How the Rebels love a party! In the last twelve months, we enjoyed 8 parties that were organised and run by the Party Planning Committee and RPF HCOM! Let’s take a closer look at all the parties from 2024!
Winter Olympics
Gotta go fast! The Rebels kicked off the new year with a ‘Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games’ themed mini-game tournament that ran from January 28th to February 2nd. Teams Girlboss, Fratres, and Celeritas each fought valiantly throughout the intense competition in hopes of being victorious!
Rebel Egg-stravaganza
As Spring rolled in, the Easter Bunny hopped down to RPF for the beloved egg hunt that was held from March 29th to the 31st! There were seven eggs sneakily hidden throughout the server, as well as the opportunity to earn the exclusive ‘Bonny Bunny’ role by completing all party tasks.
Anniversary Week
In honor of RPF’s 17th anniversary, the staff, troops, and veterans celebrated the monumental milestone by getting down and groovy during the ‘Retro Disco‘ themed party! From May 6th to the 12th, they participated in daily activities, challenges, and had the opportunity to receive the exclusive Disco Fever role. The games and giveaways were totally far out!
Summer Olympics
What time is it? The return of the Summer Olympics! Rebels got their head in the game and made a big splash for the ‘High School Musical‘ themed mini-game competition, which lasted from August 15th to the 21st. Split between three teams – Duet, Ensemble, and Spotlight – they bopped to the top to become a Rebel Olympian once again!
Horror Week
Har har har! A ‘Friday Night at Freddy’s‘ Halloween theme frightened the server from October 20th to the 27th. The week was full of many tricks and treats, including sweet candy grams, three limited edition horror roles, costume contests, and even a spooky murder mystery that kept Rebels on their toes during this unforgettable fright fest!
Rebels Before Time
Transported back to the Mesozoic Era, this prehistoric themed party began on the 11th of November and ended on the 17th.

Rebel Cash for Change
What better way to end a fantastic and eventful year than to give back?

USRPF Map Updates
Written by Artistic & Patroclus
The re-introduction of the CP Armies server map in May 2024 saw the rebirth of the USRPF – United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation!
Each army began with one capital server, and numerous free-land territories were scattered across the map. To expand their control, armies carried out invasions of these free-land territories. Additionally, armies gained more land during wars by invading other armies’ servers or through server transfers.
Map Reset & Freeland Invasions
Following the map reset and period of free-land invasions, the following servers were under the USRPF:
What a year for the rebels! Fight the Good Fight all 2025! Happy New Years!
