Agents special post: Warn button

2012-01-05T21:10:00.000-08:00

The chobots team has recently entrusted the agents with a special warning buttton, but when should you use it?

First of all lets understand this, if a chobot recieves a warning it goes to his permanent record and his chances to be promoted go down severely.The chobot also risks some far graver consequenses

So when should you use this feature?When its needed ofcourse!

You may not use it repeatedly on any chobot, and you MAY NOT use it if you havent seen the chobot do the crime for yourself.No matter how trusted your friend or whoever is telling you is, you CAN NOT use it unless the rule-break was witnessed by you.

So that takes care of that, but now you dont need to use this button every single time.
When a chobot does a minor offense such as date and is new and it is his first offense, just tell him that it isnt allowed and such, if he repeats then you may warn him.

Remember that the warning is very severe and is not something to play around with.

Enjoy and stay safe!

How to protect your pc for dummies

2012-01-05T06:01:00.000-08:00

This is a chobots blog, but you cant play chobots without a computer.

This is a guide on how to protect your pc from viruses and such(A aayush bday special!)

First of all, we need to understand what a virus really is

A virus is a kind of malware

Thats it

So what is this malware?

It stands for malicious-software

A malicious software can be of various types, it can damage your system, steal your passwords, spy on you, let the hacker control your computer e.t.c

So how do i protect my pc from it?Its obvious, you need to use a special and rare tool called a Brain.

First thing you will need is protection, so what kind of protection should i buy?

In here we will use two protections, to protect against viruses and to protect against other kinds of malware.

So how do i protect my computer from being infected by a virus?Answer is you cant

But you can lower the chances of it successfully destroying your pc, by buying a virus protection.

Now there are many out there, i personally recommend Quick Heal antivirus, which is the best in town.

Quick heal is a all-ronder, it has dnascan and a very good firewall, its the best antivirus i have seen by far, you may reach the quick heal website by going to http://j.gs/W3F

Ask your oparents to buy you a copy of quickheal, and explain to them why your computer needs a antivirus!(Refer them to this post if needed)

Now if you have got quickheal, or some other antivirus, DO NOT GET NORTON!

It is time we install a protection that is the best in town, but ofcourse it doesnt protect against viruses, thats quick heal's job.

This will protect against othert things such as hackers and new kinds of malware.

Its called malwarebytes, you can download the full version free at http://j.gs/W3G

Okay, that is it.You have now got both protections, your system is now 70 percent secure!

But wait, what about the other 30%, well the other 20 percent can be added to safety if you use a weapon called B-R-A-I-N.Do not open .exe files or .jar files UNLESS You have got them from a trusted source.

If you just do that, you are 90 percent secure, the rest 10 percent is out of your control, Good luck and stay safe!

Note:No images in this post, sorry!

How to keep your account safe

2012-01-02T05:24:00.000-08:00

Hello Chobots, this is a guide about keeping yourself safe.
There are a LOT of hackers going around, and here is how to avoid being hacked, with this there is a 90 percent chance you wont be hacked, the rest 10 percent is out of your power though.

Complex password :-
Guess how hackers hack usually?they guess people's passwords! So what is a Complex password?It is a password that is totally safe and contains both uppercase and lowercase letters.
Examples of complex passwords :- Jazkio111
Notice that the password has 3 parts

J-uppercase
akzio-lowercase
111-numbers

This way its very hard to guess your password, since the hacker not only has to guess your password but also where is uppercase and where is lowercase, a more secure password than the above would be :-

JaZkio11

Two uppercase and the rest lowercase, or two lowercase and the rest uppercase is recommended, also remember to have numbers!

Also make sure to make your password something you can remember, so maybe say your current Chobots password is mobodobo

So instead of mobodobo, change it to

MoBoDoB0

Now that is a secure password and is easy to remember cause its a modified version of your own password.

Now you have a complex password, the most important step is hereby achieved!
Next we ensure some basics, of your own safety.

