Garbage Party!

Hello Chobots!

We didn't have an in-game contest for a long time, don't you think? Well, I think that it is the right time to have one!
Chistochob is on a vacation, and he can't clean the city, so he needs your help. That's why we are hosting a Garbage Collector contest! All you have to do is to collect garbage, so Chistochob won't have to clean the city again.


The contest ends on Wednesday,  September 5, 2012. So if you want to help, you got 5 days.

Did you know that some of the staff members would like to play Garbage Collector with you? That's why we are going to host a party! Here are the details:

Date: Sunday, September 2, 2012.
Location: Space Quay.
Time: 14:00 (2 PM) Cho-Time.

Good luck everyone, and I hope to see you at the party. And remember, don't cheat!

Chobots Beach Party; Review

The party like no other!
Yesterday night over 100 users came online to party with Ashely, and the Chobots staff. The party was hosted at the beach in Pineapple city, as you can see above the Chobots were pretty excited!

During the Beach party Ashely and Jake rained a whole bunch of neat items, including some rare items like this Scarf; which wasn't suppose to be added to the stores till' November! MotherCho also stopped by adding some magic to the party. After the rain stopped and the sun came out Ashely decided to host a "Best dressed for summer" contest; picking 3 winners for the best summer outfit. User's who won the best dressed contest were Farhan123, Vilt, and Amoona. The 3 winners received 5,000 Bugs to set them for the next season on Chobots!

A huge thanks from the whole Chobots team to everyone who came and support this event leading us to plan more for the near future. We really couldnt have planned anything better to celebrate a great summer on Chobots.net!

The picture below answers the following question (What's your favorite game on the internet?)

Back To School, With A Scrapbook Contest!

Update: Please post a link to your entry in the comments below. If you can't, please send them to support@chobots.net .

Hello Chobots!

August is going to end soon, it is almost September, and it is the time for the Chobots to return to school.
I think that the summer vacation ended too fast, don't you think? Well, I'm pretty sure that everyone did something interesting this summer. Why don't you tell us about your summer vacation?

Here's what you have to do: Make a scrapbook of your summer vacation and what you did, or something else similar to the topic.
First of all, you will need this template:

Click to enlarge.

Right click on the picture, and click on 'save'. Then think about a story, and add it to the picture using a pictures-editing program such as Photoshop, MSpaint, Paint.net, Photoscape, etc. You can also add pictures to your scrapbook, so the scrapbook will look 'happier' and more creative.

Recently, I re-made the cover of the scrapbook, so if you want to make your scrapbook even better, you can make a cover for it and add it to your entry.

Click on enlarge.

The contest ends on Saturday, September 1, so you got 4 days to enter the contest.
This time, the prizes for the winners will be revealed only on Saturday, when we will announce the winners.

So good luck Chobots! Can't wait to see your scrapbooks. :)

August Video Contest Results!

Hi all!

This weekend the team and I have spent our time going through all your wonderful entries for the August video contest. This month's video contest theme was citizenship - you had to create a video which promoted the advantages and benefits of being a citizen. There were some very talented video editors who took part in this contest, and it was a delight to see their creations. Good job to everyone who entered, you all get 1000 bugs for your hard work and efforts.

Grabbing the first place is Nightmare! He made a very creative and unique video advertisement for our citizenship packages. Our team liked his video so much, we decided to embed it on the official citizenship page at http://chobots.net/citizenship. Good job! Nightmare receives 7500 bugs, citizenship and a camera.

In second place, we have ComeBacKiid, congratulations! ComeBacKiid combined his creativity and GFX skills to produce a fantastic quality promo video for citizenship. He also added a very relevant and catchy tune in the background. Fantastic! ComeBacKiid receives 7500 bugs, 4 days of citizenship and a camera to show off!

Following up the top two we have Shadow03. He created a very informative and entertaining video featuring many Chobots users. Shadow03 receives 5000 bugs and 3 days of citizenship for his good work.

Everyone else who entered in this video contest receives 1000 bugs for their effort. The team and I were very happy seeing so many Chobots offering their help to each other and making their videos turn out great. Good teamwork, everyone!

Thank you!

Albert

Hangman!

Hey guys!

