Bots Ruined Club Penguin United Medieval Quest!

Hi Penguins! Tripplem Here :)

This post will focus on a topic which I'm sure many of you will be very familiar with on Club Penguin...

Bots.

But before I tell you about all that, let me show you some of the highlights from the Club Penguin United Medieval Quest from yesterday!

I almost didn't attend this event as I'd forgotten, and was reminded by someone five minutes before it started! (Thank you to whoever reminded me, I can't remember who it was. Sorry!) There were two teams; Knights and Princesses, and Dragons. I decided to be a Knight and quickly prepared my costume...

I then swiftly logged onto the server Marshmallow, not wanting to be late for this awesome event. As expected, lots of penguins had shown up! We all greeted each other and started to have fun.

However, we were soon attacked by an intruding team of bots, which is not unheard of in past community events. However, this was a large group and they were relentless and simply would not leave us alone, no matter what we tried.

The Club Penguin United Team decided to move the event to a different server - Sparkly. They privately announced this by DM in case the bot owner happened to be on Twitter. Initially, this seemed to solve the problem, and the party resumed.

 But then a few minutes later...

It seems very unlikely that a bot could have jumped from server to server and in well under five minutes just happened to have found us in 1 out of over 100 English speaking servers... unless he was friends with one of us. This made me suspect that the bot owner was right under our very noses...

However, the UN's Declaration of Penguin Rights states that all penguins are innocent until proven guilty!

We then took refuge in the EPF Room and discussed the various options we had.

 But then again, our escape from the bots was short lived...

We made another attempt to escape the bots and relocated in the Plaza...

But yet again this escape was in vain...

Once we'd lost the bots again, we moved to the forest and were greeted by a well known Aussie penguin friend of mine, Rosytilly!

We had some fun hanging out at the Cove with Echo006 the purple dragon, Leeasteroid the legendary wizard, Babycrier the winged knight and Princeslily the...princess...Duh!

It was then time for some good ol' fashioned Card Jitsu Fire...

And of course, a Medieval Squad Selfie! I won't even bother with the cringey hashtags...

We then waddled (or teleported) over to the Iceberg, where we found a rather abnormally large group of penguins...

 And it didn't take us long to realise that they were bots...

So, I think it's safe to say that the party was ruined by an annoying group of bots controlled by an immature, sad hacker who thinks he's too cool for school, with the intention of ruining our fun.

I'd like to urge you all to be on the lookout for a penguin named Ha Ha 30, as this was not the first time I'd encountered him controlling bots recently. Bots have increasingly become a significant problem with Club Penguin in recent times, particularly on populated servers such as Blizzard, but now they are even targeting the less populated servers such as Marshmallow and Zipline as well. I really hope that the Club Penguin Team does whatever they can to ensure that this doesn't happen in the future.

I'd also like to say directly to whoever decided to ruin our fun and other bot owners that may be reading this post; you simply need to grow up, be more mature and find something else to do that doesn't annoy or ruin the experiences of other Club Penguin players. If you think that you're cool in any way by doing this, you're NOT.

Apologies for such a negative post guys, I just really needed to get this off my chest.

Hopefully the next Club Penguin United event will not be ruined by bots as it is my understanding that the date and server will not be publicly announced on Twitter.

Until then,

Waddle On!
