Celebrating Easter the RPF Way

Rebel Cottontail is hoppin’ down the bunny trail to our Easter Bloom Party, running until April 6th! The Party Planning Committee is egg-cited to organize a lineup of fun activities, including an egg-stravagant egg hunt. Hop over to our Discord server and the RPF website to find all eight!
The team is also asking you to reflect on a moment when you tried something new and loved it – share your story on a new beginning where you blossomed in this form.

Tuxedo Times is joining the pastel-party fun with a Challenge of the Week party task, which you can find below! But the Easter festivities don’t stop there – more egg-citing activities await! Hop to the post to see what’s in store and how to earn the exclusive Wildflower role.

Curtain Call on Clover Madness

The 2026 March Madness tournament has come to an end, and what a wild ride it was! From intense training sessions to dominating battles, everyone who participated gave it their all in the Grand Finals. Although we may not have won, RPF showed great strength and comradery, and that’s what truly matters. Congratulations to our allies, the Army of Club Penguin, for being this year’s champions!

A special thank you to our incredible staff, who worked tirelessly to grow our community, assist newcomers, and bring hype and energy to every event. None of this would have been possible without them!

Thank you Master DS for the highly anticipated trophy!

Welcoming Patty to HCOM!

Following the end of the tournament, HCOM excitedly announced that Patty has been promoted to Third in Command! Since joining in March 2020, Patty has played a significant role in countless battles, server parties, iconic shenanigans, and currently works across multiple RPF teams. She is a natural leader and an exceptionally hard worker who is always willing to help others, and there is no doubt she will thrive in her new role. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement, Patty! A new chapter has begun for her and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes!

Move Over for Medias Res!

This week, we celebrate the marvelous Medias Res for earning the title of Troop of the Week #383! A top participant during MMXI, she earned the Trófaí Anois role for fighting the good fight until the very end. After finding our community in July 2025, Medias Res has recently stepped out of her shell and become incredibly active, rising to the rank of Major. You can often find her chatting with friends and attending events, always showing up in style. Keep up the fantastic work, Medias Res!
