Marching Towards March Madness XI
Tie up your sneakers and tune your electric guitars, Rebels, because RPF is heading to March Madness XI! We return to one of CPArmies’ largest annual tournaments as the reigning trophy holders, advancing to the Quarter Finals on March 14th & 15th. Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming tournament, along with the exclusive giveaways in store for those who participate in battles and training events!
Spring Seasonals in Bloom
It’s spring cleaning here in the RPF! Now that we say our goodbyes to a snowy winter, it’s out with the old and in with the new 2026 Spring Seasonals! From now until the end of May, four unique and limited-time roles are available for you to earn. The best part? You earn them by meeting new friends and helping our community grow all season long!
By recruiting new members to our server, you will progress through four tiers. Requirements vary between staff and troops, so be sure to read the post carefully to see what applies to you. Good luck, Rebels! Let’s keep RPF on top and continue to build a thriving community!
Hatching New Challenges
Over the winter, readers put their brainpower to the test as Bundled Up Brainiacs to complete the Tuxedo Times weekly puzzles. Now that we’re trading in snow boots for windbreakers, it’s time for something fresh! This spring, you have the opportunity to earn The Gifted Hatchling role by completing at least 6 Challenge of the Week puzzles!
Keep in mind, puzzle submissions are only valid the week it’s released and before the next issue is posted. You have until the end of May to submit any 6 puzzles of your choosing. Scroll down to check out the first spring puzzle and see some fun facts from Winter Challenges!
FallenRaven is Fabulous in Pink!
Let’s give a round of applause to RPF’s newest Captain and 379th Troop of the Week… FallenRaven! With her contagious positivity, genuine willingness to help others, and impressive initiative to grow as a Rebel, she has truly taken over the spotlight. Notably, FallenRaven is also active in Penguin Regiment and works hard to bring new friends into our community. Congratulations on your win, FallenRaven!

The energy stayed sky-high from the jump, with plane and simple fun, bird-brained bursts of speed, and enough lift to earn everyone a pilot’s license! It was smooth, fast, and full throttle—an event that didn’t just take off, it soared! The full trip is linked below.

It’s time for another classic RPF event – an igloo raid! Troops new and old, with Officers and HCOM alike, are always trying to obtain the coveted igloo stamps. In Operation: Check Out My Iggy, we logged onto CPJ – Frozen wearing some face paint with our “Like My Igloo” signs. We explored some lovely igloos from cosy forest getaways, to pirate coves, to standard blank igloos with a singular recycling bin. All igloos are unique, and everyone got the stamps they so desired. Check out my iggy for a chill seaside resort by clicking the link below.