I think it's been a while since we had a game of hangman, don't you agree? Hangman is one of my favorite games to play with you guys. Plus, I always tend to give out a lot of prizes to the winners.

So, why don't you meet me this Sunday at 4 PM (16:00) Cho-Time by the Agents Underground? I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.

Enjoy,
Jake

Have Fun With Everyone!

Hey Cho's!

I have a tip for you!

My tip for the day is not to waste your time on Chobots. Don't just sit at Cafe street and wait for things to happen. Take the initiative and make Chobots better for everyone. You could throw parties, fashion shows, go play games, help others, and make new friends. Honestly, Chobots isn't fun if you don't do anything so if you're going to be on why not use the whole interactive experience. Don't you think that playing with friends is better than sitting in the Cafe St? I have a challenge for you. Try and get 80-90% of the people out of the Cafe St. and into another room or house. I think that would be a nice accomplishment. Try and get everyone online involved! :)

If you can do it, post a picture of the house/room and the cafe because I'd like to see. It's not necessarily a contest... I might give away something to the person with the most barren Cafe St. and the most populous room.

PS. If you're going to try and win something... while you're taking the screenshot I suggest that you scroll over the map (the server name pops up) so I can really tell. :P

Keep on keepin' on,

Jump

G'day Mate!

G'day Chobots,

The Australian research has come to a close and I was very impressed. You all do know a lot about Australian animals! We all had a very tough time picking the winners. I wish I could choose all of you. Without any further ado, here are the Koala Research Winners!

I loved how Cathan's entry was very eye catchy. The entry was very simple to understand and there were very interesting facts.

I loved the style of Yumi's entry! A very beautiful drawing and title definitely made me stop and look. I loved the blackboard you put in as well. A very great job.

Smartiera's entry just blew me away! Lots of color and pictures drew me to this report. The use of space was excellent and I loved your title.

I loved the colour/color of Mirajane's entry. Your use of words was different from a lot of the entries and that's what made it stand out. The picture of your chobot and a koala is superb. Great job!

All the Koala winners will receive 5 days of citizenship, a scroll and 5000 bugs!

Congratulations to our winners of the koala event. If you were not picked, don't feel down, as there will be plenty of more chances in the quite near future. Now let's see who won the kangaroo event!

The use of creativity of Artistkidz entry was amazing! The content was easy to read and the use of space was excellent. Artistkidz wins 5 days of citizenship, a scroll and 7500 bugs!

I loved the bouncing kangaroo animation for Blik3's entry. It made it stand out, because no body else did an animation. The text was simple to read and very eye catchy. Great job. Blik3 wins 7 days of citizenship, a scroll and 7000 bugs! 

The first thing I looked at with Critic's was his fantastic drawing skills on our art walls! How great do they look? The facts were excellent and was spaced out very well. A fantastic job. Critic wins 5 days of citizenship, a scroll and 6500 bugs!

Dean showed that he knew a lot about kangaroos! The color scheme was fantastic and the facts were great. I also loved how he showed the kangaroo's footprints. Dean wins 4 days of citizenship, a scroll, and 6000 bugs!

Weren't they some amazing entries?! The team and I all had a very hard time. Like I said before, don't feel down if you did not win, as we'll have some more contests coming up soon.  

See you soon!

Hello Chobots!

This week I have been looking for some stylish Chobots with colorful themed outfits, and I have found some great styles!

Queorp is always very stylish and creates some unique outfits full of creativity,  it's a great detail that he is using his special "Chlos" body purchased from the $hop. 

I like Hummingbirdvani's colorful style. The wings and dress looks great together, the whole outfit is matching very well. Indeed a nice outfit you have, Hummingbirdvani!

Cheweh looks cool with his outfit in different blue colors, do you think he is holding a scroll in his hand because he is getting ready for school?

Cathan is wearing his very colorful basia suit, it really matches the colorful fashion theme this week. Nice outfit! Cathan is a chotastic artist, have you seen some of his great drawings? You can see one of them here. 

Deliiciouzz has a great outfit, it looks very nice with the different colors, especially the umbrella in many colors. His alien pet looks sweet too.

I absolutely love the way the colors in Vasa12345's style blend together, the accessories are fabulous!

