Poetry Contest Winners

Hello Chobots,

It's been a while since we started the poetry contest, and now it is time to announce the winners!
Out of 30 amazing and wonderful entries, we chose 3, that in our opinion should win.

First of all, we got Billybubble, with a great poem about the Autumn in the Chobots world.

It's Autumn, it's Autumn,
it's Autumn time on Cho!
The leaves are falling off the trees
look at their color-now orange it is!
Chistochob is after them -
cleaning all the streets,
my friends are buying candies,
costumes and asking 'trick or treat'!
We've got a lot of parties -
all spooky, fun and fashion shows,
so dear please don't ask me
'What's Autumn?' - it's magic time on Cho!

Second of all, we got Isabelle, with a wonderful poem about about the leaves, wind and all the other amazing stuff that happen in the Autumn.

Third of all, we got Thelolmonster, with an awesome poem about the Autumn.

As I sit, the day goes by,
From tweeting birds, to buzzing flies,
The autumn trees, the bright blue sky,
My surroundings are alive.
The orange leaves off orange trees,
On the ground, an orange glow they leave,
And all around me, I can see,
Different colours, bright and free.
The wind blows gently against my face,
As if holding me in it's embrace,
The clouds glide slowly, at a fixed pace,
Across the sky, they move with grace.
I never want to leave this spot,
But I know soon the ground will rot,
It will be cold instead of hot,
But I will wait until I have to stop.

Excellent job Chobots! Each winner will recieve 5 days of Citizenship, 5000 bugs, and a Pencil (hand item).

Unfortunately, we caught 8 people that cheated in this contest; privacyman, isuarez, lolz234, masteroid, mychemical, appelpoppet098, pascallswirls, tinagothic67.
As you can see, we know about every chobot who cheated. I hope that you will never cheat in contests.

Video Contest Winners.

Hey Chobots,

A while ago, the Chobots team decided to host a video contest. All the entries were great, but only 3 video makers can win. It's time to post the 3 winners!

We liked Struty's Video, because of the great storyline. Your introduction and music went along quite nicely.

Miarose's entry was amazing. We loved the use of sound and the characters were also very well ploted.

Blik3's entry was simply amazing. It's fair to say that you have an amazing talent in the area of movie making.

Congratulations winners, you have been awarded with 14 days Citizenship, 4,000 bugs and a camera item each. Enjoy your prizes!

Make sure to keep checking for new posts, the poetry contest winners will be announced soon, good luck to everyone who entered that contest!

Agent Poll Results.

Hello Chobots,

As you know, the agents had a meeting. During the meeting, they were asked who deserved to go onto a poll. You guys then voted for who you thought deserved to get an agent badge. From this, the top 2 chobots who received most votes have been made agents.

Those chobots are Supportful and Randomzzz. Congratulations guys, I think it's fair to say that you deserved your badge. Welcome to the agent team and I'm sure you'll do a great job.

For Adster015, Brian1king, Carmel1011, Isabelle, Lamby and Spencer20, I'd like to congratulate you on making the poll. Unfortunatley, you missed out on an agent badge this time, but who knows? There's always next time.

Once again congratulations to our new agents.

See ya around!

November Journalists

Hello Chobots,

It has been a few months since we chose new journalists to the Journalists Program, and we think that it is time to let some other people with great blogs be journalists too.

If you don't know about this program, then let me explain.
The journalists program is a special program that awards different bloggers for having great blogging skills like template designing, posting unique posts with your own content, and many other skills.
Chobots who are Journalists get some cool features, that other people don't have:

•      You get your own Journalist-badge for your player card, at the bottom
       right corner.
•      Your blog will be added to our blogroll in the blog sidebar.

To become a journalist, you'll have to follow at least one of the following things:

•      Publish your own content on your blog (Post on your blog with your own
       words - don't copy the content from other places like the Official Blog.
       You are free to use the pictures from the Official Blog in your
       posts!)
•      Be active on the Community - in-game (By helping people, being nice, be
       aware of all the latest updates and news in the game) and out of the
       game (post often on your blog, post on the forum, reply to the tweets
       from the official Twitter, reply to the posts on the official Facebook page).

To become a Journalist, leave a comment with your Chobots username, and a link to your blog. We will review all the blogs in few days, we will choose some Chobots to become Journalists and we will announce them in a new post.

Note: If you want to become a Journalist, your blog has to be atleast 1 month old. Also, you have to post on it at least every 2 weeks.
Former Journalists will have to re-submit their blogs!

So that's everything for now. Good luck Chobots, I can't wait to see your great blogs!
