Game Nights are always a fun way to earn yourself a Citizenship, bugs, and a controller. So that's why I'm excited to say there is going to be a Game Night this Sunday, December 15th, at 8 PM Cho-Time. All you have to do is play a game of your choice for two hours and try to get to the top of the scoreboards. Remember, only 1st place on the scoreboards win the prizes, so don't stop for nothing! Report any cheaters to support@chobots.net with proof, so we can get rid of those naughty nichos. If you won a Game Night before, you would have to switch games to be a winner this time, so it's fair.

One of the Chobots developers, Elvio, has turned 500 days old today on Chobots! In celebration, everyone gathered in the park for some rain, magic, and quizzes! We were also surprised when we saw the new Elvio Flag, finally! I asked Elvio how it feels to be 500 days old on Chobots and he replied, "Well, It's great to be with Chobots for this long. We've had some great adventures and there's many more great fun to come!" We are surely grateful that Elvio is on the developer team for sure, he is always working hard on smashing the bugs and adding new stuff to the game to make Chobots a better place. Without him, the game would not be as fun. Make sure to wish him a happy 500th when you see him today!

One of my favorite parts about buying Citizenship is receiving those cool items with it, and today we were told that Chobots has updated the items! It's December and all, so now there is a new package named "The Winter Royalty." It features a girl and a boy chobot wearing some ice themed clothes, which I thought was super cool. Especially that crown and those wings, don't you think? Also as always, Chobots will receive 10,000 bugs with the package so you can go Christmas shopping and buy some cool clothes.

If you've been on Chobots lately, you probably have noticed the snow on the ground. That's because we've moved away from the Fall rooms to the Winter rooms, since Winter is approaching. Many Chobots have also been adapting new Winter styles, which look very cool. I've even dressed up as Santa to celebrate the new rooms. Anyways, the clothing refresh is coming up in just three days.

Yesterday afternoon we all gathered down in the Agents Underground. Why? To play some games of Pictionary and Hangman of course! If you are new to Chobots - get use to the fun because it happens pretty often. We played many games of both Pictionary and Hangman, which was hosted by the talented Chobots Team. Although, these games weren't really a challenge, and I wish they were...it was kinda just...wow when someone guessed the word before we even did anything. Anyways, easy or hard, it was still the fun of the day. There were in total of 9 winners from the games:
  •       Bebot (Pictionary and Hangman) 
  •       Rage (Pictionary) 
  •       Sweetneetu (Pictionary) 
  •       Xcan189x (Hangman)

I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween - it sure was amazing on Chobots at the Halloween Party. There was lots of cool magic, rain, music, and more. At first we started off with a contest where people had to answer simple questions about Halloween. The prize was a very cool Halloween background which moves. Next we partied and danced to songs like "This Is Halloween" in both German and English versions. But something went wrong at the party...as you can see in the image, the Nicho King made an appearance! He was very angry at us for partying and said that the war has begun, that doesn't sound very good at all. I hope we are able to stop him before he takes over Chobots, I'd hate to be under the rule of the Nicho King, wouldn't you?

The development of the Market has been discontinued after the Chobots Team has realized the decreasing usage of the market. To my opinion, I didn't really enjoy the market after it's poor performance, it was very slow and hard to access. The market is now closed and the development team will be focusing on new features in the world of Chobots.

The bugs that were in the market will be given back at a certain time, they will most likely reopen the market so Chobots can send their bugs back into their account for a limited time.

It's sad to see the market discontinued, but I'm glad they are focusing on new features for the game. What are your thoughts about the market being discontinued? Comment below.

Today is the day, lots of trick or treats will be out for candy - you better make sure you have some for them! The Chobots Team has posted some very interesting facts on the Chobots Blog, and I thought I'd might share them with you guys.

  •     Ireland is typically believed to be the birthplace of Halloween about 2000 years ago
  •     The first Jack O'Lanterns were actually made from turnips
  •     Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween
  •     The owl is a popular Halloween image. In Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be witches
  •     Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial in advertising
  •     Some towns in the U.S. have Halloween theme names, for example: Frankenstein, Mo.; Scary, W.Va.; Spook City, Colo., Candy Town, Ohio
  •     Many people mistakenly believe that Valentine's Day is the national holiday with the most candy sales, though statistics reveal that more than twice as many chocolates are sold for Halloween than Valentine's day
Wow, I never knew Halloween was so awesome! It's so cool to hear about how Halloween originated, don't you think? Anyways, have a fun Halloween - and stay safe.
