More pics of the insanity:

In the background, you'll notice Zwill easily surrendering after watching the carnage we bestowed upon his minions.

The two skulls are in the background of this pic of me mining giant diamonds out of Lusca. Which sorta makes their calmness even more odd.



All in all, it was a super fun event! A lot of great laughs, and some awesome moments! And to top it off, I won a couple of enhancements from Pep and picked up 20+ Reward Merits to boot.

Big huge THANKS go to everyone who had a hand in putting this together.

It was EPIC!

The War Walkers were scrapped for parts.... I understand several of the Robotic-type Tanks were "drooling" over the fresh supplies.

Lowbie (lvl 5) Coronal Flare managed to stay on her feet.... mostly, with the support of her fellow tanks. Only Mother Mayhem managed to break up our solidarity (I think there were about 6 trips to the hosp for me at that point). But we were tenacious, and took (all of) her down in the end.

The Snowmen were turned into snowcones and slushies, and yeilded up their candy canes. (yay!).

Lusca... well, by that time, we were all pretty hungry anyway... so a sushi snack was a nice little treat.

And there were Hami Seedlings, and Maurader, and the Mystics... and all kinds of badgies and extra goodies sprinkled throughout.

Like I said... Epic, epic fun.

Also, I was truly surprised and honored to have Coronal Flare chosen as a winner for the biography contest. Thank you, again. /em bow

I failed to make it yet again

I had a tank rolled up and ready to go for it, too.

But, my wife bought The Lion King for our son, so I spent my evening watching it with him instead. I have never seen a 1 year old so enthralled by anything in my life. And no matter how awesome I'm sure the event was, I wouldn't trade the look on my little guy's face for anything.

No one in their right mind, would fault you for doing so in the first place. This game and Tanker Tuesday, will always be here (knock on wood); however, such an event as you shared with your son will not.


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.

Tanking kids is harder, and cooler, than anything in the game. And NO amount of IOs can make someone do it well if they suck at it.
Luckily, having backup tanks (like mom) can be invaluable.

Great Pictures so far. I'm hoping someone has more pictures from KR2 as any I'd have taken on my laptop would have been pretty ugly, to say the least.

I did fail to mention that I somehow won a prize for Viridian Roo's Biography. I'm still somewhat surprised that I did win, but I glad the biography was appreciated by others.

Yes there are some really nice ones, and I got a demo record of the Winter Lords fight I'll port to video when I have a few minutes of free time.
So here are a few screenies from my laptop, I'll post a couple more in the TT7 thread on champ where the contest winners are shown..

One thing you know, it would have only been even more fun if the zone limit were larger, like it was for TT3 & TT5 where hundreds of tanks were able to log into the same instance, but that's just a preference I don't think we could've celebrated 7 years of tanking teamage any better then we did last night.

So were you there.. just a quick search of tanks that weren't on hide



Melee ensues -sorry breaking the forums =]



Multi-Marauders arrive - many dead lowbies are hosping it at the tim of this picture ;]



Zwillinger agrees to come quietly - then throws confetti




Thank you again to everyone who contributed your time, your money and
loot -which equates to your time- and jumping in to see that the free
flowing fun that is a staple of tanker tuesdays regular or otherwise
continues, with players helping other players where needed an average
occurrence.. and one that Super Jumps on to the next TT this coming
Tuesday on Justice I believe.. If this was your first taste of the all tank
events feel free to join TankHQ and keep an eye on this area of the boards
for any pertinent schedules and updates.

Ah no there isn't, nothing to see there..

Hey one last thing out of this thread, if you were in KR #2 can you please pm me or post your full sized screenshot of the group picture, there are a couple posted on champion but the size is a little small for editing and I'd like to photoshop the KR1 & KR2 groups together.
I'm sure everyone in the picture took at least one screenie, so if you read this please ship it over to me or the boards, thanks.
Here are the ones posted.

I have some shots to add, from KR1 I think.

Zwillnger apparently surrendering to AceMace:



A tentacle party:



My Gutter Knight (pipe wrench in hand) runs to join the attack!



OK, so, it's BIG.



I got this! Just let me loosen a few bolts.



Although my machine barely allows me to attend large events, it was great to see the Tanker-loving portion of the player community turn out in force!

Hey one last thing out of this thread, if you were in KR #2 can you please pm me or post a full sized screenshot(s) of the group picture, Dinah & Rangle were nice enough to post a few as seen here:





But to merge the pictures they need to be at the highest resolution available, ideally like this from Hyperstrike:




I'm sure everyone in KR #2 took at least one screen shot of the group picture, so if you read this please post it on the boards or a link to it or PM it to me, thanks in advance.

Congrats on 7 years of Tanker Tuesdays! I usually cannot make it most of the time, but always have fun when I do attend.

My pics from KR2... (sorry they are not high res, I have graphics set to stupidly low for incarnate trials and usually forget to reset for regular play)

Thanks PM, here's a quick mesh of the two KR groups.. if we get any more high rez submissions I might tinker with another compilation, for posterity ;] the 3rd & 5th yr events only had low rez groups shots which is why I've asked for the better quality images. Thanks.
