Tanker Tuesday Tour '09

Hello, Infinity server.

Most(if not all) of you probably don't know me, but you may have heard about Tanker Tuesdays being held on Champion. You may have been to the 3 year anniversary which gathered 500+ Tanks on Champion with some Dev appearances, and numerous contests for prizes, or seen that it won the 2006 Favorite Player-run Event award. Or not. It doesn't matter.

I'm just one of the Tanks that have attended, and helped run it when needed every first Tuesday for 56 straight months.

Well, to make a long story short, we thought it would be fun to hold some Tanker Tuesdays on the other servers. One a month, on the 3rd Tuesday (regular TT is 1st Tuesday on Champion) going in alphabetical order.



**********Important part**********



So, all you Tank lovers please meet up on the wall near the Independence Port Gate in Kings Row Tuesday, June 16th at 9 pm est where we will split into teams to have some all-tanker fun.




********** end important part**********



All levels, and powersets are welcome, as long as you are a Tank.

The only requirement is that you have fun, and take the initiative to attain it. Any Infinity Tanks who want to step up, and co-host/lead a team, please do. Just show up, and let us know. The more the merrier. No signup is necessary.

If you want to run a TF, let us know so we can see if others would like to join you, and we'll try to put a team together. We've completed pretty much every TF in the game with an all-Tank team, including STF, and ITF (results may vary ).

We usually try to form the TFs before normal mission teams.

To assist in forming teams, we ask that you hold up the numbers:

1 for levels 1-10
2 for levels 11-20
3 for levels 21-30
4 for levels 31-40
5 for levels 41-50

with the Judge emote (i.e. /em score 10) while standing on the wall. Once picked for a team, please join your team off the wall. It also helps if Tanks with like numbers stand close to each other on the wall.

I might even try to run a Tanking 101 team. For this, please hold up a 10 while on the wall.

I also ask that you join the TankHQ channel(/chanjoin TankHQ) for the event, or longer if you want, especially if you are late. Please let us know through the channel, and we'll do our best to put you on an appropriate team.

If you'd like to learn a little about the history of Tanker Tuesday, while having a heck of a lot o' fun, please run MA arc "Tanker Tuesday: Night of 1,000 Tanks" by AceMACE. Arc#1755

Thanks for listening, and I hope to see all you Infinity Tanks on the KR wall on Tuesday for a smashing good time, Tanker style.

That's what we call the alternate dimension we are from. Don't worry, we come in peace.

Sweet news Pep! I have been hoping for this day for awhile since I play mostly on Infinity. I have done TT on Champion once or twice with a couple of lowbie toons I made that night, but never got into it because I don't have any people I play with on that server.

I will def. try to make it to this, as long as I can get my stupid cable modem fixed by then!


Coming back out of the woodwork after a couple years away from the game...

3 incongruous facts:

1) I don't like playing my tank
2) I don't particularly like teaming with tanks
3) I'm very much looking forwarding to this event so I can play my tank and team with other tanks

Go figger...

There is only one Pep on Infinity and she passes out Peppermints!

Having said that, I'll have to see if I can make it. It will bring back memories of the Mayhemette practices back in the day. The scary things that 7 Invul/EM Cheerleaders and thier Mind/Kin Coach could do before the global defense changes, Enhancement Diversity and target limits...

Nobody. By the time you're in any trouble the other tankers will have mopped the floor with those damn Tsoo and moved on to the next door mish.

I Survived Tanker Tuesday And All I Got Was 9 Recipes, 3 Clockwork-related Badges, A Task Force Badge, 120k of Influence, 3 Levels Dinged, and a Rusty Bucket.



Photos of the all-tanker Synapse TF will be on another thread.

My ice tank went to Infinity, and all I got was 2.9 levels, a rare salvage, and a couple of thousand influence.

Oh, and a severe beat down by +3 Vahzilok. Note to self, avoid Unyielding difficulty Vahz missions at level 9.

Thanks for having us, Infinity, hope you enjoyed it, I know I did!

*edited to add*
Oh, and I got a raptor pack!

I enjoyed setting a lowbie up and teaming with you guys last night. I've been part of Tanker Tuesdays on Champion before, but it's been a while, and I have deleted the tank I had there. May have to consider building one up there again.

I'll be looking forward to when you do come to Liberty. I'll be able to choose from a couple of higher level tanks then, including my original version of Bruister (lvl50 inv/em).