So how do you get hacked?Phishing is out of question(Chobots uses a flash client, so to make a fake and rigged one is out of the brain of 99 percent Chobots)

The best way to be hacked is social engineering, meaning you are telling them your password.
Again, they give you many different offers such as money clothes or they say they found a secret trick or anything, well don't believe them! NEVER give out your password, and i repeat again never. If you decide to give it away then don't come crying to anybody because you got hacked, No member of the Chobots official team will ever ask for your password, so never reveal it!

With that said, i will get you into some technical stuff(If you get confused when reading this, don't read this part unless you want to be confused even more)

When you send your username and password over to the Chobots client, the client sends a signal to its server which then verifies it from its records and returns a positive or negative response, if the response is positive the server serves the important and required files for Chobots to run which delete themselves as soon as you close your browser, it is possible for you to be hacked during this process, matter of fact a proffesional hacker can intercept your cookies and hack you when you log in, can even spread a virus directly by posting a comment on the official blog with a virus included, which intercepts your cookies and hacks everyone.But well you don't have to worry about that, there are no professional hackers in the community and if someone is capable of doing such high level hacks he can pretty much just go to places such as club penguin and hack the hell out of them instead of a small community called Chobots. Again if a professional hacker does come then you are defenseless(And no ghoni wasn't a professional hacker, he was a total idiot)

With that said, we hope you stay safe!

2011-12-17T03:41:00.000-08:00

Hello chobots, i hope you all remember a few days ago we told you that new stuff is coming, and one of them was..PETS! The chobots team has finished work on pets and they are set to release anytime soon!
Click here to go to our post revealing several upcoming stuff

Okay so you wish to know how the system will work..let us tell you!

Here is a upcoming room, this room will be where you will be constructing your pets

As you can see to the right, the pet constructor is there!

The pet constructor will let you design a pet, and he will let you choose how he looks, you can choose the kind of head, body, legs e.t.c he will have.

It isnt confirmed if you can put things like clothes or bows or stuff on them, but you probably will be able to do that aswell.

You can also pick out your pet's colors and you can take your pets for walks with you, but you also need to keep your pet fed or you wont like what happens next!

Your pet can also go to sleep if you buy him something to sleep with(like beds and some pet-sleeping magic) . You can also amaze others with your own pet's amazing tricks!

You can also buy him things to play with(A.K.A toys).When you have him play with them they will do certain tricks aswell.

The pet constructor's entrance will PROBABLY be at eco street or pets shop(This is NOT confirmed) but it most probably will be.

PS:The eco shop has been renamed the pet shop on the map, which is a indication that pets are coming VERY soon!)

We will let you in on even more sneek peeks with time, stay tuned!

Chobots how to stop lagging/avoid lagg guide

2011-12-15T00:09:00.000-08:00

Hello chobots, a lot of you have been asking me this question: How to avoid lagging?Well stopping to lagg isnt fully in your hands, but we can optimize your setup to make sure everything is perfect on your end!

Here are a few steps to decreasing and avoiding lagg so you can stop lagging in chobots.

First of all, download a browser called Google Chrome, it is a direct to java browser and the only of its kind, since flash needs java support which other browsers dont have, its full capabalities are limited, but chrome can easily avoid this!
Click Here to download google chrome

Okay google chrome is done, but there are much more to go, the next thing we are going to do is check your internet speed(remember we are only checking here, this step will not increase your speed!)
Click here and take a speed test
Your speed should be above 2mb/s and upload should be above 1mb/s, if you are lower than that then you dont have many options, as to increase this speed you need to spend real life money and get a better internet connection!

Next step is the big screen, this is a tip.If you are lagging or if you are at a crowded place like a party, SWITCH OUT of full screen, since full screen makes you lagg 9 times as much for a average chobot, so use full screen when your not in a crowded place, but when you are in a crowded the server will be overloaded and your fullscreen will overload it even more, making the game VERY slow for you and it will slow down other people's games too!

The final tip is to go to your menu and lower the quality and turn off the sound(To turn it off take both sliders to the end). If you are lagging then you have to do that, other than that it is up to you.

Thee are some very basic tips to avoiding lagg to stop lagging in chobots, but other than that 70 percent of the matter remains on :- The kind of pc you have, your internet connection and the servers of chobots, this is probably out of your control but if it is possible for you, then buy a better PC and get a better internet connection!

