Thanks, durian :)

Just by the way, it isn't a trick per se. I didn't compare thousands of screenshots to find these nor did I repeatedly pay Pala a visit until a bouncer with the same clothing, face and posture reappeared at the exact same time of day (see shadows).

It actually happened when I was taking a shot and moved the mouse when I saw him toggle back and forth -- at first I thought it was a just a one-time glitch but playing around with the aim I realised that indeed it worked by moving just a tad closer or away from him with the camera as in I tilted my view very slightly to get these two skin textures to pop up in turns.

I don't think anyone (including myself) had seen that before. :)

It's a new one for me.  :)

That's the African sun for you, if it catches you alone it burns the s#!t out of you, that's why I always have someone with me when I'm out in the country   :-D

That's also a new one for me. As was something that happened today in Mosate Selao. I was just walking into town and suddenly I hear a merc scream, walk in that direction and see a dead merc opposite of the PS Standard building lying on the ground - I think he fell of this balcony from the building in front of the APR headquarters  :-D

Somewhere I posted a clip where a merc killed another one in the town

[Art Blade]

TS, I bet you'll find a wooden bench where that merc died. For some reason, those benches in Mosate Selao are a death trap for mercs if and when they get close to one edge, I think it's a wire frame issue of sorts, they get stuck and die. On top, not only do they "just" die, once in a while they get flung very high up in the air first and then they come plummeting down which kills them. I watched a few mercs crater in MS, it's hilarious. Normal, if you can call it that, is that they touch a bench and go, "UH-HUAAAARGH!" and drop dead on the ground, however. :) There is one of those benches in Sefapane, too.

You're right, Art, I hadn't seen it before.
When I first looked at the title of this thread :"Sun Tan" I was thinking, who is this Chinese guy named Sun Tan ? Is he Sun Tzu's brother ?  ;D

[Art Blade]

good one, I can see how that is confusing indeed  :-D

The art of war vs getting a nice skin tone, by Sun Tan, arch rival of Sun Burn. :-()
