View source for Emote rarity

[[File:Rare golden cabbage.png|200px|thumb]]

== 'Probability'-based ==
While the '''rare emote''' variants are thought of as having a programmed random occurrence, (e.g. {{wiki|Random number generation|random number chance|)}} they are actually set to only happen at certain times—usually in the hundreds of miliseconds, or seconds for the rarer emotes. This serves to reduce the chances of multiple chatters from getting them at the same time. This is done by changing messages with a certain {{wiki|Unix time|Unix timestamp}} ending in predetermined strings (gold with "69", platinum with "420", emerald with "6969", and diamond with "42069") to the rare variants, making it unlikely to be able to game the system (as a user would have to post the emote at the exact millisecond needed for the rare variant)—effectively creating what appears to be random chance. A few days after being added, rare variants were 10 times more rare than they are now (and were originally).

== User-based ==
[[File:Rare_purple_glorp.png|200px|thumb]]
Certain rare variants are based on the user typing them - the most common of which was the rare Mel variants of emotes that [[Melina]] had, such as her [[File:dggL_Mel.png]] [[dggL]] and [[File:GIGAMEL.png]] [[GIGACHAD]]. 

Certain users also have "golden" variants of YEE and PEPE, such as [[JadyrVernanda]], as well as [[PRSEK]] and [[cyver]], respectively.

== Subscription-based ==
A few emotes have what can arguably be considered rarity by way of [[subscription]]-gated additions/coloring to emotes, primarily [[dggL]], [[BLADE]], and [[GIGACHAD]]. These modifications are expressed in the {{wiki|CSS}} of the chat and essentially boil down to a change in the color when hovered over or the color of an element on the emote (e.g. the heart of the dggL changing color or the blade of BLADE changing.)

== Emotes with rare variants ==
''{{small|'''LEGEND:''' RED denotes emotes variant that no longer exist as it has been deprecated. GREEN denotes an emote variant that is currently still in use. Table is organized alphanumerically.}}''
