[[Emote rarity]] exists within many different facets of several [[emotes]] in [[DGG chat]]—a unique feature that sets it apart from many chat rooms. Rare emotes are variations of emotes that provide some visually distinctive alteration to a normal emote, most commonly 'gold' versions (or other colors, usually colors of rare gems/minerals) that are given to chatters 'randomly'. That being said, two other categories of rare emotes exist—user-based, and subscription based.
 
== 'Probability'-based ==
While the [[Cabge]], [[glorp]], and [[WEOW]] 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 milliseconds, or seconds for the rarer emotes.
 
Functionally, this allows for emotes to be semi-random (as sending an emote at a specific time is seen as essentially random as it is based on the hundreds to thousands of milliseconds seconds sent, rather than based on the minute, second, etc. leaving it mostly immune to tampering/forcing rare variants, though it has been alleged some users use scripts to try to send messages at specific times to increase their odds of posting a rare variant (though this practice has been discouraged).
 
Additionally, this time-based pseudo-random-chance serves to reduce the chances of multiple chatters from getting them at the same time, as two chatters typing an emote at the same time will Combine to form a Combo and allowing them to seem more rare.
 
Functionally, the chat handles this by changing messages with a certain {{wiki|Unix time|Unix timestamp}} ending in predetermined strings to the rare variants. For example, the golden glorp requires that a user post a message with a time stamp ending in <code>696</code>, meaning that (roughly) in any given second, you have around a 1 in 1000 chance of the message being posted in the chat at that specific millisecond.

Emote rarity exists within many different facets of several emotes in DGG chat—a unique feature that sets it apart from many chat rooms. Rare emotes are variations of emotes that provide some visually distinctive alteration to a normal emote, most commonly 'gold' versions (or other colors, usually colors of rare gems/minerals) that are given to chatters 'randomly'. That being said, two other categories of rare emotes exist—user-based, and subscription based.

'Probability'-based

While the Cabge, glorp, and WEOW rare emote variants are thought of as having a programmed random occurrence, (e.g. random number chance) Wikipedia they are actually set to only happen at certain times—usually in the hundreds of milliseconds, or seconds for the rarer emotes.

Functionally, this allows for emotes to be semi-random (as sending an emote at a specific time is seen as essentially random as it is based on the hundreds to thousands of milliseconds seconds sent, rather than based on the minute, second, etc. leaving it mostly immune to tampering/forcing rare variants, though it has been alleged some users use scripts to try to send messages at specific times to increase their odds of posting a rare variant (though this practice has been discouraged).

Additionally, this time-based pseudo-random-chance serves to reduce the chances of multiple chatters from getting them at the same time, as two chatters typing an emote at the same time will Combine to form a Combo and allowing them to seem more rare.

Functionally, the chat handles this by changing messages with a certain Unix timestamp Wikipedia ending in predetermined strings to the rare variants. For example, the golden glorp requires that a user post a message with a time stamp ending in 696, meaning that (roughly) in any given second, you have around a 1 in 1000 chance of the message being posted in the chat at that specific millisecond.

User-based

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 dggL and 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 CSS Wikipedia 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.)
