Adventure Beach played host to what might one day be a future historic battle to save mankind from the termination.
On Feb 7 the first chapter in a three-part battle between the Cyborg Armies and the human resistance played out on the 80 acre Adventure Beach Scenario Paintball facility near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Sponsored by Tippmann, ProCaps Direct and Kee Action Sports, 225 people participated in the first act of the trilogy of scenario events based on “The Terminator” storyline.
In addition to slinging paint, players, volunteers and staff raised $850 for the Buck Creek Church’s Ben Lay Charity Drive. On the field, Wesley Jacobs commanded of the human resistance in the role of Gen. John Conner. Jacobs led dozens of individual players and regional paintball teams, such as the Charlotte Dogs of War, Myrtle Beach Team MBmisfits, Charlotte Chaos Parade and the Roanoke SSK from Virginia. However, despite the valiant efforts of the human warriors, the Cyborg Commander Larry “Ironman” Rivenbark of the Topsail Beach’s Team Rogue Cell and the forces of SKYNET terrorized the humans on every front. When not on the run from “Terminator” units that repeatedly infiltrated the human command structure, cyborg forces, such as Wilmington Port City Militia, Laurinburg Carolina Sabers, Charleston Section 8, Jacksonville Team Rats and others, pushed humanity to the brink of extinction.
The final score for the event was Cyborgs 2900; Humans 900. Myrtle Beach’s Shadow Group hosted event, volunteering as referees and staff for the game. The event was also featured as the lead story in the Sun News’s Sunday local section with an extended photo gallery on their web site.
However, this is not the end of humanity’s last stand. On April 25-26, part two of the SKYNET story will take place.
“This isn’t a stand-alone scenario,” Kevin Shimwell, Adventure Beach owner said. “The events that happened in part one will have a direct effect on where the forces will start and what resources they will have.”
SKYNET Part II will test the paintball teams on several levels. Not only will their tactical and shooting skills be tested. “Part II will be a true 24-hour event,” Shimwell said. “There will be no time for sleep. We will be running missions for 24 hours straight.” For more information, contact Adventure Beach at 843-222-9081 or at www.abpaintball.com.