Chobots blogging guide - Making your blog look good!

2011-12-04T00:29:00.001-08:00

Hello chobots, we are here with the extremely anticipated blogging guide part two!

In the previous blogging guide we disucssed the basics, this time we discuss how to make your blog look good!
If you havent read the blogging guide part one, we recommend you do it, as a plenty of references will be made!

Note:This guide will be focusing primarily on blogger, however huge similiarities are present in wordpress and other blogging platforms.

Okay, so you have your blog set up and are now willing to make it look the cut, well it is not easy!
Making your blog look good is very important, here we will mention getting a good template and effectively arranging it.
We do not recommend getting a template like chobotstimes, as it has been optimised for maximum size of posts, which is not the case with other chobots blogs where posts are short and fast.

Okay, so let us now decorate your new blog!
You can try designing a template, but that would be very hard for you and you probably wont be getting as good a template as you would if you got a proffesional template from the internet, so lets get you a new template!

Head on over to this website and pick a template that suits your needs, here we will mention what kind of a template you want!

Coloumn - meaning sidebars, you want one with only one sidebar as a beginner, your blog may not be able to handle a big sidebar and this may fail your blog, so to start off, always take one sidebar! When your blog has lot of posts and is getting a good amount of visitors, you can consider getting more sidebars!

Theme - This depends on what kind of posts you like the write, here at chobotstimes we picked the theme as green because it is refreshing and can help you read big guides easier, however you must always take in consideration the theme, if you like you make quick posts regarding chobots about updates and parties and such, you are better of with blue. If you make passionate posts, black will be a good choice. ALWAYS have the correct theme!

Size - As a non-expert, you want to make your blog's main post area size small, you can see chobotstimes has a large size which is because of many content filled(and some hidden!) in it, however if you make your blog's size too much and fail to write posts of that level, your blog will fail so do not let that happen!

Header - It is better to keep it simple, a header is a key particle into shaping your blog, but over doing it, putting designs on it and such when overdone can ruin your blog, so do not let that happen! In chobotstimes we prefer to have just a text saying chobotstimes, which is very good for a variety of reasons, which will be mentioned in our other blogging guides, remember that aayush personally considers a text header as the best, but you are always free to experiment with images, just dont overdo it!

Okay your layout is done, you have picked a good template according to your needs and now you want to decorate it, not so easy!

Alright, when you go to your blog's layout you will notice it has been divided into neat small parts so that you can easily edit it, first thing first, add a followers widget and a link to play chobots from! Add a blogroll, it helps a lot, we will explain how it helps in another post, if you want to be on chobotstimes's blogroll, use the contact us form to contact us and talk about it!

Now you have added a followers widget, a link to chobots and a blogroll, well what now?your one sidebar is already filled up a bit, now after this you are free to customize, but if you dont have much to put there, try putting a chobots banner there and other than that, go to the add widget option of blogger and put all the widgets you want!

NOTE: A VERY important thing is that you NEVER ask people to follow your blog, the person will lose all respect for your blog as a blog begging for followers means that it is not good, the person may follow it but he certainly wont be pleased by the blog after that, if they want to follow you, have them do it out of generousity!

Okay this was the 2nd part of our blogging guide, stay tuned as the 3rd is on its way!

Merry choristmas!

2011-12-02T23:46:00.001-08:00

Happy ho da yo! ITS HALLOWEEN! Or wait, was it christmas?I cant remember but we do have halloween(or christmas) updates!

First of all, check out the new splash screen, they added a new go to blog button, and the login screen now has a glowing blue star right behind your chobot!

The whole chobots outdoors are covered in snow!

Also we have over 30 new items in the shop! This is my personal favourite, the christmas tree suit!

Enjoy the new items and new locations!

Also santa isnt here yet, but we have secret intel that there WILL be a new quest before christmas updates go away, this will probably be at the time of the chobots full release and is probably SANTA with the BETA ITEMS!

2011-12-02T08:51:00.001-08:00

Chobots answer sheet - 1

2011-12-01T06:51:00.001-08:00

Hello chobots, we are now introducing the chobots fact sheet series!

