Episode 1: The Beginning of the Clan wars!

Under the rule of Genpatton and andy1005 in the first fear us, fear us was thriving with good leadership and good relations with other clans made the clan very strong indeed. The Fear US website began to spiral out of control soon after his departure due to spam and complete ignorance to the rules Andy1005 and Genpatton set earlier. Andy1005 left due to his laptop needing servicing and it took the whole of the 6 weeks holiday to service it. Once back Andy1005 noticed that he was no longer part of fear us anymore and that his position was replaced by Jerrico. Andy1005 was soon invited back by Jerrico but Andy1005 was no longer second in command.

The website was now full of spam from the likes of Desert Rat and Wildshot who were just there to increase their post amount as high as possible via spam. Andy1005 as the non-corrupt leader soon set about replacing the members that he planned to overthrow and took emergency actions to prevent the site from falling into further disrepair. Andy1005 first of all removed Jerrico from power because of the ill-effects he had on the fear us members. This lead to rebellions from the lower members so Genpatton quickly displaced Andy1005 from his leadership and Jerrico banned Andy1005 from the website once he regained power.

Andy1005 was Livid, very livid indeed. In fact he was so livid he set up a clan to rival fear us itself. This is where the new clan becomes named: The Runeotanks and where the clan wars actually begin officially.

Episode 2: The Age of Deception!

After the formation of the Runeotanks, Fear US decided to deploy spies within Andy1005's clan to collect information on what was happening in there. What they did report however was a honour for Andy's clan because the reports contained information that this new clan is thriving by adding new members every week.

This new clan also had a sturdy command structure with Andy1005 (admin) in full control with Disaster and Battousai13 at his side. Andy then moved to take the battleground to the enemy and he did this with the most skill possible by placing spies of his own into their clan. The spy war had only just begun... with both clan's deploying spies into each other clan. Andy1005 had the edge however and by the end of the year... Andy's spies were heavily implanted into Fear Us.

Andy used every trick in his book to tackle Fear Us and make them pay for their betrayal in the past. He Formed the league of united clans (which eventually became the empire) in which to defeat fear us and in this way he Destroyed Fear us for the first time ever...

Episode 3: A Destructive Presence!

The spy wars raged on even after Andy heavily ladened Fear US with undetectable spies. Fear US would not give up its rights to be master over me no matter the cost. It was time to unleash the secret weapon... Andy1005's charm and deception. Andy1005 actually convinced Genpatton that he could be an admin again. After Andy had deceptively conned Genpatton into giving away the admin spot he set about destroyed Fear us which he did. He set all the colours to black and started to delete the boards and catergories one by one til the website was empty. Once he had done this there was much celebration in the Runeotankian camp with Andy now the most powerful person in the clan wars.

Genpatton however livid about Andy destroying his website rebuilt again and this time the destruction of fear us was again down to Andy's charm and deception. Genpatton was again deceived (how could you be deceived twice by the same person?) again into giving Andy the admin powers he craved and this time Fear Us was moderately safe. Andy didn't want to destroy Fear US yet he wanted this authority to brag to the other fear us members and shove it in there faces until Andy got bored. Once Andy got bored he deleted the site for a second time thus demoralising all Fear us members, not as much as the first time but still a lot.

This time Genpatton handed all security to Desert Rat and Wildshot and they rebuilt. However The runeotankians were so fired up for war their attempts to keep security tight were breached for a short time with a spy actually gaining admin status, However this spy did not want his cover blown so he asked Andy to find another way in. He thought and thought about how to get in but they had jammed the place shut like a fortress. We thought about getting an admin place indirectly through one of the original admin's on there but this was very unlikely to ever happen that was until Dan Jordan Came along.

Dan Jordan was our hero he knew Desert Rat's password for tankmania and that means that was the exact same password he used for Genp boards. Desert Rat was an admin as well so we used Desert Rat's account against itself and deleted all the boards and catergories for a third and (sort of) final time. Huge Jubilation rang out of Runeotanks that day but the real war started after this victory. Fear Us3 was a walk in the park compared to the new site: NTOVER...

Episode 4: The Fragmentation of Fear US

After the Destruction of Fear Us three times Genpatton gave up the clan fight altogether, however some of the former clan members wanted to keep the war going so they split into different fractions of Fear Us. This fragmentation meant that it would be harder for Andy to destroy all the clan sites that were present. This strength of the clans was also their biggest weakness; they had to recruit new members to their clans to compensate for the lack of members. Andy's plan was to insert people into each of the clans and destroy them once and for good once they got admin spot.

This wasn't to be however and Andy lost his patience with his spies. He decided in quick timing that the only way to destroy these websites would be to convince the members in them to work for him. This became a reality when (Classified information) decided to work for Andy and destroy China City. China City was the 3rd most important clan site at that time but... it was a start for the runeotankians. Andy's next aim was to destroy Dtankz which was 4th important and the least important of the fractions. He set about this by convincing Jake to join his side and Jake wiped out the whole of the site and made Andy admin. Andy soon swept fear into Desert Rat's clan: The Defiants and it was becoming clear that Andy would destroy them too.

Andy finally left the clan to rot due to all the members leaving and they soon got wiped out by inactivity. There was 1 clan left in the Runeotankian way and this clan was the most powerful clan Fear Us had ever made. The Runeotankians were given false sites and everything in the book to deter them from the site. It still remained a mystery to the Runeotankians where the site was developing as all the members at the site were fear us fanatics who were strictly loyal and intelligent enough not to give the URL away.

However Andy was probing and probing the old fear us members when he came across the weakness in the system. Andy started probing Dimi more and more until he eventually broke and told Andy the website. Andy bouyed up by this success set about trying to destroy the website and demolish all known threats to him. The website was impenetrable however and even his best spies were unable to gain access due to the rigorous anti-spy checks given by Wildshot. Andy was undettered however and he found the weakness in the system by figuring out that proboards must be written in english and Ntover had a section for other languages.

Andy reported Ntover in for this breach of their rules and prayed that Ntover would be destroyed completely. His prayers came true when 24 hours later Ntover was nowhere to be seen and so had been destroyed and the threat to Andy and the runeotankers squashed. Andy had learnt a lot and developed a sixth sense in almost everything. The Runeotanks have been refurbished and a new era has begun!

Bulldogs & Nightbreeds
andy1005 had a large running feud with the Bulldogs, a team run by ODEN. There were several arguements, and much bickering on either side, before the bulldogs decayed under inactivity. andy1005 claimed another victory under his belt.

The end of The Runeotanks
In the end, due to inactivity, andy1005 announced the disbanding of the runeotanks in early 2006. He posted a farewell topic from the TM forums, and has not been on TM much since.
