Chugs Bunny and sneak peek at new items!

Bonjour mes amis!

Happy Easter to everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day today!

As part of these celebrations don't forget that Chugs Bunny has arrived at the Park with a very special Easter quest!

You'll have to look for several eggs that Chugs Bunny lost around the city. These eggs can be found both indoors and outdoors and they are minuscule, so you'll be needing a keen eye to get them.

The prize is a complete bunny suit for all your Easter needs HAHAHAHA! Be sure to check out the quest before Chugs Bunny departs on April 22nd.

In other news, I've got a special sneak peek for you guys. Very soon you'll be able to find new playercard skins in the $hop. Sylva was very kind to show them to me and allowed me to post them here (THANK YOU!). So without further ado, check them out:

But that's not all! New designers, Fizzy and Flynn, have come up with a whole new type of playercard skins. Some of them will now include an awesome pin at the top left corner of the playercard, like below:

Isn't that amazing? Sylva also has a special design exclusive to her which makes a great combination with her outfit. However, to see that one you're going to find her in the game :P

Finally, I have updated the Journalists page. check it out by clicking the image below.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Hop hop hop!

Bonjour mes amis!

With Easter around the corner the Chotopia team will be hosting a party to celebrate the occasion!

Come celebrate Easter with us on Saturday, April 15th at 9PM Cho Time in Café Street, Utopia. You surely don't want to miss this party!

Additionally, starting tomorrow you'll be able to do an Easter quest! Be sure to check the Park to accept the scavenger hunt.

In other news, my Citizenship renewed which means I can finally show you the item of the month:

It's a super duper cute ostrich costume! HAHAHA!

Don't forget that I will also be adding the party invite to the sidebar like I always do.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

April updates!

Bonjour mes amis!

April has launched with full force and there are many things to talk about, so let's get to it.

First of all, I'm happy to announce that I have been selected as part of April's Journalists, however, the official list has not been posted by the main blog. I know this because when I entered the game I received this message:

When the official list is released I will update the Journalist page.

The new Citizenship page has also been released which means a new monthly item!

Click to enlarge

I will be sure to show it to you once my Citizenship renews :)

Also, the nightmode feature in the game can now be disabled in the menu as shown below:

Sadly, you guys won't find a cool Omiguy in the corner of your menus like the picture above. I'll be sure to let the team know that they should add it in the future. HEHEHEHE!

Additionally, Choproff has been updated and the quest will now reward the correct amount of bugs: 200 for Juniors and 400 for Citizens.

Finally, once again I'm happy to announce that one of the suggestions from the Suggestions Corner! has been implemented in the game.

Checkers will not force you to make a jump anymore! YES! Thank you team!

For those of you who don't know, the Suggestions Corner! is a part of this blog dedicated to give suggestions for the game.

You can find the banner above located in the sidebar and by clicking it you will be able to visit the page.

Remember that if you also have suggestions you can comment them and I will always give credit to you.

In the meantime, you can head over to the Forums by CLICKING HERE to participate in a new spring contest.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

The Forum is back + more news!

Bonjour mes amis!

I'm happy to announce that the Forum is finally back! YAY!

You can access it by CLICKING HERE or simply go to Chotopia's main website and follow the link at the top. I can't wait to see you guys there!

I would also like to congratulate Enhance on their promotion to Agent! WOOT! Enhance was hand picked by the administration to become an Agent and I am sure they are going to do an amazing job! CONGRATS!

Furthermore, visiting the Agents page I noticed that Agent101 is no longer on the list, which is sad. I hope everything is alright with him.

In other news, the Easter design is finally complete! HURRAY!

Enjoy it for the whole month of April and don't forget to give me your opinion in the comments section. I always like to read what you guys think.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

New Shakespeares to arrive soon!

Bonjour mes amis!

Boy am I glad that I'm posting about this? I sure am! An application process for April's Shakespeares is here!

As you may know, February and March didn't have Journalists, which was sorrowful, but April started off with the right foot!

Do you think you have what it takes to become a Journalist? If so, head over to the main blog by CLICKING HERE and submit your application.

Remember that Journalists get some sweet perks like:

• A wicked playercard skin
• A purple name tag
• A feather item

And much more!! A Journalist's job is to bring news to the Chotopia universe in a cool and innovating way. If you want to put your creative skills to the test, then Journalism is definitely for you.

