Thanks for playing it and giving it more air time than it probably deserved. Since people were confused about it, the “raise your rank from 3 to 1” was actually a reference to an ancient meme. I’m sad that nobody caught it. :(
No worries, it’s a pretty old meme. Robot Chicken even featured it briefly. :D
