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!

Rope Competition, Spring Blogs, New Moderator, and New Notification!

Hey Chos,

UPDATE: Sadly, the Rope Competition has been canceled due to many Chobots cheating and playing unfairly. The Rope Contest has been replaced with Garbage Collector! The Garbage Collector Competition will go on until March 13, 2016, which is a week from today. Remember that the Spring Themed Blog Contest is still going on! It is never too late! Good luck to all participants! If you suspect/have proof of anyone cheating, contact a Staff Member or an Agent immediately!

Since the Pinball Contest has came to an end, the team decided to host a Rope Competition! Tug of war takes 2 or more players, so find a friend and start competing! Good luck! If you catch a person cheating, contact a staff member! Cheating includes using an auto-clicker program or creating various accounts!

The team also decided to have an out-game competition! For this competition, you have to decorate your blog in a spring related theme! The team will mostly focus on your blog header and will grade it based on the most eye-catching and in terms of creativity, choice of colors, and the style of your blog! To submit your Spring related themed blog, link your blog or comment the URL on the Main Chotopia Blog post! The blogs will be graded on March 7th, good luck to all of the participants!
