• SpacemanSpliff has been smoking more pot of late, and consequently neglected to update the webpage for some time, please excuse his tardiness.
• The Joint Task Force is offering prizes for high exp contributors.
  • Non-officers only: a complete crackler set , with very nice stats. There is a consolation prize for the runner-up as well: a crackler set without a helmet.
  • Everybody except Smokey (he's offering the prize on this one): Anybody who pulls in more guild exp than he does, even if its just for a second: a Kam Assutra amulet (+1 AP, no negatives).
• Three cheers for Sofa-King! Spaceman witnessed him defend our perceptor at 2,9 from two trash-talking jerks from Kentucky! Somehow he weathered the storm of their insults as well as their shameless tofu spamming. It was nice hearing their insults turn from "we're going to whoop your niger (sic.) ass" to "thats not fair you cheeting niger" and much fun watching their ghostly walk of shame back to a phoenix statue for revivification. Oh... and if I ever go to kentucky, I'm a dead man.
• We're looking for some guild lumberjacks to supply our new weaponcrafters with wood. So if anybody is interested in learning this profession, talk to Kelar about an apprenticeship.

• The JTF now has a place to call home! Our command center at 7,25 in Sufokia is accessible to all members of the Joint Task Force. If there is a combination lock on the door, the number is 04200000. Feel free to drop by, set up shop, or smoke a joint whenever you wish. Should you desire access to the officers' chest, please ask SpacemanSpliff.
  
  
• We are already planning for expansion! Right next door to our guildhouse is a charming loft complex selling for 2,000,000 kamas. While our current guildhouse serves our basic needs for the moment, we will need more space soon enough. If you would like to help with the funding of this purchase, please ask SpacemanSpliff about how you can contribute.

• We've begun laying perceptors regularly around the Dark Smith farming areas. They typically do not come under attack, but when they do, expect a mid-size party rather than a full contingent of 8 should you choose to defend. Take a look at the collectors page to see where they are, and feel free to make the trip to collect whatever they may have taxed (granted, they're at 1% for the moment, so don't expect too much).
• SpacemanSpliff, SmokeyMcBowlz, Kelar, and Azaelya successfully took out an Eternal Horizons (?, I'm not sure if that's right, I was pretty stoned...) perceptor defended by a level 70 Ecaflip. I strongly suspect they hit our (undefended?) perc in the same location and replaced it with their own. Keep an eye out for these hooligans!

• May the new year bring wealth and prosperity to the Joint Task Force!
• Kelar and SmokeyMcBowlz were wed on December 29, 2005 at 4:20 Dofus time. Despite the bride's somewhat tardy arrival, the wedding itself went smoothly. After the ceremony, however, the festivities were marred by a vicious attack on our perceptor at 4,-20. Unfortunately, our team was caught somewhat unprepared (stoned... it was 4:25 after all) and was quickly overcome. A little emote gathering jaunt around Amakna quickly lifted our spirits, and flashing them around Astrub soon restored our injured pride.
  

• SmokeyMcBowlz and kelar are engaged! The wedding date is Thursday, December 29 at 4:20 dofus time. There will be a reception at 4,-20, then we'll be heading down to the chapel for the ceremony, banquet, and fireworks. All available JTF members, please attend! Bring those extra Gobball amulets to tie on to the back of their limo.
• Several of the JTF made a successful run on the Gobball dungeon last night, with MerDwarf picking up a nice slab of Royal leather in the end. Perhaps we could have a nightly run to the dungeon, at least until we complete our Royal Set (currently 0/6 pieces).
• Also, there are Royal Gobball spawns (approx. once every 24 hours) at: (-3,-1) (2,9) (4,11) (1,11). If you're in the area, take a peek and send a /g message to let the JTF know if you spot one. As far as I know, the best drops from the Royal have a prospecting limit between 400-500, so try and get at least 4 people (preferably JTF members) in the group. If anybody has any spots to add to the list, please email them to me.

• Flutters has volunteered (well, actually, HackBenjamin did the volunteering in absentia) his help with setting up a forum page, so this website can actually become useful.
• Apparently some poor souls have chosen vacation destinations other than moon island or the gobball dungeon for the holidays, so our ranks may be thin for a few days.
• We're now an eighth level guild. Anybody who has the right to invite new members should exercise it.
• Just for the record, our trip to wabbit island didn't turn out so well. It's a long journey, and if you screw up once, its all the way back to the beginning.

