The Chaos has Begun
Donned in pink with their staple electric guitars, the Rebels have made a spectacular first impression for the Christmas Chaos XIV quarter finals! They went head to head with the Bastille Vanguards, and with great effort from both sides, the battle was a monumental sweep for the Rebels – dominating all three rooms. Advancing to the semi-finals, they prepare to fight against the Aliens of Club Penguin this Saturday, December 14th! For more information on the battle, read the Club Penguin Armies official post as well as the #ccxiv-info and #ccxiv-giveaway-info channels in our Discord. And don’t forget to continue attending trainings throughout the week, as well as the battle to keep earning those giveaway points!!
Goodbye, Owl! We Remember It Owl Too Well
Thursday, December 5th, marked a sad day in the community, with the retirement of a beloved friend and Third in Command, Owl. In their retirement post, Owl joked fondly about the iconic ‘coup Owl‘ meme alongside the detailing of their long and exciting journey in the Rebel Penguin Federation. This resignation marked the end of a 7-month stint as Third in Command, and 21 months total back on the ranks.
Less than an hour after they announced their departure, Rebel Commander Gabi broke the news that Owl would be honoured as an RPF Rebel in the Hall of Fame. Gabi cited their dedication since rejoining in 2023 and loyalty since 2019, as just a few reasons they deserve this fantastic accolade!
As we all bid farewell to Owl, we also celebrate their countless contributions, unwavering dedication, and the joy they brought to the community. Continue to fly high in life, Owl – you’ll always have a perch here with RPF!
