general idea behind this game was branched off from a previous idea posted here
my idea would be that the game should be both extendible by and compatible with mods
feedback & suggestions greatly appreciated

next, players vote for the amount of teams (2 to 9), with each team containing at least 3 members
finally, players vote for the gamemode (only classic or mortality rn) and setup (either a inbuilt one or one added via mods) that will be in place for the round
