It's also nice to have enough songs at my disposal to not repeat them too much. > I wanted to be able to have like voice chat / announcers on the server. I thought this would just be a cool idea to play with in general due to the nature of the gamemode and the way the whole betting system will work and such. > There's more, trust me... |

Also, I would refuse to join your stream. Besides, Ive seen a total of perhaps a handful of servers that use music effectively. Syncing is a bad option because it drags everyone into the same song at the same time forcing all players to stick together. Either that or music placement would not make sense. |
