On Thursday, October 2, Zuj0t (better known as Yellow Typer) posted the following announcement in the Fire Vikings discord detailing that, due to the inactivity of previous leaders alongside Klombe and Carly‘s commitment to and activity in the army, they have both been promoted to Emperor and Empress (FV leader) respectively.

Klombe and Carly Promotion Announcement
This comes as no surprise to anyone within FV, as previously to this both members occupied respected positions within the community. To see what their plans will be as leaders, as well as how they feel about the promotion Club Penguin Army League reached out to Klombe and Carly for an interview.
Did you expect your promotion to Emperor/Empress, and how do you feel about taking on this leadership role?
Klombe: i didnt really expect to get promoted to leader already, and im happy about getting leader
Carly: At first I didn’t think I’d be promoted because I was just helping my fellow friends in leading and covering for them out of kindness and because we were such close friends. Until one day I was messaging Regal and our conversation took a curve to be being promoted to empress in training. At that point I was nowhere near fourth in command I was the top of the staff team. But Regal appreciated my helpfulness and made me skip 4 ranks to empress in training. I truly thank him for that because it was quite an honor to skip 4 ranks. At first I didn’t think I deserved it and asked him if he was sure and he was. So I became empress in training. after a few months of inactivity I came back on (This week actually) I heard Shakira and regal would be off due to inactivity and Yellow promoted me and Klombe to leaders. I feel extremely honored to given such a rank. And I thank all the leaders who helped me reach the top and even staff friends.
Do you have any major goals you wish to accomplish during your time as Emperor/Empress?
Klombe: doing more events, maxing more and reaching top 10
Carly: I want to be seen as a memorable person and leader. A few goals I do want to accomplish is to make our Army greater and more powerful, in the sense of being in the top 5 or so. I want my army to excel in skills and I also want to be the ultimate Sled racer champion. (Which I shall be one day just you see :> ).
What can the community expect from your leadership?
Klombe: being more active with more events
Carly: I want to be seen as a kind leader but serious and firm when I have to be. Always making sure everything is in ship shape, but not perfect due to no army being perfect (Not even ours we gotta stay humble here) . My army isn’t perfect but its perfect in its own definition even with the cons which is quite positive to me. The fire vikings already have tons and tons of loving crew members and great leading leaders, and amazing advisors. The community I have joined is quite loving and peaceful (except for the constant pings you receive) but the people there will always be there to help you even if you think some are intimidating. I want my army to feel recognized by others and I want everyone to know in there that I’m truly proud of everyone in there and that I will try my best to make it better than it already is! I want to be seen as helpful and not too intimidating, but just enough people take me seriously. (And If its not too much to ask try to be very specific sometimes when messaging me because I’m quite slow mentally If I have to be honest here.)
Do you have any major changes or plans for Fire Vikings?
Klombe: i want to make fv reach top 10 at least 3 times
Carly: I don’t have many major changes in mind besides making it into the top 5 as I explained in the other two questions before this one. I want to recruit more people A chalenge I’m willing to make a goal is probably getting 500 members. But we’ll start off with have 400. We’ll do baby steps so my goal isn’t that hard to reach.
Club Penguin Army League also interviewed Yellow Typer for his insight and rationale as to the promotion for these two very ambitious leaders.
Could you explain a little the reasoning behind giving Klombe and Carly Emperor and Empress respectively?
Yellow Typer: As I mentioned in my previous announcement, both Regal and Shakira have been inactive, leaving FV without active leadership. Because of this, we’ve decided to step up our HCOM presence. I’ve seen great potential in both Klombe and Clover; they’ve progressed quickly through the ranks, reaching 2ic and LiT in a short time. Klombe has even led several battles in the past while holding 3ic, showing solid leadership skills. For these reasons, I’m officially granting Klombe and Clover permission to lead FV while Shakira and Regal remain inactive.
Building onto your previous answer, were there any other instances where you and other advisors saw behaviour from them that made you believe they’d have leader potential?
Yellow Typer: Yes, definitely. Both Klombe and Clover have consistently shown initiative beyond their ranks. Klombe has stepped up multiple times during events, helping organize tactics and motivate troops even without being asked! That is the kind of confidence and awareness that stands out. Clover has been dependable in communication, often stepping in to assist new members and helping keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. They’ve both shown responsibility, teamwork, and leadership instincts that make it clear they’re ready to handle bigger roles when needed.
Both Carly and Klombe have both stated they aim to put Fire Vikings in the top 10, with more activity and events – do you believe they will be able to achieve this goal?
Yellow Typer: Absolutely, if I was able to do it within a month of creating FV and being in the cpa community for a short amount of time, they most definitely have potential to do it. Of course, me and the other advisors are going to be there to help with any and everything they need but I have faith that while they are in command, they will do whatever it takes (without cheating) to achieve their goals and if one of them is to put FV back on top ten then they will do that. o7
Thank you so much for these answers, just one more question. Do you have any advice for anyone else looking to follow in their footsteps and lead an army?
Yellow Typer: Well, I find this question very interesting, given that I am considered a newgen. With that being said, for the newer people out there, my main advice would be to stay consistent and proactive. Leadership isn’t just about holding a title; it’s about showing up, helping your team, and putting in effort even when things are slow. Be someone others can rely on. Learn from your mistakes, stay respectful, and don’t be afraid to take initiative. If you keep showing that dedication and passion, people will notice, and opportunities to lead will come naturally. I’ve seen a lot of you try to do absolutely anything to try and open your own army but most have failed. Don’t give up, keep trying and do what you desire. You only learn from your mistakes after all. o7
We extend our thanks to Carly, Klombe, and Yellow Typer for answering all of our questions. Both of these new leaders show drive, ambition and initiative that have allowed them to go above and beyond to achieve such a rank. We can all hopefully expect to see a major revitalization of Fire Vikings in the near future, with Clombe and Karly leading that charge. Do you believe Fire Vikings will achieve Top Ten status? Would you like to lead an army yourself? What traits do you look for and admire in leaders?
