New Zealand In January

[PAINTBALL PETE]

Well who wants to go. :bigparty:
Put your name below i have been twice, i think it's great $450 air fare from syd, $40 per night accomodation x 4 nights, entry $140 plus paint and our $ gets more sheep for your buck and stadium paintball.
regards


PAINTBALL PETE :angel:
PS They will be able to supply markers.

[Jamie_Cracker]

seriously thinking of it

[Electrofunkster]

Like wise

[RobM]

If January is going to be anything like as good as the last three (and I've got no reason to think otherwise) then you REALLY REALLY do not want to miss the event. :)
Writeup on the last one for those who are interested: http://www.paintball.co.nz/volcanic3/

[Bozo]

do we get to use that really good WDP paint again????

[Deadeye]

Im deffinetly in. Come on jamie I need some firepower backing me up:D

[Elfboy]

Ill be there boyz :)

[j3bu5]

$750 + paint + food + alcohol = better start saving :D..... or get another credit card ;)

[Deadeye]

probably about $1250 all up I guess, would be worth it.

[Blobby]

it is worth it....i'm going back again

[Knackers]

it is worth it....i'm going back again


SHHHHHHHHH dont tell blooby.but ive organised for the customs doors to be locked when he gets back

[PAINTBALL PETE]

I will be hireing a vehicle to get to hamilton so, i will have seats spare so let me know if you need a lift from the airport and back
Guy's this is just an idea if we get enough players from OZ and we can pick an AUSTRALIAN team and play a picked NEW ZEALAND team and play the best of 3 under lights and have a history making series. I'll supply the big arse trophy.

What do you think

PAINTBALL PETE :angel:

QUOTE. :whip: Why do i need to check you for player you know your hit so ####en get off ! :D

[Electrofunkster]

maybe even a pro and am one

[Deadeye]

a pro and am team seems like a good idea, but I think Petes got it right with the Aus vs NZ game.

[Elfboy]

wicked as im keen as :)

[kodos]

Dahm my card is maxxed, would be there if i could

Donations to the 'Get Kodos to NZ in January Appeal' can be made by sending me a PM :help: :help:

[Elfboy]

i gota get one lol :evil :evil :cry:

[Electrofunkster]

a pro and am team seems like a good idea, but I think Petes got it right with the Aus vs NZ game.

thats what I ment pro NZ Vs Pro Aus and Am Nz vs am Aus

[BIG P NZ]

I will put up the game time and half of the trophy cost, I think this will bring out some huge Tv coverage, winning team host the next match, I will look for a sponsor to cover one game only paint , say 3 cases per team, Pete you pick the Aussie team from players that attend Hamilton, refs dont count, any other rules we should set up, cheers Peter........... what do we call it..I like The Hookem International Open....cheers Peter

[Jamie_Cracker]

I wanna come but may go back to canada for skyball 2k4

[Deadeye]

Over the Ditch International:D

[JJJ]

I wanted to really go to this one except I will be in Japan :cry:

[Big Gav]

Well I'm going to go to this one. January is a good time to get away from the field. Knowing I haven't got to worry about getting my marker (I still say gun) back because I can borrow one (Thankyou for that). The only thing that remains is wether or not I go with a team or try and worm into one. I want to know where I can try out for the Aussie team, no one can cut oranges and carry water like me.

[Deadeye]

im a good deadbox warmer, although JJJ is better:D

[speede]

I´ll be there. Looking for a team.

[CPG]

Anybody that is coming in January and they need a lift, etc... from auckland , i dont have a big car but am willing to help.
Cheers, Ryan

[I.R.Three]

Hell yeah. .I am going and am putting a team together all ready..

[Bill]

What dates in January?

And do you need Passport / Visa for NZ?

[Jamie_Cracker]

10th and 11th from whta iam led to believe,yes you do need a passport and i dont think you need a visa
although a visa credit card would be very handy

[TTAM]

Yeah all you need is a passport and get used to 80's music its all they seem to play..

