Parties

Written by Art, Miggy, and Meg


Nobody throws a party quite like the Rebels! In the last twelve months, we enjoyed 10 fantastic parties, thanks to our hardworking Party Planning Committee and RPF HCOM. Let’s take a recap into all the fun!

Winter Olympics 2025

During the Winter Olympics 2025 from 5 January to 12 January, the teams Denki, Nemui, and Shinka battled it out for the shiny gold medals.

Operation Centurion

Operation Centurion was a 100-day event meaning daily activities leading up to RPF’s Anniversary. The first day started on January 30th and ended on May 10th. There were many things to do during that timeframe to go with the huge party from being able to attend 6 regular events to participating in the Recruitathon, Spin the Wheel, Ticket Prize Booth, Talent Show, and the return of both Rebel Records and Rebel Economy

The Recruitathon– Was a recruiting competition during Operation Centurion it was split in 2 categories. Sprint – which focused on our week leading up to the March Madness X Finals, and Cross Country, which focused on the last month of the operation, leading up to the RPF Anniversary! 

The competition would be divided into Staff competition and Troop competition, with huge rewards for both categories and both parts of the Recruitathon (Sprint and Cross Country)!

Spin the Wheel– A bit like a raffle you could submit your Discord Name and idea on a form and check each week to see if your name was chosen. You only needed to submit once for your name to be included, there were many chances throughout the party to see if you won. 

Ticket Prize Booth– To make things more interesting, during Operation Centurion people could get tickets that came with rotation periods! The day before each restock, a mystery prize would be added to the booth. The contents and price of this item will change!

Talent Show Participants filled out a form to describe their talent, spoke or sang in VC, or simply had their artwork/talent posted within the server and pinned this portion would take place on RPF’s 18th Anniversary.

Rebel Records and Rebel EconomyBoth RPF’s beloved Podcast for special occasions and parties has made a full return along with our Rebel Economy no more attending Events for FREE, HCOM now has to pay!

Picnic Palooza

Spring had sprung and so had the sweetest party! From eating delicious treats to finding one during the Scavenger Hunt. While the week of February 24- March 2 went on it held a bunch of fun tasks and activities in store!

Kingdom of Pets Paw-rty

Who let the dogs out? During the week of March 24-March 30 the PPC did! With fun games, puzzles, and Party Tasks we celebrated the cutest participants in RPF- the Pets!

The Rebel Wonka Experience 

It was Easter weekend, and the aroma of chocolate filled the air! HCOM handed the torch to the PPC Mods to come up with a party so delightful it’ll leave you wishing you found the golden ticket. From April 18th to April 21st, the Rebels had 5 tasks to complete to earn the exclusive Oompa Loompa role. 

Anniversary Week

RPF is officially old enough to buy lottery tickets and in some countries, drink legally! This year we celebrated the 18th year of fighting the good fight. For the week of May 5th to May 11th, Rebels grabbed their canes and waddled slowly through bingo tasks to earn the Aged Like Fine Wine role. The final event was a Gala followed by a talent show and we ended the week with the Rebel Records podcast where there were HCOM interviews and a pub quiz! 

Summer Olympics

The Summer Olympics rolled around, and we readied our swords to save the princess! We welcomed the heroes of Hyrule, teams Din, Farore, and Nayru, on June 7th during the opening ceremony and congratulated the winners of this Legend of Zelda themed Olympics on June 15th. These Rebel Olympians battled through minigames earning medals and representing their teams with pride. 

Rebel Rock Fest

Get ready to mosh, sing, and vibe! As summer heated up, RPF cranked the volume for Rebel Rock Fest, a mini festival held from August 29th to 31st. Rebels jammed their way through a setlist of music-themed tasks, from striking their best rock-star poses to showing off their festival flair, all for the chance to earn the exclusive I’m With the Band’ role. A handful of surprise drops, and fun challenges kept the party loud, lively, and full of electric energy during this short but unforgettable summer show!

