You can find the guide here, but keep in mind that at the time of writing, it is still very much a work in progress. It covers only the essential odd jobs (noting the existence of some others in passing), and only attempts to describe how each odd job basically works, in plain language. The thing that IвЂ™m working on the most actively at the moment is the вЂњIntroduction To Odd JobsвЂќ, which is intended to be a gentler & briefer introduction to odd jobs than the one offered by the list of odd jobs on the Oddjobs website. You can find a to-do list - and some other materials - relating to the Odd Job Initiative here. IвЂ™ve had a lot of help from Red ( Permanovice, Battlesage, Dreamscapes, Hanger), who helped me put a lot of the ideas together, gave feedback & advice on my writing, is doing some of his own recruiting/advertising, and even helped me when I was too scared to do it! :P Ultimately, at some point I will feel that it вЂњsucceededвЂќ, or вЂњfailedвЂќ, or perhaps more likely, that it did something in between. There are no concrete criteria for what it would mean for the Odd Job Initiative to вЂњsucceedвЂќ or to вЂњfailвЂќ. I genuinely believe that MapleLegends has the best chance of being a popular middle ground for oddball Maplers from all corners of the Mapleverse, and the Odd Job Initiative seeks to unify rather than divide. Although the Odd Job Initiative is focused on my own guild/alliance, my motivation is not selfish. The Odd Job Initiative is my genuine attempt to put the oddball MapleStory community in as concentrated of a space as possible, so that it may live - and ideally, thrive.

If you have any questions, please donвЂ™t hesitate to DM me on Discord at Also, Oddjobs has a dedicated website that you can find at - the вЂњJoin On UpвЂќ section has some info relevant to joining the guild, including rules, and some ways to contact me in-game. That being said, I really do hope to somehow reconnect the oddball MapleStory community with each other again, and I hope that yвЂ™all would consider taking a chance on MapleLegends, because I truly think it would be awesome to see oddball Maplers thrive once again!! It may be presumptuous to expect the latter folks to just uproot themselves and move to another server. Some of you probably already play (or have played) MapleLegends, and others may already be invested in other servers. That being said, it has a solid and friendly playerbase, and has lots of content, while still staying quite true to the O.G. I hope that some people out there are willing to try MapleLegends on for size - itвЂ™s actually quite hospitable to all manner of odd jobs (and generally oddball playstyles), and itвЂ™s quite fun!! Of course, no MapleStory server is perfect - MapleLegends, as a server, has its own share of problems, including the usual issues with HP washing and leeching. Oddjobs has since expanded to include a number of MapleLegends players, and has founded an alliance called Suboptimal specifically for oddball MapleStory, including guilds like Flow (the main off-island permabeginner guild of MapleLegends), Victoria (a guild for Victoria-Island-locked characters), and Southperry (the main islander guild of MapleLegends)! The oddball MapleStory community suffers from its sparsity, and Suboptimal is no exception - because I (and some others in Suboptimal) are so deeply invested in oddball MapleStory, we genuinely want to revitalise said community. In MapleLegends, I helped to found a guild by the name of Oddjobs. IвЂ™m reaching out to as many MapleStory odd-jobbed & oddball communities as I possibly can, in the hopes of finding anyone interested in working with me to revitalise & rejuvenate the oddball MapleStory community, and create a unified place for folks to play MapleStory in unorthodox ways! To help explain what the Odd Job Initiative is, IвЂ™ve adapted a message that I had already composed for another purpose: I call it the вЂњOdd Job InitiativeвЂќ, because I didnвЂ™t bother coming up with a better name.

Well, this diary entry itself has been a bit delayed, as a result of another project that IвЂ™m working on. This diary entryвЂ™s regularly scheduled odd job taxonomy nerdfest has been displaced! Oh no!! There must be something equally unreadable to replace itвЂ¦
