Well, this is the end of the road for Club Penguin armies and the Golds. When I founded the third generation of the Golds almost 8 years ago, I never would have thought that I would later be writing something like this. But, I couldn’t leave without giving this army a final sendoff, so here it is.
The Golds may have never been the largest army in the community, but we made up for that with our toughness. We never backed down from a fight, and we were never afraid to fight for what we believed in. Everyone who put on the Golds uniform became part of something great. Each and every one of us should be proud to have called ourselves one of the Golds.
It is upsetting that because the game is now dead, we will never be able to return and reminisce with each other in the same capacity we once did. This is really it, it’s all actually over now. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing left. Far from it, really. The fact that the Golds accomplished what we did will always be there. There will always be pictures, videos, archives, and hopefully this site to look back on as a testament to our time here. But perhaps more importantly, there will always be our memories and friendships from our experiences in this army. Whether we acknowledge it or not, the time we spent in the Golds, and armies in general, has become part of us as individuals. It’s an experience that we will all carry with us for the rest of our lives, which may sound stupid at first, but it’s really not. Because we all had great times together, laughed together, got collectively pissed off at other armies and people together, we all know what we accomplished here in the Golds. Pretty much everything that happens in CP armies, we experience it together, and that bond with others is why this will remain part of us forever. It may not show itself in 10 or 20 years from now, but it will still be there, and that’s truly a beautiful thing. Personally, I believe I will always remember the Golds and the people in it.
On behalf of all the leaders, thank you to anyone who ever put on the yellow uniform to serve the Golds Army of Club Penguin, and helping shape the army into what it was. It has been a pleasure to serve with all of you.

Today, we are all Golds legends.
Goodbye, my friends.
