Good, this should definetly renew some of the interest in the game and maybe even snatch up some new players. I doubt a clan ladder would ever work so I'm glad it will be 1 on 1.

However, I do not see the point in making a new IRC channel for this. It's really not necessary because we already have #jj2 and, to me, it seems logical that if there is anything to renew jj2 discussion, #jj2 is the place it should be directed. Perhaps a deal could be worked out where the ClanBase officials get +v or something else, I don't know. I just don't think a new channel has any real point. Others concur with me.
