From what was said last night, I believe TT comes to Victory next week Sir Zane. If I am incorrect I am sure someone more in the know will correct me. As usual, it was a fun run last night, although two straight weeks of Malta on a PI safeguard with a sub-level 12 Tank is a little masochistic, even for me. I really need to get at least a temp travel power before I bring a baby tank to one of these.

For anyone that has not tried a Tanker Tuesday, I am only about a month into doing these regularly and it is one of the most enjoyable things I have come across in my almost 4 years playing. Kudos to the dedicated folks that run these events.

Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!

Shhh! Rangle is plotting.

Argh I am so mad I missed this last night! Fully enjoyed my first TT on Champion (my home server) the week before on my main, so I made a Tanker on Justice so I can participate on these. Just downright forgot about it yesterday!

So I guess it's time to make another on Victory to join in on the fun! Now I just have to make a Calendar appt. to remind me...

This is it folks!

This month's Virtue TTTour marks the culmination of all our efforts to bring the Tanker Tuesday lifestyle to all servers.

As of next Tuesday, Jan. 19th at 9 PM EST, EVERY King's Row wall near the IP gate on a NA server will have had at least one TT!!!

2009 was a momentous year for TT which included it's 5 year anniversary, a record five TT's in one month, and the TTTour which reached every server kickstarting the Justice Tanks to start their own monthly TT on 2nd Tuesdays, and TT:Reloads on the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th Tuesdays!

Thanks to all the great Tanks that helped make TT such great success in 2009! Hopefully, 2010 will be just as fun.

Stay tuned for updates on future TTProductions in the MOTD on the TankHQ channel(/chanjoin TankHQ).

I'm hoping to get a 45+ level TF going on virtue since I actually have a 45+ tank there. (possibly STF)

Be there, or be squishy!

I had a great time. Big thanks to my teammates for letting my wee Tanklet along on their high level fun. We took on the Psychic Clockwork King, beelined for a battle with the Kraken and ended with back-to-back psionic battles with first Mother Mayhem and then Malaise.

Thanks for running this on all servers and thanks to the kindly folks traveling from other servers! Now I'm considering building a Tanker to join in the monthly run on Champion.

Exactly my thoughts, but I've made on on Champion, but I'm not happy with the concept of her.

My group consisted of Heraclea, who had a toon with a name that began with a C, and three others. I didn't know it was her until the end when I was trying to figure out who was who when we were talking on the tankhq channel.

We did the midnighters arc and it was probably the most fun I've had with it.

I would move my favorite tank, Coconut Infinity, to Justice or Champion, but I'm rather attached to Freedom and will move her back there before the end of the month. Besdies, it's fun to make new toons. I do so almost daily.

I just need to not make them always wp/. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I keep doing the same thing.

But yeah, tanker tuesdays rock.

Thanks for coming along, MDanger. It was lots of fun.

I was playing Sister-Sledge for that run and I have to admit that was the best Lady Jane rescue I have done in a while...even though the old girl didnt survive...the ambushes were a blast.

I also got to sneak in on the Malaise fight as well. I was a bit useless in that. Was basically sleep....confuse (hit LSK & Warboss)....sleep....confuse (repeat)....sleep...yay Malaise is down and I am still sleeping.

I am debating where to move this toon...I consolidated some stuff to Champion already so I am leaning towards Justice. If I leave it on Virtue it won't see the light of day till the tour returns.

Can't wait for next run on Champion. My little stoner is getting quite fun to play and I wouldn't mind trying out a Synapse now that he has stamina.

That was kind of a crazy Lady Jane rescue. Got to dust off my WP/Stone tanker that I haven't played for a while, just to remember how much fun she is to play at low levels. And always happy to help create another batch of future Centurions.

Off topic, but I locked a fire/ice blaster at level 25 for a few weeks since she's absolutely a blast at that level. I'll lock her down again at 33. I'd rather enjoy the journey than let it rush by.

Oh, man. That Malaise mission had me laughing and crying. My poor little tanklet with the not-yet-overlapping status protection.

Fight, fight, sleep, immob, confuse, lather rinse repeat. Even when I stepped back to take care of stragglers that sucker sleeped me! I was sleeping so far away from the action!

I was but a minor DoT fighting next to all of you. I can't believe how long it was taking to fight a minion. But I regret nothing! (Though I wished to show off my Roman inspired tank to Heraclea - whom I secretly worship from afar.)

Thanks for the great hospitality, Virtue. I'm glad you all had a good time. I know I did.

That was the first time I got to take my Stoner, Asteroid Man, up against so much Psi damage. I'm so glad I took Minerals .

Thanks again to all the Tanks that helped out on the Tour, and came out for the event. Keep on Tankin' y'all.

I was part of that group on my Ele/Ele trank, and part of the maliase insedent where the only bad things happend to me was getting confused and running out of end. That is the only thing I didnt like about my tank atm, after all it is still a lowbe tank. But I still had fun.

I was part of the team that took on the Clockwork King and Kraken before I had to run off to work. I was the Ice/Mace tank "Deep Gouge". Loads of fun. Glad everyone had fun as well.

The Malaise mission taught me that it's really hard to tank a PBAOE-based Psi AV when you've got a team full of meleers. (I was Lapin Lazuli, the WP/SS that was main Tanking most of the team, except when I decided to take a couple mobs solo. Sorry about that! )
