The Tale

Hello!

Here is the story all about us. Enjoy reading it; it is rather long.

Well . . . it’s hard to know where to start. The team began in 2005. Then it was just N52 and I. We always used to hide from TX, but he never ever found us. And that’s how it began. We used special signs to communicate, so we knew what to do silently. That was it really. A cool game is 2005. In 2006, it was cool, and sometimes a few of our friends played with us as well. But TX was leaving us and playing with other children (known to Jakzar fans as the Krazykids), and so he never looked for us anymore. We chose other people, but it was not as good as it could have been. So we stopped.

Yes, we stopped. For the rest of the year, we didn’t play it very much, apart from maybe the occasional game when we had nothing else to do. So 2006 was ‘the bad year for the Commandos’. We played other games, and we never really though about it that much. But in 2007, it got really interesting. We began with a simple game of Log It. I won’t give you a full detail of it, but here are the main rules: Jump between logs/stage and try and tag other players. If you fall off, you are it. If you push someone off, you are it. There are a few spots where you can step down because it is a long jump. Here is a diagram:

 

Anyway, we were playing Log It. At first, it was N52, N10, M39, J109, B47 and I (J24) playing Log It, but then J94 and A78 came along, and we let them play too. There were eight people playing altogether. We played for a while, but then we practiced some jumping from log to log, without the spots. It was rather difficult for some of the jumps, but we made it in the end. Everyone had to do all the jumps, and when each of us had done it, we had no time left. And then the idea came to me: all this training . . . we could rebuild the Commandos! And so I told them all that they were all members of the Commandos, and they had just completed Agility Training Level 1.

Later on in the day, we did Agility Level 2, which was running between hundreds of trees in less than five seconds without touching any. It wasn’t as difficult as it looked. We all did it, and the record was 2.53 seconds, set by me. After everyone had taken their go (or goes) then we had no time left and had to go.

Throughout the next few days, we did a few more training levels. Probably the team favourite is Relay Railway, which wasn’t a relay, or a railway. In fact, it was some railings and a long bar against the wall, and we had to do five different levels of training on them. We had to jump on them, move across, slide down them, crawl through, and climb sideways along the wall. After the five different levels, there was the Road to Victory, to prove yourself a Master at the Relay Railway. To pass, you have to push yourself up on the bar with your arms straight, and move along sideways all the way. It sounds easy, but it is actually harder than all the other levels, even though it is very short. All the Commandos passed, and so now as I am typing, they are all Masters at the Relay Railway.

But that was only their favourite training. If you think we only do training, think again. We still play Log It, as it is good exercise to do all the jumping, and is really fun. Another great game is Jumper Warriors. A mad name, but a great game. We take off our school jumpers and fight other Commandos. We all have different attacks, so we give ourselves nicknames which fit into the attacks. Of course, we don’t hurt the other Commandos, as the rules are that you cannot attack them in the head. We started off with just playing in the main playground, testing out our attack and defence moves, and thinking up good nicknames for them. Now we play in the Duel Arena, which is the same arena as Log It (as shown in the picture above). Sometimes we do one-on-one duels, sometimes we have tag team, and sometimes we just do all against all! In one-on-one and tag team, because you are fighting the other Commandos only, you do NOT go on the logs. In all against all, you can go on the logs and on the stage, and you can gang up on any number you like. That’s all, really.

Now, you are probably wondering about D17 and L64. They are younger members that are two years younger than the main Commandos. But that does not mean they are bad at their job. D17 is one of our best lookouts, but he doesn’t play that much anymore, as he played late 2006 – early 2007. The same with L64. Now we have a new and improved team.

That’s most of what you need to know about the Commandos. Any of the games/training courses that we have described are free to be played by anyone else.

I would say The End, but there’s not much point.

I hope you know what you wanted to know!

Good Luck on your Missions!
