Pugs r cool. I've played one or two of them before.
Basically it's the next step up for people who are tired of public servers, but who don't want to join a clan or play regularly. It's like a scrim because tournamentmode is on, but you aren't playing by league rules, and nobody is really playing for a clan.
Pug stands for Pick-Up Game, since you're just "picking up" random people you know to play a 6 V 6 game. The Steam Friends list helps a bit for organizing pugs. So do those IRC channels. But I can't seem to log onto those. :[ I'm so tech-stupid.
there are not stupid noob questions, the only stupid questions are those that aren't asked, etc. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

a PUG, is an arranged match, with peoples who don't know each other, but plays it like a clan match.

and #ns.search for looking for clan matches
#nsp-finder will be up soon which is based around bot relay to spread the request over far more channels and a wider group of people
will be creating a branch of gamesnet aswell when it's up and running

One is usually 6v6, and the other is usually 10v10.
