Overview
Ninth Spectrum Paintball is a family-friendly paintball range located on the far southeastern border of Fort Brunsett, out on a hill near Snake Creek with a lot of scruffy land too rocky for farming and too thinly forested for foresting, but perfect for the purposes of trees and boulders to hide behind while splatting 'foes' with paint.
The second of its name, it was originally conceived of by November an Nua back in Aleswich, ME. The original is still owned, but no longer operated, by November.
The park offers three different ranges:
- Wooded Range
- Urban Range
- Capture the Castle Range
An indoor range is currently under construction. When finished, it will offer a "humans vs. aliens" scenario, where the "human" team will be given guns with UV-reactive paint, to simulate alien blood.
A place like this requires a lot of upkeep! Here are a few of the positions you could fill in it.
- Guide/Companion
- Do you like paintball? Want to help out n00bs and get them comfortable with it? You'd spend most of your time at the training area or out on the ranges.
- Retail/Rentals
- Someone's got to handle the cash registers, and that someone is you. Employees in this position help out in the nice, safe, dry interior of the rental building, selling the hundreds of colours of paintballs to customers and selling/renting out guns, melee weaponry and other assorted gear to guests. The bathrooms are in the back. So's the employee break room.
- Instructors
- Know how to hit stuff? Know how to shoot well, and have the patience of a saint? Lots of fun anecdotes to make nervous first-timers laugh? This job may be for you. You'd spend most of your time showing guests how to use their weapons, and running them through the basics out on the shooting range. Your job would be to keep people comfortable and educate them on gun safety at the same time.
- Landscapers
- The grounds don't stay that clean without effort. You would be in charge of the upkeep of the plantlife and landscapes for the various ranges. Your job would be part gardener, part construction worker, part set designer. You would be the one in charge of cleaning up if kids spray-painted anything they shouldn't have while staff wasn't looking.
- Janitor
- You keep the rental area clean, and restock the toilet paper, towels, vending machines, etc. You're part cleaning lady, part handyman. Pretty easy job, often done at night or in the early, early morning, before the park opens.
- Caterer
- These often have their own businesses, and have NSP as a customer. There are no kitchens on site. All food is brought in from the outside, mostly things which guests can easily pocket to finish later. Sandwiches, cookies, snack packs, etc.

The rainbow has a very capable manager, and isn't always at the park, but she keeps it firmly under her control. Everything is organized and tracked and logged, and employees' schedules are shuffled with consequent ease. If someone can't come in to do something, very often, November will simply pick up the shift herself. This can be a source of entertainment in the event that a shooting instructor can't make it in, given how notoriously bad at firearms the rainbow is known to be... |
| Miscellany: Mavis |

Mavis isn't a gun instructor, but she cleans, she repairs, and she can help you out with rentals and scheduling! She is the bloody unicorn of the paintball queendom. |
| Something!: This could be you! |

You could be here! |
Don't know how to play paintball? No worries. The rulesets below are provided for your convenience. If you have a suggestion, let November know, or follow the template and add it to the page yourself.
- Elimination
- Teams: 2
Rules: Decide on a time limit, then divide into teams and start at opposite ends of the field. Each time you successfully 'kill' (mark) an opponent, they must raise their arm to indicate they have been marked, and walk off of the field. The winner is the team with the most 'live' players still on the field at the end of the time limit.
- Capture the Flag
- Teams: 2-4
Rules: Capture the Flag has two variations. If you are playing in the Urban or Wooded ranges, you will be using the Center Flag variant. If you are playing in the Capture the Castle range, you will be using the two- to four-flag variant.
Center Flag: Assign each team a "base" and a "flag station" for a goal. Next, place a flag in the center of the field. To win, a team must successfully acquire the flag and bring it to the opponent's flag station. If you are shot, raise your arm and walk off of the field. Count aloud to sixty, then return to play.
Multiple Flags: Choose teams. The Capture the Castle range has four potential colors. Red and Blue are on one end of the map, and Green and Yellow are on the other. The goal is to get across the field to the other castle, steal their flag, and bring it back to your own castle. Red/Blue may steal the flag of Green/Yellow and vice versa.
