Tanker Tuesday 8 year Anniversary - Champion server

Hey everybody.

I just like to put out an invitation to any players to Tanker Tuesday #96. TT is CoH's longest running player run event.


#######Meet up on the wall near the Independence Port gate in Kings Row at 9pm EST on Tuesday Oct. 2. ########


You can show up early to hang out.

We don't have much planned this year like some of our anniversaries, like Devs showing up and dropping monsters on us like last year, completing all-tank STFs, or tank parades, and costume contests like we had on the 2nd, and 3rd anniversaries (http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...ker%20tuesday/),
but we do plan to smash stuff, and have fun like we do every month(or week if you follow the tour).

Tentative plans are for:

1) all-tank Shard TFs with Witty(fun!+long!), lvl 40+ requirement

2)runs of Acemace's AE arc #1755 Night of 1000 tanks where you get to learn about TT, and fight some of it's original attendees/creators( including myself)

3)mission teams ( I guess #3 can do #2 as well)

The only requirement is you have a Tank on Champion server, and even that second requirement is easily defeated by just transferring a tank to champion, or rolling a lowbie tank. All levels are welcome. We'll throw you on a mission with other tanks, and off you go.

We've had hundreds of tanks gathered for some of the bigger anniversaries, and last year Zwillinger, Avatea, and TheNet showed up .

There's some good pics towards the end of this thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...versary&page=4.

I'd like to point your attention to post #81 where KnightofKhonsu completely jinxes TT, and COH, and subsequently causes it's shutdown 1 year later. So blame him. ;p

Anyways, thanks for listening, and I hope to see you all there.

edit: Actually, when I say TT#96, that's 96 on Champion server.

There have been in fact many more TT on other servers. Let's see....I ran a tour of all the servers in 2009(+11), and then Warboss/NuclearMedicine from Justice, took over the coordination the last couple years, and really upped the ante with a TT every week, and EU servers every other Saturday(104-24 Tuesdays+ 48 Saturdays =128 TTs).

So a quick estimate, 96+11+128= 235 Tanker Tuesdays on 13 servers over 8 years. Maybe not quite that many, but I think I'm close.

Just thinking about all the fun I've had playing this game, and all the great people I've met, it was truly an honor sharing the virtual battlefield with you all. /salute

Thanks to the 60, or so tanks that showed up to commemorate the 8 year Anniversary of Tanker Tuesdays. A very good turnout considering the state of the game...

We had an all-tank Sara Moore TF, another TF team, a mission team, and a big league of tanks that took on Monster Island. All this after defeating 3 Paladins at TT Wall in Kings Row...I think I know where Pep will be standing when the lights go out.

Anyways, Tanker Tuesday will be on Justice next week. The complete schedule for the remaining Tuesday is posted in the Tanker Forums under TT Tour.

It's been an honor.
