The zone event on it's own hosted by the devs will be going on for three hours (starting @8edt) so you should be fine, & we'll try to take the big group picture close to 9edt when the most people are likely to be on.
I don't have anyone on Champion normally, but thanks to what theologians reverently refer to as "The Miracle of the Free Server Transfer" I will be there!

I think I've got a few lowbie Tankers from past Tanker Tuesdays over there, but for this, if I can make it, I'll be using a server transfer and playing as my namesake.

Current active characters: Dragon Maiden (50+3 Brute SS/WP/PM), Black Widow Maiden (50+1 Night Widow), Catayclasmic Ariel (50 lvl Defender - Kin/DP), Quantumshock (50 lvl Elect/Energy/Energy), American's Defender (38 lvl Tanker - SD/Mace), Spider-Maiden (15 lvl Corruptor - RB/PD) & Siren Shrike (15 lvl Defender - Sonic/Sonic). My entire stable.
Timing, is of course, everything.
If I do show up tonight it will probably be a short appearance as I'll be at work and my laptop is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

Yeah, I spent the whole week levelling up my Shield/Axe just for this event, and now I'll be starting from scratch... and loving it. I have such good things to say about the visual and audio goodness that this set is going to bring.|

Now, all that's left is to fake illness so I can leave work at lunch time, to start getting ready
Today is an important day in history:
- Today, after many years, City of heroes players get to play a "street fighting" plain punching power set.
- Today, Apple announces the iPhone 5 (or 4s, or whatever)
- And, can't forget, Tanker Tuesdays turn 7.

Or it night be remembered around these tanker parts as the period when Starsman started posting again. ;]|

So in case anything isn't clear to you about a contest or anything happening tonight, here are the folks who will be hosting various things:
- So @Myrmydon & @Ultraamann will take the reigns of the Costume Contest
- @Meowtch-@Pep Rally-@Dinah Might & possibly more will be looking for cool bios (might not hurt to um, bump into one of them if you're competing *wink*)
- @WittyLibrarian & @AceMACE assisting him will organize the Posi TF Race
- the group picture will fairly easily organize itself @Blue Steel
- And @AceMACE will be looking for lowbie tanks to hand out money & some loot to during the evening (L/F 7ft white bearded Santa Claus wielding blunt instrument).
And The Praetorian Invasion will be lasting for three hours which is longer then we even planned for the tt7yr event so there will be something for everyone to do even if you're not interested in joining a contest.
OK that was lots of fun here are a few photos of the event
Well. I was able to get on for the event and get a League started in King's Row 2. Thanks to everyone who joined up with my toon "Viridian Roo".
Sorry I couldn't hang out longer. I didn't take any pictures as my laptop was running at the lowest graphics settings. Any pictures I would have taken wouldn't have done justice to the beauty of so many tanks in the Zone.
Once again, happy 7 years of Tanker Tuesdays.

Tanker Tuesday's never fail to deliver, it was a blast to be there and an honor to pick up 2nd place in the bio contest. Rose Wonder may still be coming to a server near you!

LMAO, nothing like giving the seedlings a taste of tanker charge!! Unfortunately I didn't get that one on video due to my extreme laughing and asthma coughing.

Ah thank you everyone who helped out in both KR1 & KR2 there were a lot of tanks there, even the devs were sending tells about how impressed they were with the large crowds that showed for both instances.
Zwillinger, Avatea & TheNet were a big help in making it a fun event for everyone, we can't thank them enough, and I'll be thanking everyone else who helped run events and donate prize money tomorrow--my head is slightly burning from all the /tells. ;]
It seemed like TankHQ almost doubled in active members tonight, that should make regular TT's going forward even more fun!
I'll look through all the great screenies and post more tomorrow, thanks again everyone!
It was good to see SOOOO many tankers! Good to see the Devs came in to give us some interesting stuff to Nom on

You for got to mention Zwillinger kept announcing in his dev voice ( IE the red one) that this is a tanker event in KR 1.

You never replied to me, so i keept telling!!! :P JK.
"Serious" note: My computer is not in very high settings but got an amazing screenshot (I'll see if i find it once i get home)
Two Lusca tentacles in Kings row comming out of the ground, fighting in the construction site by the ramp, lots of tankers fighting the thing, me standing a bit far (some one had to take the picture) and two skulls talking close to the cammera. The one talking is emoting as if he was telling an interesting story, while the second skull is looking at the mayhem. I can just visualize the caption... "dude... behind you..."
And it's..
