Depends which one. I have 430 and 730 hockey games on sunday, so unless you are supremely confident in a 4hr Dr. Q (which is the Shardtober one this weekend) I wouldnt be able to do it.

So the 5 year thing is this Tuesday? Seems like you have like three people supporting it on it's home server, lol. What's up with that? If I remember right the three year thing was off the hook, wasn't an event like it before and none since.
Maybe it should be held on a decent server like Virtue or Freedom from here out so it can get some love.

Pep Rally takes TT to the other server, of which, I believe Justice has their own TT every month now. Why don't you work on a TT on Virtue or Freedom if you want one there, Tank?

Its not just 3 people supporting it. There are quite a few doing little things for it. While the 3year was really spectactular and all... very little actual tanking happened during it. It was fun planning it, and seeing some red names; but in retrospect I was some what disappointed by the over all event despite a costume contest spawning 2 zones.

Last years was dialed back way too far, so when I started planning this one, I decided to keep it low key and focused on tanking; like a regular TT but with some flair to make it special.

Its sad that people judge the event before it even happens, but such is. We don't go around trolling other server forums, please don't troll ours.

I guess I should kick this one in: You get whomever it is to drop my main's name on Virtue and I'll gladly give you a hand starting your own TT there, Tank.

A "decent" server like Virtue or Freedom doesn't have the sack to support our sheer damn Tankiness. There's a reason this has been going on 5 years on Champion.

There's a buncha' people supporting the TT 60 event.

As for other names you might see:

Pep's been Captaining the TTs and running the tour.

I've been doing "reloads" of the tour and just started TTJ (Tanker Tuesdays on Justice, second Tuesday of each month same Tank time, same Tank place).

We've been to Freedom several times, once on the initial leg of the tour, and at lease once more since then. IIRC the server with the best continuous "reload" turn out (also my "home" server ) was Justice, which is why we've started TTJ.

The tour hasn't been to Virtue yet, but is on the way.

oh, just wanted to add: I'm up for a TT anywhere. Let me know if you need Tanks to start one on Virtue.




Tanker Tuesdays: Meet in King's Row by IP Gate 6pm PT9pm ET.
1st Tuesday on Champion, 2nd Tuesday on Justice
3rd Tuesdays (Odd months) Freedom, (Even months) Virtue, 4th Tuesday, Tour, Server TBA
Brutal Thrashing Thursdays: Justice (ask Papa Slade when),meet in RWZ 6pm PT9pm ET.

There will be some "bonus" prizes handed out tonight.

Little trinkets like Numina +Rec/+Reg IOs, maybe an extra Miracle.

I recommend tuning into TankHQ as Ill be broadcasting stuff in there for the bonus prizes.

Also, Im hoping some of the vets will take up the mantle and help lead some of the All-tanker TF teams.

Me too. Got a lvl 50 on Virtue that would be more than willing to join in Tank smash.

In the meantime, I'll be bringing my measly lvl 11 to the RWZ tonight. It's my only tank on Champion, or I'd be bringing a higher-level one. See you all tonight!


Champion: Feride Edain, Level 50 Vigilante Blaster; Quicksilver Cure, Level 33 Controller; Silent Gemini, Level 44 Tanker; Aisa Moirai, Level 19 Villain Dominator
Virtue: Aurora's Blaze, Level 50 Peacebringer; Atrytone, Level 50 Tanker

Um, no you don't. Except for a few exceptions, many zones had their level restrictions lifted.

Exactly. Now you just have to get to level 1 to enter the Rikti War Zone. Surviving it without a team is a completely different matter for the average player.

Looking forward to Tanker Tuesday in a couple hours.

Southern Frost thanks you again! She grew up on TTs, and it's always cool to see the cavalcade of Tankers gather.

She even got to hand out a random present to an unsuspecting tank!
(Yes, she had one leftover from last winter.)
