Important Announcements (please read)

Hi friends!

It has been such a long time since I've spoken to you guys, and I have truly missed each and every single one of you! I have just returned after retiring months previously; however, I will now be working closely with Shadow, as well as with the rest of the team, to help improve and make Chotopia the best experience for you all. There are many announcements that need to be said though, so hopefully I will get to catch up with you all personally at a later time.

To start off with, we are now hiring. Our top priority as of currently is to make sure that we, the team, are working at full capacity without any dead weight. This being said, we are now looking at hiring 1-2 moderators who know that he or she would be willing and devoted to helping us make Chotopia great again! Before filling out the application, please make sure you read over any requirements to understand and meet all the criteria. If you are interested in applying for this position, click here.

We are also hiring a product tester, someone to test out new features for the upcoming mobile version of Chotopia, so don't hesitate to also fill out an application here, if interested. Again, before filling out the application, please make sure you read over any requirements to understand and meet all the criteria.

All applications will be reviewed thoroughly by myself and Shadow. Responses to applications are only sent when we are interested in possibly hiring you (this means that if you do not receive a reply back, it is because we feel that you do not meet the criteria). Also note that both applications require you to have an in-game account, so please make sure you have or make one!

Moving on to our next discussion, we will be having an Agent poll very soon!

Over the rest of this week, the staff and I will be on the lookout for users deserving of this title. Agents are recognized for being wonderful role models, assisting users and always finding a way to help create more fun within and out of the game. On this post, you may comment below and recommend up to two people who you think are worthy of receiving the agent badge. The two users who receive the highest amount of votes will be added to the Agent poll, which will have other users picked by staff members only.

We suggest that you do not pick your friends, but rather vote for someone who truly deserves this recognition. Also, recommending yourself is also not allowed, so don't attempt to as we will be checking!

We will be accepting all recommendations in the comments below until March 4th. Any votes afterwards will not be accounted for in tallying up the community's top picks.

Finally, we have a winner to announce for the Throwback Art Contest! After closely reviewing all applicants, it was noticeable that our community has some talented users; however, we could not grant all recipients rewards for their incredible artwork. So, without further ado, please congratulate the following winner...

Honey

You will receive 10 days of citizenship, a paintbrush, and a Valentine's jet pack. Magicman, who was the runner-up, will receive 5 days of citizenship and a paintbrush for creativity and uniqueness. Congratulations to you both, and enjoy your prizes!

There are many planned events and new features for you all upcoming in the near future, so stay tuned! I'm so very excited to be back, and I can't wait to see you all next month in March!
