Tactics Army back in 2009?

“What motivated me to create this great army was the close friendship and brotherhood the original rogues of Mammoth had established before even being an organized army. I wanted to bring that same group together to challenge and beat the best of CPA, which they went onto do time and time again. My vision has always been for the army to live long beyond my leadership and be a beacon of opportunity for the rising new generations of CPA”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Do you see yourself leading the army once again in the foreseeable future?

“I do feel that I have done all that I can for SWAT as a Leader throughout time and I don’t see myself coming back to lead again however you will always wish you had done more under your leadership, that’s why I hope to influence the next generation to make the best of it while they can and give it all they got. Don’t get it twisted, I have always been and always will be there for SWAT in the future but as far as leading I don’t see myself coming back to be the leader I once was, it’s not realistic unfortunately at this point in life”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

How are you feeling during SWAT’s 15th Anniversary Week?

“For the 15th anniversary week it has me feeling very nostalgic, it’s crazy to think that all this started so long ago and yet still a community that stays true to tradition and the virtues of SWAT is still alive to this day. I am thankful and happy that the community has become a home to so many great people over the years.”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Which memories from the army were your favorite?

“For me personally, you know that my history goes wayyy back with this army. I like to reminisce back to when we became an official army and upset ACP in the Semi Finals, the many wars we went onto fight against each other. From more recent times, SWAT retaining the number 1 position with new leaders and maxing 40+ once again after a 7 year hiatus from #1. The new troops that we have introduced to the community in the discord era and gone on to run the army, become great leaders and vital parts of the army is something I always hold close to the heart as well”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

What is your message to the community?

“My message to the community would be to stay true to yourself, never stop believing in yourself and the army that you come from. Don’t run with the circus, they all get made clowns when the lights are bright enough. Have fun with CPA while you can, there will be a time when your journey will be over, but your army’s journey can go far past yours and that is the ultimate goal. Loyalty always outvalues everything and it’s what makes a real army, a real brotherhood. Anything else is artificial and will prove itself over time. You can accomplish anything in life, put your mind to it focus and work hard. SWAT Forever!”

Ganger90
SWAT Creator

Looking at Ganger90’s responses, it appears with clarity that he is confident of a brighter future for the army. With his powerful wisdom, we are powered with advice from one who has been in the army since the dawn of its time. Thank you, Ganger90, for responding to the interview.

Happy 15th Anniversary, SWAT!

✪】 Attention agents this is not a drill

Listen to the above audio to get the full post experience.

As of May 22, 2023, the Sapphire Concordat – consisting of the Special Weapons and Tactics alongside our Brother Allies, the People’s Imperial Confederation – hereby declares a state of WAR on the Dark Vikings.

SWAT has been very openly against the dim-witted Dark Vikings for a long period of time now. In 2022 the Dark Vikings relied on their allies to boost them through a war with SWAT, as they were desperate for any semblance of relevance. They attempted to name servers very inhumane and offensive things, as well as engaging in a plethora of other controversial behaviors. To cite a few, the Dark Vikings have notably harbored doxxers in their leadership, partook in underhanded tactics, and stroked their egos off of their “success.” This ends now. Originally, this would have spawned a war in early February but in a feat of cowardice, the Dork Vikings removed themselves from the CPA Map. This forced us to go against the Rebel Penguin Federation as they were the only other army SWAT was not in a treaty with that was present on the map.

Since their departure from the CPA Map in February, the Dark Vikings have refused to return, and have continued their egregious behaviors. In recent days they have now turned their sights against our Brother Ally, the unwavering People’s Imperial Confederation. Despite losing to the PIC in the AUSIA Arena tournament, Dark Vikings leader and local numbskull Krosive started relentlessly insulting our longtime allies and my personal friends. The Dark Vikings have shown that they are incapable of accepting defeat, as they delusionally claim victory following their constant failures. Dark Vikings have consistently shown their lack of maturity, and their inflated egos are far larger than their maxes will ever be. This war will henceforth be known as the Bloodbath Barrage.

