Why has my rank been stuck for the last 3 weeks, and when will it go back to normal? It's kind of disconcerting.

Also, why does nobody acdtually discuss the multiplayer aspect of toribash here? There's only so many times i can care about the UKE getting dismembered.

I think that it is too difficult to really discuss multiplayer toribash because of the endless scenarios that can occur in all of the different game-modes.
If you want general advice on multiplayer, I'd probably just ask someone you see in a server who you think is good (Just not in a fanboy kinda way), and they will probably give you some pretty decent pointers.
If they aren't a dick, that is.