On a side note, I'm working on a new design for the blog to celebrate Easter, just like I did with St. Valentine's and St. Patrick's. It should be finished in the next couple of days. In the meantime, enjoy the new header and the Official Design of the blog. It's been a while since we've seen that one right?!

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Are you an Agent?

Because if you are, this post is for you! But if you're not, keep reading because there is still something for you! HEHEHE

Bonjour mes amis!

If you are an Agent there is currently a meeting that is taking place in a few days.

For those of you who can't see the picture:

March 31st

9PM Cho Time

Agent HQ - Utopia

Agents are encouraged to attend as there will be many important topics to be discussed. As promised, for those of you who are not Agents, there is probably going to be an Underground party right after the meeting, so you are also encouraged to attend. You obviously don't want to miss it!

I also want to congratulate Simplexi for winning the Spot the Difference Contest. CONGRATS!

As always, since there will probably be a party after the meeting, I will post the banner on the sidebar.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Skeletons in the closet!

Bonjour mes amis!

No, don't think that I have some juicy gossip about someone to tell you about. Despite the title of this post, all the skeletons that are hidden in our wardrobes are those we use as disguise for Halloween. HEHEHE!

HOWEVER! A new feature for the wardrobe has arrived. The team has added two new tabs for organizing your clothes. Take a look:

Click to enlarge

They've added a new tab for HAIR and HAND ITEMS as you can see above. This will certainly clear some space in the tabs where these items were previously located.

Furthermore, there is also a "Coming Soon" tab that is reserved for a small surprise that the team is hiding from us still. I believe we will find out what it is for soon enough.

So what do you think about this? Does it help you in organizing your wardrobe better? Don't forget to give your opinion about it by voting in the main blog.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

• Comic contest winner

New contest: St. Patrick's day fashion contest!

For this new contest we will have to call our inner Donatella Versace, Mark Jacobs, Coco Chanel and Ralph Lauren, because this contest is all about fashion!

There are some very specific rules, so I encourage you to CLICK HERE to read them all and submit your entry. GOOD LUCK!

New party

You certainly can't miss this party! If you can't see the image, the text says:

I certainly hope to see all of you there! As always, I will have this banner posted on the sidebar.

Agency

Let's all give a round of applause to Brian1king and Jaydee, our newest Agents! I know you guys are going to do an amazing job!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Luigi costume

As I told you last time, my Citizenship renewed yesterday, and here is the Luigi costume!

It works like any other suit, so you can't have anything else on, or else it will be taken away.

New UI

The old disc UI has now been replaced with a more space friendly UI. If you head over to the game you'll notice that the interacting buttons are now located throughout the sides of the game.

Remember to vote in the poll at the main blog to let the team know what you think about it!

City wide takeover!

Bonjour mes amis!

Yesterday as I was entering Chotopia, I came across a new small update.

The team decided to add some new cities to the roster. The full list goes like:

• Timber
• Chocolate
• Utopia
• Vanilla
• Tropico

However, when I logged in today, only Chocolate, Utopia and Vanilla remained.

Do you think Timber and Tropico are ever going to make a comeback? Which city name is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

It's-a me! Luigi!

Bonjour mes amis!

The greenery has finally caught up with Chotopia and you can now enjoy the St. Patrick's theme on the game.

Similar to the Valentine's theme, the borders of the game are now colored green.

Furthermore, the Citizenship has been updated with March's item, and it is none other than Mario's brother, LUIGI!

Buy a Citizenship package this month and you'll get a Luigi costume for your Chobot. NEAT RIGHT?!

My Citizenship renews on March 13th so I'll be sure to give you a costume review as always :)

View your transactions!

Bonjour mes amis!

If you have ever visited my Suggestions Corner! you already know that I use it to make suggestions for the game. Click the image below to view the page.

In this page I had previously recommended that Chotopia added a list of transactions for the My Chotopia page. You can see the original post in the image below.

Click to enlarge

Well I am happy to announce that today I noticed that they have implemented this feature! I don't know how long it has been or if they took the suggestion from this website, but I am certainly happy that it got implemented!

If you go to your My Chotopia page you will be able to see a list of the last four (4) transactions in your account.