• Running a little forum. As you can see, my command of html is somewhat limited at best. Perhaps a more experienced individual would offer to create / tell me how to create a simple forum where messaged can be posted?
• Artworks! Send in dem funny pictures of your Dofus dude running around causing ruckus. I came up with this logo in like five minutes and I know, it shows. Somebody got a better idea? Please lemme hear it!
• Webhosting perhaps? Even a recommendation of a nice free place to park this page? I guess I can shell out a few bucks if I must, but I'd rather not have to go that route. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
• General freaking maintenance!? Anybody want to take up the reins and make a killer site? To be dreadfully honest, I'd rather be playing Dofus. In fact... the only reason I'm doing this is because SpacemanSpliff is stuck halfway through wabbit island, waiting for Kelar, Smokey, and Azaelya to get online and get me outta dere!
• Individual pages! It could be a nice place to record information, post pictures and such. Send me the material, or when somebody tells me how the heck to do it, we may be able to set it up so each person has control over their own page.
• Ha! So this page is hosted on fortunecities. Pardon the annoying little green sponsored links. Um, I mean click on them. HAHA. Yeah and the banners, and the pop-ups when you go for an outside link. Sorry about all that crap, but I get what I pay for.

EVENTS

• Wabbit castle anyone? Look below for information on how to prepare. Information on time to follow.

• SpacemanSpliff is preparing to purchase the Middle Sized Astrub House at 4,-20 for the Joint Task Force to use as base of operations / venue for our kickin' house parties. Any contributions can be made directly to SpacemanSpliff or to an officer of the JTF (still short about 1mk). With the purchase of our guildhouse, expect the guild structure to become somewhat more formalized; access to guild chests will be a privledge reserved for higher ranking members of the guild. Look for updates on the members page once the house is ours.
• If you'd prefer not too make a direct monetary contribution, consider buying some of the officers' considerable stock of items, resources and equipment at discounted prices.

• So here's the inside skinny on Wabbit island:
  • To get to the island, buy or collect one blue jelly, one mint jelly, and one strawberry jelly (the unprocessed stuff, not the candy). Talk to Otamai at -2,-3 about the potion for Wabbit island. She will give you a potion (quest item) that allows you to move about on Wabbit Island.
  • Next: There are 3 keys needed to enter Wabbit castle, they are scattered about the first section of the island, if you'd like to find them, here is an illustrated guide.
    
    
  • With keys in hand, you may now journey to Wabbit Castle. I warn you, the path is long and challenging, plan to spend at least an hour just getting to the castle, expect to face large packs of skeletal wabbits, as well as pairs of wabbit grandpas near the end. These nasty fellas have upwards of 700hp and attack from range, so bring some powerful friends.
  • So if you actually make it to the castle proper, prepare to fight a series of battles against wabbits (much like the Gobball dungeon), with the vicious level 200 CWaWabbit as a grand finale. Full party with Eni support (everybody should be at least 40 I think) is a must.
  • As a reward, you will receive your choice of: the Wabbit cloak, the Wabbit hat, or the Wabbit staff.
  • If you manage to collect all three items, you will be able to enter the Wabbit dungeon hidden on the island. If you manage to beat the dungeon, you will receive as your reward the coveted Cawwot dofus, a +1-50 wisdom equippable item, that does not take up any inventory slot.
  • Spaceman has NOT managed to beat Wabbit Castle and is somewhat pissed off about it, to be honest. For the time being, I don't think the JTF can field a strong enough party to make it through intact, but we're not far off.
• Fundraising for the house begins on Friday, January 6! All suggestions welcome! Current ideas are: farming leek pie, release and vegasets from field monsters; raising an army of Moon island monkeys; hunting for sword skill in the labyrinth or the bwork village; hunting kwaks and selling kwak sets. Got some more ideas? Let me know!

• The Dofus team is hosting a holiday event on December 28. Look here for more information. Gathering place is [1,0] at 22:00 dofus time.

• There's apparently a new Boowolf set out there ripe for the taking, so I was thinking about heading up near the Bonta zaap, where there are a couple boowolfs who roam those fields. If anybody's interested you're welcome to attend. Don't expect a whole lot of exp from the fights, since they're somewhat long (750 or so HP i believe, so have a joint or two ready), but you're welcome to keep or sell whatever pieces of the set should drop your way. Spaceman does, however, need some testicles... So if the boowolf should drop any, I'd ask that they be donated to the cause.
• Of course, any time we get 10 guildmates/friends online and organized, we can go get all those neat secret emotes. I've got all the information on hand, just haven't gotten around to getting that many people organized. Hopefully this website will help.
• Well I'm just sorta throwing stuff out there, mostly to see how it looks on a page, but hey, look to the crafting page for some more ideas on guild efforts underway.