We will tell you 10 answers/facts about chobots, that have been circulating in chobots for quite a while now, and are still unanswered hugely!

1.Why were agents originally made?
Agents were originally added in chobots.com to act as moderators who monitored the chat, this was back when vayersoft lacked employees.

2.Why are agents not having powers anymore?
Agents were able to kick back in .com but a agent misused his powers, citizenship brought a lot of money to chobots and vayersoft was able to hide dedicated moderators to monitor the chat and other actions.

3.What is the current purpose of the agents?
The agentship as of now is a trophy that is awarded to the most recognized chobots, it is a symbol of expirience and wisdom in chobots, it means that the player has been loyal to chobots and has been serving it, think of it as a badge of honor.

4.What happened to the original chobots?
The original chobots.com made a huge mistake, and soon started to crumble due to that mistake, as the chobots traffic decreased from 100 to 10, hackers soon found interest and attacked chobots.

5.What was this big mistake of vayersoft?
Vayersoft as most people say became obsessed with money, and tried to spoil the game over the limits for it, even after buying citizenship the players had to pay extra cash for the best clothes, they had to pay to get good amount of bugs and such, this made chobots frustrated and leave.

6.Who hacked chobots?
Chobots was hacked by a hacker called ghoni, with the assistance of his friends and its control panel was sabotaged, we believe vayersoft either did not have a backup or were unable the security loophole, causing chobots to close down.

7.Who is this ghoni?
Ghoni is a chobot who held a grudge, ever since he was first banned from chobots, he was even awarded with the agentship badge and then he went rogue when he was banned, he is currently a 14 year old boy.

8.Is chobots.net safe?
No website is totally 100 percent safe, the security loophole that was struct by the hackers has been completely eliminated from the code of .net, however it is near impossible that in the next 3 years chobots wont be hacker minorly or majorly.

9.What is the full release?
Chobots is currently in a state of "beta" meaning that nothing is guaranteed, i feel that it is too early to release chobots citizenship as it is not even fully released yet, at the time of full release chobots servers are expected to be up 24/7 on a powerful host with minimum bugs and glitches.

10.What is the special item of the full release?
Although we do not know for sure, all hints point that the release will be around the time of Christmas and the release will feature the Santa suit as the beta item which will then not be acquirable by any chobot EVER again once the Santa quest goes away.

We hope you enjoyed our answers list, be sure to check every few days for the next most popular gossip/questions answered!

Earning money in chobots

2011-11-20T06:23:00.001-08:00

A lot of you have requested this guide, so here it is, chobots money making guide, here we list the top five ways to earn bugs!

PS:You might also like our Invisiblity guide for chobots!

Okay then lets begin, these following are a few of the best ways!

1.Choproff
When choproff is in town so is the money! Choproff pays you 200 bugs for each quiz of just a few questions.
However choproff is removed often to be replaced by characters such as chopix and chistochob, and santa aswell!
Check out our Choproff answers guide to learn the answers to all knows choproff questions, whether you are stuck or just dont know the answers and wanna finish him quickly for lots of cash!

2.Nichos kingdom
The nichos kingdom comes in second after choproff to earning cash, for citizens it is a instant moneymaker!
To play this mission, you need a lightbulb, speed magic and ghost magic, all of which can be purchased from the magic shop.
After this, simply swallow your ghost magic and walk past the lasers, grab speed magic and run past the bridge, and with a friend or two's help pull the rope, enjoy your cash and take the nicho mask from the guy, selling it gives you a few extra cash!

3.Chothrow(Citizens only)
Chothrow is a good way to make cash as if you are a expert in it, you can easily finish the game in seconds, allowing you to collect the cash pretty fast and quick, and if you need any help, you always have friends.

4.Space racing with a friend
Space racing is a fast way to make cash with a friend's support, constantly joining and quitting will get the other player a lot of cash!
Note:We are receiving reports that this may be against the rules, but if it was to be against the rules it would of simply been disabled :)

5. Contests!
Contests may not be the best way to make cash, but when there is a official gaming contest it results in lots of citizenship, so you actually win citizenship and to win it you win lots of games, giving you lots of cash in the process, so in the end, this is a win win situation and perosnally, i say its the best way!

