:Pac Chat, as it is so lovingly referred to, is that little php chat application in the upper-left corner of your page (in most layouts). The name is derived from the shape of the original icon for it, a small Pacman-like figure shooting sound-waves at an invisible enemy.

HoboWars2 Pac Chat

Pac Chat is a PHP chat application on HoboWars that was accessible from the Original layout. The name is derived from its representative icon, a small, Pac-Man-like figure shooting sound waves at an invisible enemy.

HoboWars2 is the only version retaining Pac Chat. Access is obtained through typing in its URL in a browser's address bar and pressing enter, or by following a direct link to it.

Nowadays, Pac Chat is empty. Very, very empty. This is mainly because of the presence of a newer, better chat application, HoboWars Chat.

Rules

  1. Do not talk about Pac Chat.
  2. DO NOT talk about Pac Chat.
  3. Do not use acronyms; we don't like them.
  4. Do not try and pick a fight if you're a non-donator, a.k.a., a whitey. You'll know if you're a whitey.
  5. Misspellings and grammatical errors will earn you a beating.
  6. No shirts, no shoes.
  7. If you don't like what someone is saying, leave. Don't be a bitch.
  8. Your text color shouldn't be black. It can be close. Just not black.
  9. Try to avoid using boldfaced or underlined text all the time. You wouldn't hand in a résumé of all boldfaced text, now, would you?
  10. If this is your first night in Pac Chat, you have no idea what you're doing.
