Removed some power rounds which were disliked by many players, had issues or were similar to other power rounds.

- Extremely Realistic
- Removed as it was causing many issues with props and performance.

- Slo Mo
- Removed as it was changing the server's timescale instead of player speed / causing a few other issues.

[CHANGED] Force taunt is now only available for Web and Favourite taunts, with the same price as before '2000 Diamonds'
