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. The most dominant army this year was the Rebel Penguin Federation, with Crazzy one half of a dual leadership, as they won four tournaments including the 10th edition of the Legends Cup and Christmas Chaos.

Frozen Zuke’s journey through the Club Penguin army community began in 2008, though it wasn’t until 2014 that his passion for armies ignited. Under the tutelage of Andrew24, a legendary figure in the Golds, Zuke honed his skills. Transitioning to the Dark Warriors, he trained under Xxtoysoldier’s guidance, steadily ascending the ranks to lead SWAT in the later generations of OG Club Penguin and Xat. In 2020, urged by Epic101 and welcomed by Andrew24 into the Ice Warriors Discord server, Zuke returned to the community’s fold. With Ganger90’s blessing, he resurrected SWAT, propelling it to unprecedented heights. Much akin to Mustapha10’s revitalization of the Doritos, Zuke rejuvenated SWAT, leading them to remarkable sizes of 60 and occasionally breaching 80-100+. Engaging in epic battles against formidable foes such as the Light Troops and Underground Mafia, Zuke’s leadership steered SWAT to victory time and again. Despite his reign being cut short by Badboy’s intervention, Zuke’s legacy endured. He assumed leadership of the Ice Warriors post the closure of Club Penguin Online (CPO), orchestrating their rise to consistent sizes of 70-120+. Zuke’s impact extended beyond the battlefield. His bespoke items and room designs on CPO attracted scores of new recruits, benefiting armies like SWAT, Ice Warriors, Golds, Dark Warriors, and Doritos. As the pioneer of custom in-game items and rooms for armies, Zuke revolutionized army aesthetics. Each major CP Online army received exclusive uniforms crafted by Zuke, complete with recruitment codes. With the transition to Superhero123’s CPPS “CPA The Game” post the closure of CP Online, Zuke’s creations found new life. Despite CPATG’s demise due to alleged DMCA threats, Zuke’s assets found a home on CPArmies.net. His contributions, including custom items, optimized battle rooms, and leading armies to unprecedented sizes, earned Zuke the prestigious title of Army Legend. For his unparalleled dedication and transformative impact on the Club Penguin army community, Frozen Zuke rightfully claims his place among the pantheon of legends.
Ayan
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
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
CSY, one of the community’s key AUSIA figures, joined armies in 2015. Since joining, he’s held successful positions including AUSIA leader in the Army of Club Penguin, Doritos, and Water Vikings prior to the original Club Penguin shutdown. He also took part in a brief spell as Chief Executive Officer of news organization Small-Medium Army Central. During his most recent stint, CSY joined the Army of Club Penguin high command in November 2019. Following months of diligence at the head of the army’s AUSIA division, CSY succeeded leader Koloway and became the 48th leader of the Army of Club Penguin in February 2020 and continues to serve as the Commander-In-Chief to this date. Since then, he established the army as a consistent top contender, with many in the community believing the army has been strongest under his leadership since Boomer’s famous 2010 generation. 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. CSY currently holds the Bronze and Silver Medals within the Army of Club Penguin, awarded by guardian Mchappy.
Regan
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.