Enjoy the guide, and keep chobotting :)
You may also be intrested in the chobots safety guide to prevent yourself from being hacked!

Chobots safety - How to remain safe.

2011-11-19T00:48:00.001-08:00

There have been a good amount of reports about nichos hacking into other chobots's accounts, so we are here to share some very important tips!

1.Sharing
Sharing your password or info should NEVER happen, remember you(the average chobot) has a chance of being hacked 0.009% if you do not give out your password but get hacked in another way! Because the only other way is to use high level hacks, and someone capable to do that will not bother with you(average chobot's) account but would rather dangle with mods and agents...

2.Making a good password
Making a good password is extremely important, you do not want to put your name as your password and nothing like your email or family member's plain name either!
Here are a few tips to making up a good password :-

Make it long, for example my own password is pretty long, making it all the harder to guess!
Make it wild, but familiar! Have a name that is pretty wild and has a low chance to come up in other's heads but you can always remember it!
If possible put in numbers, although i myself dont have numbers in my password because i like the way it is, research shows that putting random numbers in your password decreases hacking chances by 70%!

3.Taking care of your email

You need to take care of your email adress aswell, if a hacker hacks it EVERYTHING you have will be his, he can hack any account including your chobots account or any other account!

Last but not least, be careful and stay safe.

How to become totally invisible in chobots!

2011-11-17T06:41:00.000-08:00

Chobot yahoo as seen here, is fully invisible, not even the name shows up in show chobot names!

Do you want to be invisible like the chobot in the screenshot above?Well here is how!

You will need :-
Citizenship
The following items on the magic catalogs

Black hole magic, spy magic and shadow magic

Ghost magic, tiny magic, drunk magic

Now just use all of these up, and what you get is what you see above!

How strong is this invisiblity?Lets see!

As you can see in the x ray there is absolutely no sign left at all!

Even the name is hidden, the only possible way to know you are there is if someone hovers over you with show chobots names disabled and sees your name!

Now go on chobots, scare other chobots or simply amaze them, make them think your a nicho spy or a messenger of the invisible group, you can do a lot of things with total invisiblity :)

2011-11-16T07:36:00.000-08:00

Guys, chobotstimes has been attacked in a wierd way, the menu bar isnt showing and apparantly all out site backups have been erased somehow! We are trying to restore chobotstimes, bear with us for the time being!
All the posts will be delivered as normal, tomorrow's post- How to become full invisible on chobots!

We have to switch back to our original template till we figure out what is going on, we still dont know who the attacker was and why he wants to attack chobotstimes, but we feel the new design may have a security loop.

The only way to fix chobotstimes was to fully reformat the blog removing the hacker's influence, template restored, we lost everything other than the posts...

Chobots sweet battle tips n tricks!

2011-11-14T02:05:00.000-08:00

Sweet battle in chobots is a popular game, here is a sweet battle guide, with its tips and tricks!

Weapons:-

Salt -

The salt is most probably the most lethal weapon in the game if used correct, but if used with tactics, it can be thrice as lethal!
While you can use the salt to attack a enemy, the dispenser is slow and the enemy will often move out of the way, however you can use that to your advantage and actually target the salt at the most logical place your enemy is to move to avoid the salt, or use it to lure him in a weak spot!

Cake-

The cake can get pretty lethal in close combat, a cake explodes when hitting the ground and throws out walnuts that cause damage, but if the cake hits a player without exploding it costs the player a whopping 20hp!
The cake is the most lethal weapon in close combat, with candy bar being second!

Candy bar-

Candy bar is the second most lethal weapon in close combat, a expirienced player can constantly throw candy bars and easily deal out about 30-50 hp damage. A cake in close combat is much more deadly, but it can be resisted if attacked in mid air, which often happens in close combat, using the candy bar and then cake to finish off your target can be a good tactic!A candy bar tends to bounce and may even hit you back so watch out!

