Well after playing FTB1 and FTB2 for years, I finally decided to get FTB3. So yea I am a complete noob on the game because I just got it yesterday. Its pretty fun but I have a few questions and was wondering if you guys could help me..

1) I have played like 15 ranked games already since yesterday, but how come it only shows I have 6 kills in my stats? Shouldn't I have more kills since I played 15 ranked games and not 1? I have been using Spoof Rank, so could it be that the code has been causing me to not rank up, or is this something normal for the FTB3 leader-board.. taking a long time to update?

2) I see alot of people talking in-game, but I cant seem to figure out how to talk.. I tried circle like how it is in the older FTB games but I still cant seem to figure out lol..

3) Are there any rankup codes? How did all the people at the top of the leaderboards get there? Im assuming its a rankup code..

My PSN is ftb-terrorz, thanks in advance :)