Bloodbath Barrage Terms

I. Both allies and dual-enlists are allowed.
II. If any army, other than PIC, SWAT, and DV, decides to join the war on either side, they will have to follow the same set of terms.
III. All war battles must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance with CPAJ, failure to do so will invalidate the scheduling. Leaders of the opposing army must be notified in CPAJ.
IV. No doxxing, ddosing, botting, discord server raiding, harassment, multilogging, or cheating of any form.
V. A withdrawal from this conflict for any reason and in any shape or form (e.g., withdrawing from the war, ghosting battles up to 3 battles in a row, etc.) will constitute a forfeit of the war.
VI. All CPA Battleground rules apply to each battle.
VII. Each army may only schedule one battle for each timezone per day (EX only one EU invasion can be held per day by one army etc)
VIII. The losing army in this conflict must accept the treaty terms provided by the winning army

(Due to the Dark Vikings holding no servers SWAT and PIC have taken the liberty of naming their servers)

2,695 Days – SWAT #1.

loading… [24%] loading… [89%] loading… [100% mission loaded]

✪】Incoming transmission from [LEGOMAN]

The Special Weapons and Tactics army recently had an extraordinarily eventful week which culminated in us hosting a whopping 12 war battles and rising to #1 on the Club Penguin Armies Top Ten for the first time since November 15, 2015. Using my trusty Bing browser, I determined that it had been 7 years, 4 months, and 18 days since our previous placement in first. 385 weeks of faith, 2,695 days of hard work, 64,680 hours of recruiting, and 232,848,000 seconds of loyalty outvaluing everything has made this possible.

Read more: 2,695 Days – SWAT #1.

This is an extremely eventful occasion for the army, so to celebrate it I have reached out to past and present members and compiled their statements regarding this achievement. We were able to obtain statements from FIVE godfathers, as well as numerous veterans and current rising stars within SWAT. If you would like to have yourself added to this list, please contact @Lego#0200 and I will update this post to include your testimony!


“We’re gonna win so much we will be tired of winning The troops will say please stop it’s too much winning”

Silverburg, SWAT Commander-In-Chief + CPA Legend

“swat getting number 1 to me is a goal i dreamed of for so long i always wanted swat to rise to the top now swat is number 1 it amaizng”

Clade69 Top C,” SWAT Staff-In-Training

“SWAT based”

Cabin0416, SWAT Advisor

“is alright…jk congratulations guys! you deserve it, hardest working SWAT leaders i’ve ever seen [REDACTED] WAS the problem”

Sweater, SWAT Veteran + Advisor

“Damn it means a really means a lot to me that swat got to #1 after 8 years like so many years of selling bath water,cg giving out goodnight kisses,Aisha promoting racism and me bullying new agents so emotional 💀”

CrackdArjun, SWAT Staff

“I would say that swat being number one doesn’t mean we are the best army, but it means we are getting closer to the goal of the best. But if we also wish to keep the number one spot, it would probably help us in the goal of being the best.”

Boba Fart, SWAT Staff

“I think it’s a nice change of pace for swat. They have a big reputation of having their reputation dragged for a whole slew of things and typically is looked at with contempt. Something like this is amazing I think and hopefully going forward swat has more to show to change the public perception of the army. I’m proud of the people who made it happen and think the army is going in a good direction.”

S Cargo2, SWAT Godfather + Legend

“it’s really cool to see SWAT overcome their adversity and make it to number 1 again, I know the leaders have worked really hard to create an environment that motivates troops and promotes fun within the army as well as hard work”

Aubzxo, SWAT Veteran + Advisor +Zendaya

“Duckkkk yeah what a time to be alive”

Lights717, SWAT Godfather + Legend

“NAH NO WAY SAY ONG TOP 10 SWAT W…As a staff on SWAT and being in the top 10 means a lot to me. Even tho I joined in 2022, it means a lot because I have met new people and made new friends while on my journey to become staff and a future leader. Glory to SWAT rulers-Akio”

Akio, SWAT Staff + YouTuber

“swat getting #1 is something thats so special to a lot of us who have dedicated so much time. i am so proud of all of us who put countless hours into club penguin, and even though some of us may be failing in school (me, miserably), this shows us how much hard work actually pays off and the result of a strong team that swat clearly has <3 maybe 50 minute ausia events arent that bad after all”

