Are you aware that you can post a video or audio file in the party room that does not show you playing, if you are not after a badge. We are after participation, so if you want to add to a party and not show yourself, feel free. I added an mp3 audio file to Stringy's Spring Plant Party. After all, it is a party room, be creative if you wish, have fun! You must be the one playing, though.Mouse
