Hey guys,

This will be a quick post - Chobotical has released into open beta! Nothing else to say, so go join!

Hey guys,

Chobotical is due to release very soon now! According to the official Chobotical Twitter account, the game is set to open within the next three days!


Are you excited? I'll make another post once the game has officially released!

Hey there,

          I'm sure all of you know by now, but Chobots.net has come to an end. We all had fun at times but in the end the staff were very corrupt and it was losing popularity. However, this is not the end of the Chobots game as we know it. There are already tons of private servers out now where you can play together with your friends. Most of these server owners don't know what they're doing, but there are a few good ones. I won't be linking to any of them however, but you can surely just search and find some to play. Also, there is a new game coming out called Chobotical, which is said to eliminate all corruption and make it a game for the players, where the staff pick no favorites and everyone is able to have fun. Of course, one of the main problems with .net is that it was basically just a struggle for power and higher ranks. However, with Chobotical it can hopefully become a fun game again. If you want to learn more about the game, you can visit the forums. It has been said by an administrator that Chobotical will come out in mid-late July. As for this blog, I will be transforming it into an all-purpose blog for all kinds of Chobots news, with no one game being my focus of attention. I will be making new posts whenever I feel like it, with no set schedule in place.




           Anyways, we all have fond memories of Chobots.net, but it's time to say goodbye. Feel free to look into my memories tab to see some old pictures I took during parties and the open beta.

Hello,

          Well I haven't updated this blog for over a month now. I was definitely surprised to see my account still had the journalist badge.

Hey guys,

     Great job with those entries you guys! For your hard work, you all get a scroll item, a flag of the country you researched, and some bugs/citizenship!

     Now, to celebrate all of the wonderful culture, the Chobots staff has put in a ton of new decorations for each of the countries! Here they are:

                                                     
     All of these new decorations are really cool! What room is your favorite? Mine is probably the Japanese-themed Park with the Cherry Trees!

Hey guys,

    I have recently interviewed the one and only Thomas! If you don't already know, he is the Creative Director here on Chobots. Take a look:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mimzy: Question 1: How did you find out about Chobots.net?

Thomas: I found it from a Skype status - specifically, Zoo's. It was something like "New Chobots (: http://chobots.net". As I have been playing since 2009 and I love it, I decided to join the game!

Mimzy: Okay - Question 2: What is your favorite part about being apart of this community?

Thomas: Honestly, it's the users! I think we have such a great user base in our community; they're all nice and real. I also love the team I work with.

Mimzy: Question 3: What is your favorite game on Chobots?

Thomas: Sweets Battle is probably my all-time favorite mini-game on Chobots.

Mimzy: Oh, cool. How come?

Thomas: It's very fun to challenge other players, and I love the rooms and it's an overall creative idea I believe.

Mimzy: Alright, final question: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

* I had to leave after this question, so I never got an answer. I will update once I get one*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    Thomas is a very kind staff member! He loves the community here on Chobots and I think he will bring nothing but improvements to the game.

     Stay tuned for more,

Hey guys,

    There is a new contest going on in-game - a Robo-Factory contest!

   
     The contest will end on January 30th - exactly one week from today, January 23rd. Robo-Factory has always been one of my favorite games on Chobots (along with Choboard and Sliders!). I wish you all luck in competing - I heard there will be some awesome prizes!

Hello there,

   Chobots is now back online! The only new thing I can see right off the bat is that the server names have been changed:



     As you can see, the new server names are Mumbai and Tokyo. I'll update this post if I find out anything else, so stay tuned!

Hey guys,

   So there is now a new contest on the main blog - a culture research contest!

    This is such a cool contest to have! Since we have users from all over the world, this will be very interesting! You have these cultures to pick from to do your report:

• Japanese Culture
• Egyptian Culture
• Mexican Culture
• French Culture
• Italian Culture
• Indian Culture
• British Culture

Hey, just a quick update here.

