Tanker Tuesday Tour '09

Heeeeellooooo, Cleveland!...er, I mean Triumph 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 61 straight months(5 year anniversary was October).

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, 2nd Tuesday is on Justice) 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, Nov. 17th 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 Triumph 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.

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

Thanks for listening.

I'm hoping to make it. I mean, a whole night of tanking and on my home server? I'd be angry with myself if I didn't at least try to make that.

I WON'T BE HOME!

I believe the appropriate quote here would be, "Oh! Snap!"

I have a tank that I never play. If I'm around, I'll stop by.

Make sure to announce it on Triumph Watch 2.0 or 2.1

Some tankers from Fusion Force will be there!

Sounds like a lot of fun, but I can't make it. I will be LARPing that weekend.

Thanks to all those that came out tonight.

We had 2 full teams of Tanks that proceeded to lay the smack down on many a AV.

I had a good time, and gained 10 levels on my lowbie tank. I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did.

Next month we'll be traveling to Victory server on the 3rd Tuesday, and as always TT:champion is the 1st tuesday, and TT: Justice the 2nd. All tanks are welcome, including lowbies(a great way to gain some levels fast on a new server).

Pep out.

Before we split off to go run missions, we posed for a picture on the wall next to the Independence Port gate.

(And through the magic of demo editing, T-54 and Alfred Lanning are in the picture even though they weren't there at the time.)

Initially, the unedited demo looked something more like this:



And now that I look at the original file, I realize that Firey Red was jumping, not flying. I should go back and fix that in the edited image.

As always the Tanker Tuesday Tour was great fun! We got to meet some new folks and send some AVs packing. Thanks for the great fun and turn out Triumph!

Bah, could have used more prior notice on this. Just saw this thread today and would have liked to join with my main Esp since I was not on the forums at all yesterday, save for the late evening.

I knew there was something I wanted to do on Tuesday when I logged in.

Sure today is the first day of the rest of your life. But so was yesterday. And look how that turned out.

Had a great time!!! Where to next? Thanks LARGE to all!!!

The next TT Tour will be on Victory I believe, 3rd week of December. If you need a Tanker Tuesday fix before then...

1. Tanker Tuesday Champion, the first Tuesday of every month (this is the Classic TT)

2. Tanker Tuesday Justice (TTJ), the 2nd Tuesday of every month

3. We can run a reload to Triumph next week on the 24th! If you're interested in a reload, post to this thread and I'll set one up.

Triumph is fine w/ me ... pretty much wherever is cool, tho

I won't be able to make next week. Hope it goes well if you guys do it again, though.

Anyone else interested in a reload to Triumph?

Triumph is fine w/ me, i got tanks all over tho
