Welcoming the newest member to the Jank community: Jankbot!

Jankbot is a steam bot written by twisterghost who is here to help with our organization and general jankness. If you are a Jank member, or a friend of a Jank member, you can add him to your friends list here:

http://steamproxy.com/id/jankbot

Once added, send him a message to use his commands. If you are lost, I recommend asking him for help. (Just send 'help').

NOTICE: Due to totally no fault of mine, Jankbot's knowledge of friends got deleted, so if he is already on your friends list, say hi to him so he remembers you. This should just be a one time thing.

'Twas the night before Janking
And all through the match
Not a single lane lost
Thanks to Drow Ranger's patch

People fighting and brawling
And obtaining them chests
Kill stealing and diving
While doing their bests

Till it came time to stop
And rest for the night
Sleep well now young nooblet
For tomorrow we fight!

See Janksgiving is time
To give thanks for our game
For beer and for pizza
It's not very tame...

"Janksgiving, whats that?"
Asked a young FlyMolo
Well Janksgivings a time
Where none shall play solo

See we party as 5
And plan for our romp
"The rune's top!" we will shout
As we do our pubstomp

We'll inhouse, not rage
Not one will be mean
'Sept that wont apply
If your name is Ken Keene

So on beefcake and Kevboh
and Kui and Bleach
A few games of DotA
Are in our arm's reach

Uranus may play
And so may PinkBunny
Perhaps we'll see noober
That Russian is funny

So goodnight to all
And remember to thank
Sweet IceFrog and Gaben
NOW GET IN THE JANK

As promised in the precious announcement, here is the Jank official team roster:

FuzzyPinkBunny (captain)
FlyMolo (das carryschlein)
twisterghost (I will Deny.)
College Hill (bitchard)
Chris (he's new.)

If you see us all online and not in mumble, don't fret, we're just practicing and focusing, so we may be slow to respond as well.

Furthermore, I set up a Jank IRC for us to idle in (as if we weren't already nerdy enough). The information can be found in the mumble welcome message, but here it is:
irc.freenode.net
##jank

You can use freenode's webchat[webchat.freenode.net] if you don't have an irc client[www.irssi.org].

That's all for now. Pass off your ring of heath if you don't need it.

WOAH there is a lot of new ♥♥♥♥ going on right about now for the Jank.

I want to quell some talk going on, because there has been some weird activity recently. Well, here is the official announcement:

We have formed a competitive Jank dota team. Well, semicompetitive for now.

The team roster is still waiting for full approval by the captain, but as it stands right now, the slots are filled. We will post the final roster when we get approval.

We formed the team based on player interaction with each other, not just skill, and we are hoping that we can practice, join some tournaments and Jank our way to victory.

We have indeed been using a temporary alternate mumble channel for practice sessions, and that may stay in use for the team to use uninterrupted during scrims, but the normal jank.mumble.com server remains the main mumble for the Jank group.

MOVING ON, we also now have a website. This doesn't mean the website is developed or anything, but www.jankdota.com is ours to do with what we please, so more info on that will be coming in the near future.

Finally, I would like to mention that with this new swaggy steam community system, I would like to make the Jank group more community-esque, so we will be trying to plan some more events, and make more of a presence for ourselves in places around the Dotaverse. Thats right, Dotaverse.

Thats all for now. Carry a TP.
