I was introduced to the game by my cousin in-law (my uncle's wife's son) back in 2010.
He and I used to play games together back then like Warcraft III, GunZ, BF2, Modern Warfare 2, etc.
One day when I went over to his house he was playing Toribash and I immediately hated it lol.
I thought it looked completely stupid but I somehow got into playing it anyway. I guess it was the fact that it was kind of challenging at the time for me.
He stopped playing sometime around 2012 but I ended up staying around in the community/forum not necessarily ingame though.
I for some reason "fell for" marketing in Toribash and stuck around mostly for that even when I couldn't actually play Toribash because I didn't have a computer, I was marketing with my little shit cell phone lol. Which, funny story is that I used it so much to market with that over the summer I had warped my battery as it had overheated. So it's battery life started to be shorter and shorter and had to constantly be on the charger. Most people know me for my part in "marketing" as MocroGunz/DruggedPanda but I used to play Toribash and was quite good at judofrac, aikidobigdojo, and judo. At one time I was pretty good at rk-mma and lenshu too.
