This week marks the eighty-fifth official edition of “Troop Interviews”, where a team of interviewers (currently Yvng, Alienn, Emerald, Sharki, and Guinz) asks two or more people questions. Interviews won’t have the same questions; each interview’s purpose is to show originality and have its unique highlights. Along with that, the questions asked to give us a better understanding of each troop and how different or similar everyone is in the community. There’s an exponential amount of members here in the Rebel Penguin Federation, so it won’t be easy to get to everyone who requests an interview. The Rebel Broadcast Team graciously appreciates the patience you all have and hope to see you guys in a post one day!
The four interviews for this week are Joseph, Gabgeirl, and Link3000

She answered the question that she enjoyed WOW week as it was one of the first server events she got to experience.

One moment from that she remembers is her attending an event from her car while at a service station.
(Here is a picture provided by Gabi of her attending from her car)

That was a lovely interview between the two Generals. Now, let’s move on to the final interview of the day!
Link3000
Last but not least, Alien got to interview the brand new Rebel Commander, Link. Let’s not waste anymore time and let’s see what they both had to say!
How does Link feel to be the highest rank in RPF?
To start things off, Alienn asked Link how does it feel to be the highest rank of RPF. They responded with its cool and ofc nothing can be -RANKS-. On top of this, they feel it was chaotic and scary at first but things have calmed down since then.
Why does Link think they were promoted to Rebel Commander, and has this always been their goal?
Up next, Alienn asked Link what they think of their Rebel Commander promotion and has it always been their goal. Link answered this one with they weren’t sure at first especially when the RCS approached them. They knew they were an active HCOM and able to make relationships with other armies so this helped. Overall they never knew if it was something they wanted to go for and never imagined themself at HCOM or even Second in Command in the beginning.
Does Link have any plans for RPF as a whole or themselves as Rebel Commander and what do they hope to achieve?
Alienn asked Link this question right afterward. Link answered by maintaining RPF’s growth within itself as well as the army community as a whole. Winning tournaments and reaching another member milestone would be nice to see as well. They also want to keep troops engaged and keep RPF as a community where people can come together and enjoy themselves.
What OG Club Penguin Mascot would Link like to meet and why?
Alienn’s last question for Link was a fun one and asked them what mascot they would like to meet and why. Link responded with Jetpack Guy so they can ask them about the secrets of the EPF. Also, Rockhopper would be cool and the same with Rory.
Finals Words!
Link’s final words for this interview were thanking Alienn, as well as begging for Applebruh to be abolished, and I couldn’t agree more with them DOWN WITH APPLE BRUH!!!
I am excited to see what Link has to offer in their new role as Rebel Commander!
And that is the end of this week’s edition of Troop Interviews!
