Patrick found us a rental home, and the three of us began our great adventure. Jamie was a trooper and did her best, but what a thing to go through as a teenager?” i Jamie is now 42 years old and living her best life.
“ Patrick and I got married at the Texas Renaissance Festival in late 1998,” Diane said.” Kerry was the best man, Wayne gave me away, Jamie was my beautiful maid of honor; teammate Bill ' Z ' McClure( founding member of Blitzkrieg) was a groomsman, teammate Austin " Ferret " Willis was the photographer, and a mess of players, teammates, and friends came out for a good time.”
In 1999, MXS published the General Scenario Rules of Play(© McKinnon). This 25-page document was made available online, and with print copies at all MXS events for all players, fields, and companies to utilize. It was created to ensure safety, consistency, and direction
across all paintball scenario formats. The GSRP went on to be used by production companies and fields for many years, and is used in various formats today.
By early 2000, Patrick had co-created a successful operation with Kerry ' s games at BSG, so Diane and Pacman decided to give producing events on their own a try. In 2000, Mackz Xtreme Sportz( MXS) was born. Along with Jamie“ Jester” McKinnon,“ Mother” and“ Pacman”, were the producers of roughly 100 paintball scenario events from 2000 to 2008 all over America.
One of the fabled events MXS produced was the 2001 Camp Blanding MOUT event.
Andy Van Der Plaats, played a key role in making the event happen, reaching out to his contact at the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center ' s Military On Urban Terrain site in Starke, Florida, requesting permission to produce a 24-hour event there.
