Our primary goal at any game is to have
fun.This is why we
play, and why we believe everyone else plays. There is no room for
cheating, no reason for anger, no excuse for anything but true
sportsmanship.In
general we have found that most paintball players are friendly,
helpful, generous, and good natured – all traits we strive to
emulate as a team and as people.
Paintball is not merely a test of one’s
physical skills and endurance, nor just a measure of one’s stealth,
accuracy, or strategy.Paintball is also a test of character.Standing strong against
impossible odds.Backing up a fellow teammate.Testing one’s mettle as a
player, a team member, and an individual, we play the game as we
choose to live our lives.
We are not now that strength which in
old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we
are;
One
equal temper of heroic
hearts,
Made
weak by time and fate, but strong in
will
To
strive, to seek, to find, and not to
yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
"Ulysses"
History of the Dead
Dead by Dawn [DBD] was officially started in September 2000
when a group of friends from Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida
decided to attend the Skirmish World Record game in
Pennsylvania.We
signed up as team “Dead by Dawn”, taken from Raimi’s “Evil Dead”
movie series, and we have since played in other scenario and big
games as DBD.
We
range in age from around 30 to 40 years old, work at varied
professions from programming to stock trading, and many of us have
young families.But we
all try to find some time for our shared passion – Paintball!
Some of us have been playing since the ancient days of
the “Splatmaster”, and other’s are relatively new to the sport.What we share in
common is the thrill of the hunt, the rush of the chase, the
heart-pounding climax of a good kill.
And after
a long successful day of non-stop hard-driving paintball, you can be
assured that we played our best, had great fun, and we will be
forever….Dead by Dawn…
