Does anyone remember The Casio Keyboard and Oddjob builds?

[123456789blaaa]

Both of these builds were made by JanusJones on the old WOTC boards. I can't find them by way of the WayBack Machine though. All I know was that The Casio was a warforged and that Oddjob was an evil factotum. Does anyone remember anything else about them?

I think Casio was a Warforged Bard/Warblade with Song of the White Raven (ToB), Song of the Heart (ECS), Dragonfire Inspiration (DM), Words of Creation (BoED), and Shocking Fist (PGtE).

Interesting. He had also posted another thread (that I found by way of the Wayback Machine) where he brought up the idea of combining the Lightning Throw maneuver with the Shocking Fist feat. In it he also discussed Bardblades as well. If you are remembering correctly than Casio could very well be an offshoot of the "megaman" build trick.

There's a little more discussion about it here, but not much.

I wish WotC hadn't deleted so much old stuff.

EDIT:
A Bard-Crusader/Warblade by Janus Jones (not Gato, but the focus on energy damage may well mean it was part of the idea's basis)

EDIT2: Fuck it, sent an email.

To Janus? You have his email address?

To Janus? You have his email address?

Well, as hard as I looked (after giving up on finding the build directly), I could not get contact information for Janus - he never put any on his profiles. However, during my search I came across a post in the "CO Call Out" thread in which Janus stated something to the effect of "Tshern and I only know eachother through the internet, but Nine Inch Nall and I know eachother IRL."
Nine Inch Nall has an email address linked to his profile on the old boards, so I've emailed him (while apologizing profusely) and hopefully he's able to get into contact with Janus.

This Casio Keyboard Bard thing is bugging me. I want to know what it is, and the more I hear about it the more interested I become. Hopefully I'm not overstepping myself.

Mega Man build?

The Lightning Throw+Shocking Fist trick I described.

It's been a week and I haven't received any response. Either he's ignoring me, or the email address is no longer in use. Sorry

Awww  . That's unfortunate. And no need to apologize, I'm thankful you bothered to do so at all.

It's kind of depressing to see how many great optimizers from before seem to be gone and uncontactable now  .

UPDATE: Janus and NineInchNall have replied in this thread I made over on the WOTC boards 

[Demelain]

Good to see you got a hold of him

[dna1]

So did you actually get the builds? Or just find out what they were?

Cause to be honest I want to see the oddjob build haha... I always loved playing him in the 007 game on N64. He was so short he was super hard to shoot. Eventually my friends and I banned him as a playable character lol...

thats really cool!

@dn1- we banned him, it was too OP. i loved Jaws with the shotgun, since you're aiming at the head anyway

Just found out what they were. It wouldn't be hard at all to build them though.

Hey it's a JJ sighting ... but C'mon you can't
really be suggesting that C.O. is not Real Life ?!


All those gleemax links should work in the wayback.

But if wayback didn't get them before they got
archived or wotc_archived or [archived] or wtf,
you'd have to know that goofier address. 

Boo bad wotc bad, even 7 years later bad ... 

[JanusJones]

Hey y'all!

Which builds you wanna see most?  The baby's waking up, so I only have a bit of time.

It's great to be back!   

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Lemme guess ... you had a "hard" time choosing
between having a baby and playing 4th Edition.

Ah life is full of little compromises.

[JanusJones]

"4th"?  "4th" what? What is "4th"?

I'm not sure I follow ... 

What up, DM!

[zook1shoe]

are Megaman and/or Oddjob yours? if so, yeah
