don't be a grouch slayer
Trust me, you want this thing to start - I mean don't get me wrong I love the ladder, but I remember playing the first 2 editions (both of them went through and both times there people saying how it would fail miserably) and I count myself very lucky to have been able to attend both times, even though we got the beejesus kicked out of us in the 2nd edition.

The thread might have been premature and the poll results will obviously count for very little in the end - but hey, this is activity as well. JJ2WC is going to liven up the place and that's always good.
