A Holiday Message and Reflection

Posted on December 25, 2023 by Sidie9

Seasons greetings!

Today is the 25th of December, which means I would like to wish a very merry Christmas to all of those who celebrate! Christmas is important to many individuals across the world, serving as a time to celebrate family, friends, gift-giving, religion and so much more. Whether you are spending the next few days with loved ones or by yourself, the leadership of the People’s Imperial Confederation leadership wishes you a joyful holiday season!

With the year of 2023 coming to an end, an opportunity to reflect on months past arises. Though activity within the Confederation has slowed, we cannot forget the amazing year we will be leaving behind. 2021 may have been a highlight of our history for many, but 2023 has undoubtedly been our most successful year yet.

In the first of our many achievements, PIC organised the largest small/medium alliance in years to wipe the Dark Vikings from the Club Penguin army community. With the Vikings excommunicated for their behaviour and continuously struggling to regain relevance, the effects of the Sapphire Concordat’s Bloodbath Barrage are felt to this day. Swiftly retrofitting the Concordat into a war machine to defend our close ally, the Army of Club Penguin, PIC spearheaded efforts against the Blue Sunset Alliance in World War IX, the largest war of recent memory. Having personally led a majority of battles in the war, our influence was so great that we became the biggest target of our enemy. Though we struggled consistently on the battlefield, the persistence of us and our allies forced the BSA to accept peace terms that rendered all of their victories forfeit.

The second half of 2023 has been equally bountiful. Claiming our first trophy ever, we upset the infamous Special Weapons and Tactics at Beach Brawl III in an incredible battle to remember. The fall-out and controversy surrounding their defeat led to a depression SWAT is yet to recover from, with leaving one of the oldest surviving armies in shambles. Celebrating our fourth anniversary in October with a list of accomplishments so extensive it’d be fair to expect a quiet remainder of the year. Despite this, the Confederation is again in the forefront of one of the largest conflicts of the year. Declaring war on the Elite Guardians alongside our allies, PIC is currently demonstrating its continued capacity to surprise and influence the community around us. After such an extensive year to supplement our existing achievements it is safe to say we are one of, if not the greatest small/medium armies in Club Penguin army history.

I’d like to personally thank all of those who have made this year possible for us. Shallissa has continued her drive for success since 2021, establishing herself as one of the most significant small/medium army figures of the Club Penguin private server era. Alucard has embarked on a path of redemption this year, becoming a key personality within our culture and an experienced leader responsible for many of our successes. Though joining us later in our journey, Sweater’s presence in the Confederation has been felt since our brother alliance with the Fire Warriors. I could not imagine the our army in the present or future without him. Additionally, Cabin0416 will always be cherished for his service to PIC, including his efforts during Beach Brawl III. Though he will always be welcome in our army, I wish him the best of luck as a leader of the Water Vikings. Langly and Hidcre will also be forever held dearly in our hearts, being integral figures at the launch of our fourth generation and beyond.

Lastly, I would like to thank you. Whether you were one of our amazing high command officers, moderators, troops, allies or supporters, our successes could not have materialised without you. We could not have survived so long if it were not for those who believed in the vision of David/Proditor and I. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

When 2023 began, few could have envisioned the triumphs we’d witness throughout the year. Though it is unclear how 2024 will unfold, I remain optimistic and hopeful for the new year. Both online and offline, I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season once more! Until next time!
