Winter Winners!
The Doritos of Club Penguin were crushed to dust by the Rebels, who triumphed effortlessly and ate up the competition during the Christmas Chaos XIV Grand Finals. Through weeks of diligent training, the Rebels surpassed their opponent marvelously, and swept up the crumbs by winning all three rooms. Throughout the tournament, they also battled against the Bastille Vanguards and the Aliens, coming out victorious against all three armies. Thank you to the over 86 Rebels who chipped in for the Grand Finals, and joined the battlefield to fight the good fight! Check out the official Club Penguin Armies post.
Shoutout to our talented Master DS for designing this remarkable trophy!
What better way to celebrate being champions than our Discord reaching an astounding 15 thousand members! Thank you to all the troops, vets, and staff for embodying the true spirit of a Rebel, and a warm welcome to all newcomers!
Raising the Steax: RPF Rebel Honouree
An hour after our victory in the Christmas Chaos XIV tournament, Rebel Commander Link announced an exciting Hall of Fame update: Third in Command Steax is the latest recipient of the prestigious RPF Rebel status. Link noted that Steax has consistently demonstrated unwavering dedication and reliability throughout their tenure. Having served as High Command on two separate occasions, Steax has proven to be an invaluable member of the RPF community, with recent accomplishments including successfully reviving our YouTube Team. Congratulations Steax on this incredible achievement – as Link so eloquently put it, this award was not a matter of “if”, but “when.”
Time is Ticking!
We are extremely proud to announce there are multiple RPF nominations for the Club Penguin Armies 2024 Winter Awards!

To show your support, cast in your vote through CPA’s submission post! Voting ends on December 27th 1pm EST/6pm UK.
In further RPF news, the ‘A Rebel Christmas Carol‘ party is coming to an end, and all task submissions must be sent no later than the 26th! In order to receive the festive Rebelneezer Scrooge role, take one last look at the official post to see what you may have missed!

Spotlight on Slayyyyyy: Troop of the Week
Slayyyyyy joined the RPF at the start of November, and just like his namesake, he has continued to slay his time here. Not only does he make a tremendous effort to attend as many events as possible, but he also actively supports them by generating excitement and assisting with event photography. His contributions to recruitment and retention in the weeks leading up to the Christmas Chaos Grand Finals have truly set him apart and helped him earn the accolade of Troop of the Week #317.
Fashion Deep-Dive
Although the end of the year is approaching, the Rebels fashion never goes out of style! The Rebel Broadcast Team chatted with Second in Command Ella, General Patroclus, and Officer Cadet Lehky for the December edition of Behind the Signature Items!
Holiday Party Time! Let the festivities begin!
The Christmas festivities kicked off this week on both CPJourney and CPLegacy – with each platform releasing their long-awaited and highly anticipated Holiday Party. Upon release, our Club Penguin News team made swift work of producing their top-tier guides – starting with a Party Guide and Quest Guide for CPJourney. The CPL Party Guide and Quest Guide followed several days later. Let the holiday fun begin!
