Discussion: Clothing with Membership
Hey everyone,
I’ve seen a lot of talk around the community about what happens to your clothing when your membership expires. In fact, CPWorld even mentioned it in his video about “3 Things Wrong with Club Penguin”. But in my opinion, there is nothing wrong.
Basically, whenever your membership expires, the outfit that you are wearing (regardless of weather it contains member items or not) will remain on your penguin until you wear a different item. When this happens and you try to turn back to your original clothing, this happens.
Credit to Echo006 for this image Many people are saying that now when your membership expires, all your member clothes are taken away including the outfit you were wearing when it expired. Nina1059 proved that this was false and it is not an issue that has been fixed yet. It is not known whether or not this is intentional. For the purpose of this discussion, let’s pretend that Club Penguin did fix this issue. Does this make it worthy of being in CpWorld’s video as a wrong thing?
CPWorld said the following in his video:
My first point is that we shouldn’t be picky. Having one member-only outfit as a non-member is already a privilege. Of course, you could just have one outfit like me and that will solve the problem…
However, here is the main problem with that solution. If you see a nice outfit you want in the Penguin Style, it’s yours and you do not have to pay for it. This is because there are seven day memberships that can be claimed. Those starting in “13” get you banned, but others are real. That means you are getting something that should be for paying members for free. Unfair in my opinion.
What I am sure is annoying for members is if they get abducted by aliens as a Tinfoil Hat will replace their head item. This could possibly (it’s unlikely) be a way of Club Penguin subtly cracking down on non-members with members items.
Don’t forget that this could all change in #ProjectSuperSecret!

Addressing the #ProjectSuperSecret Date
Hey everyone,
Today I want to discuss one of my recent posts which has caused a lot of controversy throughout the community, so much to the point I even received threats of having this website taken down. This is the post about the #ProjectSuperSecret release date. In case you missed it, you can read it by clicking here.
I’m sure that many people expected this post to say, “Oh! It was just a prank”. I understand why you might think this seeing how I posted a prank a few days before this. In that post I mentioned that it was a prank in EPF code and then the day after, I made a post explaining that. However, there has been no post saying this and that is because it is real. It is simply a coincidence I received this information a few days after I pulled the prank.
Despite me telling you this, many people don’t believe me which is a shame. I have even read multiple posts completely ignoring what I have said, yet I know for a fact that the owners have read the release date. This is just two posts I read.
It comes out in 2017. No thoughts needed. 
I’m thinking that it’s a cool idea, but it won’t happen. Well, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but that won’t be happening since Project Super Secret fully releases in 2017. When I informed Nicoray, the creator of the post, about this, he told me that he’d rather hear it from Club Penguin themselves. I’m sure that this is the case with many penguins which is why I want to say this.
Club Penguin is made up of more than just Spike Hike and Megg. There is a whole team that creates the game we all know and love today. Craig Voight is a 3D designer for that team. He sent me that email. This is the full email I received. The black bit is my real name. It says 38 minutes ago because I took this screenshot a while ago.
If you check out his LinkedIn profile, you’d realise that he has been working for Disney Interactive and Club Penguin for many years now. You may just not believe me or may not want to believe him but all I can do is share this email.
Some people have been telling me that #ProjectSuperSecret releases this summer. In fact, many people have been telling me this but this closest proof that they have been able to present to me.
If you truly believe that Project Super Secret comes out this summer, then you have absolutely no proof and therefore you are lying. Why do so many people think this? This comment clearly states that we will find out when Project Super Secret releases this summer. It does not say that Project Super Secret will release this summer.
Furthermore, some people think I was lying due to this comment saying we “won’t have to wait too long after that to test it out”. “Test it out” is referring to the beta. Craig Voight did not say that the beta was in 2017. He said that the full launch was early 2017. The beta could, and probably will be, earlier.
The email that I shared has not been edited or forged. I am simply sharing what Craig Voight has told me. Since he probably signed a non-disclosure agreement about #ProjectSuperSecret (a person who visited the CP HQ told me that everyone that goes in must sign an NDA. Of course, this person can’t be trusted as he claimed some illegal things were going to happen…), he could not share any images. This means that Craig probably was allowed to share “2017” otherwise why wouldn’t he just share everything?
I guess we’ll find out if he’s correct in summer but remember, there is more to the Club Penguin team than just Spike Hike and Megg.
Update: Here’s some more proof that PSS releases in 2017. This was found on Craig Voight’s ArtStation and it clearly shows that what I said was no lie.

