Hey, I was a voice actor and producer for season 2. Just wanna clear something up; CPS is not coming back. And if it ever somehow does, it won't be with the original cast and crew, as the creator was outed as being a complete and utter weirdo towards his younger fans. Once that was out, everyone who was working on the show, including myself, left the project. So as it stands, the series is dead, and never returning.

I am 100% convinced that LiLJEFFY is only a child since he only talks in emojis, and his username does sound like something that a child would come up with, and when he was eating the mushrooms he seemed unaware of the effects they have, and he does seem a lot more innocent compared to the rest of the characters, and he fully believed raising his hands in the air would give him powers, well maybe at least the person who play as him before the game shut down was a child.

This comment section is a mess. We have former animators coming out about how NHI was exploiting them for free labour, allegations of him being a creep (with photo evidence), and all he denies it all. He denies it despite a callout document made by a former admin of his discord, and despite someone with credits in a couple of episodes willing to provide more proof. NearHumanIntelligence is NOT beating the allegations - this can't stay swept under the rug forever.

I never had a discord for one, I never exploited anyone for free labor, fans who asked for a role in the show were given one at their leisure, and the photos are a stretch and out of context. It’s all overblown for the fun of outrage

Question: Why is eating puffles a bad thing? Puffles are animals and this is an apocalyptic world that's hard to get food in, so it only makes sense to hunt animals in an attempt to avoid starving.

It’s on the viewer to decide. The group who was eating them didn’t think it was such a bad thing

[@saphirestorm7952]

@@NearHumanIntelligence And I agree with that group, there aren't many animals in Club Penguin who don't have penguin-level intelligence and with their level of intelligence it'd be like eating a bird which most people do anyway.
