INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Help Force! After reading each part of this guide, you’ll know more about how Help Force works. Our motto is “Unleash the Power of Helping!”
What is Help Force?
The Help Force is a huge community made up of Club Penguin players that offers a variety of things to participate in. The players communicate on a chatting social media called Discord, which is widely used by gamers. We are a Club Penguin army, and we host both army and non-army related activities. These include events, tournaments, training sessions, tracking, and much more.
These different activities are spread across the week, and across 3 main time zones—AUSIA, EU, and US. We aim to host activities evenly in all of these zones to make sure everyone in our community is treated equally and has a chance to participate!
RECRUITING
Recruiting is the life blood of our existence in Help Force. Recruiting is done by inviting people who play Club Penguin to our army. We do this through segments. A segment is when people get together to invite new people to the army. An announcement is made an hour before a recruiting segment starts. They usually last about an hour, and for every segment you attend, you earn sapphires.
The sapphire system is a trademark of Help Force. If you attend an event, segment, or fun event, you will receive sapphires. Sapphires allow you to buy items from the Sapphire Shop, which you can find with the command /shop.
Each week, the sapphires earned are added up in the leaderboard. The person who comes in first at the end of the week earns the Gamer of the Week award!
EVENTS
We host various events on Club Penguin Rewritten. They will be announced clearly on the discord many hours before commencing and are pretty simple once you get the hang of how they work! There are many different types of events that we host, such as:
- Army Trainings
- Fun Events
- Practice Battles
- Battles
Events are led by the staff team (starting from General). During the events, all of the troops online must log on the announced Club Penguin room and server, wearing the correct outfit for the event. Events happen through tactics and formations which are described in detail below.
Tactics
Tactics are used in all events that we host on CPAB. They are basically sentences or emotes. The leader of the event will say them in the chat on discord, such as “E7 ON 3” and once they count to 3 on discord you will use the emoji by pressing E + 7 on your keyboard on Club Penguin, and the emote will send. It’s simple! With a number of other users repeating the same emoji it can create lots of intricate patterns that look amazing! Be sure to take pictures!
Similarly, the other kind of tactics include words. These are leaders telling everyone to type a certain phrase. For example, “UNLEASH THE POWER OF HELPING.” On the count of 3, everyone needs to enter it together on CPR and keep copying and pasting it until the next tactic is announced.
Some common tactics used by HF are:
- Room Change—This means changing the room. The leaders will tell you to open maps. On the count of 3, you will switch to the room announced while doing the tactic announced.
- Bomb—Bombing means running in ANY DIRECTION while doing a certain tactic.
- Waterfall—Waterfall means running UP AND DOWN while doing a certain tactic.
- Rake—Rake means running LEFT TO RIGHT while doing a certain tactic.
- Wipe—Wiping means running to the OPPOSITE SIDE (for example, diagonally) as announced and staying there while doing a tactic.
- Z-Wipe—Wiping in the direction of a Z (top-left to top-right, to bottom left, to bottom right) while doing a certain tactic
- Tornado—Tornado means running in the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION while doing a certain tactic.
Note: Remember to keep doing tactics until the next one is announced.
Formations
When entering a new room or after using a bombing tactic, you will most likely be put into a new formation. A formation is basically the way we organize our penguins on Club Penguin. Common formation include X, V, plus, anchor, and T.
Remember: Do NOT bunch. Bunching means sitting on top or very close to each other. That makes us look small. Make sure you have at some space between the penguin next to you, but take care not to leave big gaps.
Battles
Battles are very important events. There are other armies in the community who also train like us. We battle them in wars, practice battles, tournaments, etc. You need to be more aware and hold tactics longer in a battle to defeat the other army. During a battle it is vital that you make sure formations are neat, there are no gaps or bunching, and you are not sending tactics too late.
FUN EVENTS
We have many fun events for you to participate in every day. Fun events are hosted through fun events channel, and can include, skribbl.io, Krunker, Roblox, Minecraft, etc.
Ranks & Promotions
The Help Force server offers “promotions” as in various ranks you can gain. Promotions are given weekly by staff members. By attending events and reacting for sapphires in #promotions, recruiting, and being active in chat, you can boost your chances of getting promoted.
There are 3 “levels” of promotions: HF Troopers, Rookies, and Event Managers.
Trainee is the first rank you will receive when you join the server and attend an army event. After Trainee, there are 5 more ranks until Rookie. There are 5 Rookie ranks, and then 8 Event Manager ranks.
After you become an Event Manager, you will also get the chance to host fun events, such as skribbl.io, sled racing tournaments, etc. You will be shown by a staff member how to organize an event.
Army Community
You may be wondering, why do we host so many events?
The main reason, other than to maintain activeness in our community, is for the Top Ten Armies. This a ranking system that orders the best armies in our league to their weekly position. This is dependent on the number of events held that week and the maxes that armies get in those events.
Nation + Allies/Enemies
Our allies are the armies that we are “friends” with. You can attend their events as long as those events are not battles. You may not attend any events for armies that we are neutral to or enemies with.
Check our Nation page for details!
Conclusion
After reading this guide, you’ll have a better understanding of how our army works. In case you have any question, you can always ask the staff in the server. See you at the next event!
