Hello Cho's!
I hope your week is starting out good, and what else could make it better than another agent meeting!  That's right, it's time for another agent meeting!

Hello Cho's!
About a week ago, the team stated that they were looking for their monthly journalists, and they have finally given us our new October Journalists!  Congratulations to each of the following users and their blogs that have succeeded their Journalism goal!

Bacachoo's Chobots Blog
Minion's Chobots Experience!

Congratulations once again to everyone who achieved journalism!  Don't be sad if you didn't get journalism this time, new journalists are picked every month, take the time and the opportunity you have now to make your blog the best it can possibly be!

Hello Cho's!
Garbage is starting to pollute the Chobots atmosphere again, and you can help!  The staff has opened up a Garbage Collector contest to see who the three biggest helpers will be.

Hello Cho's!
My apologies for the lack of posts the past few days, I've been busier than I expected, but I'll be sure I keep the blog updated for everyone!  I won't be posting the posts that I missed because I am pretty sure that everyone has already seen them, so I don't want to flood everyone with posts that may have been seen by a majority of the community already.  Once again, my apologies, I will be keeping this blog running!  Thank you for your patience.

Hello Cho's!
It's a brand new week!  Let's get you caught up on all the things happening around Chobots!

First off, if you don't remember this challenge, we failed it last time due to a big amount of trolling throughout the community.  It's a Tree Day challenge!




Speaking of challenges, the Chobots Team hasn't challenged us to a game of Hangman and Pictionary in a while!  Well, worry no more!  The Chobots Team would like us to join them on Wednesday and challenge us to a few games of Hangman and Pictionary!




Next up, it's that time of month again - Journalism!  Journalism is a big goal for most of our Chobots users, and anyone would love to have their blog showcased by the staff themselves.  Journalists work hard to make their blog as perfect as it can possibly be each month, since the staff refreshes the journalism team about once a month.

• Their blog is added to the main blog's sidebar
• Their blog is advertised at the time of the play window each time a user logs on
• A badge with their blog's name is added to their playercard to show off their accomplishment
• They are able to post one post on the Chobots official blog
• They are able to send a staff member a Private Chat even when the staff member's playercard is blocked
• They will receive a feather, 10000 bugs, and 7 days of citizenship for their hard work
• Your in-game name tag will be turned to a purple background color

Hello Cho's!
It's September!  A brand new month means a bunch of brand new contests, citizenship packages, and a clothing refresh!  The team has brought in a brand new shipment of clothes that they are sure that we will enjoy!

Hello Cho's!
After looking through all of the entries for two competitions, the team has announced the 3 winners for both competitions!  For the drawing competition, you were asked to draw a picture about going back to school, since school has recently started up!  The drawings were all phenomenally great, but there could only be 3 final winners.

Hello Cho's!
Are you an artist on Chobots that feels like that you could beat someone in a 1 on 1 doodling challenge?  If so, you'll love this event!  It's called Doodle Day!



What is Doodle Day?
Doodle day works kind of like this:

• We will meet in the Artist Underground (Not the Agent or Citizen undergrounds), and prepare for a doodle competition between the artists and staff members.
• The wall will then be separated into two (2) halves.  One side will be for a staff member, the other for an artist.
• A staff member gets to choose the topic of what to draw, like the example "music".  The staff member and artist will both draw something that has to do with music.  The only thing is they will be timed.  
• After the selected time limit runs out, the users in the room that aren't participating in the contest will get to vote and choose who has the better drawing.  If they choose the artist, they could receive something very cool!

Hello Cho's!
I hope you like music, because the staff has another fun-filled event that you'll enjoy!  Tomorrow, the staff will be holding an event that has formerly been known as Wednesday Music Jam, but has been been renamed to Music Bash!  If you're interested in this event, meet the staff at Rockemall Street tomorrow, Thursday, September 12th at 8:00 pm Cho-Time!  There will be music from your favorite artists, and genres of all kind!  There might even be a few surprises...




