Hello everyone It may sound a dumb question but I asked ata and the apes said to ask here lol so here I am. Does relationship affect your ranking at all or Overall Ranking? Can your rs bring down your rank or raise it up? Thank you for those who can take the time to answer.
Yup, everything in the "Breakdown Bonus" on your profile affects both your ranking within your club and your overall ranking in the game.
It probably was not a significant enough change to warrant a change in positioning. The person above you probably still has more of an overall better ranking than you, so you would need to invest quite some more in tutors, upgrade your dorm tower, collect more misc, upgrade your furni, level up your pets, find an RS with very high stats, and complete more stat-based awards to improve your ranking. Also note that it can take a few moments for club ranking to adjust, and overall game ranking adjusts at changeover.