Sabre, SWAT HCOM + Pronoun Police

“SWAT was a home for me during one of my darkest days in the start of COVID. This army was my home and my place to have friends and still is. We’ve been through a lot these past years. For me every member as their own story and they make their own part of SWAT’s history. Seeing as SWAT is on the top of the leaderboard it brings me hope for the future of the army. Everybody knows that I’m not active in the server anymore but it doesn’t mean that SWAT doesn’t have a special place in my heart , it will always be there. Just that I’ve moved on from Club Penguin. It brings me joy and nostalgia to see a very close community of mine fighting their way to be the very best. It means that everyone has dedication and I still can’t thank the army enough for helping me and every member of the community. Neither to say SWAT is the best army and will always be , it’s thanks to the amazing community and hardworking individuals. SWAT FOREVER.”

Hiroyuki, SWAT Veteran

“To me SWAT being #1 makes me feel happy and proud to be a part of a good community and family”

Mickey Mouse, SWAT Devoted Troop

“It certainly feels good! I’m pretty new in SWAT so i cant say that i feel a huge emotional attachment yet to the army [despite my undying devotion to LEGOMAN]. However, it is a testament to the hard work that everyone has put in to achieve this goal!”

Stevie101, SWAT Advisor + Karaoke Master

“Well, it feels like a dream, its like every week we are #2. Now that we are #1, We will have #1 Land. Since we are #1, I expect alot more from SWAT.”

Ggogle090, SWAT Staff

“It was an amazing achievement and an amazing way to end my journey in SWAT.”

Coolguy, SWAT Legend + ACP 2ic

“I feel that SWATRulers now being top 1, Is a amazing accomplishment for the entire cpa battleground army! The amazing leaders that push us to being our greatest in these battles/ cpa wars are amazing leaders those being Lego and Coolguy! I feel being a part of this #1 growing army in club penguin is an amazing honor! We can now show the others who is really on top of the game LET’S GO SWAT RARARARARARARARARARAR”

Dusk & Evening, SWAT Devoted Troop

“For me getting #1 means that we have come far as an army and recovered from losses like the one of CPR. Coming this far as an army and being in said army during it is such an honour, I remember joining in 2021 during march madness there were also recruiters from HF trying to recruit me but i joined SWAT and here we are today now that is one small step for a man one giant leap for a crackteam of penguins thank you for your time yours sincerely WilliamW2010”

WilliamW2010, SWAT Staff

“It feels like such a satisfying moment for SWAT, it’s just amazing to come back to SWAT and see it thrive after so long. SWAT is one of the longest standing armies, and we aren’t just surviving army; We are a thriving army. It’s beautiful and amazing; I hope SWAT continues to thrive.”

Zooycuddle, SWAT Staff

“I think that shit is badass seeing SWAT up and running still taking over the boards. Watched this army grow for 11 years, so to see them still alive to this day is awesome. Especially seeing there’s a lot of the same family/legends from back in the day. Wouldn’t have chose any other CPA 💪🏽 SWAT forever 😎”

Domsamillion, SWAT Godfather + Legend

“I enlisted in SWAT thanks to Pandor, and one of my objectives was to assist SWAT in becoming #1 on the TT. Although I am not necessarily enlisted, I have witnessed the effort that all of the SWAT members, HCOM, Advisors and Leaders, and of course Ganger90, put forth. I’d also like to thank POM for starting this war. As always, SWAT has not allowed our enemies to win easily and has consistently fought back, as evidenced by the war’s scoring. We appreciate everyone who came out to the events that enabled us to accomplish this; each of you matters and made it possible. Thank you SWAT…I kissed him💀oops”

AishaJabz, SWAT Egirl + Satchmo’s Ex

“Though I wasn’t in the CP Armies circuit long enough to become super familiar with this top 10 competition or how it works, the name makes its significance pretty clear. When I left SWAT and CP Armies for my still ongoing hiatus, the army was having some pretty notable numbers issues. I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t have a whole lot of faith in SWAT at that time, but I’m glad to say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised. SWAT was always conceptually one of the greatest armies in the league, and it’s good to see them living up to their reputation. Keep up the good work, troops!”

