To be or not to be!

Bonjour mes amis!

To be or not to be a journalist? THAT is the question!

The team has officially opened applications for January's Journalists! Shakespeare say what?!

You heard me right! Umm, well, read me right. Anyways, if you love writing as much as I do and you own a blog, don't hesitate to go to the main blog and submit an application. Journalists are the main source of information in Chotopia (apart from the main blog, of course) and they have some pretty cool privileges if you ask me:

1. A journalist badge with the title of your blog and an exclusive and wicked playercard
2. The feather item, so you can invoke the mighty powers of Shakespeare
3.  You will be able to contact a moderator through PC even when their playercard is blocked (Shakespeare powers, I'm telling you, they're great)
4. Moderators will bookmark your blog
5. You will get featured in the main blog! (Can I get a WHAT WHAT!?)
6. A purple name tag, because everything is better when you add the color purple to it, just ask Barney

HOLD YOUR HORSES THOUGH!

There are requirements, however, and they are as follow:

1. Thou shall post on a weekly basis
2. Thou shall inform the team if thou will head over the seas on a vacation
3. Thou shall be creative! No copying from other sources!
4. Thou shall right correctly... hehehe
5. Thy blog shall have at least one active Shakespeare and a maximum of three (3) Shakespeares.

And that's it! Pretty neat right? Once the January Journalists have been announced I will create a separate page with the list, similar to the Suggestions Corner! page. The image you see above will be located in the sidebar to redirect you to it.

I already submitted my application, what are you waiting for? (cue Ellie Goulding's Love me like you do)

Until then, this is Omi signing out!

Once a week you will compete, let's gather around for Agency!

Bonjour mes amis!

Pay close attention because the information in this post is very important!

First off, let's talk about the weekly competitions that are about to begin very soon. Starting on January 7th there will be a WEEKLY competition in Chotopia. Say what?!

Yes, you read that right. Throughout the month of January the competitions in the game will only last one week. Furthermore, only the first place in the scoreboard will receive a reward, so it will definitely be a little more difficult to win. Omi are you serious?

YES I AM! Not only that, but I also heard that the same person CANNOT win more than once! That means that more people will have a chance at the amazing goodies that the staff will give the winners. YIPPIE!

The schedule is as follows:

• January 7th- Sliders Competition Sweetbattle Competition
• January 14th- Cow Mission Competition
• January 21st- Asteroid Competition
• January 28th- Nichos Mission Competition

If this turns out to be a good move, the team might extend the weekly competitions to February too! So take your starting positions and let the race begin!

In other news, the team wants to inform everybody that because there are only two (2) Agents in Chotopia right now, they will be looking actively for new additions to the group. It is important to remember that Agents are special Chobots that are always looking to improve the game. Whether it is by searching for rule breakers or looking out for the general well-being of the game, Agents are there to offer support to the staff.

The team will select one Chobot to become an Agent and another group to be part of a poll. This poll will consist of players that the staff believe can make a good impact if they become Agents. Furthermore, more than one winner from the poll could be selected to become Agent, so be ready!

Until then, this is Omi signing out!
