Pointless because she merely says she is what starts a party, not that her presence is required for a party to continue once started.

that's the point. she walks in, the party starts, she walks out, the party continues, she walks in again, the party should start again, creating a paradox as the party was already going

No, no, no. A party doesn't start until she walks in; it doesn't start when she walks in. So a party has no obligation to start again if it's already in progress.

Nah it's like using the ignition on an already running car engine.

It makes the neighing sounds, but the car is already running, so no effect.
