February Air, Throwback Art Contest

Hey everyone!

It's been quite some time since the last blog post, and I'm sorry about that. The rest of the staff and I have been very preoccupied with events in our personal lives. Our developer Phil has been busy with designing something very special for your electronic devices! Keep your eyes peeled for further explanation when there'll be new information to put out about this surprise in its own blog post. Let's continue on with more enticing upcoming events!

Have you checked your calendars lately? Hopefully you've switched them to February. I know I always forget to switch my calendars until it's far more into the month. Hopefully you guys aren't as forgetful as I am! I'm excited to announce a new contest! Can you guess what the theme will be?

February 14th, depending on who you are, can be a very romantic, or lonely day. Some like to call Valentines Day "Single Awareness Day." Whether or not you're spending it alone, I have a task for you! This is going to be an art contest.

We're going to kick it off with a little throw back! Do you remember the original Chobots game, Chobots.com? I hope you do for the sake of this contest! If not, you can google it, there's plenty of pictures out there. For this contest, you will have to draw any of the old moderators (of your choice). The drawing has to be Valentines Day related, and contain appropriate themes. You can also chose to not draw an old Chobots moderator, but draw in the vintage style of the old Chobot look! Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's an example I found from the internet!

The original Chobot character design before it was changed to the current design in 2010 was very different. The eyes and figure of the body was much more round than the current design. This isn't a picture of the actual design, but a drawing based off of it (BONUS because it's Valentines theme!). 

To sum up the contest:

•       Draw a chobots moderator from Chobots.com 
•       Must be related to Valentines Day (Or "Singles Awareness Day! Be creative!)
•       Or Draw a Chobot with the old 2009 design 
•       Drawing must be appropriate
•       DUE: February 28th. Winners will receive citizenship, paintbrush, and a rare item.

Now last but not least, there is going to be a very special event held this month. I'm hosting a romantic dinner party at MY house! Here's the greeting card:

10 PM Cho-time is 5pm EST, 2pm PST.

February 18th is a Saturday.

You must receive an in-game invite from me, or anyone else at my house. The restaurant is on the second floor of my home. I hope you all can make it. PLEASE do NOT forget to dress formally, otherwise, our servers will not serve you. Don't have a decent dress or tux in your wardrobe? Not a problem! The shops were updated with formal wear clothing. Check them out. There's even some never-seen-before items in there as well. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. Best dressed will get an honorable mention on the blog. For this occasion, you ARE allowed to bring a date. Keep the language appropriate and just have fun! We will move to the Cafe half way through to celebrate as an after-dinner celebration. The theme will change to a "club" theme, but keep wearing your fancy dresses and tuxes! At the Cafe there will be drinks, music, rain, and plenty of magic!  

I can't wait to see how this will turn out. I hope to see you there!