Stargun-

The stargun is a multi purpose gun often used in battle, the stargun is popular for a variety of uses which include destroying enemy cakes and other weapons, to constantly rain stars on the enemy and much more, the stargun is like a machinegun of sweet battle and can effectively open fire at rapid rates, the damage isnt low and expirience players can get it to act like a defense shield against attacks

Bubblegun-

The bubble gun is a gun which fires 12 bubbles and is available 3 times, meaning a total of 36 bubbles and each bubble that hits the target costs 2hp to the target, however using the bubblegun isnt always a good choice since it paralyses you for a few seconds and the opponent can simply move and attack you with something like the salt or cake!

Chakra-

Chakra is a lethal and fast weapon that hit the player for 10hp and turn around, and if used properly it can return and return to cause the player a loss of several healthpoints, watch out the chakra can hit you too!

Bubble-

The bubble is a prison for a player and can effectively imprison him, paralyzing him for the next few minutes, just like the chakra the bubble can also get hit by a impulse and turn around for a second shot but it takes 3 collisions to be destroyed, and the last thing on earth you want to do is trap yourself in your own bubble!
The bubble is slow and its hard to hit a enemy with it, but if you do imprison him inside one he is fully weak till you deal a attack to him, now call in a salt or slammer him with cakes boys!

Landmine-
The landmine is pretty weak but can help you fight off a close-combat specialist, when you place a land mine any player(including you!) that steps on it will take a 10 health point damage, so use it carefully!

Acorn-
The acorn is not the best weapon, if you hit someone with a acorn which is pretty hard the enemy takes a 1hp damage, however acorn often explodes in mid air after travelling a very short distance, popping out popcorns, if you time it perfectly you can attack your opponent with some hefty health points damage!

Thats all for now, stay tuned!

Just to clear out some confusion going around

2011-11-03T02:08:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome chobots, there has been some confusion going around with the server downtime and the hackings of the chobots.com systems.

First of all, the .net servers being down is just some downtime for maintenance, as the team stated the servers keep crashing(And you have no idea how hard and costly it is to get them back up if they crash this frequently) Hence they are off for a maximum of 24 hours to clean up the confusion

Okay, now about the .com hackings, first of all, chobots.com was hacked by striking a mere loophole, the hackers got lucky and found a hole in the security, it is impossible to avoid all holes no matter what, and the chances for the hackers to hack chobots.net again is one in a thousand.
Also there has been some "hacker chat" going around, first of all read the makings of the words, the hackers are merely talking about some kiddish stuff, don't worry and seriously, stop being so easily afraid.They are just some small kids who will finally give up soon, not that they are getting anywhere already..

Chobots blogging guide - Part one!

2011-11-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

We all know you guys are waiting for a long time for this guide to come out.
It was hard to collect the content, and the guide will be released in several parts, one after the other.

In this guide we will discuss the basics, if you already have a blog set up you might still want to read this, you may have missed a few points!

The most conflicting part of your blog setup and the most important, is the host. You can choose either blogger or WordPress, both have their advantages and disadvantages, Chobotstimes is hosted over blogspot, blogspot is the most popular host for chobots blog due to it being free.

Other than blogspot, the second choice is often WordPress which is much better and powerful than blogger, if you are willing to spend cash on it, but if you want to run a blog without spending a penny, blogspot is a much more logical choice.

Okay, in this tutorial in particular we will focus on setting up that blogspot blog and getting it kickstarted, we may publish a follow up for wordpress blogs if we feel the need.

Alright, so you are all ready to finally set up your first blog(Or checking if you left something in your already set up blog).Go to blogspot.com to get started, now sign up for your blog, there are some important points here!

Your blog's url should be easy and good, if possible refrain from using numbers and make a easy to read title, if your title is bad you probably wont be having so many returning visitors!
The title should be something good, you can have it plain but if you want make it catchy, we personally prefer to keep it plain however.

Template : Pick any template out of there, in the next part of the tutorial we will show you how to customize this template, pick anything other than dynamic views unless you want your blog to be extremely limited forever. Now your blog has been set up, a blogspot blog with a good link, a good title and what else!

What now?