I have rewarded you all with 2,000 bugs to buy new stylish clothes and 15 Cho Energy. I will be looking for some musician themed outfits next time, here's an example of my own musician outfit.

What do you think of this week's stylish Chobots? Feel free to comment if you have ideas for style themes in the future!

Have fun,

Koiz

Tips of the Week

Hey Cho's!

Alrighty well I'm newly posting on the blog and I will now be posting the tips of the week every Wednesday so keep a look out for new upcoming tips to enhance your gameplay!

Well, my tip of the week is for gaining your Agent status because in the email and in our Skype I've been personally seeing a lot of Chobots aiming at becoming an Agent, but coming at it the wrong way. 

First of all, I'd suggest not getting help from anyone once you know that you want to become an Agent. I would not use anyone to try and make yourself more 'popular' or know people. You need to do it for yourself. It will show us that you're independent and you can handle yourself on your own. 

I'd also like to inform you that asking to be a Moderator or Agent does not show that you can do the job. Applying on the other hand is a good thing! I would encourage applying especially for our Agents. But Cho's, if you email about why you didn't get the job, do you think that's showing that you're mature enough to handle a no? You should probably just do better and and apply again the next time a job is open. 

Honestly, I think creating a name for yourself is good so try and be the best Chobot you can be. Be nice all of the time. You should help everyone and make it your mission to make the game better for every Chobot no matter if they are a nicho or if they are a good Chobot. Help them with anything they need. 

This may not always be needed but if you want some personal advice from me, I think that creating your own style helps. I like to see one person that makes themself look cool and collected with his or her own look. It's definitely not going to be something that will make you an Agent by any means but if all Cho's know you, you'll be the one that they ask ALL of the time.   :)

I hope the advice helps!

Hey Chobots!

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been looking for some stylish Chobots with summer themed outfits and I am very impressed by all the styles I have seen while walking around the Chobots world.

I like this outfit a lot. Evesmarty looks like a country summer girl, the green and yellow colors look perfect together, this is indeed a nice style!

Emilia's summer themed outfit is looking great with a flower in her hair and a paint brush in her hand, do you think she is going to make some summer drawings? I hope she will, she is a very good artist.

This outfit is really cool. Lololol1 is looking sporty with his red headband, it looks like he's going to catch some butterflies with that net. I wonder if he caught any yet. 

Theclimbmiley has a great summer outfit, she looks stylish with a lot of different colors. And she's even prepared with her umbrella if it should start raining. 

Kaicooper is looking great in red as usual, have you noticed that he is always wearing something red? It looks like he is going to Hawaii with his Hawaiian shirt and flame wings, have you ever been there? It seems like an awesome Island.

I like how Sweetypie22 put her clothes together with the colors matching. It always gives a positive effect seeing a smiley, nice T-shirt! 

I have rewarded you all with 3,000 bugs to buy some new stylish clothes! I will be looking for some colorful themed outfits next time, here's an example of my own colorful outfit.

What do you think of this week's stylish Chobots? If you have any ideas for new style themes in the future, make sure to comment!

Have fun,

I'd like to know what you guys know about these fascinating creatures, and I have some awesome prizes to give to the best ones I see!

Hey Chobots!


Today while walking around the Chobots world, I have seen many stylish Chobots with some cool outfits and wanted to share them with all of you.

This style is full of creativity, I really like how Supportful used a black bow and T-shirt to make it look like a whole new shirt, very impressive! 

User looks like he is ready to explore the world! Have you noticed his cool hat? The concept was made by himself, great job User!

I am very impressed by this style Comebackiid has been wearing today, it looks amazing with the colors matching each other, the butterfly backpack really completes the style.

Do you like blue? Seems like Saifoo likes blue a lot! I think Saifoo's style rocks, he sure knows how to make blue look chotastic.

Program is a very stylish Chobot. This black and white style is very awesome, it looks great how she put her clothes together. I think Program has completed giving her outfit a look full of effects!

Sacora's outfit looks very sweet, the fishing rod and underwater background looks great together. It looks like she's gonna go fishing at the beach!

I have rewarded you all with 3,000 bugs so you can buy some more stylish clothes! I will be looking for some summer themed styles next time, here's an example of my own summer outfit.

What do you think about this week's stylish Chobots? I think they all did an amazing job!

Have fun,
