Meet Agent Q: News & Updates - May 10th.


Hello Chobots,

Recently on the wonderful world of Chobots, users have been going crazy and scattering all over the map trying to find Agent Q's satellites.

Who Is Agent Q?
Agent Q is a scientist at the Chobots Agency who is working on a space exploration. But, there's a problem! Q and his crew are far too busy testing the communication systems, and needs our help to activate the five satellite dishes spread around Chobots.

But here's the catch - They're under an invisible cloak so you need to put in some extra effort and scroll around your screen looking for these satellites.

Where Can I Find Agent Q?
Agent Q can be found inside of the Home Dome! If you're trouble finding the Home Dome - Click your map, then Home Shop in the left hand corner.

As mentioned above, this quest is not like any of the past quests we have seen before on the world of Chobots. You have to search all over the map at different locations, searching for these satellites.

How Do I Know If I Found One?
While searching through the different locations around Chobots, you might come across the Chobots loading mouse cursor, which is the gears. Once you see these, you need to click and then a little satellite will appear. Now remember, your goal is to try and collect all five so it's going to take you a while to complete, but in the end it will be all worth it.

What Do I Get For Completing This Quest?
After completing Agent Q's quest, you will receive this sweet yellow unicycle! Not many people have completed the quest yet due to it's high difficulty, so why not give it a try. Who knows, may you will be one of those lucky users to get your hands on it before everyone else.

Good luck and happy searching,
Captain

A Guide To Picking A Username



Hello,Chobots!

Well, I'm currently accepting any requested guides that are asked to be done, and one of them was a "guide to picking a username" requested by the official Chobots Twitter. So here it is! Wink

In picking a username there's a lot of aspects too look at, such as;
  • Is it interesting?
  • Is it memorable?
  • Does it express you?
  • Does it have a back story to it?

Let me explain

Is It Interesting?

Your name has to be interesting, not something dull and boring.For example, my name, MrSandbox is odd, not many people have a name with a title with it (Mr/Mrs/Miss) so it gives it a unique factor. Also 'Sandbox' is something alot of people wouldn't think of when picking a username. 


Is It Memorable?

Your name has to be memorable, people need to know who you are. They need to remember your name so it sticks in there head. For instance, the name 'Koiz' is very memorable. Even before she became a moderator everybody knew her, this was due to 2 things;
  • She was a agent and had worked to get a good reputation
  • She picked a interesting and memorable name

So in short, out of all the 4 things I think are needed. This is the most important. 


Does it express you?

This is a hard one to explain. Your name needs to express your personality, for instance, take my old friend 'Smileguy', Smileguy was a very kind and happy person. He was always smiling and always happy. So the name Smileguy expressed his personality perfectly.

Does It have a backstory to it?

Your name needs to have meaning, it needs to have a story. Take my name for instance, this is the story of how I got my name.

My Chobot's Username is MrSandbox. I got this name from a game I used to play called Counter Strike:Source there was a modification called Sandboxx. That's where I got my name from.
That explains how my name came to be. If somebody asks you why you picked that name, you need to know why.


So the above show you what it needs to have, but if your mind is completely blank, lets look at some other ways.
  • Name your chobot after your pet.
  • Name your Chobot after a Pokemon character
  • Name your Chobot after a teddy bear
  • Name your Chobot after a film character


A lot of chobots decide to name their Chobot after their pets. For instance, my friend Monty got his name from the name of his cat. 

Pokemon names are unique and will be original and un thought of. I currently use the name of a Pokemon as the name on a different website, 'Loki' is the name I use.

A lot of users decide to name their Chobot after a teddy bear they've had their whole life.This was my original intention, as my teddy bear was a snow man called 'Chilly' but the name had already been taken.

Naming your Chobot after a film character can be very effective. But do not go for a main character, go for a noticeable, yet not main Character. For instance, In the movie 'The Avengers' There are lots of main characters such as
  • The Hulk
  • Captain America
  • Iron Man
  • Thor

Yet there's characters who play a part that're noticeable, but not a main character such as
  • Hawk
  • Loki
  • The Tesseract (Although it's not a character, it's a memorable object and completes one of the 4 tasks above)


So yeah, that's my guide to picking a username.
I want to see stories underneath of how you all picked your usernames!

Thanks for now,
MrSandbox