Your journey has only begun, the first thing you should do is to publish a hello post, keep it simple!(You can refer to our hello post for reference)

Once you have posted your hello post, this may not be the best time to start shouting about your blog to everyone, The blogspot title isnt the most attractive either!

You can get a shortened version of your blog's link at www.tk, our own shortname for the site is chobotstimes.tk. But remember, this short link is ONLY for giving out to normal people, when someone links to your blog and stuff, give your blogspot link!

Okay, so you now have a set up blog with a very good name and a hello post, it is time to start blogging!

In the past two of this guide, we will show you how to publish quality posts or how to make your blog look good and design it!(It will be either one of them)

Good bye and see you soon, the basics are now your playtools!

Chobots build 1.8.3 and happy halloween!

2011-10-30T22:16:00.000-07:00

Alright guys beta 1.8.3 is here and you guessed it!

Okay, today are no halloween updates(BOO!) but they will be added tomorrow, as according to George the halloween updates will follow the US time

Anyways, here are the witch's items, she has decided to sell her final stock off a day early!

Bat wings, halloween shirt, a witch costume for girls, so much stuff!
Remember, the witch will go away soon after halloween is over!

Beta 1.8.2 and blogging guide announcement

2011-10-30T00:42:00.000-07:00

Hello chobots, first of all we must apologize for not updating before, however we were unsure about the updates, and felt that we should first confirm before guiding you in the false path.

So the beta 1.8.2 is here, with a few new additions

First stop, the time room
The chobots team has added "portals" to the future and past
Note:The future mission and cafe street will NOT replace the current ones, they are there due to a roleplay of time travel, and nothing more.Check out the mission street

You can check out more streets such as the above, at the time room!

Next up, the evil evil witch!

A ghost suit, a vampire suit and a zombie suit!
I wonder what will be up next?hmm...

Also, let us now talk about two very important announcements and details.

The first announcement, is our new several part series of blogging guides.
We will feature several things, such as how to pick a good host, how to get a good template, how to write proper content, how to get better search rankings, and much more, so stay tuned chobots!

Also the chobots beta has come close to an end, we will soon exit beta mode and enter the full release, we estimate that this release will come with Christmas, similar to two years ago when .com was released.
Stay tuned, chobots release will give a rare item, last time it was a Santa clause suit, which proved to be rare indeed in the long run, let us see what the chobots team gives us this time, or maybe it will just give Santa suit again!

Also we will soon publish a sweet battle guide, with tactics to win!

Beta 1.8.1, the beach is gone!

2011-10-27T12:56:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome chobots, we have another new update!
We have now entered beta 1.8.1, and a new room is here, we are still exploring for any more updates.The witch is a bit late on her stuff, and will probably bring in the goods at beta 1.8.2 or beta 1.9

Anyways, we have a new room, the time room.

We are unsure why it is called the time room, feel free to comment if you know the answer! The timeroom can be accessed via rockemall street, and here check out how cool it looks

Also, the beach has dissapeared from academy street, it seems that the file still exists and you can still enter the beach via the following steps!
Click on the comet at the map, and you will be taken to snowland, you can then simply go to the forest, snowland park or the beach, here is the comet in case you did now know it already!

Enjoy the 1.8.1 updates, and comment if you find any more updates!

Hello and welcome, beta 18!

2011-10-26T23:19:00.000-07:00

Hello chobots,

As we all know chobots has now entered beta build 18, meaning we are getting closer to the full release!

So now we have some more locations to show you, upgrades if you wish to call them, and they can be accessed by anyone, let us explore.

First of all, the beach has been fixed.

As you can see, the water has finally been fixed and is loading, and it now has a new door, the forest.I would not be surprised if i saw some water games appearing here.

Let us explore the new forest then

The forest was added yesterday as part of the beta 1.7.1 update, but was located at the makeyourownhouse room, now it has been moved to the beach, i believe the hollow space near your home will be filled with the forest.Yesterday(Beta 1.7.1) the person over there was a "pet constructor" however was bugged, so he is removed now.There were two fires aswell, one is gone now.

