Cruising In: Water Troops Announce Revival

On October 1, the historic Water Troops announced its revival following a four-year hiatus after their most recent shutdown. This comes as a surprise to the entire community, many of whom can barely remember what the army itself even is – let alone witnessed it in its prime. In this article, we will be examining the history of Water Troops and looking at what the future could possibly hold for them.

 

Designed by Ugly


Water Troops was originally formed in 2009 by Keano73, and has had thirteen generations to date – not including their most recent reopening. They are most remembered for their merging into Water Vikings alongside the Masked Vikings. Their most recent generation, opened in October 2020, was short lived with the army being officially shut down in December of the same year. Many in the community believed this was the end of the Water Troops, until a surprising announcement came on the morning of October 1.

 

Raven Revives WT

After days of foreshadowing, alongside many on the edge of their seats in anticipation, Raven officially announced the revival of Water Troops, led by himself as well as Mistymoonlake, hydro21 and RevanClub Penguin Army League reached out to Raven on this monumental revival for an interview.

We’ve seen you alluding to reviving other armies, so why revive such a historic army as WT?

Raven: Well WT was a suggestion of my friend bryce, i was discussing the possibility of me making an army in a server and we agreed on WT

Do you have any plans for WT? And what do you think the future growth will look like for the army?

Raven: Honestly, Its mostly for fun and creating a server that is out of the current cpa culture. I can see us being a strong S/M tho

Do you think your current revival will be able to live up to the legacy of WT? And if so, how?

Raven: I have no idea about the legacy of WT but i can act at least as r*tarded as games does sometimes so probably

Great! Thanks so much for your answers, do you have any closing remarks?

Raven: Logical sucks

Water Troops Revival Event


A new era for Water Troops and possibly a new dawn for Armies as a whole. We will all be watching the current generation of WT as they continue to grow into the shoes of such an influential army. Should more old armies be revived? Will WT live up to the name and history they hold? Does Logical suck? We will all be waiting to see these questions answered!

A New Beginning

Introduction – Why is CPAL returning?

The Club Penguin Army community has been around for over a decade, taking a simple idea and turning it into something far bigger than anyone could have imagined back in 2006. If you told people then that we’d still be around in 2024, they wouldn’t have believed you. We have survived for so long because this is a home for those looking to escape reality and it’s clear that this community isn’t going anywhere for a while. We’ve seen our share of highs and lows, from thriving years where its hard to leave your computer to moments when it felt like the whole thing was teetering on the edge.

Right now, the community is holding steady, but it’s clear that things have shifted. Over time, rules have tightened, and the CPA scene has become less enjoyable. Armies are caught in a grind of endless training battles, rogue events, and waiting for other armies to slip up just to seize an opportunity for conflict. It’s become a game of framing opponents as villains to be shunned.

Obviously there are exceptions to this where armies do decide to war but they’re not so great either. For example, the current war between ACP-EGCP is nearing the 100th battle, pushing their troops through multiple invasions a day. For some, this relentless pace might be fun, but for many, repeating the same battles with predictable outcomes has drained the fun out of being in war. Essentially its a game of which armies troops get bored enough and stop showing but that should not be the case.

We need to face these challenges head-on and push for a return to the excitement and engagement that made the community great. It’s time to take a hard look at what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change to bring back the thrill that made us thrive in the first place. As such, the Club Penguin Army League will be returning to help the community get back to the level we all want and need it to be.

How will it work?

CPAL will be entirely community-driven. As time goes on, we will continue to evolve with the communities ideas through our Board of Directors system. We invite every army and every community member to join us in helping the community return back to its glory and to take a chance on this project to further advance our community into its next chapter. It’s time we get out of our comfort zone and make this community truly what its meant to be.

Seasons

Our league will feature a dynamic, traditional map where armies compete in various types of battles to claim and maintain territory. Unlike before, armies will face the constant risk of losing land rather than just holding it or waiting for a war.

Strategic value will be assigned to different areas, with certain territories such as Klondike being hot spots and offering bonus points—an extra 5 points for capturing and 3 points for defending in the top ten. This setup will drive armies to have frequent and strategic invasions and defenses.

Armies will also have the opportunity to raid others for additional points. Battles will ultimately be more diverse and unpredictable. For instance, armies might face challenges where up to six rooms are announced at random times within a 30-minute window, adding a layer of realism and surprise to the warfare experience.

Our first season will be announced soon with more specifications on new styles of warfare and a point distribution system for the top ten.

Tournaments

The CPA organization has incorporated changes to spice up tournaments implementing double eliminations. However, we believe tournaments can be more than typical traditional battles.

For example, a free-for-all tournament where all participating armies log on at the same time and every 10 minutes, an army chooses which room to go for. A set of rooms is set by the judges, with each room valued by a different amount of points. An example, Iceberg and Town: the Iceberg can be valued at 10 points, followed by the Town valued at 6. Every 10 minutes, the point values of the rooms will reset, giving leaders the chance to adjust their strategies on the fly. They can choose to take a risk by going after a high-value room or play it safe in rooms with lower point values.

Roles

Board of Directors: The board will consist of 7 members from the community who will make decisions and manage the league for a duration of season. At the end of each season, the board will be reconstituted with new members, allowing fresh perspectives and ideas to shape the league’s future. This rotating system ensures a dynamic and evolving leadership, giving everyone a chance to influence the direction and success of the community.

Head Moderator: Responsible for overseeing and managing Discord operations.

Moderator: Assists with Discord management, supporting the Head Moderators in maintaining order and addressing community concerns.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO): Manages media relations and strategic communication to promote and enhance the league’s visibility.

Editor: Focuses on media content creation and editing, ensuring high-quality and engaging materials for the community.

Reporter: Gathers and reports on community news and updates, keeping everyone informed and engaged.

We encourage all community members to apply for these roles and contribute to the growth and advancement of our community.

CPA Organization

Our goal isn’t to compete with the CPA Organization. Rather, we want everyone to benefit from this league.

Ending Note

This community is a home to hundreds, and we’re committed to pushing its boundaries and maximizing the fun. What we’ve outlined so far is just the beginning; CPAL is designed to evolve and grow with the creativity and ideas of its members. It’s not about perfection—it’s about constant improvement and innovation.