Don't forget to bring your instruments with you, and have fun!

Hello Cho's!
I missed an entire day of blogging, and I missed a lot of updates!  Let's get right into some Chobots news that you should know about!

First off, there is a new Comic Contest on the main blog!  The staff thought it's been quite a while, so why not?  Make sure you use this template below

Hello Cho's!
Daisy has been really lonely lately, and hasn't had anyone to feed her hay!  Because of this, the team has started a farming contest to help keep Daisy happy, and keep her fed!

Hello Cho's!
A few days ago, Alyssa, Coby, and Mike hosted a fun game of Hide and Seek!  Before beginning, the moderators had some fun hanging out with the other Chobots.  Unfortunately, whenever the moderators started hiding, it caused a lot of lag on the server, and were unable to log on again to complete their game.  However, two moderators were found, which means, there were two winners!

Hello Cho's!
I hope you guys are ready to dress like one another, because the staff is hosting a new type of party - a Twins Day party!  Grab a friend, and dress like a twin!




Hope you have fun, can't wait to see you there!  Who will you dress up with?

Hello Cho's!
We all have our favorite game throughout Chobots, such as Sliders, Checkers, or maybe even Coins Rain!  Well, since the GameZone is a Chobots gamer's number one gaming fun, the team thought it would be fun to hold a contest solely for the GameZone!  The scoreboards for each game in the GameZone have been turned on, and people are already racking up their score!

You will have until Friday, September 13th to rack up the highest score you can!  Since there are 5 games in the GameZone, and ll 5 will be open for competition, 1st and 2nd place will both receive a prize for their score!  Good luck, and of course, have fun!

Now onto our party review of Mike and Coby's Dubstep Party!  First off, the party was amazing, and the magic and music were both amazing!  The social interaction at the party started out good then slowly died down, but Mike and Coby both kept the party going by having everyone dance to their favorite dubstep song!  Here are some screenshots from the party!



There was no rain at the party, which is of course ok, because who really needs rain at a party to have fun?  All in all, this was one party that I wish would've just kept going!  I really hope that Mike and Coby do something like this again in the future, because it seemed to get a lot of people away from Cafe Street!  Great job to Mike and Coby for hosting an amazing party, I'll definitely make sure I try to attend the next one!

In the past few weeks, more and more of the community has gone back to school, and are only left to reflect on the memories of summer.  I hope you enjoyed your summer, because many of you had some really awesome memories from over the summer!  The staff chose some of the best summer stories, which are listed below.

Hello Cho's!
While there may be tons of artistic users in our tiny community, it never hurts to show your true potential!  With school recently starting for most users, the team thought it'd be a great idea to hold a Back to School drawing contest!  You are permitted to draw either on a computer or in real life.  Make sure you upload your picture to a picture sharing website, such as Tinypic, or any other site that can give you a direct link to your uploaded picture.  Make sure you comment your username along with your picture, because, as always, the best drawings will be rewarded with some neat items!


Make sure to keep your drawing in the theme of "Back to School"!  You have until September 12th, so take your time, and don't rush it!

Also, due to technical difficulties, we were sadly unable to play Hide and Seek with Alyssa last time.  But not to worry!  The Hide and Seek game is going to be re-scheduled!  If you enjoy hide and seek and enjoy prizes, then you should come play!



An extra tip from Alyssa:  Moderators and staff members can move themselves, and make themselves invisible, as well as can even transform into a body (such as the Star) and can make the game more difficult, so if you've looked everywhere, double check!

Hello Cho's!

Hello Cho's!
Our board games contest ended recently, and many players have shown that they have the strategy and skill to take on anything!  Our winners of the competition used strategy, skill, and maybe a little bit of luck to be called one our best board game players of this competition!  Below is a compiled list of the winners with their selected board game they participated in.

