I've always been curious as to what the point of Tanker Tuesday is?
I've always found a number of reasons behind Tanker Tuesdays.
A. It's fun to run around not worrying so much about keeping others on your team alive. (What, no squishies? 
)
B. It's a nice way to show off your tank to other tank enthusiasts.
C. It's a great way to see how well other builds/combination's perform and to get ideas for new tanks.
D. It's a great spot to ask questions about tanks and tank builds, especially for those that don't come to the forums or prefer not to ask on the forums.
E. It's been great for showing that yes, tanks can do enough DPS to deal with most, if not all the content in the game.
F. It's a fun social event if nothing else.
I'm sure there are a few things I'm missing.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!
Tanks: Gauntlet, the streak breaker and you!

To bludgeon wimpy blaster wannabes into bloody shards of quivering flesh and throw back a few brews to raucous laughter and a stogie afterward.
We might be 72 but we can still kick any other events azz.
Fun times to be had see yaz Tuezz.

Kahn TF?
Is the Cathedral of Pain trial working? I've been away for awhile.
I think we've only done 1 shard TF. Some of those are hard to fit into a Tuesday evening.
Is it true they are having TT's on the EU servers now? That's awesome!
Anyways. I hope to see you all Tuesday.
I debated using "most" vs "all", but since I have no knowledge of a successful all tank Hami, Kahn, or CoP it's hard to say all.
I'm not saying they haven't happened, just that I'm not aware of them happening.

I wasn't calling you out, or anything. I'm just trying to get ideas for future All-Tanker challenges.
No biggy. I didn't think you'd called me out at all.
I figured a goofy explanation would help.

Actually an all Tank Hami is what I have my sights set on. I know there was talk of one happening on Champion, not sure where that's at atm, but it's something I'd like to try eventually on Justice.
Btw, Welcome back Pep. 
And, yes, TT has made it to the Euro servers.
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.
Thats right. Six years in a row. Woah.
So I thought, wouldn't it be great to get six teams together to run the original six TFs.
Some are longer that others but still.
That means we will need, 3+4+5+6+7+4 => 29 tankers, of which 6 leaders.
(Only have to do one of the Posi parts)
I've been marshalling the last of my prize reserves as this will be the last Tanker Tuesday I will be leading up. So why not go all out. I mean I gave away around 1.5B at the 5 year, lets see if I cant double that.
So who's with me?
