Asteroid and Robofactory Winners

Hello Chobots!

This week has been extremely eventful! To get you in the Halloween spirit, the Chobots Team have been working hard these past few days to bring exciting updates and features. Meanwhile, the users of Chotopia were busy competing in two Gamezone contests. The two popular mini-games, hosted last week, have now ended. This means it's time to find out which players came top three:

Asteroid: Twixie (1st w/ 3,783 pts), Blaine (2nd w/ 2,670 pts), Firexavina (3rd w/ 1,526 pts)
Robofactory: Bebot (1st w/ 7,504 pts), Kerem (2nd w/ 6,384 pts), Katara (3rd w/ 4,102 pts)

You all did a fantastic job! Congratulations to those Chobots who shot the most asteroids in their spaceships, and those that aimed the coloured gearwheels most accurately. You will receive the following prizes:

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

We appreciate your participation and hope you enjoyed playing these requested games. If you didn't win this time, don't worry, as there is always a next time and many more will be arranged in the future. Tell us what you think the next competition should be in the comments section below!

That's all for now,

More Halloween Updates + Party

Hey Chobots!

Before we begin, The Chobots Team would like to share a special video with you all in honour of Halloween. Below is the video clip of "This is Halloween", a Chobots cover by our talented Katara. For this excellent CMV demonstrating fantastic video editing skills, she will be rewarded a camera!

Next, the catalogues have been restocked with Halloween items and costumes for you to dress your Chobot in. These special occasion clothes arrive in the shop only once a year - I suggest you purchase them now before they're gone! 

Lastly, we are celebrating Halloween early this year! Calling all witches, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, zombies... Join us for a spooky celebration on Saturday, October 24 at 7pm cho-time. Expect there to be rain, fog, lots of scary magic, and music at this un-boo-lievably fun party! Let's get ghoulish and have a spooktacular time! 

12pm PST, 3pm EST

So be sure to invite your friends, and don't forget to come dressed up in your best or favourite Halloween costumes! 

We hope to see you there,

The Chobots Team

Gamezone Contests & Announcements

Hello Chobots,

You suggested and we listened! As promised for this next round of contests, we've decided to host an Asteriod and Robofactory contest - the two scoreboards have officially opened, so head on over to the Gamezone right now to start competing! Good luck to all contestants, you have until the 24th of this month to rack up the most points. There will be rewards for the top three players.

With that being said, there are several more announcements to be made. Moving on, I'd like to personally congratulate our three newest agents: Bebot, Katara, and Twixie. Welcome to the team! I admire how hardworking you've all been as such helpful members of the Cho community.

And of course.... Halloween is in less than two weeks! The Chobots Team would like to remind you that not only will The Reaper shower you with Halloween treats if you complete his quest, but so will Choproff, and Samantha (to name a few) will reward you. These can be exchanged for cool items (work in progress), but hurry, as these offers will only last for so long.

Have fun,
Katic

Halloween Updates, October Drawing Contest

Hey Chobots!

With Halloween nearing, the days are only growing spookier and spookier! If you hadn't already noticed, the air is suddenly misty, fallen autumn leaves scatter the ground, pumpkins and cauldrons have appeared, the shops and streets are haunted by trees, creepy crawlies & swarms of bats have taken over - but worst of all... Nichos roam free! Doesn't the world of Chotopia look prepared for this year's Halloween with its spooktacular decorations? Let us know what you think!

The Reaper

Also, you may have stumbled across a very mysterious, dark cloaked figure in the park. The Reaper seems intimidating at first, but is in need of your help so have no fear when approaching him! In other news, there is a new quest for you to now complete; discover what you can exchange with The Reaper by returning his bats immediately after finding them. 

Moving on, we've decided to host a drawing contest because we know how wonderfully gifted you all are as artists! Of course, a requirement is that it must be halloween-themed. Here are a few important pointers to make clear what is expected of you:

•    It has to be related to Chobots and to Halloween
•    You can draw using anything you like, as long as it is a piece of art! Some ideas for you to use: hand-drawn drawings on paper, graffiti on the underground walls (in-game), programs or software platforms for creating graphics like Adobe Flash or Photoshop are acceptable too
•    Use any medium of your choice; it's entirely up to you
•    You're allowed to be creative!
•    You may submit more than one entry; as many as you'd like
•    Please upload it to tinypic.com or imgur.com and provide us with the link so that we can all view your terrific drawings

With that being said, you have until the 12th of October to enter an entry/your entries in the comments below; send us your illustrations for a chance to win a special, cool prize! Though remember to read over the rules, and please do not copy or take credit for another person's work.

Good luck and have a fantastic week,

Katic and Shadow

Chobots Racer Contest

Hello Chobots,

I have some exciting news for you with me today! As you can guess from the title of this post, Chobots Racing has officially begun. Bring on your gear, show us your skills, and prove that we Chos are faster drivers than the Nichos in this fun Chobots Racer contest!

Let the contest commence! I suggest that you head over to the Space Quay now to start earning points - see if you can reach level 10 or aim for even higher for more points. You have a little more than a week to become the best Chobot racer, as the scoreboards will close on the 27th of September. The top three will be rewarded with sweet prizes, good luck to all! Also, please bear in mind that a contestant caught cheating will be disqualified. Do report to support@chobotopia.us if you find Chobots acting unfairly.

Have fun racing,
- Katic on behalf of the Chobots Team
