Website Improvements

Hey Chobots,

We here at Chotopia have been hard at work and are excited to announce our new website!

Along with the new website theme, you will notice a new feature called "My Account". Here you can change your Chotopia account settings and password. The 'Family' feature will be discontinued early next month.

Sometimes things aren't working right and we want to let you know when they aren't. With Chotopia Status, you can stay up to date with important announcements about outages and scheduled maintenance.

We'd love to hear your feedback! Send comments or concerns to support@chotopia.us and we'll reward you with 5,000 bugs! Don't forget to mention your player's name.

Have Fun,
The Chotopia Team

Christmas and New Years Party Recap, Game Night

Hey Chobots!

The party hosted by the Chobots Team was a blast! It featured rain, amazing magic, entertaining music, and lots of dancing by tradition. Thanks to all attendees for making it so enjoyable and fun! Were you not able to attend? No worries! Here are screenshots from the party in recap (Thanks Hero, Katara, and Bebot for providing these!):

Also, the Team hosted Game Night for the very first time as to conclude the final event of this 2015 year. Meaning, all Cho minigames were opened for an hour and only 1st placers were prized! Thank you again for joining us this evening, and we hope you had loads of fun! And don't forget you still have time to submit an entry for the Scrapbook Contest.

That's all for now,
Katic

Sweet Battle Champions, New Contest

Hey Chobots,

The Sweet Battle competition has now ended, and there are some cool rewards to be handed to the winners! Over the past few days, our users have been fighting against their friends (don't worry, it was all in a friendly nature) to place number one out of the three competitors! Below are the names of top three contenders whom dominated in this game without cheating, as well as the rewards they earned according to the position they placed.

In 1st place came Kerem with 16.58 points
Tied for 2nd place were Kadyn and Sergio with 7.27 points
In 3rd place came Geraldine1 with 6.58 points

•     1st place: 9 days of citizenship, 8,500 bugs, 15 candies
•     2nd place: 7 days of citizenship, 7,000 bugs, 10 candies
•     3rd place: 6 days of citizenship, 6,500, 5 candies

I have to say that this contest was incredibly close, it just goes to show that a couple more points can really make a difference. In this case, it could've completely changed the standings of second and third place. Thanks to all participants for playing this round, and well done to the winners!

P.S. Chobots, here's another opportunity to win prizes! We've started a Space Racing Contest - the last in-game competition to expect of 2015! Head over to the Space Port Square now to get started, you have until the 31st of December. Cheating is not allowed, so be sure to report any suspicious behaviour to support@chotopia.us with visual proof. 

Until next time,
Katic

Christmas Drawing Contest Results

Hi friends!

It has been three weeks since a drawing contest was opened, and after taking some time to review your entries, we've had to pick three winners that we thought were the best in showcasing creativity and the festive season! Before I announce the winners, I would like to say that it is admirable how hard you all worked on these entries as I was personally blown away by the thought that went into them. Although there are only three winners for this contest, this does not define your artistic ability. It's clear to me you are all artists. In the future, there will definitely be more opportunities for your potential to be recognized. Without further ado, the following have been rewarded:

3rd place: Hicup! You win 7 days of citizenship, 5,000 bugs, and 5 candies.

2nd place: Clayton! You win 10 days of citizenship, 7,500 bugs, and 10 candies.

1st place: Natsu! You win 14 days of citizenship, 10,000 bugs, and 15 candies.

All winners shall also receive a paintbrush for their artistic accomplishment.

Thank you to everyone for participating, especially those who submitted more than one entry; it was a joy to see such fascinating artworks. Once again, don't be discouraged if you did not win this time — new contests are always announced here, so your chance will arrive one day. Make sure you have the motivation to get there!

That's all for now,
Lava

Santa's Arrival

Hey Chobots!

Santa has flown in on his sleigh. This winter, he has landed at the Space Quay and upon completing his quest, you will receive a surprise gift; a special Christmas item! 

If you haven't already, go help him recover his three missing bells now! Also, Santa will gift you something different each week during his temporary stay.

That's all for now,
