Example 3:

"hint" remoteExec ["hello", -2]; // runs hint "hello" everywhere but server

Example 4:

"hint" remoteExec ["hello", -2, "IamUnique"]; // runs hint "hello" everywhere but server and puts the message into the JIP queue. // Everytime new players connect, "hello" message will be displayed for them