[Jamie_Cracker]

well that is what is the new stuff over there
i also hear that they drive around in old vw's and ht holdens and stuff is that true
will my sideburns be fashionable over there or do i have to wear a leather jumpsuit to match if i wanna fit in
I cant wait i wanna go so bad

[Bill]

and get used to 80's music its all they seem to play..

Excellent!! :bigparty:

[RobM]

Excellent!! :bigparty:

Well, lets face it... walking onto the field to "Eye of the Tiger" is a hell of a lot better than that nasty thumpy monotonous repetitive stuff that the youth of today listen to!

(Oh god... I'm turning into my grandfather)

I F#@KING HATE THAT SONG :hammer: :hammer: :yell: :yell: :yell: :hammer: :hammer: :yell:

[Knackers]

Only slightly better that that timless classic by the proclaimers "I would walk 500 miles" :hammer: :hammer: :yell: :fu:

Now try and get that bugger out ya head in 10 mins :cry: :cry:

[TRENT]

"and I would walk 500 more, just to be the man that walked a 1000 miles" Damn you!

[Elfboy]

mate all i think about when i hear that song is a piano smashing down on them now lol :evil :evil :hammer: :whip:

[kodos]

Ahhh now we're digging out the eighties classics

[GAV WA]

If you've never been to New Zealand before then you really want to try to go to this, the place is amazing, we stayed at a Hotel in Rotorua where if you walked out the back door of my room there was a bubbling mud pool about 10 metres from the door.

P.S. and if you see Blobby walking off the field give him a couple in the guts, actually keep this in mind for lots of guys over there, but especially Blobby. Trust me you'll thank me later.

[Bill]

Since this topic has twisted to 80's music, go and waste 20 minutes of your time here.

:respekt: Blobby - I think that people are making those general references to the 4 x DMW that you pulled .... think that you'll manage a similar number in January?

[Blobby]

think i am all walked out now marty.......besides you are the master....i shall bow out to you now.....
heheh

[TYDDY]

For all of the people not aware. The previous 2 people Mr Dannefaerd and Mr Blobby both were shameless enough to do a Dead Mans Walk. On several occasions at that.
Shame Shame Shame. (they are funny to see though.

[Dannefaerd]

For all of the people not aware. The previous 2 people Mr Dannefaerd and Mr Blobby both were shameless enough to do a Dead Mans Walk. On several occasions at that.
Shame Shame Shame. (they are funny to see though.

Blobby did 4 of them .... I only did one (and I got the dirty rat award - bastards)

Have to say that I didn't see any of Blobbys - did they all come off? Or was it a case of quality over quantity?

[Deadeye]

are they illegal moves at Appl??

[Electrofunkster]

I dont know I think so .. but if not .. you might find a ref pulling you anyway

[Dannefaerd]

Don't see why they should be outlawed in APPL as long as you're using armbands (which is the only true way to check if someone is gone) ... basic rule of thumb for me is the following - if their arm is not up in the air when they're walking - give them two to make sure.

[GAV WA]

They are illegal moves in the APPL. The one Martin pulled deserved the award. Blobby had quantity and quality but Martin's was dirty. :D

[Blobby]

thanks gav...i think......i timed mine to break open a side for the rest of team....i got out mostly straight away after i got the elim...marty you were just evil....

[BIG P NZ]

Ok guys, just got of the phone with Dianne at MacDev,great news for the teams playing in the Aussie vs kiwi games, MacDev have put up 2 team sets of tops for these games, I would like to say thanks to MD and team,a special thanks to Paintball Pete, this was his idea and I think it will be one of the better ones to come out of aussie :p the Aussie vs kiwi games will now be called the MacDev International Cup, cheers Peter

[Electrofunkster]

Thats great News .... Hope I can be involved with this

[GAV WA]

I just had a preminition of the out come.

[Blobby]

so what format will the game be....best of 3...xball???
one game just aint enough..we really need to smash you kiwis several times to shw you whois the best....not calling you slow...just not quick......

