Hey everyone, buckle up and prepare yourselves because we're about to celebrate a major milestone! 🥳 Today, we're thrilled to announce that Friendly Gamers is turning one! 🎂 It's been an incredible journey filled with fun events, hilarious moments, and unforgettable friendships. Let's take a trip down memory lane and see what we've accomplished in a years' time.
Themed events
To start this extra-long post up, let's take a look at all of the themed events that we've had since last year! Now, you may notice that we were planning some sort of storyline connecting or themed weeks before we became a Club Penguin Army...And that's because we were actually trying to! Read below for a brilliant recap of what happened!
Space Week
Ah Space Week, where it all began. We took liftoff into the wonderful galaxy in both our discord server, and this is where we started to explore boundaries of what we (our moderation team) can actually do. During Space Week, we had many extra-terrestrial events. To start us off, we flew by a neighboring galaxy that offered skribbl.io! After that, Advisor Mogi4 took us out of this world to watch the movie Sing 2! (skipping a few events) And then as all hope seemed bright when we were making our way back home, some space invaders from the Space Invaders Challenge event attached to our rocket and caused the thrusters to malfunction. We crash landed into an unknown planet that was full of water.
April Fools Mini Event
For this themed event, we decided to shake things up a bit! We flipped all the role names and colors upside down – imagine normal members becoming creators and Jakob being the sole owner of the Friendly Gamer role! 🙃 It was absolutely hilarious watching new members join in and trying to figure it all out! 😂 Also, during this event, we hosted the Easter Invitational chess tournament that current Senior Moderator Sebzy won!
Water Week
🌊🚀 It looked like we had crash-landed into some mysterious planet. Stranded in the unknown, we were on a wild adventure. Who or what lurked out there? There was only one way to find out! 🌌 The mysterious planet appeared to be all water, so we dove in! We did some crazy stuff—water-themed art contests, a skribbl.io showdown, and an intense round of Kahoot! And how could we forget our underwater mini golf session in Atlantis? ⛳️ But as the week winds down, there's talk of strange broom sightings... Something's brewing, folks... He's on his way...🧹👀
Harry Potter Week
🌟 We've made it back to Earth... or have we? It felt like we landed smack dab in the middle of Hogwarts' parallel universe! 🪄 Bi-daily newspapers, house point competitions—yep, it all happened! And who could forget the chaos caused by none other than Voldemort himself? That Broom Conundrum had us all on edge! 🧹 But amidst the mayhem, we had some epic event competitions! From agar.io challenges to wizarding word searches and even a Gartic Phone showdown—there was never a dull moment! ✨
Halloween 2023
👻🎃 Halloween season is here, and guess who made his grand entrance? It was none other than Satan himself! 😈 He was a mission to take over Friendly Gamers, but we didn't go down without an epic fight! 💥 And to up the scare factor, we added a temporary category to the GG Archives: Terror Tales! These are no ordinary tales—they're true stories that'll send shivers down your spine. Dare to take a peek? 😱 In the end, we rallied together and successfully defended our server against Satan's onslaught. He's nowhere to be seen, but the spooky memories linger on! 🕸️✨
10 Days of FG
🎄🎁 Who said Christmas has to end in December? Not us! While it might not be December anymore, let's take a moment to reminisce about the epic event we had. It was unlike any other—each day brought something new and exciting! 🌟 From festive Christmas grams to spread joy among friends, to diving into our Spotify Wrapped 2023 channel for some musical nostalgia, and let's not forget about the epic Christmas profile picture collage! 📸✨ Who says the holiday spirit has to fade away? Let's keep spreading cheer all year round! 🎅🏼🎉

Frickle Runs Jakob Over
No need to elaborate. The picture's intensity is such that the aftermath of the tragic event it captures remains unseen. Its shocking nature serves as a stark reminder of life's fragility and the suddenness of change, leaving a lasting impression on us all. Quoted from ChatGPT.