Hello Cho's!
I hope you had fun at the fashion show!  It was really great, both ToastyTim and Jake ($100) made it very enjoyable, and I'm glad I was able to make it!  Shortly after the last round of the fashion show, Jake told us that he had a little announcement to make.



Yes, that is right!  Mike is our newest moderation staff member!  I've known Mike since my early days on .net, and he's been such a great help and a great friend.  So with that, I'd love to extend my congratulations to Mike, as he has worked hard for this position!



Here is what some people had to say about his promotion:

"MIKEY MOUSE!  I'm so happy for you, you deserve this and have for a long time!  I can't wait to see the great work you do in the team!:)" - Twirl

"awesomely done mike! we know youll make a great mod!" - Camera

 "Congrats, buddy! You really deserve to be a mod and I'm sure you'll make a great addition to the team! :D" - Alexander

"'  CONSWAGULATIONS MIKE! '" - Fangirl9091

 "OOO WELL DONE MIKEY U DID I SO PROUDDD" - Randomzzz

Once again, welcome to the team Mike!  You'll do great things as a moderator!  Many members of Chobots threw Mike a mini "congratulations" party.  I have no screenshots, but it was still fun nonetheless!

Hey Chobots!
I'm sure most of your favorite things to do on Chobots is socialize, play games, and all the fun right?  Then there's some of you that love the fashion aspect of Chobots!  That's why Alyssa and some other staff members have decided to host a fashion show for us!

Hello Cho's!
The team has scheduled a new shipment of items to come into our Chobots shop, and they're finally here!  The clothes added really compliment just a casual day on Chobots, or makes you feel like a king!  Here's what the shop now has to offer:

Hello Cho's!
Summer is sadly coming to an end, and most of us have probably started back to school in the past few weeks.  Well, the team thought it would be a great idea to throw a little back to school party for us to get a start on the school year!

Hello Cho's!
There were some new competitions announced today!  The team thought it would be a great idea to hold an in-game competition before everyone started to go back to school.  But what can be better than one in-game competition?  How about three!  Your summer was probably spent having fun and eating a bunch of food!  Well, for these competitions, you may want to have a good brain and strategy to win!  Yes, the team has decided to open up the leaderboards to the Sliders, Checkers, and Chess games, all located at Academy Street, as well as inside the Academy!

Hello Cho's!
August has been filled with a bunch of amazing things so far, such as music jam parties, black and white parties, and now, a freshly stocked premium items shop!  Some items were in here previously, but nonetheless, many brand new things were added, and they look amazing!  Let's take a look:

This is the citizens items category.  Keep in mind that only citizens can use these items.  These are some really neat items they have in this category!  I can't come up with a favorite item for this category, they're all equally amazing!

**Update**:  The "No Dating" rule has been re-instated.  Punishments to your account will occur if seen dating on Chobots.

Hello Cho's
Recently, there have been a few internal meetings with staff, as well as consulting with councillors, and the staff has finally concluded that a change to the rules is in order.  Administration has spent much time on discussing on which rules they would wish to change or remove from the official list of rules.  After talking with a select group of Chobots, the staff has finally decided which rules they would like to omit from the official list.

• Advertising - Promoting websites that have no relation in Chobots in any way.
• Asking for agency - Asking a moderator to become an agent without any signs of working for it.
• Asking for items - Begging and annoying other users by constantly asking for items of theirs.
• Controversial discussion - Talking about touchy topics such as religion, sexuality, etc.
• Asking for gifts - Begging/annoying users for free gifts and items

Hello Cho's!
As most of you know, I was unable to make Music Jam on Wednesday due to school.  Due to me missing it, I am not able to post a proper recap post to it.  Not to worry though, a recap with everything that went on at the Music Jam party has been posted on the main blog here.  I do have the winners from the "Best Music Outfit" competition!  These Chobots made amazing styles and instruments combine into one amazing style, and I do have to say, they did a fantastic job at doing so!