The Addams Federation

The Addams Federation took over the server from October 27th to November 2nd, draping the week in shadows, cobwebs, and just the right amount of charmingly morbid mischief. Throughout this haunting affair, Rebels found themselves tangled in a wickedly fun bingo card filled with eerie challenges, each step bringing them closer to the coveted Honorary Addams role. A spooky scavenger hunt crept through the server, trick-or-treat exchanges spread mysteriously sweet (and suspiciously spooky) surprises, and a pumpkin-carving contest let everyone reveal their inner artist or inner monster. Spectral drops appeared without warning, an igloo-decorating contest transformed homes into haunted halls, and a character quiz exposed which wonderfully peculiar Addams each Rebel truly embodies. Black attire optional. Unsettling energy required. Welcome to the darkness we’ve been expecting you.

The Great Blizzard

A frosty blast of holiday cheer swept into Rebel Federation from December 15th to 21st as The Great Blizzard took over! With snow falling and spirits high, Rebels came together to celebrate the festive season through winter-themed activities and nostalgic memories. Throughout the week, participants completed seven seasonal tasks from sending Christmas cards and designing gingerbread houses to joining training events and sharing holiday traditions. Those who completed five of the challenges earned the exclusive Snowstorm Survivor role. Whether warming up with hot chocolate, reminiscing about favorite holiday memories, or tackling tasks in the snow, RPF rediscovered the magic of Christmas and winter together.

Against our brother Allies, the Water Vikings, we maxed 56 in the quarter finals.
During the Semi Finals against our brother Allies, Army of Club Penguin we maxed 75.
And during March Madness Finals against Help Force we maxed 81.

Going into Legend’s Cup, it started out quite interesting as the Doritos of Club Penguin shut down before our opening battle against them, pushing us into the Semi Finals!

In the Semi Finals against our brother Allies, Water Vikings , we maxed 80. Legend Cup Finals we were up against the Aliens and we maxed 93.

Ending the year strong, we move onto the sweetest delight – Christmas Chaos XV!

Our second battle of CCXV was held on December 21st where we went head-to-head with our allies, the Army of Club Penguin where we maxed 76 penguins. This battle was fierce as overtime was declared, and we ultimately ended up winning and advancing to the Finals which are yet to be held on January 3rd, 2026.


USRPF Map Updates

Written by Mollsr, Angiejemima and Firehose

The CPA Map shows the land which each army owns. The land controlled by RPF is known as the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation (USRPF).

This year, January saw a trial continent introduced to test out new invasion methods.

In April 2025 the previous map was reset, armies began by claiming one capital server. Numerous free-land territories were scattered across the map. 

To expand their control, armies carried out invasions of these free-land territories; eight free land servers were allowed per army. Additionally, armies gained more land during wars by invading other armies’ servers or through server transfers.

The current map layout celebrated it’s One Year Anniversary in May of 2025.

Following this, October 2025 hosted a “Mapping of the Map” summit. The purpose of this convening was to discuss and implement new invasion, claiming and war rules. This was to help revitalize the map and community. The summer ended in a reset of the map.

Map Reset and Freeland Invasions

Following the map reset and period of free-land invasions, the following servers were under the USRPF:

Tuxedo (Capital)

Chinook (Freeland invaded)

Jackhammer (Freeland invaded)

Down Under (Freeland invaded)

Iceberg (Freeland Invaded)

Cold Front (Freeland invaded)

Mammoth (ACP Transferred)

Boxmen of Boxland Declare War Skirmish

On July 9th, Boxmen of Boxland decided to declare war on RPF. With the Boxmen having only one piece of land and only ONE box man, RPF managed to successfully invade.

Fiesta (Invaded)

TWO Clash

On September 17th, The White Order (TWO) declared war on RPF. The White Order consisted of a total of 7 armiesElite Guardians of Club Penguin, Penguins of Agartha, People’s Imperial Confederation, Romans, Scarlet Republic, Shadow Legionnaires, and Void Troops. TWO claimed that this was their way to impose moral justice against the RPF. With constant back-to-back battles, RPF managed to not only defend but also take land away from TWO.

Chinook (Defended)

Cold Front (Defended 3X)

Thermal (Invaded)

Snow Forts (Invaded)

Abominable (Invaded)

Avalanche (Invaded)

Flippers (Invaded)

Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind
