Game Night Review
Game Night was a blast! We had tons of fun with the users and everyone enjoyed themselves.

"Game Night is an amazing event, it brings players together and gives them a chance of show casing their talent in their very favorite game!" - Furry

"It was a great games night which was extremely fun and I would never get bored of it" - Lololol1

"It was great! there was a variety of different magics used, lots of game playing and competitiveness in trying to be first in your favourite game! A great and very eventful evening in my eyes! I will definitely attend the next one:)" - Independent

It sounds like everyone had a great time! If you missed it, here are some snapshots!

Main Blog Updates
Just a few updates added to the blog!
The header looks really funky, it's got a new look to it and is by far the best header yet.

Also, there is a new party tracker designed by Yaniv! This tracker will tell you the upcoming parties including a countdown. So keep an eye out for it!

Epic Designs
Firstly, we have our designer Star back in the team! He is forever creating cool items for Chobots and has a lot of enthusiasm. However, some of the items he creates are inspired by your drawings! He loves them so keep posting on the forums and sending to support! Here are a few of my favourite items which have been designed recently..

Users rocking some new wing designs. The rainbow wings were designed by Art!

That's all for now,
Thanks for reading, comment your favourite design!

Saturday Fun and News!

Hey guys, sorry for the long posting gap, almost three days, but it feels a long time xD
I haven't posted because I was so worked up on creating a new template! So beware, this may be a very long post! Haha.
Before I tell you all about it, I have some random, off-topic news to share..

In the UK, or where I live, it has snowed. I mean A LOT of snow.. 10 inches in my garden! I thought I'd show you a little picture of what I mean:

Ok, so this is what my back garden looks like! I made a snowman with my friends, because we're cool like that. We used unwanted chocolates as the eyes.. LOL

Then we decided to go out and found this.. we HAD to take a photo!

I still can't stop laughing! It was so funny haha :'D

Moving on..

Blog Updates

I kept my promise, my blog has been transformed into a Spring Frenzy.. xD I'm really impressed on the amount of votes.. 15, ok I'm allowed to feel popular! LOL.. Anyways, I'm still working on the sidebars but they'll be updated soon don't worry. If you have any suggestions on blog themes or something you'd like to see on my blog comment on this post.


Also, as you can see, I have a grey, unknown Chobot on my header.. that's because I have a new author.. however that will be discussed on another post. ;)

Cho News
Chobots has been very busy this past week; there have been contests, contest winners, polls.. the list is endless.. Read on for more details!

You guys truly deserved agency, I am really happy for you all. Don't be sad if you weren't chosen, agents are picked every month so always try your best and you will succeed!

My Post

Being an addition to the Journalist Team, I was asked to write out a post for the main blog! My theme was.. FASHION! Click here to view my post.

Ok, so I talked about fashion tips, advice and shared some cool, cheap outfits for all of you! Be sure to check it out and possibly leave a little comment x]

Contest Poll

This poll was very interesting. I voted for Fashion (obviously), Arts & Crafts and Art. The results were really tight however Art was a very popular contest idea. I just can't wait to see the new contests coming in April! 171 votes?! Woah.. And I thought my poll had a lot of votes! xD

Well, that's the end of my extremely long post, I hope it fills you in on our busy week!

Super Sunday

Hiya guys! I have so much gossip to spill *excited* haha!
Aw, it's Sunday.. soon it will be time for school -.-

Game Night Review
Game Night was a blast! It brought the Chobots Community together and we all had a great time. There was competition in every game, however only the person in 1st place could win the prize!
However, before I reveal the winners of each game, here are some quotes from Chobots about yesterdays game night;

Game night was an awesome experience! I just love the idea that the moderators came up with, it's a nice challenge and a fun activity. -Vasa12345

It was awesome, really awesome. - Bacon

So, this is the moment of truth... here are the winners!

 

They won 5 days of citizenship, 

5000 bugs and a game controller!

March Journalists

Next up is this months journalists! Anyone can enter their blog as long as it's over a month old, they post regularly and they don't copy and paste posts from the Main Blog.

If you think you have what it takes to become a journalist, sign up your blog on the blog post.

All you have to do is comment your blog URL on the post. Simples.

Twinkle's Advice #3
Have you been applying for journalist for these past 2 months and not been successful? If so, then carry on reading! You are in the same boat as me because my blog has also been turned down twice. So, I will give you some tips on how you an do better.

First of all, it is pointless to give your blog in again if you haven't made any changes to it, because that's what the judges are looking out for; whether you have improved. If you don't know how you can improve, simply check out the current journalists to have an idea of what elements might have caught the judges eye.

Perhaps adding more pages or changing the layout of your posts will be a good idea. The main key is to make your blog original. For example, to keep my blog unique, I changed my blog name to 'ChoGossip'. Because I felt a cool, fresh blog name will make my blog sound interesting before someone has actually viewed it.

Agents Meeting
All you agents out there.. this is a message for you! There will be an Agents Meeting on Saturday, 16th March. You are not obliged to come, however those who come will be awarded with a special prize!
We will talk about all sorts x]
Hope to see you there.

That's all for now!
More fun posts are heading your way!
