Why do you need 200 characters? Atleast attempt to optimize it :P

The length of the word Kills(plus ":") is 6. Add in 3 characters for the kill number and 1 for the space. That's 10.
The length of the world Money(plus ":") is also 6. Add in 7 characters for the money amount and 1 for the space. That's another 14. Total of 24.
Add in some extra characters, just to make sure. Make it 32.
32, 200, see the difference? You won't need more than 32...

Ofcourse it does, if it didn't, everyone would have 1024 cell strings all over the place.
It makes the compiled file heavier (takes more time to compile), and it slows the server.