Let us now check out that portal to snowland

It seems chobots is getting ready for christmas, and "snowland" is the place that will most probably replace the forest at christmas, you can also now play with the ice-balls, the fourth tree paint balls available only in snowy maps, when its christmas!

There is also another way to get to snowland, it seems it is currently located on a comet, and you can click the comet from the map to arrive at snowland!

Next up, is the park.This is the park that has replaced the initial park at christmas for the past years, and will probably replace this year's park aswell!

It seems that snowland is a sneak peek of what is coming for christmas, but for now we have halloween on our heads you know! The witch is now behind with the updates, and has brought in a new broomstick!

You may fly on the broomstick for only 3666, but remember, it may be tricky to keep your hold on it!

Click here to check out yesterday's halloween item!

Also we have a late entry by the locstaff, where now the two catalogs have seperated, and the witch's brother is here!

Lets check it out

As you can see, the wizard is here, and he keeps disappearing and reappearing aswell!The wizard will sell you the following :-

Whereas the stuff catalog will offer you these

PS:It seems the stuff catalog is packed for christmas, it may be so that locstaff MAY be released to the public around christmas aswell!

Hello and welcome chobots,
Have you noticed that witch bringing in lots of supplies?She is opening her own stall for sale!Yesterday she unloaded a pumpkin backpack and today, she gave me fangs!

Anyway, today she has brought in a vampire costume for sale, you can find her at the good old cafe street.

These fangs will replace any mask/hairstyle you have on.

Hurry up and grab your costume of the day, tomorrow there will be another costume, still 5 more costumes to go!

Some secret stuff - Locstaff - Mod magic!!

2011-10-25T11:39:00.000-07:00

Hello chobots, i am sure you have been waiting DESPERATELY for this, and so was i.
I am here to bring you pictures of two hidden places, with the new magic catalog aswell, however you need a invite to get here

Our first stop, is the party hall :-

The party hall is still widely unknown, however one thing we are sure of, is that it is made for a party and will probably serve as grounds for future chobots parties!

And now, the grand finale :-

This is smoo's and my own favorite place, this also can be accessed by a invite or teleport only.There is a magic catalog for your use where everything is pretty pricey, two magics are 15000 and 10000 respectively, rest go up to 60000-150000 bugs. You can perform a mod magic if you have them, heres a sneak peak of the magic catalog!

There is also a third "secret" location, but we will not be disclosing any info about it on smoo's will.

So thats it chobots!Start saving up on the cash, who knows when you will get the invite to LocStaff(Staff hq, where the catalog is) and buy some of the magical goodness!

How to be an agent

2011-10-25T00:07:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to be an agent?Well we cant use our magic wands to make you one, but we can give you some tips to being one!

1.Chobots is all about friends and family, always reach out to others, and have yourself noticed.

2.Always be helpful, the chobots moderators are around anywhere, but remember the last thing the moderators want is greedy chobots who just want the badge, so remember when you help someone you do it because you want to, and not the badge!

3.Once you have a few friends, get yourself noticed.This is a tricky part, since you need to reach out to a big audience.Starting a blog, making a youtube channel with good videos and such can be a good idea for this.

4.Once you have friends, a large audience and a good attitude, the chobots staff will start monitoring you, closely.You must make sure you are very good and helpful, but remember that going around cafe street shouting for tours may not be the correct way!

4.When the moderators are watching you, you must be helpful to your good audience, remember having a audience is a important point, afterall agents with little word out to the public arent as good to secure chobots, and the moderators know it!If you have lots of friends, and a large audience you have the ability to help chobots out in good amounts, and that is what the moderators look for!

5.Once you have got everything, there are different ways in which the moderators may make you a agent once you have achieved the above, this may be a agent poll, or the mods making you a agent ingame and many other ways.

So remember, Be helpful, be good, be known, become a agent.

We have good news! Chobotstimes has been restored!

As we all know, i Aayush was away for about 2 years, and upon my return i saw that chobots was hacked and destroyed.I successfully discovered the backup and the new chobots, chobots.net.

Chobotstimes will now focus on everyone about chobots, remember chobots.com has moved to chobots.net!

You can expect updates and guides soon.
