Staff of the Week: Bean
b2 : What makes you love being a staff member?
Bean : Who said I loved it? /j
Honestly just having the ability to be nosy is all worth it, but I guessssss the people are good too.
b2 : Did you expect to get staff of the week this week?
Bean : Not at all, in my opinion theres WAY better options than little old me. I think whoevers in charge is just trying to get a discount at beans beanstore
b2 : Anything else you want to tell us about yourself (or just in general)?
Bean : Darling hold my hand. Nothing beats a beans beanstore flash sale! Right now, you can save 50 silver per person. Thats 200 silver off for an army of 4
Recruiter of the Week: Chey
Pingo : Tell me a bit about yourself!
Chey : A lot of you know me, but if you don’t I’m a Marine Corps Veteran’s Wife. I have two kids Melanie (Age 7) and Tucker (Age 3). Love cartoons, amusement parks, and almost everything from the early 2000’s era. Kid at heart. So I’m one of those sweet cool moms you can talk to when you don’t wanna talk to your own parents.
Pingo : As someone who played Club Penguin in its early stages, How was it like? Did you ever walk into any CPA events?
Chey : I was 8 or 9 when I started playing Club Penguin soon after it first came out back in 2005. To me Club Penguin was this fun magical place that I just couldn’t leave behind even when I started getting older. I was online all the time, so I’m very surprised I never got the chance to see any CPA events or I would have been apart of the community a lot sooner. Totally devastated when Disney shut it down back in 2017 but I was there for the final moments.
Pingo : When did you join the Water Vikings? Were you in any armies before discovering us?
Chey : Actually didn’t start in Water Vikings. I joined Discord back in summer of 2020 while I was playing Club Penguin Rewritten. Had heard about Discord so I was curious about it being right above my screen on the game. Clicked it and made an account, eventually I get a random dm from Bigman (Joel) asking to join a server. Since it was Club Penguin related of course my answer was yes. Turned out to be this CPA called Marines ran by Revan. Couple months later we merged with WV and I’ve been here since.
Pingo : Considering your IRL, how do you seperate your time in such a way you can still attend for WV?
Chey : Well I use to attend every event when I was a stay at home mom for a couple years during covid and then I went back to working and I’ve switched my schedule several different times just to be here. Between parenting, working 2 jobs, cleaning/cooking/laundry, and maintaining a relationship I still make it a priority to attend as much as possible.
Pingo : Would you say that your IRL hinders your availability online?
Chey : Yes a little bit. Would I love to be able to put in a full 100% everyday here yes absolutely but I can’t so I do as much as I can and hope that I’ve contributed enough each week.
Pingo : Ive noticed that you’be been recruiting for a while? How have you improved with recruiting over the years?
Chey : Honestly I used to suck at recruiting like I have over 100 alt accounts that I got locked out of just from trying. I’ve taken the time to get the basics that Cotton taught me down and the rest of it was with Bullhour help. Watched a video and boom it clicked for me after that. Now I have over 3,000 recruits.
Pingo : What motivates you to recruit and to be in WV?
Chey : WV has become like a huge part of my life over the years and it means a lot. The people I’ve met that have came and gone thru here are amazing and there are so many of you that I care about even if we don’t talk your in my prayers and thoughts so this is what motivates me to keep continuing my time here and helping to keep it alive.
Pingo : What would be your favourite activity to do in WV?
Chey : Besides events I like when we play Scribble together. If we could bring back Cards Against Humanity and Trivia game nights that would be activates at the top of my list.
Pingo : Do you have a memorable moment/event in mind?
Chey : There are so many! My earliest memories of my time here were when Change was leader and you would hear his key board in the vc.
Pingo : If there was anything you could tell to the entire COMMUNITY, what would it be?
Chey : I love you all, FEAR THE WAVE!
Chatter of the Week: Kyros
Noa : Tell me a bit about yourself, Kyros! How long have you been in the Water Vikings?
Kyros : 11 months! It’s been a long time since i joined and i never regretted choosing WeeVee
Noa : Did you expect to get Chatter of the Week this week? Considering there is a very long history of Ango receiving the award
Kyros : i did not, i thought ango was getting it but looks like i broke his streak
Noa : Who would you say is your favorite person to chat with inside the server? Better yet, what encourages you to stay so active?
Kyros : everyone in the Water Vikings is my favorite but if i had to choose then it’ll be Ango The Mango. unemployment encourages me…haha. But to be for real, it’s the staff team. i see every staff member active and get motivated to chat more and more
Noa : That’s amazing to hear, good stuff Kyros! Last question! Do you have any advice for new members of the server when it comes to chatting? I know there are quite a few shy recruits and cadets out there who would love a little push!
Kyros : my advice is, dont be shy! everyone in the Water Vikings family is friendly and kind, so you shouldn’t be shy! no one will hate you, everyone here likes new members !
Noa : I think that is wonderful advice! Thank you very much for your time and answering my questions! Congratulations again!
