You Gained: Chat Nuke Plans

Chat nukes. Some of you guys know them, some of you don't. A chat nuke is kind of what it sounds like. But not really. A chat nuke can happen to anyone. You can be either just chatting, or dealing with a troll invasion. Doesn't matter what you're doing, your chat screen can suddenly just go black. Nothing there. Pow. It's like all the text turned invisible, but it didn't. Here are some common things that people state about the chat nuke that may or may not be true.

A chat nuke deletes all text in the chat before it. It literally nukes it.

Wrong! A chat nuke appears to delete the text, but if you scroll up it's still there. The text appears, and then it shows somebody saying " " except longer. It covers the whole screen. It's really annoying, but it's only done when it needs to be done, right? If everybody could do the chat nuke, then the chat would be bombed back to the stone age. That's why only mods can chat nuke. Oh, wait..

Moderators are the only people who can chat nuke.

Wrong! Anyone can chat nuke. Kongregate didn't implement a chat nuke because it's an exploitation of programming. Anyone can type in the chat nuke code and have a whole screen of blank lines, appearing to nuke the chat.

I wouldn't reccomend doing it in public though (In PM to some person that doesn't exist, or in a game with an empty multiplayer room would be fine) because you'll be silenced. Seriously. It happened just as I finished writing this article. So, don't abuse the chat nuke. There's a reason Kongregate doesn't let you use enter. It would lead to chat nukes. See, that's why this code is similar to enter. In fact, it's EXACTLY like enter, which leads us to..

Chat nuking is made by typing in a code and copy-pasting it over and over again.

Correct! For every one chat nuke code you have, you have one space. Typing the chat nuke code until the limit of characters is reached lets you create a massacre of empty spaces. It's really not that hard to chat nuke. The hardest part is actually learning the code. Once you know it, you'll never forget it. It's not some long long code. It's 5 characters.

The code you'll never know. Unless you know.

That's right, 5 characters. 5 characters capable of multiplying and causing destruction. I'm not saying they HAVE to multiply though..

Chat nuking destroys the entire screen whether you want to or not.

Wrong! The code for chat nuking is one enter, not one thousand of them. You can limit the chat nuking by a whole lot of spaces if you only use 4 or 8 of them. Heck, you can even use the code for good if you don't use the code for chat nuking and use it for line breaks. What would you need line breaks for in chat? I don't know. Dramatic pauses, maybe?

Okay, well, maybe not the power of good.
