Movie Party!

Hey Chobots!

Do you like watching movies or TV shows? How about dressing up as your favorite characters? Well you'll get a chance to do that at our upcoming Movie Party!

At this party, we want you to dress up as your favorite character from your favorite movie or TV show! We will have a great time listening to music and enjoying animations, and maybe even some rain!

The Party will be held April 17th at 18:45 (6:45 PM) Cho-time. We will be meeting at the Cinema on the server Chocolate!

If you're having trouble figuring out when the party will be, here's a countdown clock to help you:

*UPDATE*

Since the servers have been changed since this was posted, the party will be now held on the server Milky-Way. Sorry for any confusion.

See you guys at the party!

Who's the best at Chopix?

Hey there!

We came up with an interesting competition idea. Instead of just having competitions based on the mini-games found in Chobots, we are introducing Quest Competitions! These will be based on your performance in the in-game quests (such as Chopix or Chistochob). Yay!

We've added a new scoreboard for the quest-competition right above Chopix! If you hover over it, you will see the scores for the current competition, as usual.

Now, you have two days to play as much Chopix as you can. Those with the highest scores will receive citizenship, bugs, and rewards.

The competition will end on April the 15th!


Good luck,
Jake

Journalists, Journalists, and more Journalists

Hey guys!

This month, the process of picking new journalists and deciding which ones to let go was even harder than before! We were so amazed at all the amazing blogs that our Chobots players have, that we almost ended up with having 25 journalists in total. Of course, we had to raise our expectations, but this is a sign that we have some real talent in the community. Good job to everyone!

The next phase of the Journalist program will consist of the following players:
- Bebot
- Bluezorogirl13
- Cati886
- Drytoby
- Eggs
- Lisa09 and David09
- Perfectlexie and Flapiefeet
- Smiley
- Twinklefairyx
- Vasa12345

Congratulations to you and your fantastic blogs! You have impressed us all, and you should be proud! But it's not over yet -- you still need to keep your blogs active and up-to-date during the month. We'll be checking it out often.

Now, we want to announce the next part of being a Journalist. We feel that we should give some part of the community more control over the blog, so we're introducing the Elite Journalist. This is a new rank given to users that will be able to regularly post on the official blog. To be able to qualify for this rank, you must have been a Journalist for at least 2 months, and you should show superior blogging skills. You do not currently need to be a journalist, though.

Two Elite Journalists will be chosen at the beginning of each month. If there is a large demand, we will even add a third Elite Journalist midway through the month. If you are being considered to be an Elite Journalist, you will be contacted by the Chobots Team and more information will be given to you.

Well done to everyone! We hope that we will keep seeing your amazing blogs grow and become even better.

Stay safe,
Jake

Clothes Refresh!

Hey Chobots!

How is your weekend going so far? After a few cold months, the Winter is over, and the Spring has begun. The snow has melted long time ago, the wind is warmer and it doesn't rain so much anymore.

Since it is not so cold anymore, I thought that we should get rid of all the warm clothes and add a bunch of new items to the shops! The in-game shop has been restocked with 15 new items! Take a look:


Some of the items are for juniors, and some of them are for citizens. Most of the items don't cost too much, so you don't have to save up a lot of money to purchase them!

So what are you waiting for? Let's go to the shop and purchase some new items!

Have fun,
Yaniv

Games Weekend: Review

Hey gamers,

How was your week? Last week we had a busy weekend, don't you think? If you don't remember what was last week; we had a huge games weekend event!

On Friday, we played hide and seek with more than 50 people! Zoo, Curiosity and I were hiding around the Chobots world, while the other Chobots were searching for us. All I can say is that Zoo found some better hiding places than me...

After a few rounds, the main event was over. A few hours later, our moderators were coming online and hiding, so Chobots will look for them.

On the next day, Saturday, everyone gathered near the graffiti wall, and we all played pictionary for a while. We saw different and unique pictures; some of them were easy to guess and some of them were a bit harder.


And finally, our final event was on Sunday. We came to the underground again, to play Hangman!
At first, the staff members played hangman with the other users. When they left, the agents could host their own hangman game and award users with bugs.


And that is pretty much what happened last weekend. I hope that every one enjoyed!
April is a big month, and we have more cool events planned for you, so stay tuned!

Have a nice week,
Yaniv

Agents Only!

Agents of Chobots,

We ask you to join us for the monthly Chobots Agent Meeting. We will be discussing recent events on Chobots, future parties, sharing sneak peeks, and of course... agent recommendations. We think that it's very important to communicate with our agents and to receive feedback from the most trusted users.

This meeting will take place on 13th of April 2013, at 4:30PM Cho-Time! Below you can see a countdown.
Agents, be prepared!
Jake

April Journalists

Hello Chobots!

The month of April has arrived, and it's that time where we once again look for people who have what it takes to join our journalist program! Here are a couple of requirements to be part of this program...

•     Your posts on the blog should be creative and unique - you have to write your own posts, not just copy them from a different source like the official blog. However, you are free to use the pictures that have been used in the posts on the Official Blog.

•    All of your posts don't necessarily have to be about Chobots- you can write about different things like a journal about anything you want. For example, write diary entries, publish interviews, write stories, collect information, report gossip/news 24/7... anything!

•    Your blog must be at least a month old and your blog should be updated at least twice a week.

Being a journalist comes with some great rewards! Rewards such as:

•    Journalist badge on your playercard with your blog title
•    The possibility for your blog to be featured on the play page
•    Your blog will be featured on the Official Blog
•    Moderators will bookmark your website!
•    You will be invited to write one blog post on the Official Blog.
•    You will be added to an exclusive mailing list to receive all the behind-the-scenes information and news before anyone else does
•    One free week of citizenship in the beginning of the month.
•    Automatically receive the feather item
•    PC moderators even though their card is blocked
•    Purple nametag

Submissions will be open from now until Friday, April 12, so you have some time to comment your blog link in this post. Once the Chobots Team goes through all the entries, we will pick the journalists for April! All current journalists don't have to resubmit their blog.

Have fun and good luck,

Coby