WTZTBlaze, SWAT Veteran

“For me it’s the greatest achievement for SWAT bc since 2015 it was pretty difficult I guess to reach #1 and since I joined SWAT It’s the best feeling we can experience”

Seu11, SWAT Veteran + HCOM

“GRRRRRRR – (translates to: ‘UwU I love SWAT and l-legoman x3 meow’)”

Mare, SWAT Veteran + Furry

“🥺Uhhhhhhhhhhh Took you long enough…Proud of you”

Stare3000, SWAT Godfather + Legend

“When I was indicted as SWAT Commander at 16 years of age, I had a strong determination to see SWAT succeed and flourish. It has been a bumpy road but just over two years following my original induction into leadership we have accomplished this covered honor within the community. SWAT could not have done this without every single staff, troop, HCOM or advisor. This is not the success of one individual person, it is the culmination of the team’s phenomenal efforts to bring glory to our legendary army. This placement will mark a new era within SWAT, and if we continue to put in the effort we will reap the rewards. Shoutout to Ganger90 and Stare3000. We rise together, we fall together. SWAT Forever.”

Legoman, SWAT Greatest Leader + Legend

“I think that SWAT getting number 1 is something that has certainly been a long time coming for everyone here. As Club Penguin Armies have evolved and changed over time, I am so proud to see the continuous greatness that this army displays to the community no matter what’s going on, the legacy that it upholds and solidifies while creating their own. Of course there’s been countless moments where while we were not ranked #1, we knew and felt that SWAT was the strongest army. The new era that is being built here everyday is full of limitless potential, from the Staff, HCOM, Staff in Trainings, Advisors, new troops, and future leaders. We know how much work you all put in and how much you care about SWAT. And of course we cannot forget all our great legends and veterans of this army. I’d be understating to say that the sky is the limit, and words cannot describe how proud I am of all of you carrying this army back up to #1. @Lego uwu”

Ganger90, SWAT Creator + Godfather + CPA Legend

All these testimonies show the phenomenal impact that our army and community have had throughout the decades. SWAT had outlived, outfought, outperformed, and outlasted all expectations. People have tried to bring us down but we have never let the negativity keep us grounded. SWAT does not intend to go anywhere. Myself and Ganger90 have the honor of being the first individuals to lead SWAT to #1 in the CPPS era, and none of that is possible without our terrific troops, stupendous staff, hard-working high command, and ambitious advisors. As your Commanders-In-Chief, we shall do everything in our power to ensure the continued success of this unconquerable army.

Major developments are on the horizon.

On the 26th of March, SWAT had their 4th battle of the war against The Penguins Of Madagascar, defending Cream Soda. SWAT had only 16 troops on that morning.

Sadly, I dont have any pictures for either the first and second room, which we both lost in either way. Our only room won was the third room. Thankfully I do have some pictures here.

As you can see, we clearly demolished the third room with our Big Word Bubbles. I was not here for this one but to those who were, thank you for participating.

Coolguy’s Retirement – The Reign Comes To An End

Press play to hear my athem


Disclaimer, this was a work in progress for a while so whatever the reason for me retiring from SWAT may be, even if it may not be a retirement, I do have the same message, nothing changes.


Hello SWAT, as you can probably tell from the title, I will be retiring from SWAT. As for armies well, I will not say that if the right opportunity occurred that I would not consider it as we are all human and I do not like saying things and then going against them later on and this may be in 2 months or 2 years or even 2 days or minutes and if I do know then I probably feel like it’s best not to be mentioned LOL so who knows. What I do know is that while there are few things in life that you cannot be sure of there is one thing I am sure of. SWAT has been a home to me since I joined back into this new generation and I will not forget it. I know we’ve had…and I, personally, have had some tough times in SWAT but I won’t say when or why exactly because it is in the past and we all move on from the past. However, I hope none of you forgets me despite me being in the past as I aimed to make a difference for each troop and while I am not delusional enough to think that I impacted everyone, I would hope that I have helped some of you in your SWAT journeys and I’ll always be around if any of you need me in the future because I genuinely do care for everyone in SWAT.
