NORTHERN LIGHTS, UKAHALA—It’s official! RFCP’s traditional semiannual award show is back yet again for another round! To hype it up, this points recounts all the facts on the origins of this incredible event, and announces details for the upcoming one!
It’s about time!
The Feddies Award Ceremony has been the Recon Federation of Club Penguin’s take on the Oscars and a staple of RFCP culture ever since its inception back in August of 2019! At each show, we bestow awards from over 20 categories to our incredibly hardworking and deserving soldiers via public user voting, using the totally unhackable Google Forms. (We don’t have much of a budget, Gen. MicroHam keeps wasting it on new microwaves).
However, to some of our newest soldiers, the Feddies is a strange concept. So what exactly are the Feddies and how did the RFCP start this twice-yearly tradition?
During the Golden Age of RFCP, back in the summer of 2019, a soldier came up with the idea of having RFCP’s very own award show. After all, if celebrities could do it, what was stopping Prior? On July 28th, 2019, the first of the Feddies was announced to the #news channel with a lineup of awards for both soldiers and allies alike. This award list soon evolved into a full-blown roster accompanied by an entertainment show, and this became a tradition every August and January. The first Feddies occurred on August 11th, 2019 and had 4 sequels! This August will be the 5th semiannual Feddies!
Of course, the Feddies haven’t always been smooth sailing. From the second Feddies on, there have been suspicious scandals known as Feddigate (a combination of “Feddie” and “Watergate”).
Some of the awards lineup changes every year, but there are some classic awards that have stuck around, such as the RFCP Legend award: the most prestigious award (the equivalent to Best Picture if you will), which has been won by Commander Prior Bumble, obviously, retired General Tumbling, and Commissar Hamster. Other standout awards include the CollinZFresh Peace Prize (named after Prior Bumble’s own PRA Commander), the Warrior Award (for extreme bravery), The Innovation Award, (for new army innovations), and the Reconnaissance Award (for extraordinary recon work). This time around the list will have 27 awards, being:
1. CollinZFresh Peace Prize
2. Warrior Award
3. Innovation Award
4. Reconnaissance Award
5. RFCP Legend
6. Patriotic Trooper
7. Most Dedicated Patroller
8. Shopaholic
9. Dankest Memer Award
10. RFCP Vampire Award
11. Sleepyhead Award
12. Funniest Officer Award
13. Scariest Officer Award
14. The RedbackAWARD
15. Sunshine Award
16. Fashionista Award
17. Savvy Status Award
18. The Harbinger of Chaos
19. Golden Pen Award
20. Golden Paintbrush Award
21. Chatterbox Award
22. Nicki Minaj Award
23. Sussiest Baka Award
24. Mad Mod Award
25. Biggest Rise Award
26. Officer of the Year
27. Soldier of the Year
After voting on a theme for the event, the soldiers ended up choosing a disco motif for the venue this time around. The ceremony will be hosted Saturday, August 7th. There will be various surprise guest hosts and of course our very own Prior Bumble will make an appearance to hand out RFCP Legend!
The best part about the Feddies? To choose who will receive each award, we will host a Google Form with each of the categories where YOU can nominate someone or something for each category. It is very important that you fill out this poll in #news as soon as possible! There will be a second poll later this week to choose the winners from these nominees. We need YOUR nominations!!!
Who will win the Feddies this time around? It’s up to you to choose. Well, as long as a fourth Feddiegate doesn’t come around to mess it up…

As the RFCP approaches its second anniversary, it is time to reflect on our past, present, and future. Join us as we celebrate our extensive army history with a HUGE week-long celebration, culminating with an even BIGGER party on June 5th!
A Brief History of RFCP
Prior Bumble: the man, the myth, and the legend (literally) who started it all. Sure, we all know that! But what some of our newer members may not know is the story behind the incredible founder of the RFCP. Â
Picture this:
It is June 5th, 2019 at around 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. On a warm, early summer evening, one dark purple penguin decides to log onto Club Penguin Rewritten, unaware of the incredible legacy that he will begin within mere minutes. Waddling into the Command Room of the Elite Penguin Force, he decides to spend the evening playing the classic Club Penguin tower defense game, System Defender. While playing the game, he notices that the table in front of him has filled up. All but one seat at the Command Room table is taken…
Our predominant purple protagonist naturally takes the seat at the head of the table. The room goes quiet, as confused penguins look at one another, anxiously wondering what will happen next. One brave voice emerges from the silence: “Uhhh, someone say something.”
These four words sparked a fire inside of our hero. Taking a deep breath, Prior Bumble knew what needed to be done. With his most authoritative voice, from his days as Second-in-Command of the People’s Republic Army (PRA), Prior began barking out orders to the rest of the penguins at the table. Instantly captivated by his dominance, penguins began flocking from all over the island to follow his orders. Cries of “Sir! Prior, sir!” resonated throughout the EPF room, as these followers engaged in these tasks based on strategic spying missions. The Recon Federation of Club Penguin was born: named after the militaristic spying operations that characterize reconnaissance.
Within days, the RFCP’s following became too massive for in-game operations, and a Discord server was created to better organize the strategies of the organization on June 11th, 2019. The organization’s first major conflict would occur shortly after, when it seemed that the RFCP had competition with a new gang: The Mopia. When these light blue penguins began taking over the sacred land of the iceberg, the RFCP would not sit idly. Â
With force, and then diplomatic action, being taken to reclaim the sacred ground, the RFCP had cemented its legacy as an army to be reckoned with. Soon enough, Prior Bumble and the RFCP sealed the deal by entering the Club Penguin Army Community as an official army. Â
The rest is history!
Note:Â The history of the RFCP is much more extensive than what is listed here, visit the RFCP history page here to read the complete history.
Celebrating 2 Years of RFCP
Most armies fail to survive their first week or even month. But the Recon Federation’s major accomplishment of surviving 2 years even throughout countless conflicts is a cause to celebrate! Several RFCP veterans who remember the first anniversary celebration vividly have come together to plan an even greater celebration for our amazing troops who make our incredible army possible!Â

Many of these events stem from the culture and lore of the army, such as an original EPF-styled roleplay, a reenactment of our first war with the Lime Green Army, and a celebration at the official restaurant of RFCP: Lucky’s Bar! Join us for these incredible moments of history!
Interview with Prior
Q: How does it feel being the founder of an army that has reached 2 years of activity?
A: I am full of pride. Many armies created in this modern age do not survive more than a few months if not weeks. RFCP is a bold and historic exception. Our longevity, in the face of unprecedented opposition, is a miraculous and powerful achievement that no one can take away from us.Â
Q: When you originally created RFCP, were you expecting it to turn into a legacy?Â
A: Goddamn right I was.
RFCP Fun Facts
The triangle in the center of the RFCP flag is not red, as is commonly thought. It is actually a shade of reddish brown-hex code #862007 to be exact!
The army that the RFCP had the most wars with was the LGA: with a whopping total of 3 wars IN A ROW!!! (We won them all–even LGA, now our ally, concedes this).
While the RFCP has had 3 people take the role of Commander throughout its history, there have been 5 people with the prestigious role of Commissar, 2 of which unprecedentedly held the rank at the same time!
Ever wonder who has the most roles in the entire army? That honor goes to General Sillabye who has an INCREDIBLE total of 71 roles!!!! Generals Anilia and Microhamster come in next with 60 and 58 roles respectively. Oddly enough, our own Commander Coolj only has 37 roles!
