NSPL Round 2 – UCZ – 18/3/07 (new colour ooohhh)

NSPL Round 2 – UCZ – 18/3/07

 

This was the first event of 07 for riptide.  It turned out an interesting day, which because I’ve just decide to write about it now I’ve forgotten most of the detail.  So I’m going to write a short few facts:

 

  • Riptide came 4th (I think).
  • We beat all the good teams, but lost to all the bad ones.
  • We beat blitz that was about the most important win for me.
  • I didn’t have one run though.
  • I played a lot better and I believe it helped the team a lot.
  • I’m still panicking when I’m one of the last few left.
  • Most of the team hasn’t played together before so we didn’t have much team bonding and I think we lost a game or two because of it.  By HG5 we will be wasting everyone!
  • We looked cool in our new team tops.
  • I didn’t brake anyone’s stuff (surprise surprise)
  • I annoyed a lot of people, but they new I was joking (I hope)
  • I played well but not aggressive enough.
  • I played mid on the left with my crazy both handed shooting one of my many great skills.
  • You lot are all getting bored of reading this by now
  • I’ll be back for reading and playing a lot better so watch out.

 

Cheers Tim

 

p.s Riptide FTW

KoTH || February 18th 07

Hi,

 

I played at a 5man KoTH (king of the hill) tournament and came 4th with my team and the day turned out to be a blast thanks for that guys.  We went into it as the underdogs, two kids still in middle school one of 10? Ryan and the other 12 Bob both stars of the future there I think.  We had me and one other nspl player Nick who helped me greatly not only by co-organising it but by playing really well on the day.  So we only had 4players for a 5man tournament so we had to borrow players from another team hellfire, thanks for the help guys!

 

The day was very relaxed and was a lot of fun.  I played alright but wasn’t too much to shout about.  I played back centre but I was never to be in that bunker more than half way though a game as I had to move, to either fill in a bunker or make the game suite our style of play.  Our game plan was to play defensive and earn our moments to win the game, we would let them come to us and let them think they had the upper hand then when we had the right moment we managed to push them back and hopefully get the win.  Anyway I didn’t play snake as I have spent little time playing there and I didn’t want to make the chances of us getting silver were impossible so I played the ‘aggressive back player’.

 

I only made one run though and the ref made a bad call or either the balls didn’t break as I mugged 2 of the 3 player in the back centre, middle left & right.  I got the two mid players as they both moved to see if they were out and only one walked and the ref didn’t do anything to help apart from call me out which was fair enough as all the guns started to point at me. OUCH!!!!!  Anyway it was against the second best team cool as ice so if I did pull it off it would have been the best move of the day by miles. 

 

I am not going to tell you much more about me now as I’m sure you are all starting to get a bit bored.  I would like to say thanks to Syd not only for putting up with me but for fitting the new parts to my gun and getting my new gold C7 gear bling bling.  The two youngsters won two games for us and I think in both of those games the older lot were all out first (me included) - so watch out for them!

 

I am thinking about making the Titans an official KoTH team, so watch out for us guys you will be wearing our paint at the end of the day.  Yet again thanks for all the help everyone gave me and I had a lot of fun.

 

Cheers Tim.

 

p.s pictures and videos up very shortly

pp.s Nige your 07 is light and sexy but it is not as fast as bobs 06.

 

Training 28/1/07

The training was at skirmish bristol and to sum it up breifly there was a lot of mud and i had one hell of a lot of fun. Snatch offered me a spot and said i was a very good player and i had massive potentail! i turned them down instantly Cool . I learnt a lot in the day but it was a very easy going training were all the others were taking it easy as this was probably there first time playing after christmas. But i wasn't for me and i really wanted to start playing.

First off we started with a snaping drill, were i found out i was moving to much of my upper body and i should only be moving my gun out. Then we moved onto about 1/2 hour of running and gunning shooting at a paint box to the left, left handed and at a paint box to the right, right handed if you didn't guess. I was told i was one of the best there, i was moving fast paint was pritty close but i was slow on changing hands! Then we played a few brief games before lunch. Then we left for lunch were Linsdey or soemthing offered me a spot on snatch! Then over lunch he read out the team contract to them which i think we should do if we don't all ready?

Then after lunch I went a bit down hill. We started off with a game to get warm, were i mugged 3 snatch players and won the game by myself Smile . Then came the sliding drills, were i was told that i was a snake player and that i have the perfect build to be one aswell. So i went with what he said and started to do some sliding drills into the snake. Were i landed the first one perfectly apart from the fact i hassitated a bit and over slid the bunker. Then came the second attempt were my macro line snapped in 2 letting all the air poor out, which nearly froze my fingers off. This was a sign of things to come.

after i got my gun working etc... everything started to flow for about 1/2hour then i got shot in the fingers twice once were i got hit last week the second breaking on my finger tips. I wasn't pleased with myself. This also made me miss a game and put me off a bit as getting shot in the finger really hurts. Then i played a few more game and played well enough in the two i took part in shooting 3 players nothing to be proud of but nothing to cry over either. In these games i managed to brake a ball in all 3 of the worst places hopper, gun and barrel. The hopper im still trying to clean out and i think i will brake something if i open it up so AndyB to the rescue. the barrel was easy to clean, but then i cleaned the bolt oof my pmr and a leak game though the back cap and i started to piss myself as i thought i had broken something which i hadn't thank god. I just needed some more lube which i sorted out soon as a got home.

Over all this was a very productive day. I learnt a lot and i am probably a better player because of it. If i keep improving at this rate i'll will be a killing machine!!

cheers Tim

3man newbie tourny! 21/1/07

hi,

i am making my second entry on to my site.  Before you say anything else i have played other tournys i just haven't written about them as this is a new site and its all too far in the past.  Right back to the point, last sunday (date above) i played in a 3man newbie tounry to have a bit of fun, practice and to get my mate back into paintball.  We came 3rd overall, we had a shot to be first but we needed to win every game in the afternoon, but becasue my friend and who ever else guested for us were constantly getting shot out early i couldn't win everything by myself, i did try don't hurt me Jay.  The morning i was playing in a position i didnt like and i was a bit rusty so i went out very early on in every game.  However in the afternoon i had some insprided play, with my kill count shooting though the rough, i was able to regain some convidence and make some important run thoughs and other fancy moves.  Every game apart from 1 i hung the flag for my team, usally after a run though.  A few occasions i did lose my head a bit, i tried to run though 3players (to my defence i thought there was only 2, so it made it a lot harder) which wasn't a good idea.  in game 9 i ran out of paint which was a dicieding factor in the game as i never had enough paint to fix both oppents into there bunkers to let me do a run though. 

But i will stop randomling on now and i would just like to thank everyone who played, marshalled and coached this event it was amazing.  Even though my mate nicked the cup, paint and my clothes.