[BIG P NZ]

Damn Gav, :whip: your roo has been watching the Aussie rugby team :bigparty: , nice :evil real nice.

Blobby, best out of 3 sounds good, Pete had a great idea when he thought of this, some how I think this was bought up some time ago as well, anyway it will be a blast, keg of beer in the grandstand, hope the kiwi boys will get a drink this time, at roto the aussie drank the keg dry ( the 2 of them) and then tried to fill the bugger back up again :bigparty: , see you all soon,cheers Peter.

Thanks Macdev and WDP for supporting this game :kiss: :respekt:

[Elfboy]

not mentioning any names KNACKERS?????? :p

[Knackers]

not mentioning any names KNACKERS?????? :p

It was difficult to find the toilets :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Elfboy]

Roflol y man good one ;)

ill try that one next time :D

[Jamie_Cracker]

that is a fair enough call knackers when you gotta go

[Dannefaerd]

They are illegal moves in the APPL. The one Martin pulled deserved the award. Blobby had quantity and quality but Martin's was dirty. :D


thanks gav...i think......i timed mine to break open a side for the rest of team....i got out mostly straight away after i got the elim...marty you were just evil....

Ah - but it was a lesson that they will never forget (and god :help: anyone who walks off the field against those lads again)

[Knackers]

NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Im gunna have to listen to Roxete to get the proclaimers outa my head :D :D


I see your Roxette and raise you ABBA.......Dancing Queen!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Damo]

and ill raise u one paintball playing BG and one non paintball playing BG... shit i just lost, one of em is dead :cry:

[Knackers]

and ill raise u one paintball playing BG and one non paintball playing BG... shit i just lost, one of em is dead :cry:

(Knackers starts to panic...........and quickly looks through his Bay City rollers collection) :eek: :eek:

[PAINTBALL PETE]

UNREAL NEWS :D :bigparty:
WDP are now supplying 15 cases of paint for the 3 games and with BIG P's great news that MCDEV are supplying now both sets of team tops this will be HUGE.
Also with TV takeing a bigger interest in it than the fantastic 3 minutes of prime time news slot that they gave the ROTARUA VOLCANIC and made CHERYL from the x-presidents and a action segment on TABBY from the jetts house hold names.
It will make the sport shows and news programs back in australia (wide world of sport) UNREAL.
As i write this i am waiting for a call from the APPL if they will saction this so it will go down into Paintball history, which i hope they do with the support that the manufactures are contributing and by the support that the aussie teams that are going over, it gives the aussie teams some good hard training for the up and cumming APPL 04 series they might even use it for the first round of the APPL O4 series.
PLEASE CONSIDER GOING OVER THE KIWI'S WILL HELP US OUT.

PAINTBALL PETE :angel:

[JJJ]

Excellent news PETE. Just keep rubbing it in because I am away!!!!!

[BIG P NZ]

Hey guys,if you get the chance, take a bit of time and send a thank you note to WDP and MacDev, its the sort of thing that helps with continued sponsorship, thanks WDP and MacDev, Paintball Pete, looking forward to seeing you soon, cheers Peter.

[GAV WA]

Maybe my preminition was of the Rugby.
:D :p :D :p :D

[RobM]

Maybe my preminition was of the Rugby.
:D :p :D :p :D

Bah. I'd be upset, but my team was knocked out ages ago. :)

Either way, if any Aussies are interested in attending the January event in Hamilton, and need accommodation/travel/gear assistance, etc, then please DO leave a message on the NZ Paintball Message Board, and I'm sure that NZ players will do what they can to help out.

HELLO I HOPE ALL ARE WELL. :)

The Aussie Team was made up of:
BIG GAV CAPTAIN (QLD)
PRECHER "
BONES "
BLOBBY "
PETE SPENCE (NSW)
JAMES MACD "
MATHO (WA)
SCOTTY STOKES (SA)

Thanks to the guys they played there hearts out without a doubt.