Remember that if you also have an idea you can go to the Suggestions Corner! and comment it. I will always give full credit for ideas that are not mine.

We finally have a complete four-leaf clover!

Bonjour mes amis!

Yesterday we received three different types of news and today we add one more to the package to get a full four-leaf clover! The March Madness is REAL!

To start things off you should know that this month is all about competitions. Take a look at the calendar for this month's battles:

For those of you who can't see the picture, it reads as follows:

• March 2-7 Space Racing
• March 7-12 Garbage Collector
• March 12-17 Sliders
• March 17-22 Cow Mission
• March 22-27 Sweet Battle
• March 27-31 Tug of War

You should also know that, at the end, the TOP THREE (3) players who've collected the most amount of points or wins will receive what the team calls "a very special award". HMMM Sounds interesting, doesn't it?

Moving on, the team is currently hosting a comic contest!

The complete list of rules can be found HERE. You have until March 12th to submit your entry.

Also, before saying good-bye, don't forget that you can nominate players to be part of an Agent poll and also apply for a job with the Chotopia team. More information can be found HERE.

Oh! And I almost forgot, you can head over to the Space Port Square to start the Space Racing competition. May the fastest player win!

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Third month of the year brings three types of news!

Bonjour mes amis!

March is the third month of the year, and it is only logical that I give you three different types of news so that we obtain a bonanza of number "threes"

1. New job openings!

Click to enlarge

The Chotopia team is currently looking for new moderators (precisely 1 to 2 of them), so if you meet the requirements head over to the Jobs page (which you can also access by CLICKING HERE) and apply for a position.

They are also looking for temporary testers for the new mobile app. So if you love helping in any way you can, this is the position for you!

2. New Agent poll coming soon!

Once again the team is on the lookout for possible candidates to participate in the poll. This time, however, things are going to be a little different. If you head over to THIS POST you will be able to post a comment recommending no more than two (2) Chobots to participate in the Agent poll.

The two users who receive the most votes will participate in the poll alongside other Chobots selected by the team. You are also prohibited from nominating yourself.

3. Drawing contest winner!

For our last topic, I want to give huge congratulations to Honey for wining the drawing contest! Way to go! The prizes were:

• 10 days of Citizenship
• A paintbrush
• Valentine's jet pack

I also wish to congratulate Magicman for being the runner up, winning 5 days of Citizenship and a paintbrush! Nice work guys!

So tell me, what do you think about all this? Are you going to recommend someone for the Agent poll? Are you planning on applying for a job? Don't hesitate to tell me in the comments section below.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Four-leaf clovers!

Bonjour mes amis!

March is just around the corner and with a new month comes new and exciting things to do! One of those is redesigning my blog to complete the celebrations!

Enjoy the St. Patrick's Theme for the whole month of March! I hope this month is filled with great luck for all of you!

Free Citizenship?!

Bonjour mes amis!

As you all know, today was the Valentine's Day party at Chotopia. Unfortunately, Katara couldn't make it, but Rain was there to host the party in her place.

We ran into a few problems when the server was acting funny, and as a compensation they gave out free Citizenship to everyone who attended the party.

Imagine my reaction when I saw this message arrive at my inbox! Something like this:

So I go to the Citizenship page and find this beauty:

AND VOILA! Seven (7) days of Citizenship for your player!

Were you at the party? Don't worry if not, there will be plenty in the future!

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Bonjour mes amis!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day together with your friends.

Moving on to today's topic, there is a new poll in the game! You can access it by CLICKING HERE or by going to the main game and clicking the link at the top of the page.

The question prompts if you are interested in seeing a Chotopia Mobile Application.

A basket made for love!

Bonjour mes amis!

As promised, today my Citizenship has renewed and I can show you the Valentine Basket! YAY!

The Valentine Basket works like any other board would do. Meaning that I can't have my Fire Shoes on when I'm using it.

It offers average speed, but it is not slow either. One doesn't need to go at 100 MPH to enjoy an item's speed.

The aesthetic is really appealing, but the down side is that it covers the bottom part of your Chobot. Meaning that people are not going to be able to see your stylish designs HEHEHE

Are you thinking about buying this item? Let me know in the comments.

Until then, this is Omi signing out!
