January Journalists!!!!

Hey Chos,


As you all should know, our previous Journalists were slacking!!! The Journalists thought they could get away with it, but they were wrong. All of their Journalist badges were removed, resulting in no more Journalists! So, the Chotopia team is looking for Journalists!

Here are the requirements:
- You cannot copy from any other website or blog, including the main blog!
- You must update your blog weekly! If not, let the staff know if you have a valid excuse!
- Make your posts fun and creative! Be you! Use good grammar!
- You have to have one active author and no more than 3 authors!

By the way, images from the main blog can be used on your blog!

Pros of being a Journalist:
- Journalist Badge on your playercard!
- Playercard cover!
- Feather hand item!
- Contact staff members through private chat, even if their playercard is blocked!
- Your blog will be book marked by staff members!
- Your blog will be listed on the main blog!
- Purple name tag!

Only the main author will be awarded with the Journalist badge unless another author has also put in a lot of hard work and effort.

To apply for Journalism, go to the main blog and comment on their January Journalists blog post with this information:
- Site Address
- Title of Site
- Site Owner
- Site Contributors
- Opened
- Why do you feel your blog should be featured?


Good luck! I was a Journalist once before, but not anymore. I guess I was one of those slackers, lol!

I'm back! Pirates!

Hey Chos,


I know it has been a while since I've posted. I know I've been inactive for quite some time just popping in and out. Now, I'm back to stay! Permanently! I love Chotopia and I regret taking a vacation- I guess you could say.

Pirates have landed in Chotopia, taking over Café Street and Mission Street! The Pirate Ship landing resulted in a tropical storm!

Here is Café Street! It is raining in Café Street, which causes lag for some but I haven't had any problems with lagging.

Here is Mission Street. The rope latter is what you have to climb to get to the Pirate Ship.

And here is the Pirate Ship! As you can see on the far right, there is a pirate. That is Captain Chokru! He is the new quest! His ship crash and he wants you to find fresh timber! The quest was glithced- walking differently while holding the wood and being invisible while walking very slow! Shadow fixed it, so there is nothing to worry about now!

Thanks to Jack Frost(Wolf)(Jackson) for the updates and designs!

The Chotopia team has decided to host a competition for every week in the month of January! But, it is a little different from previous times. Only the first place winner will receive a prize! That means you will have to be very competitive as there will be a lot of competition going on!

Here are the dates and competitions that will be going on in the month of January!

January 7th- Sweetbattle Competition

January 14th- Cow Mission(Farming) Competition

January 21st- Asteroid Competition

January 28th- Nichos Mission Competition

There has been an Agent wipe out. There are only two agents as of now, Blaine and Realm. They have been rewarded with Elite Agency since they survived the agent purge!!! So, by saying that, the Chotopia team is looking for active members of the community who:

Is active

Follows the rules

Nice to others

Making sure everything is in-check

Keeping Chotopia a safe environment

The Chotopia team is keeping a close eye on who all would make great agents! First, they will elect someone agent and then they will host a poll for the runner-up players! There also maybe more than one winner on the poll!!!

Good luck!!!

Slider's Competition + St. Patrick's Day and Easter Party Recap!

Hey Chos,

A Slider's Competition is now active at this moment as it has been a while since we have had one of these contests! Beat other Chos by knocking their sliders off of the board! You have until March 31 until the competition ends! This competition is very intense with some Chos already having over 40 points! Good luck to all participants!


The St. Patrick's Day/ Easter Party was a blast with so many users that attended and the Staff that made it possible! There were lots of rain and magic, including magic never seen before! Half of the party was held on Cafe Street as we moved to the Agents' Underground to finish out the party and have a game of Pictionary! If a Cho answered a question right, they were moved on the Agent wall with a point beside of them. The Cho who got 3 points won! The Chos who were on the wall at the end were the only ones who could answer the questions and no more Chos were allowed up on the wall. All the Chos on the wall received wings of their choice of color and a certain amount of bugs! The Chos who weren't on the board had the chance to catch the same wings when they rained! Everyone had a blast! Thanks to all the Staff and every Cho who attended!

Pinball Competition and Update!

Hey Chos,


From my previous post, I said there would be another competition soon and to be regularly checking my blog or the Main Chotopia Blog for updates! It is a Pinball Competition and it has already started! The Pinball Machine is located inside the Gamezone! Here are the directions to Pinball:

Yes, I know these Pinball directions are hard to understand. I will try to make them more clear!

As you can see, I have added two black arrows to make this easier to understand. One of the black arrows is pointing to pinball. To push the ball, click/hold your left mouse key! By holding the left mouse key, your increasing the amount of pressure that is going on the ball to make it go farther! By clicking your left mouse key, you're not making it go very far.

The other black arrow is pointing towards the "hitters." You can make the "hitters" move by moving your mouse to the left and right! The more pressure you put on moving your mouse to the left and right the farther the pinball is going to go!

The Pinball Competition is already intense and competitive, like all of our competitions are!

Here is the scoreboard as of now:

The Pinball Competition ends on February 29, 2016! Good luck to all of the contestants! Remember that it is never to late to start competing!

The "Send an Emergency Message to Moderation" button has been updated!

The button is located on the far right in the row of buttons on the top! Before, you could only send a notification to a Moderator!

Now, you can send a message to a Moderator!

Chos, the Staff needs ideas and suggestions for new features! You can either message them in-game or post on the Forum under the Suggestion post! Please share all of your ideas/suggestions! Thanks!

Trial Citizenship + Share with friends!

Hey Chos,


Right now, 3 days of trial citizenship is being offered. We also have a new feature!

You can see all the new Valentine's Day Citizenship Items Added on one of my previous posts!

As of now, there are no ''bonuses'' offered with the 3 day trial citizenship! We now have a new feature! Share with friends! That means you can share one month of citizenship with a friend, that is if they aren't already a citizen! If you buy citizenship for a friend and yourself, you get a 50% off of the next citizenship you buy!
