Chat Flurries

Chat flurries are short bursts where reward spawn rates are temporarily multiplied. During a flurry, every message has a much higher chance of triggering a reward. At the end, the bot posts a summary of total credits earned and who earned the most.

They're most useful for waking up a quiet channel or kicking off a server event — a flurry immediately drives activity and gives members something to compete over.

Two Types of Flurries​

Automatic Flurries​

Triggered randomly when a member's message rolls against the chat-flurries drop rate.

  • Duration: 10–15 seconds
  • Spawn rate boost: 10–25× (randomized)
  • No credits multiplier — just more frequent reward drops

Manual Flurries (Admin)​

Started on demand with /spawn chat-flurry. More control over parameters.

/spawn chat-flurry [drop_rates_multiplier] [credits_multiplier] [duration]
ParameterFreePremium
drop_rates_multiplierup to 3×up to 3×
credits_multiplierup to 5×up to 10×
duration5–60 seconds5–180 seconds

At least one multiplier (drop_rates_multiplier or credits_multiplier) must be provided. Only one flurry can be active per server at a time.

See Spawn for more on manually starting flurries.

What Happens During a Flurry​

  • The bot announces the flurry in the channel with the duration and spawn multiplier
  • Message rewards drop at the boosted rate
  • If a credits_multiplier is set, credits awarded during the flurry are multiplied
  • Blacklisted and opted-out members cannot earn rewards during flurries
  • At the end, the bot posts a summary:
🎉 CHAT FLURRY OVER! 🎉

Outstanding! You guys earned 2300 credits in total!

1. @UserA — 600 credits
2. @UserB — 450 credits
3. @UserC — 375 credits

Frequency​

Control how often automatic flurries appear with the chat-flurries rate in /rates manage. Recommended starting point: 0.1–0.25%.

Tips​

  • Manual flurries work well for server events, milestones, or low-activity periods
  • The leaderboard in the end-of-flurry summary drives friendly competition
  • Announce a manual flurry in advance so members know to get active

Troubleshooting​

Flurries never start automatically:

  • Check /rates view — chat-flurries rate must be above 0%
  • Confirm at least one active channel is configured
