Heeeeellooooo, Cleveland!...er, I mean Liberty 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 58 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, Aug. 18th 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 Liberty 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 sign-up 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.
I will probably be doing Synapse since my Tank is only lvl 15 on Justice.

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 let me know via tell.

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 Liberty Tanks on the KR wall on Tuesday for a smashing good time, Tanker style. Be there, or be squishy!

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the hospitality, Liberty. We fielded a 8 tank level 30+ Manticore team(finished with 6 seconds to spare on the 2 hr timer), and a 20- team that did some AE, and Faultline missions I believe.


If anyone missed this event, and would like to attend future Tanker Tuesdays please join the TankHQ channel (/chanjoin TankHQ) where we will post TT dates, and servers in the MOTD.

We currently have TT:champion on the 1st Tuesday every month, next is Sept 1st. (October will be the 60th TT aka 5 year anniversary)

The TTTour is on the 3rd Tuesdays. Next stop is Pinnacle on Sept 15th

We also have been doing TTTour:Reloaded's on the 2nd, and 4th Tuesdays. September even has a 5th! (Freedom server is next week, Aug 25th)

These are where we try to accommodate requests by people who may have missed, or just want another TT on their server that the tour has already passed by.

Be warned, you will be expected to tell everyone you see about TT so we can have a good turnout, and at least lead one of the teams. You can be the MC/team organizer if you wish.

We always gather on the wall near the IP gate in Kings Row at 9 pm est.

Hopefully I16, and super-sidekicking will come fast to make forming workable teams easier for the organizers. I think I'm finally getting the hang of SK-Tetris, though...

Actually I believe we ended up a pre-20s team (I think at least one dinged 20...) and it was great fun plowing through the Jim Temblor arc. Thanks all for a great team!

I just wanted to add that the 2nd Tuesday Reload in September has already been set. Justice will host another TTT on September 8th, same Tank time, same Tank place.

As you mentioned we'll Reload to Freedom next week (Tuesday, August 25, at IP Gate, 6pm PT (9pm ET)! So get your Tanks ready and join the fun!!
