There hasn't been a game night in 3 weeks, wow! The staff has decided to have one today. Game Nights are
when all the leader boards are opened for a certain amount of time and Chobots go head to head on each game, trying to get to the top of the leader boards. The game night will be today - Tuesday, July 30th, at 9:00 PM Cho-time! Remember, if you already won a game night in the past with a certain game, you can not win again by playing that game and you must play different game in order to win. Cheating is against the rules, so please don't do it! If you see a Chobot cheating, the staff ask you to leave a comment under the Game Night post on the official blog with details of what the user did to cheat. They ask you to also have a photo of the cheating as proof. Good luck to all you Chobots, and have fun! What game will you play for Game Night? Leave your answer by commenting below.

The Chobots Forum has been updated a lot recently. First, a new theme was put on it. It's white and blue, plus it looks really simple and user friendly. To be honest, I really like this theme better compared to the other themes.
There has been some plugins added to the forum too! There are two major ones, Status Updates and the Like button. Status Updates is where you can post what you want and everyone will see it. This is mostly used to communicate to others and say what your doing at the moment. The status updates are located at the bottom of the front page of the forum.
The Like button is used for liking someones post! To like someones post, you can just click "Like" at the bottom of their post, and then automatically your name will show up at the bottom of the post and it will say that you liked it. If you want to unlike the post, simply click "unlike."
I really like the new forum updates, now we are able to communicate by status updates and like posts, how cool is that? What do you think about the new forum updates? Leave your thoughts by commenting below.

Earlier today, Jake got online and Chobots automatically noticed his new Council badge, and asked questions about it. Jake explained how the Chobots Council contain 8 members - 2 Juniors, 2 Citizens, 1 Agent, 1 Journalist, 1 Moderator, and 1 Admin. The Chobots Council is like a "board of advisers" to the Chobots Administration. Once a member of the Chobots Council, you stay a Council member forever until you break the rules or resign. Alone, a Council member is powerless. Together they have power. Council Members receive an allowance and a special badge on their playercard.

You can become a Council member by being nominated. You need to follow the rules, be active, and show an interest in the Council. Once being nominated you need to be elected by vote through a specific group. The groups are:

Jr. Junior Councillor: General Community
Sr. Junior Councillor: Testing Team
Jr. Citizen Councillor: General Community
Sr. Citizen Councillor: Forum Team
Journalist Councillor: Journalist Team
Agent Councillor: Agent Team
Moderator Councillor: Moderation Team

The Council is basically a better way for the community to be connected to the Chobots Team. I think this is a great idea - now there will be more of a voice for the community. What do you think about the Chobots Council? Leave your thoughts by commenting below.
