As long as I'm making suggestions, this is another one I've been kicking around...
I was just thinking that it would be kinda cool if once a week, there could be a recorded Skype conversation with the captains and crews of one of the rumble clans. One clan a week, and the interviewer would ask the same basic series of questions to each clan, so we can get a better feel for who they are and what they do.
It would just be a neat way to learn more about who is actually competing and get people more invested from a spectator's standpoint.
