The Wi-Fi name war: group chat template
A ready Discord-look chat for the group chat chaos gallery, eight messages and about 28 seconds as a video. Open it, change the words and export it as a labelled, fictional mock-up.
Preview in the Discord look
Who changed the Wi-Fi name to "Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi"?
Not me.
It was me. It is a classic.
It is 2026.
Classics do not age.
It is on the sign at the front desk.
Dax, change it back.
I changed it to "Pretty Fly 2".
The full script (8 messages)
The first four messages open on the Free plan; the rest need a paid plan.
The template: The Wi-Fi name war
The Wi-Fi name war is a eight-message template for a group chat chat: Kai, Joy and Dax trade lines from "Who changed the Wi-Fi name to 'Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi'?" to "I changed it to 'Pretty Fly 2'.", about 28 seconds as a video.
Pacing numbers: the longest bubble is message 1 at 11 words, the shortest is message 2. One question gives the chat its back-and-forth. You can change any line or name once the sample is open in the editor.
Using it in the Discord look
Give each person one habit. A character who always asks a question and one who always sends a single emoji are easy to follow in a fast scene. Extras in this look: typing dots, reactions and an online status; missing: read marks. Free accounts can use Discord without paying. Let two people agree and the third change the subject. The subject change is the beat the viewer waits for. Discord-style chats have no bubbles. Each message is a row with a round avatar, a bold username and a small timestamp, and the text sits in plain lines underneath.
What the Free plan shows
Four messages is the Free limit, so Kai's "It is 2026." is where the preview stops. Paid plans carry the remaining four messages, up to "I changed it to 'Pretty Fly 2'.", and allow more people in the scene.
Tips
- Give "Classics do not age." (message 5) an extra half second on screen.
- Leave Kai's "Who changed the Wi-Fi name to 'Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi'?" alone on screen for a full second at the start.
- A 4:5 or square crop fits a long thread on a feed better than a tall phone video.
- Rewrite the last line, "I changed it to 'Pretty Fly 2'.", in your own voice and mark the post as fiction.
- Swap Kai and Joy for two invented names of your own; shorter names make tighter bubbles on a phone.
Questions
Can I use The Wi-Fi name war on the Free plan?
Yes for the look, with limits. The Discord look is on the Free plan, and the editor loads the first four of the eight messages and two people. The rest needs a paid plan. Exports on Free carry a visible ChatsRat watermark.
How long is The Wi-Fi name war as a video?
About 28 seconds at a comfortable reading pace, counting eight messages with a short beat between them. Add a second or two for the ending card.
Is this group chat chat a real conversation?
No. It is an invented chat between Kai, Joy and Dax, made as a mock-up. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any messaging app, and look names describe a style only. Label what you publish as fiction.
Can I change the names and lines?
Yes. Open the template in the editor, replace any line or name and export your own version. Keep the characters invented, and keep the content free of real people and anything sexual.
