Scrapbook Contest Winners

Hello Cho's!
Our scrapbook contest winners have been announced, and it's time that they are recognized!  If you don't remember, the scrapbook contest theme was "How I spend my weekend(s)".  There were many good entries, but these three entries were picked out by Julia as the winners of the contest...

First Place - Vasa12345

Second Place - Sweeets

Third Place - Hydra


Great work to all the winners of the contest, and great job to everyone who participated!  Vasa and Sweeets will win 1 week of citizenship, 5000 bugs, and a medal.  Since Hydra created both a cover and the scrapbook, he will receive an extra 1000 bugs, along with the same prizes Vasa and Sweeets received.  Remember that if you didn't win this time, then there is always next time.  I hope you all have a great week, and see you soon!

Stay safe!

Shop Update

Hi Everyone!

If you've been looking for an update for your wardrobe then  no worries! The shop has new items added to it! These items can compliment any Summer look and I'm sure you'll all like the items!


Luna's Hot Buys- 
From the 10 new items listed in the shops, I personally like the Hawaiian shirt! It's a great "main piece" and can compliment an outfit very well! I love the flowers and all the bright colors! It's a great piece to have for your Chobots Summer wardrobe.


Bacachoo's Hot Buys -
Out of all the items I personally like the Hawaiian shirt because it brings out the most "summery" looks

What's your favorite item(s)? I'm excited to see all the new outfits around Chobots. The creativity will be endless!

Have fun shopping!
Luna

Your task for this is to find out some interesting things about our buddy Chopix and present him as a newspaper article.

Tip from Maya: Try focusing on 3 main points and make sure you can elaborate on them! Be as creative as you can!

The winners are judged on creativity and most detailed. 

The contest will last 6 days and end June 20th so be sure to submit your article here. If posted anywhere else it will not count. The winners will get some pretty rad prizes so don't delay!

Cya around and best of luck!

New Contest: Research Contest!

Hello Cho's!
Yes you read the title correctly:  There is a new contest!  As summer is coming up soon for most of us Chobots users, the Chobots team has organized a research competition!  You have one week, which means from June 10th to June 17th, to write about the season of summer, and give some interesting information.  All writing must go on the template below.
Template
It's as easy as that!  But you must remember:  You must write all of your information in your own words.  Copying and pasting onto the template from websites is considered CHEATING.  Any user that catches another user cheating will be rewarded with bugs.

Happy writing!

Agent Recommendations + Agent Meeting!

Hello again Cho's!
A fresh and brand new main blog post was just posted!  It's that time of the month again, agent recommendations and an agents meeting!  First, let's discuss the agent meeting.  The agent meeting will be held on Saturday, June 8th at 15:30 Cho-Time.  The agent meeting IS NOT mandatory, but it is highly recommended that you attend if you can.
Saturday June 8th- 15:30 Cho-Time


Now, let's talk about the agent recommendations.  You will have 24 hours to recommend Chobots that you think are worthy of agency.  This includes being active within the community, enforcing the rules, helping others, etc.  Don't recommend people just because they're a friend or if they ask you.  Only recommend people YOU think are worthy of having an agent badge.  A countdown for both of these events can be found here, or if you want to comment your own recommendations, this will be the place you are required to do it.  That is all for now!
Until next time...
Bacachoo
**EDIT**:  Recommendations have ended.  Any recommendations past this point WILL NOT be counted.

New Forum Legends + Game Night

Good evening Cho's!
Let me start off this post by congratulating our three new forum legends:  Destrotant, Alexa, and Egotisticalslug!  They have been very active on the forum, and they post terrific content in helping others, as well as creative posts!  Congratulations to these three Chobots for their new Forum Legend ranking!


Please welcome these Chobots when you see them online!

Now, lets shift our attention over to game night.  Game night is a night where all the games in Chobots will have competitions, and you can compete on any game you like!  Game night will be held this Saturday, June 8th, at 21:00 Cho-Time (9PM).  Before contests start, there will be a party held in the Robots Arena at 20:30 (8:30PM).  If there is any confusion, you can view the official Chobots blog here.  Hope to see you there!
Until next time...

My Artistic Side

Good afternoon Cho's!
Today I was feeling bored, and I started thinking about what kind of drawings I always used to make back when I played chobots.com (It shut down a few years back), and I came out with this
It's not the greatest...
I know it's not the best drawing ever, but it's better than what I can normally do, so I'm proud of it :3  I know it's a short post, but I just thought I'd share it.  Anchor will be posting the Cho-Idol results when they are released, so be on the lookout for that! 
Until next time...

Music Party Recap!

Hello Cho's!
As normal I was sitting in Cafe Street and I was doing something on another website.  Well, I randomly heard music start playing, and whenever I looked back at Chobots, Coby was there!  Coby stayed for a while and we danced and jammed out to a bunch of songs and wacky tunes!


Some pictures taken by me during the party!
No, I did not forget to take screenshots this time! :)  As I already stated, we rocked out to a bunch of songs, and then later on Sheridan came and joined us!  It was a really fun night, and I wish you could have been there if you weren't!
Until next time...
