Chaos Hours

The term Chaos Hours refers to periods of themed spam in Chatnotwt. There are many types of chaos hours, and this wiki prioritizes those that need extra context to understand. For example, "wholesome hours" and "self promo hours" are fairly straightforward, but "barson" hours are often confusing to newcomers.

Occasionally, the count stops for chaos hours, depending on whether or not the current counter is comfortable with counting through spam.

## UwU hours

"UwU" hours are characterized by a spam of all caps and "UwU speech", during which Chatnotwt members often refer to Philza as "Phiwza Minecwaft" or other similar variants of his username. An account by the name of uwuhours\_ only appears during UwU hours, though the user behind this account is currently unknown. Recently, UwU hours have largely fallen out of popularity, with more Chatnotwt-centric memes taking their place.

## Bee hours

Bee hours originated when Justsurfin made Arie watch the 2007 film The Bee Movie after finding out she never watched it and then involved Ch33kcl4pp3r into bullying Arie to accepting bees as superior. They then created a group named the "Bee Bois" after roping Ased in. These individuals created alts with usernames that were combinations of their usenames and the term "bee conspirator". A separate group called the "bee gang" was later created, which includes any Chatnotwt member who appreciates bees or the bee movie, often symbolized with a bee-themed alt. Bee hours are marked by bee alts coming out to talk, conversations about bee appreciation, and spam of the letter "b" or bee emotes.

## Bus mode

Bus mode originates from a typo that user rugrox made when he was discussing Philza putting the chat in sub-only mode and misspelled "sub" as "bus". Bus mode hours involve spam of all caps, bus-related emojis (🚌, 🚍), the phrase "bus mode", and requests to put various people or items in buses. This is often also used as a threat to kill or hide said people or items.

### 🚌 🔥 BARSON 🔥 🚌

"Barson" hours (a combination of "bus" and "arson") are a variant of bus mode marked by spam of the fire emoji, bus emoji, and "BARSON" in all caps.

## Bro hours

Bro hours began when a newcomer to the chat typed "bro" in their first message, prompting a group of Chatnotwt members to begin talking in "bro speak". Bro hours are marked by the appearance of bro-themed alts and people including "bro" in every message. The most notorious bro alts are of Indigo, Hiiden, Cheeky, and Seren, but many others also join in on the chaos.

Some members are opposed to bro hours, but their protests usually only encourage the bros.

## Space cult/hours

During space hours, Chatnotwt members put spaces between each character of their messages. Those who join in are considered part of the "space cult." If a counter is participating in space hours, they may choose to put a space between each digit.

During the conception of the space cult, there was a "war" between the space cult and those opposed it, aka. the "antispacecult." The latter was primarily concerned with the legibility of messages, as when a message contains characters with more than one space between them, Twitch automatically removes any excess spaces. (ex. the messages "space cult" as two words and "spacecult" as one word would both appear as "s p a c e c u l t". This caused issues with other phrases that produced more ambiguous sequences of letters.) A difficulty understanding messages sent in the style of the space cult arose.

As a result, the space cult often use punctuation to mark the spaces between words, usually a hyphen "-" (ex. "s p a c e - c u l t").

The memory of a poke who simply said ''gu'' prompted a wave of spaced out messages like "g u" (and variations including "g u m a n" and "g u m a n a s a i"), "m m m"s of varying lengths, "h i v e m i n d", "g u e b o" (and several misspellings, including "g u e b i"), and "s u b s c r i b e t o t e c h n o b l a d e" (which was often responded to with spaced out "a g r e e d''s). To get others to join them, the space cult would chant "o n e o f u s".

## Ased hours (Pink hours)

Ased hours, formerly known as Pink hours, occur when a significant number of chatters change their username to the Twitch color hotpink. The first instance of this happening was on 9th Nov 2020, the first day of Chatnotwt, when chatters changed their usernames pink to show their collective enjoyment of Technoblade's content. This later developed into a now-obsolete system of organization in which one would change their display name to match their preferred content creator (goldenrod for WilburSoot, green for Philza, etc).

About an hour into the second iteration of the space cult, the majority of Chatno members active at the time changed their usernames to hot pink in the Twitch chat and peer pressured other users to join. Pink hours returned on the day of the first spam count to 1 million, when old users flooded the chat to celebrate and encouraged others to change their display name to pink so that the counters who were duo-ing at the time could see each other's usernames easier.

On June 15, 2021, active members of Chatnotwt voted tor rename Pink hours to Ased hours in honor of Ased, a member of Chatnotwt who we miss very much and is on hiatus.
