Club Penguin Times Issue 273 :) January 7. 2011 :)

Are Elite Penguins Among Us?

A high-tech force of Elite Agents has been protecting the island in secret.

Did you know that there's a top-secret organization watching over Club Penguin?We didn't! An anonymous source confirmed this week the existence of a group called the Elite Penguin Force. Click on Read more…

“They've got lots of secret technology,” said the source in a letter.  “Teleportation, Elite Puffles, holograms... and a super secret Command Base. You may have seen them running around in their crazy high-tech gear!” Elite Gear Catalog :)

The Club Penguin Times were aware of an agency called the PSA. However, the source revealed that they disappeared from the island nearly a year ago. So who are the EPF? Are they friends?

Before going to press, we received this quote from the Director: “I cannot discuss details on the EPF. But I can assure everyone they are here to protect us.”

More next week. If you want to learn more or take a waddle on memory lane read EPF Tour Guide and LINK Collection :)

How to find the Secret Message in the Newspaper? When you reading the Newspaper in Club Penguin mouse over the word EPF in the text above…hold still and wait…Thanks to yackydo for finding this Secret Message :)

EMERGENCY MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Attention all agents - we have confirmed this 'anonymous source' was not an EPF agent. We are investigating their identity.

Agent G is working hard on a new communication system. Watch for a new Spy Phone program on January 10.

Be resourceful, be remarkable, be ready.

Explorers Looking for Next Adventure :)

Explorers are planning a new expedition this month.

Explorers will be extra excited to hear that a new expedition is in the works. Exploring experts announced this week that they are planning a new endeavor later this month.

“We had two eventful expeditions last year,” commented one explorer. “The Cave Expedition and the Mountain Expedition, and both were huge successes. Now we’re looking for the next great adventure.”

Rumors have already begun to spread where the next expedition will go.

“Something many penguins may not know...” said an explorer at the Ski Village, “is that most of the island is yet to be explored. There are lots of places we could go next.”

“I’m thinking the Box Dimension,” another explorer commented. “There’s A LOT of boxes in there. I get lost easily.”

Details will be announced in next week’s newspaper.

Aunt Arctic :)

Can Elite Agents invite citizens to join the EPF?

C KRET
Dear Aunt Arctic,
How do I join the Elite Penguin Force?-C Kret

Dear C Kret,
It isn’t very often that I say this, but... I don’t know the answer to your question!

As a journalist, I’d like to commend the EPF on their secrecy until now. They’ve done a brilliant job watching over the island without drawing any attention to themselves.

Needless to say that I’m very interested in learning more about them. But to try to answer your question - I would say your best bet is to track down an agent. It will, no doubt, be very tricky.

But if you can prove yourself to them, and show your passion for protecting the island, they may help you join the force.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to try and contact the Director for an interview.

Secrets: Spy Phone :)

The newspaper has learned that Elite Agents use many high-tech gadgets in their work. But the most impressive may be their Spy Phones.

These digital devices reportedly have many amazing technological abilities. They allow Elite Agents to scan computers, disconnect dangerous circuits, and scan for suspicious signals.

They also grant agents access to top-secret EPF gear. No other details are known at this time.

See last weeks Club Penguin Times Issue 272 :)

New Year and BIGGEST Threat - Reviewed by You :)

This is a Message from Billybob:

Hello Penguins! 

Last week we asked you what you're most looking forward to in the new year and Reeio said:

im looking forward to what happens to a certain polar bear. I also can't wait for the parties and coins for change i love donating.  Waddle On CP

Thanks Reeio!

Reeio's comment made me think of the time a certain polar bear triggered a huge earthquake. The attack was intense, but the island recovered thanks to your help. Earthquake! And Message in HQ!

With that in mind, this week we want to hear from the EPF.

Agents - what do you think is the greatest threat to peace on the island?

Write your Reviewed By You answer as a comment. We'll post one (50 - 75 words, please) in next week's Reviewed By You. If your submission is chosen to be the feature comment on next week's blog, we'll add 10 000 coins to your penguin account. Don't forget to use your penguin name so we can add coins!

Until then... Waddle on!

I think Herbert is a threat BUT I think unfriendly Penguins that likes to Bully other Penguins or make up Fights and create Wars in Club Penguin are a BIGGER threat to our Community! BUT…TOGETHER we can make Club Penguin SAFE and FUN!

We’re all in this TOGETHER! Club Penguin Style :)

Coins for Change 2010 detailed Result :)

KELOWNA, British Columbia (Business Wire) More children around the world will soon have safe places to live, learn and play thanks in part to the support of kids who play in the popular snow-covered virtual world, Club Penguin (clubpenguin.com). The fourth annual Coins For Change event, conducted from December 17 to 27, 2010, allowed the children who play Club Penguin to help change the world by donating the virtual coins they earned playing games online to real world causes that matter to them.

Kids could donate virtual coins to provide medical help, build safe places or protect the earth. At the end of the event, the virtual donations to the three cause categories served as votes to determine how a $1M cash contribution from Disney Online Studios would be divided among charitable projects aimed at helping children, families and the planet.

Thanks to more than 3.4 million players who donated in excess of 12.2 billion virtual coins, Disney Online Studios will donate:

• $290,000 USD to support medical clinics in Malawi and Lesotho, Africa (conducted by Partners in Health).
• $50,000 USD to fund operations for sick and disabled children in Cambodia (conducted by Children’s Surgical Centre).
• $75,000 USD to provide school programs for kids displaced by war in Sudan, Africa (conducted by War Child).
• $75,000 USD to protect children from violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (conducted by War Child).
• $150,000 USD to fund projects to provide water to communities in India (conducted by Free The Children).
• $180,000 USD to teach kids and families to care for watersheds and rainforests (conducted by Rare).
• $180,000 USD to protect endangered animals in Columbia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the Andes Mountains (Conducted by Wildlife Conservation Network).

The Coins you gave are Changing the World :)

Providing Medical Help $340,000

Protecting the Earth $360,000

Building Safe Places $300,000

You Gave 12,261,193,800 Club Penguin Coins. That’s like:

2,452,238,160 Pizzas made in Pizzatron!

Thanks Billybob for this Super FUN and Cool Facts but I am so HAPPY that we gave the Coins to real Children in need instead :)

“Our players work hard to earn virtual coins on Club Penguin, but when a need is expressed they give freely and generously, and I’m always blown away by their passion for helping others and protecting the earth,” says Lane Merrifield, one of Club Penguin’s co-founders and executive vice president of Disney Online Studios. “It was particularly exciting this year to see even more kids from around the world rally together as part of Coins For Change.”

I LOVE Coins for Change it is so Much FUN to Help out :) Thanks again Billybob (Lane Merrifield) for making this Possible :) And Pretty Please let us have Coins for Change 2011 next December :)

Red Puffle Big Face Cushion :)

Disney Club Penguin has made a NEW Red BIG Face Puffle Cushion and I like this one MUCH better that the older ones Club Penguin Puffle Cushion :) and Club Penguin Puffle Cushions Small :) If they make a PINK or Purple Puffle that looks cute like this one does I might buy one IF they are Washable BUT as Disney DOESN’T tell us if their Club Penguin Toys are or not we must assume they are not and that means that they are made in a poor quality! And I do NOT buy that…PLEASE Club Penguin can you add in your Product information if your Plush Toys are Washable or not? Thanks :)

Red Puffle Big Face Cushion :)

This is what Disney tells us: Add the finishing touch to any bedroom, lounge or even igloo with help from this bold Puffle cushion. It looks exactly like one of those pets from Club Penguin, complete with fluffy hair and cheerful embroidered features

Product Information:
