MySpace a place for friends

On November 16, 2006 two respected 5-man paintball teams from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia came together as Militia to participate in future Paintball Sports Promotion events. These two teams were known as Cynical and NVS (Envious). Over the past few years players on both rosters have known each other and played together as both teams matured. While on the field they were rivals to each other but off the field they were best friends, almost like brothers. Now playing together as a Division Two team in the PSP(Paintball Sports Promotion) circuit.

Cynical is the older of the two teams. This team was formed in March 2004 to play local 3-man events and some larger national events such as the Ultimate Madness. By 2005 they picked up additional members and tried their hand at the national level in the NPPL Super 7-man format. By the second leg of the series, hosted in Denver, they were able to achieve a 10th place finish out of 63 teams. By 2006 they trimmed the roster and began to play in the PSP Division 4 5-man format and took 2nd place at their first national 5-man event in Las Vegas while also dominating the local 5-man scene in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia by consistently placing in the number 1 spot. Cynical’s history is long and their track record has only gotten better with each passing season.

NVS was formed in January of 2006 to compete in the NPPL Super 7-man format. By the summer of 2006 they decided to break into other markets and compete in the PSP 5-man format in hopes that it would provide better exposure to the team and its supporters. At the end of September of 2006 they entered their first ever national event with the PSP at the Mid-Atlantic Open venue. Not only was this their first national event but they also were able to advance into the semi-finals after only 9 months of being together as a team. After a good showing at the Mid-Atlantic Open they set their sights on the 2006 World Cup in Florida. It was during the break between the Mid-Atlantic Open and World Cup that they merged with Cynical to become Militia and decided to prepare for the 2007 season instead.