Hey guys,

Hey guys,

     I've decided to do something a bit different today. Recently, I have interviewed the user Ember. Take a look:
_____________________________________________________________________________

mimzy: Question one: How did you find out about Chobots.net?

ember: it was a related game when I played club penguin a long time ago. Haven't played it since after finding it out!

mimzy: Question two: What is your favorite game on Chobots?

ember: Definitely Pinball

mimzy: Almost done. Question 3: What is your favorite item on Chobots and why?

ember: my comic item: First item I ever won in a contest!

mimzy: Nice choice.

ember: Why thank you

mimzy: Fourth and final question: If you had to live anywhere in the world besides where you do now, where would you live?

ember: Sanfrancisco. Always liked city scenes, and I just love the area

mimzy: Alright, thank you very much!

ember: Haha, your welcome! thank you :D

   The reason I chose ember is because he has stood out to me a lot in the past week or so, and he has just won his first contest (the camel comic), so be sure to congratulate him! Also - just yesterday he received his paintbrush that he has been working for months to get!

  Hope you enjoyed the interview,


Pst: 222nd post!

Hi guys,

Hey guys,

     Chobots has announced on the main blog that they will be hosting a party in remembrance of the amazing man Martin Luther King Junior! This is very cool, as I don't believe that Chobots has had an MLK day party before! The party will be held on Sunday, January 19th at 8:00 PM (or 20:00 Chobots time), on the most populated server at the time of the party. 


      For those of you that don't know who this man is, he was a very important person during the American civil rights movement. He fought for the equality of African-Americans during a time when they were not treated very well. You can read more about him here.


     Are you going to be attending the party?

Hey guys,

     Starting today, if you try to access the Chobots Forums, there will instead be a message on the page that looks like this:



    This means the Chobots Forums have been suspended. While it doesn't state that the forums are "closed", this is pretty much what the message is saying - at least for now. You can still log out and log into the forums, although you can't see or do anything. From what I know, the forums are closed because they have been inactive for the past few months.

    What are your feelings on this? Do you want the forums to come back?

Hey guys,

    There have been a lot of new contests posted on the Chobots Main blog! Let's run through them one by one:


Let's start with the coins rain contest -

   
     This one is pretty self-explanatory. Simply go into the cafe from cafe street and start playing the game in the bottom right. This is also a pretty long contest - it goes until January 20th. I bet there will be some cool prizes for battling this long on the game board!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     The winners for game night have also been posted on the main blog. Let's see:

- Nightboyz125 is the asteroid winner
- Link88 is the Choboard winner
- Zera is the Pinball winner
- Cool2341 is the Mechanical Crab winner
- Peppeyanse24 is the Robot Factory winner

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Now lets move onto the comic contest winners:


                                                                                     First we have Ember. This entry is really well done!

                                                                                              Now we have Ostrich. This one is really cool!

                                                                               And finally we have Ndubz. This one even has a moral to the story!
          These 3 will get 5 days of citizenship, 1000 bugs, and a comic hand item. Enjoy your prizes guys! Really cool entries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


        Now, to end this long post off, we will talk about the new January journalists! The first journalists for 2014 are:

• Ipearcake - Cake's Chobots blog!
• Mimzy - Chobots.net News (This blog!)
• Swifter - Chobots Bitesize
• Vasa12345 - Vasa12345's Blog

      Don't forget to check out their blogs! As you can see, there are only 4 journalists this month. This is because the staff will be watching every journalist's blog closely this month.

Hey guys,
Entries for the comic contest will be accepted until the 14th of January. Next, we have a design contest:


Your job is to create some Valentine's Day themed items! You are able to design your items however you want (pencil & paper, virtually, ETC). Here is the template you can use for items if you decide to use your computer to design.

In other news, game night is coming up this Sunday! Will you be attending?

Hi there,
The basic requirements for submitting a blog are:

- Your blog has to be at least one month old, with new posts weekly at minimum.
- The posts on your blog have to be creative and unique. You can't copy from others.
- At least one active blogger, and a maximum of four authors.

If you are chosen to become a journalist, you receive special perks such as getting the journalist badge on your player card, and receiving the feather item. To see the other perks/other info, click here.

Are you going to be submitting your blog this month?

Hey,

     If you check the citizenship page, you will see there are now new citizenship items for the month of January. Check them out:

As you can see, the theme is now "Historical Culture". My favorite item out of them would probably be the lightning boots. Also, at the bottom of the picture you can see that there will be some "Added fun later this month". I wonder what this will be.


Enjoy the new items,

Hey there,
