So we can roll with a lowbie? I copied my fire tank to Freedom already but still have a 30 tank on Champion and would love to join in the festivites.

A little more information while I'm at it, the normal praetorian invasion will be happening on champion tomorrow night same times as tt7 but Avatea & her crew will be spawning it extra heavy in KR @ blue steel where we'll be meeting, on top of that one of the most fan friendly davs since BaB & Castle is going to try his best to be there to spawn GMs - it's going to be fun to begin with but if he can get free to show it's going to be over the top, if it can be spawned he spawns it during closed betas.
So, it's mañana..
I have both my stone tank and my shield/kinetic tank on ready.

I may need one more judge on the off chance that we spawn a KR3. They must have a working knowledge of the Golden/Silver Age of comics, since that's one of the categories. Ultra and I are already going to cover this, but it's best to be prepared.
If we spawn multiple zones, each judge will take a zone and make their choices (if necessary). Then, we will form the contestants into a league and move to a neutral site to find the winners of each category.

Thank goodness for the league system, comes in super duper handy for so many things and awfully nifty for judging!

Oh, & btw, guess what just hit the market today (& quite a coincidence)..
Street Justice
.
The zone event will give a good start in leveling to anyone with a new toon..
Earthguard would like to donate an extra 500 million influence to this auspicious event, to be distributed as the coordinators see fit. Contact @photometric later on today.

Ah that's very generous of EG (something not uncommon to them), and since one or two from the group will be helping with the secret bio reading part of the costume contest it seems that's the best place for its use!

I am hearing that number might go up right before the event....bank on 500 million, and we'll see what today brings.
Thanks for working so hard on this project, it obviously took many hours of planning and coordination with the community and devs and does not go unnoticed. A class act as usual, Ace.

Bringing FI to this. Can't wait!
Champion-
Flaming Intern/Tanker(main)
The Ice Albatross/Blaster
Apollonius/Controller
Valtrix/Defender
All the tank sets in the Intern variety
Burning Intern/Brute(CoV Main)
And the list goes on...
I am trying to decide which pair of tights I will wear tonight.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

That's more then generous Ast from you and EG, and I should thank again in advance the contributions by Myrmydon/C.A.P.E., Death Badger, and from Paragon Studios/NCSoft Avatea who rearranged the Praetorian Invasion schedule -and will be on hand to make sure the spawns are heavy in KR- just to accommodate tonight's event, and any other PS's personalities who might be there will have made extra effort to free up their time because they're all very busy these days. |

- 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 & I'll be helping him organize the Posi TF Race
- the group picture will fairly easily organize itself @Blue Steel
- And I'll 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).
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.
Can't wait to see everyone there, Guarded has a brand new outfit for the event and is ready to check out some bios!
Thank you in advance to all who are participating, assisting with the event as well as those who have so kindly and graciously contributed to the celebration this evening!
We hope that all have a wonderful time and truly enjoy the happenings!

Great time tonight on King Row 2! Thanks for lining this up Ace, Tanker Tuesday veterans, and of course the devs for giving us the joy of beating down the walkers, seedlings, etc.!
Once I figure out a good edit for the video I took then I'll add them but until then I have just a small slideshow.
Sadly the picture of all of us together was without names. I'm sure Myrmydon and Dinah Might took better ones.
What a wonderful night -- thank you so much everyone that came out to make this a most special 7th anniversary of Tanker Tuesday!
Special thanks to Avatea, Zwillinger and TheNet for showing us that we really are part of something fun and special...what other MMO has personnel that not only come out for player run events, but enjoy them as well?
Another special thanks to everyone that donated funds to make it even more special -- Myrmydon on behalf of C.A.P.E., Death_Badger, Bramphousian and Photometric (Astrale_Champion) & Doc Cobalt on behalf of The Earthguard.
Huge thanks to everyone that helped with judging -- Myrmydon & Ultraamann judging for the costume contest and the fantastic trio of wonderful friends that helped me with the bio contest: Dinah Might, Pep Rally & Photometric...I would not have been able to do it without you!
I will be posting plenty of screenies taken throughout the event from both KR1 and KR2 as well as screenies of the winning bios tomorrow. Dinah Might was her usual dynamite self and handled the judging of KR2 all on her own -- for that I am very grateful! (I failed to collect the winners' names though and will have to post them once I am able to obtain them.)
As far as the BIO winners in KR1, there were several wonderful bios and we appreciate everyone's patience while we were working through it, your winners were:
Tie for 1st place:
Coronal Flare and Shining Shieldmaiden
Tie for 2nd place:
Rose Wonder and Watchman
Tie for 3rd place:
Blackened Burn, Emain Macha and New Colossus
Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you for being a part of the history of Tanker Tuesday!
**************************************************
**************************************************
Thank you everyone who helped out in both KR1 & KR2 there were a lot of tanks there, even the devs were saying via tells how impressive the showing was in both instances, and if we were able to get everyone in a single map it would've been soo over the top.
Zwillinger, Avatea & TheNet were a really big help in making it a fun event for everyone, we can't thank them enough (Avatea rearranged the whole praetorian invasion schedule just for us), and I'll be thanking everyone individually who helped run events and donate prize money tomorrow, I got tons of tells from folks saying they had a great time because of everyone who contributed one way or another.
To anyone who may have come to their first Tanker Tuesday tonight, pleas feel free to join the global channel TankHQ and visit the Tanker section of the forums for updates on any and all Tanker events held monthly on this server and others.
I'll look through all the great screenies and post more tomorrow, thanks again everyone!
Would be totally awesome to see another turn out like the one Acey's got pictured above!
Hope to see everyone there, THIS Tuesday -- don't forget!
