MARKSMAN AND TM TRIPLE PLAY
1. weather - morning shines and afternoon rain.
2. no seats! – even the participants had to sit on the floor like pathetic drug abusers.
3. not well organized – the setup was not grand at all, any secondary school open day will
4. no big scoreboards (whiteboards or whatever)
5. no one selling food and beverages (time like this, hotdog stand would be great!)
3 tents for the whole event.. cool! really cut cost
Nevertheless, we won 3rd in this event! Hahahahaha. Got ourselves RM500 (which of course will be the entrance fee for future up coming event again). Overall ranking is as follow :
1st Day
It was an early start for Marksman. All arrived early at the place. We noticed a something like a mocked up of a paintball field, so we thought that it was just a small model where the organizer will let us walk the field. To our dismay.. it IS THE FIELD! So we came out with the idea that TM will play paintball their way, maybe let the players move on their knees only, but no.. u can run and jump as usually one play! Why the event organizer and TM never do their homework???, what the heck, we already registered so just carried on with the game.
Early birds sunbathing
No wonder msia got so many kaki lepak... TM promoting kaki lepak??? i wonder (no chairs or bench)
Lunch time! all the 3/4 pounders!
cut cost! cut cost!! or Event Organiser making more money??
Safety and hygiene? second priority, perhaps making money 1st??
2nd Day
Started around 0900. It’s the quarterfinal. Marksman once again succeeded qualifying into the semifinal. It was a fast day and most of the games were hastily executed. Break for lunch again! Now was frm 1100 until 1400!!!! Wat the heck again! We didn’t go to lunch this time but eventually went n watch Abalone AD. After the movie, strolled for a while in the mall then proceeded to the game area.
Prepared ourselves and then played the 3rd n 4th ranking game against Team Raptor (which already beaten us twice before this). Lucky us!!! We won and that’s how we manage to secured No 3 (and RM 500).
Those who fought in this battle
Overall, we r happy to play in this event (cause managed to get something) eventhough it was not organized up to the normal standard. Advice to TM, DO NOT ENGAGE THIS EVENT ORGANISER AGAIN!!. Now…. Wonder when the other telcos will organize paintball?

Game ON!!!
Date: 18-20th Jul
Venue : Ayer Keroh, Melaka
Event : 2nd MAKSAK Paintball tourney
we left KL at about 1230.... picked tony and william up from tony's place.... then off we head to melaka..... arrived at about 1400 and we were housed in the MITC hotel... an average hotel with average amenities... the room was rather small...especially when u stuff in 3 fully grown men in it!! hahaha.... anyway, the room served us well la.... it became our bedroom, laundry room, drying room and whatever u can think off....haha... looks like a kongsi.... tony, william and i shared a room.... as soon as we got there.... we went to the field to walk the ground.... since it was our first real tourney, we did alot of research on the field.... from sketching to finding arc of fire... it was a brand new experience.... try to place ourselves in the hunter and prey position... haha...
our smaller than average multipurpose room..... haha....tido, mandi, cuci baju, dry baju, meeting room, ops room, tactic rooms, store room!! all in one.... hehe....
team marksman walking the ground..... choy seen trying to sketch... haha... i am using the more canggih way.... photography!!! but then sketching can be better sometimes.... u can draw the arch of fire and which bunker u are able to see..... as u can see...the ground was wet and muddy through out the whole tourney....
the first match was between us and the prisons department!! well.... we won that match... kill all and manage to grab the flag....the second game was also equally an easy game.... it was against penang.....on the 3rd game, we were somehow 'victimized' by the game marshals!! two of us was pulled out for the 1-for-1 rules....i was the last to be pulled out when i went into the safety zone, i counted and there was already 5 members including me.... the game was already over!! till this moment, we still dont get it why we were so harshly penalized when other teams also commit the same mistakes.....some of the marshals did apologized for their actions but wht else can be done.... we lost the game against terengganu!! damn!! the next game was against much experienced KL players.... they haf at least 3-4 pro players.... mostly haf experience playing in MPL tourney.... their tactics were fast and merciless!! hahaa..... and the last game for the day was against melaka.... well, we had to win this game to proceed to the next round.... and off coz we did.... we got 2nd place in the group table....not bad at all for a total beginner......
day 2 is much more exciting....better games and much more exciting..... our first quarterfinal game was against last years champ, negeri sembilan....the game was full with tension!! haha... at the end of the game, both teams still haf three players....so it was a 1-to-1 duel.... we nominated marksman ic3cool as our player....the two players went in and they only haf one minute to make a kill....otherwise, the most traditional way will be done to pick a winner!! tossing coins!! hahaa... anyway, we all have faith in tony la.... when the game started, all of us was practically not breathing!! haha... tony was seen moving alot and flanked the opponent from the right.... occasionally he was seen having problems with his marker!! the N9 chap was defending all the way and tony was the one moving here and there... it was a right call... the opponent who happens to be a right handed fella was in an awkward position... having to shoot with his right hand given an advantage to our team!! and just seconds before the timeout, tony manage to shoot him right on his head!! well done marksman!! hahaha... we proceed to semi finals!!! wohooo.... hehehe....semifinals was against another much stronger team.... the Selangor!!! they haf 4 MPL players!! haha... the first game was a wait and see game... both teams remained conservative and played a slow game..... after 5 minutes, both teams drew and still haf 5 players remaining.....2nd game went to selangor.... they manage to reorganize and outflanked our team after they manage to take out one of our team members!!! ok...we haf another game to go.... and this time we changed strategy!! we realized that we cant beat them if we remain passive and they are a much better team.... we also realized that we tried our best and we are already in medal position.... so it was now or never!!! we had a long pow-wow before deciding on the suicide mission!! hahaha..... 1 minute after the game haf started, mann was hit and out of the game... we are left with 4 members.... i was just waiting for the que to call from tony!!! once he said GO!! we all stood up got out of our bunkers!!! we all went charging towards the enemy!!! caught everyone by surprised... the marshals, selangor team and the spectators.... i can hear loud cheer as we were advancing!!! hahaha... one marshal was down... victim of cross fire!! haha... we was later taken out by stretcher and given treatment!! i was shot 3 times on the head and my mouth was filled with paints!!! hahaha.... that was the most exciting suicide mission!!! hahaha... when we got out of the field... everyone cheered... eventhough we lost the game... but we game a good fite... the last match gave the biggest impact!! hahaha.... and the armed forces team became the star of the day after the match!!! hahaha...
overall, the game was a good exposure for us.... an eye opener and this is our first real paintball tournament!! the organizing part is so-so la... u cant expect much from the civvies... bad and his mudtrekker teams are there to organize....but the markers were big time let down!!! few occasions where the markers ran out of CO2.... and there were also cases of jammed markers!!!
this shouldn't happen in a tourney!!! and during the closing ceremony, the MAKSAK representative announced that the Armed Forces will most probably host next years event!

9th - Training of Marksman - Ready, Steady, Go!
Date : 28th June 2008
Venue : TT SportsCI : William
This is William the Ironclaws
Orientation to the field and introduction of all the types of obstacles in the field, each got their specific callsigns. in the speedball setting, according to wil, basically the game only will last for more or less, 5mins. time for sniper? i guess not. its all about speed, accuracy, dexterity, strategy and communications.
Orientation n introduction
The training ended at around 1530 and everyone were exhausted and tired. that was the 1st training, more will come in the future to sharpen the team's skill and add ups experience in playing speedball.
