THE HOLY EMPIRE OF TEMPLARIA IS NOW AT WAR

Our mighty Templaria continues its perpetual conquest today. We challenged the Aliens of Club Penguin to a combat on the 22nd of October and, only two days later on the 24th, we had taken their only two Club Penguin Army World Map (CPAWM) servers. Ending this Siderian Crusade with a war score of 2-0, the Aliens opted to no-show. They only proved to themselves and the rest of the community what we already knew; that they are not an army at all. This façade is one that is not unique to the Aliens. These niche wars on Club Penguin are what defines our community and, though the Alien aversion to conflict is egregious, there are others among us that masquerade as “armies”.

If there were a tier list for fraudulent armies, Help Force (HF) would undoubtedly place within the highest level. The last time they genuinely waged war on another army in August of 2024, choosing to target the People’s Imperial Confederation. Before then, HF started conflicts with the Silver Empire and SWAT in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Let me be clear – in the span of FIVE YEARS, the Helpers opted to declare war on THREE ARMIES. All of these armies were smaller than Help Force and were barely classified as major. The pattern? Help Force only started wars to put down up-and-coming armies.

As stated in our 2024 war declaration All Help Lost:

“Armies that behave like vultures and prey only on the vulnerable should not command any level of respect.”

The War of the Second Helping ended 8-7 in favour of Templars. When a peace treaty was agreed upon, HF timed it in coordination with the Secret Service army to allow them to declare war on us. This was undoubtedly an act of spite and it only serves to illustrate the spinelessness of Help Force. There has not been a single war that Help Force has declared since the War of the Second Helping in 2024. They have fought ONE WAR against the prestigious Boxmen of Boxland earlier this year. Aside from this very serious conflict with the Boxmen of Boxland, they have been in NO WARS IN TWO YEARS.

People like to complain in the Club Penguin Armies (CPA) community chat about how “army culture is dying”; armies can barely be considered armies anymore and nothing ever happens. I relate to that sentiment a lot but it’s honestly quite tiring to read. Beyond the stupendous networks of alliances that prevent war, the culprit of this issue is right in front of you. Armies like the Aliens and Help Force are more than happy to engage in a cycle of doing nothing except twiddling their flippers until the next CPA major tournament. Maybe they get lucky and win the trophy, like when Help Force won Legends Cup XIV in 2024. If they don’t, better luck next time! There’s not as much at stake in a tournament, no pride lost.

It is hard to stop this pacifist plague as it is a widespread mindset problem, but we will do our part. With servers transfered from the benevolent Sidie’s Rangers, we are now back on the CPA server map. Thank you Sidie’s Rangers, very cool!

My fellow Templars; it is time to return to the battlefield once more and eradicate the pacifism that is eroding the Club Penguin army community.

FROM THE EMPRESS AND THE IMPERIAL COURT:

As of the 11th of November, the HOLY EMPIRE OF TEMPLARIA hereby declares war on the HELP FORCE, commencing the SECOND SIDERIAN CRUSADE.

War Terms:

1. All war battles must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance with the CPA league. Failure to do so will result in the invalidation of the scheduled battle.
2. No army following this declaration can transfer any servers until the conclusion of the war. All involved servers are hereby locked. The only exception to this rule is if an army forfeits the war and transfers all of their servers to the opposing side.
3. All battles must be judged by Army Judging Board’s officiated judges. Apprentice Judges are permitted to spectate in accordance to AJB’s policies.
4. AJB Judges must be requested for battles at least 24 hours in advance. Failure to do so will result in the invalidation of the scheduled battle.
5. No external involvement is allowed in this war. Allies, visitors, dual-enlists and members of other armies are not permitted, making this a locked one-on-one map war between Templars and Help Force only. No other army may declare war or schedule invasions on either side for the duration of this war. Server map currency cannot be transferred during the war.
6. No army is allowed to merge into TCP or HF following this declaration until the war has concluded. Any merger will be deemed invalid.
7. A withdrawal from this war for any reason and in any shape or form (e.g. withdrawing from the CPA league, etc.) will constitute a forfeit of the war and automatically transferring all owned lands to the opposing army.
8. The losing army in this conflict must accept the terms of a treaty imposed by the winning force.
9. Multilogging, hacking, ddosing, doxxing, botting, or any other means of cheating will not be allowed in this war.
10. Any attempt to exploit loopholes will result in a forfeit of lands and the war.
11. All other CPA server map and CPA Battleground rules apply to this war.
12. Immediate defeat for an army will occur if they are found to be in violation of a war term by CPA administrators. The land of the army in question will be automatically ceded to the opponent and a force treaty will be issued by the winner of the conflict.