Discussion: When Disney Mix Began
Hey everyone,
A few months ago, Spike Hike released a #ProjectSuperSecret a sneak peek of Disney Mix. In case you missed it, Disney Mix is a social-media app yet it’s targeted at teenagers and kids as it has several filters. A question that I’ve seen asked a lot is when the development of Disney Mix actually began. Today I am going to answer that question.
You may remember Craig Voigt, the member of staff who recently leaked some #ProjectSuperSecret items and content. After doing a bit of research, I found his LinkedIn profile. This is what I read.
The image above states that March 2014 was when development of Disney Mix began but they are no longer adding to the app. However, that isn’t what I want to talk about.
One year before Disney Mix began development, Spike Hike made this tweet. Since Disney Mix was released, several people think that Disney Mix is what Spike Hike was referring to. Surprisingly, this tweet was recently deleted. The reason for this is unknown.
I don’t think that it would take a year just to plan for Disney Mix. I especially think this because just a few months after Disney Mix development began, Spike Hike made another tweet. This tweet showed a Disney Mix icon.
It looks like they did a lot in a few months. Why would it take little time to develop the actual app but so long to plan for the app? Don’t forget that Spike Hike could have been planning Disney Mix ages before the tweet he made on July 4th 2013.
This leads me to think that there are some more “great social things” coming. The LA Times recently interviewed Spike Hike (Chris Heatherly) and posted some information about their conversation. Included was a bit of information about what is almost certainly #ProjectSuperSecret.
Credit to Trainman1405 for this information (http://clubpenguinmemories.com) Perhaps there is even more social things to come from Disney? I guess we’ll find out soon!

Rant: #ProjectSuperSecret Release
Right, this is absolutely ridiculous.
Long story short. I emailed a Club Penguin 3D designer (Craig Voigt) and asked him if he had any information about #ProjectSuperSecret. Here was my reply.
Although I pranked you last time, I promise that this is no prank. I am furious with this. A PARTY LASTING FOR SEVEN WEEKS WHEN MANY SPECULATE THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE RELEASE OF #PROJECTSUPERSECRET IN JULY WHEN IT IS NOT? IS THIS LAZINESS?
2017?!?!?! They’ve changed it again! They said 2016! But this is from an official designer. I promise that it is fully real, unedited email. I don’t even know. You’ve disappointed me Club Penguin. Big time. This is a “should be”. Hopefully it’s out earlier.
If you wish to use any information on your blog, please give credit to Club Penguin Mountains AND Craig Voigt.

Discussion: Club Penguin Elections
Hey everyone,
You’ve probably heard of the Club Penguin Elections, an event hosted by Riyita, by now. If not, today I’m going to be talking about it and why I think they are absolutely pointless.
Basically, players in the community have been selected to represent two sides. From what I understand, there’s been no voting procedure and a couple of people have chosen in their opinion the best candidate. The candidates have already been chosen and there are big “debates” regarding certain issues. This is one of them.
Although this is fun, let me explain what I think is pointless. Having looked at the criteria of team selection, it’s things that all of us want.
Surely we want to see all of these things on Club Penguin? How do you choose which team to pick, when they are both great teams? Furthermore, if you win the “election”, you aren’t exactly going to gain anything. It’s not like these ideas will actually be developed.
Despite this, I think it’s an awesome event which I will take part in. To do this, I’m going to be criticising some election campaigns to really make this event more fun. Tomorrow, you should see the first post about this.
Good luck, nominees!

Discussion: #ProjectSuperSecret Beta-Test
Hey everyone,
Megg recently “confirmed” that there would be a beta test according to numerous blogs that I’ve read. Today I’m going to be discussing the comment actually made by Megg. Take a look at it!
I want to begin by talking about a “Geo-beta”. Every single website has said that this means we might be able to test a part of the island, however I disagree with all of that. I reckon that this means only certain people living in certain places will get the opportunity to test #ProjectSuperSecret. This makes sense too, seeing as how Disney Mix was released to Australia and New Zealand only.
Then again, it’s unlikely that we will be testing the whole island. But what if we don’t test the island? Although there will “most likely” be one, the interface already seems pretty solid and Club Penguin have probably already hired some game-testers after they laid off the 2D ones.
A beta test is likely, but it’s no different to a launch. I guess we’ll just need to be patient!

Exclusive Discussion: Why Disney Stopped Making Games
Hey everyone,
You probably have heard that yesterday, Disney announced that they would stop Disney Infinity and all other video games. Most people think that this includes Club Penguin but you have been fooled for years. I have known that this would happen years ago, yet I’m the only one who has posted this so far.
My Nintendo News recently confirmed what I have just said. Many people believe that this means Disney will be selling Club Penguin, however, with good evidence from Spike Hike, I can put all of your worries to rest.
Firstly, let’s pretend we did NOT have this decisive evidence. Although the games have been closed, there is no mention of any staff being laid off. Disney Infinity support also do Club Penguin support and without Disney Infinity, they can focus their full time on Club Penguin.
However, now it is time to present which 125 people have forgotten about. This picture says it all.
If you use any information revealed on this blog on your website, I would appreciate credit. Not one blog has published this since My Nintendo News made the announcement which is what makes it “exclusive”. Disney is most likely focusing 100% of their time and effort on #ProjectSuperSecret. Some could say that this tweet just hinted things like Disney Mix but let’s be honest, this is a big deal. Disney Mix isn’t so big a deal. They have Star Wars and Marvel, how could financial issues be the reason for the closure of Disney Infinity?
I hope now that your concerns are put to rest. This is good for Club Penguin, not bad.