ME :angel:

[Jamie_Cracker]

Good stuff guys sounds like it all went off well and that fun was had by everybody,disappointed that i missed it but you get that

[I.R.Three]

Welt came in 7th. I was dissapointed but the comp was pretty stiff in NZ.
I am currently in Melb air port so will post more when I get chance.

[matho]

well once again i went across the river to take on thoses little new zealanders

welt and mdft also went this time ; i played for bk what a great bunch off blokes was picked up from the airport at 1am by gav thank you very much. Karl also came along for the ride.

All the teams that did turn up made it a very memoriable tournie. The field was the biggest i ever played on which made for lots and lots of paint in the air at any one given moment of the game. Many skillfull moves and many team plans were a must for this field and pete brumby did an awesome job setting it up at the stadium well done pete.

To the bk boys we played some great ball and it was a pleasure playing and meeting you boys and i am spewing i didnt go trout fishing with you but them the breaks of owning a business. We had a bit of bad luck in the finals but thats paintball you should be all proud of yourselves. Well done to mac dev team you played some great ball on the weekend and the deserved the win.


To the young team wolf pack it was great to see you guys trying as hard as you did and the new shirts look great (even if one was mine ha ha ha) keep up the good work guys you will get there in the end.

Paintball Pete and Jill did an outstanding job once again in being head ref in controlling and teaching the refs how too actually ref it was good to see that there was really no incidents which really mattered. Its what we need in the sport is a professional head ref that knows what he is doing and can direct traffic on the field with his refs not be tucked away in little back room somewhere. Well done pete. I hope too see you as head ref around australia and new zealand as you have my support

[Naughty NINJA]

That was the BEST tourney I have played in....period.

The stadium,field,location and most of all...the people.
I'd take up all the bandwidth on this forum easily just listing the great people we got to spend time with and play Paintball,it was just such an awesome experience.One I hope to relive in the future some time...

CONGRATULATIONS again to MacDev Factory Team,you guys need to come down to SAPPA and ball with us this year.

Big P...Mr Mumby...true legend,does every Kiwi baller proud.Heart full of gold & paintballs!!

Paintball Pete....his Aussie equal.

SKINNY,Gavin(Phantom Menace?),I'll find you guys and the rest on the NZ forum and thanks all of you asap.

It was YOU people that made the weekend so special.

Warmest regards and thanks again.

[Rainman]

Yeah but how did your TIMMY go NN?????????

[I.R.Three]

What the Naughty Ninja said...
Brendon Charles. Thanks ever so much for the help and support you showed us.
Pete Mumby. You really are the true spirit of New Zealand paintball. Total respect to you and I wish you and Brendon all the best for the future. I hope to catch up again in the near future.
I hear Rd 1 SDAPPA is going to be huge..
Sinny and the boys. Chjeers for the BBQ on Friday night. It was a pleasure beating you twice for our spot. You did make us work very hard for it.
Also, to every KIWI who lent their equipment out to us. thanks so much as with out you, Welt would not have been able to come over and play. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Thanks to Big Gav N Preach for playing. It was an honour to have you on board.
Speede, pity you left.
Burke.. hanks heaps for playing on Sunday. Couldnt have done it with out you.

[Naughty NINJA]

The Lasoya was going off!!
The fastest I saw on the LCD was 14bps,I didnt check every game,but on average 12-13bps.I should have bought E2 batteries for my EGG...it seemed to run a bit slow which wouldnt have helped.

Very,very easy to shoot long fast strings and very accurate even with the standard barrel.

W.A.S. Equalizer board v2.7

"Forced" mode with a Z-board HALO would easily achieve 20+ bps.

"Forced" mode means the marker WILL NOT fire until the ball is in place fully.It was recommended to use "Delayed" mode,which times the bolt out for 3/4 of a second or until ball is detected...but this can cause chopping of paint.

Forced is the shit...as long as the loader keeps up!!

I've never shot so much paint,so effectively, until now.

Long live the Chris Lasoya 2k3 Intimidator!!!!
