tanx has come a long way since I started to play it. When I started to play it was 4 to a room and no rating system privates could type and strange as it may sound if u stood by the white hill or anywhere else outside the valley, and aimed at the fuel in the valley you could click on that and move right to the fuel. Another quark was if u fired a shot and did not let go of the right click and quickly clicked left u would get a rapid firing of 2 shots. after a couple months of that they changed it to so if u did it to fast it would blow up in front of you. In effect you shot your first shot and gave damage to yourself. None of these firing options are around anymore except for u can still shoot with the right click and fire many other with the left click granted u didn't let go of right click. and as many of you know the rating system has undergone so many changes its hard to keep up with them all.....this is part 1 of 3 final posts that i will make. playing since - Nov 9 2001 sarah