Discussion: Money Made from #LegoCP
Hey everyone,
I recently read a post on Club Penguin Scoop about merchandise. Whilst doing this, there was a paragraph which I would like to discuss. This is about Club Penguin as Lego sets.
You might be aware that a few years ago, a penguin set out to make #LegoCP a reality, but unfortunately there were not enough supporters for Lego to view it. To learn more about this, click here. This is the paragraph written, which when clicked, redirects to the site.
Disclaimer: This paragraph has been shared under Section 30.1 of the 1998 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act It isn’t as easy as it seems for there to be Lego Club Penguin sets but this post makes it seem that it can be done in an instant. That is why not.
When #LegoCP was released, several moderators tweeted about it yet it never reached the ten thousand supporters needed for it to have a chance at becoming a set. Disney also couldn’t upload it to the What’s New Blog has you need to be over 13 to support it, unless you have a parent’s permission.
Support #LEGOCP!! I really want to see this set made!
— Spike Hike (@SpikeHikeCP) May 2, 2014
I support @LegoCP! Together, we will make this happen! I have plans to work with the community to MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Sound good? #LEGOCP
— Polo Field (@polofield) May 5, 2014
Furthermore, Disney won’t even make that much money from it as you only get 1% of the earnings. I was watching a Lego documentary the other day. A person who had a set made earnt enough money to buy a car. Not enough for a Ferrari but enough for a decent car. This won’t be much for Disney seeing how they make millions per a day.
It also needs to be created by Disney, otherwise they will make no money from it. This means that they need to dedicate their time to building each set, when they probably will just produce something similar to what Puffle Pal26, the creator of #LegoCP, did.
As awesome of an idea I think this is, I reckon that it’d be better if it stayed fan-built but got the promotion by Disney. Besides, Puffle Pal26 promised to give all of his earnings to charities that are supported from Coins for Change so it’s not even like Disney are losing money.
As you can see, that paragraph is quite inaccurate except for the fact that it would be awesome to see #LegoCP become a reality.

Discussion: Transformation in #ProjectSuperSecret
Hey everyone,
Today I have another discussion about #ProjectSuperSecret. Quite recently, Dj Stores pointed something out that’s quite interesting with the latest sneak peek released by Club Penguin. Let’s talk about this creature that appears in the video.
Who, or more precisely what, is that creature? Despite the fact that he has got flippers, it looks to me as the creature is a beaver. If we skip to the part where the music begins playing, then we can actually see what the front of this creature looks like.
In this shot, the creature looks a lot like a shark. This could be a total oversight. You can make out the penguin’s beak and the penguin’s flippers meaning that it could just be a normal outfit. However, what if it isn’t?
I think that #ProjectSuperSecret will allow us to transform into different creatures. Although the “Club Platypus” post by Club Penguin was an April Fools Joke, there is the slightest of chances that this hints possible transformation in the game.
This makes perfect sense. A Club Penguin Private Server called “Flippr” recently released a new feature which allowed you to turn into creatures that are not penguins. A CPPS usually releases such a thing when numerous people want to see it implemented as a CPPS is kind of an ideal version of Club Penguin.
What if Club Penguin also believe that their users want to see this? However, don’t forget that it might just be an item which means that this theory is ruined…Hopefully not though as I think that this will be a cool addition to the game seeing as how many people loved the puffle transformations at the Puffle Party.

Discussion: #ProjectSuperSecret’s Impact on Outfits
Hey everyone,
Today I’ve got yet another discussion on #ProjectSuperSecret, but this time, about something which I’ve not seen talked about before, and it’s something that I am slightly concerned about.
For the purpose of this post, I looked at an image that I took at a meet-up with the founders of Club Penguin on the 10th Anniversary Party. Have a look at the penguins in the red circles.
See if you can spot yourself in this image! I’ve noticed a few of Club Penguin Mountain’s viewers in it! (cough, Kat Here1 and Madzom8ie, cough) Look at how funny the outfits are. These are just a few of many more in this image. That’s what makes Club Penguin different from the real world. You’d never see a person dressed up as an elephant with a wizard hat and sunglasses on in reality, but it’s just the sort of thing you’d expect on Club Penguin.
Unfortunately, I’m no longer sure if that will be the case anymore. Having had a look at a sneak peek of the clothing customiser, it doesn’t exactly look like the outfits we see today.
This outfit just doesn’t look as creative and as wacky as current day designs. This is just one design out of thousands that we can make with #ProjectSuperSecret, but I am hopeful that we’ll still be able to create wacky outfits and designs, because that’s what Club Penguin is about. #ProjectSuperSecret is all about customisation.
That being said, I still think that #ProjectSuperSecret will let us keep our current items but they’ll be in 3D. Otherwise, why would it take so long to finish? There are thousands of items in Club Penguin, and it’ll take some time for them to be 3D. Well, a lot of time. But hopefully, there’ll be more wacky items than just our current ones.
