KGT tells us that noH is used when refering to a specific war. veS is used
when refering to war in the general sense. We would use veS here.
On my webpage I use /veS Quj/ to refer to the game in general. When I describe
the game I include /rItlh moQ/ "spheres of paint". (KGT, rItlh "paint, dye").

For this we want the -bogh suffix.
tlhIngan Hol jatlhbogh nuvpu' "people which speak klingon".
tlhIngan Hol jatlhbogh nuvpu' veS Quj SuvwI'pu' je vInej.
But this doesn't necessarily mean that the people do both. This says "people
tht speak klingon and paintball warriors."
We want to connect both qualities into each person.
tlhIngan Hol jatlhbogh veS Quj SuvwI'pu' vInej.
"I look for paintball warriors that speak klingon."

Actually, this is pretty good. I might have used Sam instead of tu'.
As for tuq... I've played pball with some good player that I wouldn't
necessarily include in my house. Having someone a part of your house is a
serious thing. Some words that you can choose from:
tlhach - sect, faction
boq - bloc, coalition, alliance
mangghom - army
wey - company (military term)
nawlogh - squadron
Saqghom - landing party
tIjwI'ghom - boarding party

This is how I got started in klingon. I wanted a "code" for paintball. One of
the guys was a trekkie and showed me TKD. Now here I am.
DloraH, BG ... a paintball god.
