Councilor: New Chobots Status?

Hello Cho's!
If you guys don't follow the forums, or weren't online at the time of announcement, Jake came on using a different badge than his Chief Admin badge.  As you may know, many questions were asked as soon as they saw the transition.  Well, we asked Jake some questions, trying to figure out what it was that was on his playercard.  He finally gave us an answer, to which he said that a new Councilor status is soon to be coming to Chobots.  Basically, what the Councilor status is, is a system where the chosen Councilors (known as a counsel) can come together and come up with ideas for changes and improvements in the Chobots community.  Their role is to make ideas of improving Chobots to be a better community for it's players.

Taken from Eathan's forum post


How can I become a Councilor?

Be elected by your designated group
The Council will consist of 8 total members: 2 juniors, 2 citizens, 1 agent, 1 journalist, 1 moderator, and 1 administrator.  The following groups are responsible for how the Councillors are chosen:
Jr. Junior Councillor - General Community
Sr. Junior Councillor - Testing Team
Jr. Citizen Councillor - General Community
Sr. Citizen Councillor - Forum Team
Agent Councillor - Agent Team
Journalist Councillor - Journalist Team
Moderator Councillor - Moderation Team



You will also stay a Councilor forever until you are inactive for at least one month (4 weeks), break rules, or if you resign from your position.  I feel like this will be a great goal for everyone to strive for.  What are your thoughts about this new status/system?  If you have any further questions that need to be answered, please check out Jake's FAQ post for more information.

See you soon!
