It is 1862 and you have arrived in Dallas, Texas. You just couldnât stand New England and its big crowded cities and bitter cold winters. Sometimes you didnât even have enough money and food to keep going on. One day you decided to sell your store and move to the Old West to make something of yourself. You didnât know what; you just wanted to be something. When you finally got to Dallas it finally hit you! You said,â Forget being a store keeper, I want to fight!â Which means to you that you could be one of two things an Outlaw or a Sheriff, but first you would have to prove it to the people. Would you be the Sheriff protecting the citizens, cleaning the streets of evil, or would you be the Outlaw striking fear and hate into the people? It all begins here. All you brought with you is what you packed and that is $200.00 dollars, the clothes youâre wearing, and a Map of Texas.

The nickname is not mandatory.

Reputation is very simple; basically if you want to be a Sheriff you need your Rep to have a positive Rep. If you want to be an Outlaw you want your Rep to be negative. You can raise it or lower it by doing certain good/bad deeds. There is also going to be a neutral deed sometimes. The neutral deed gives you neither positive/negative Rep. You can change from being an Outlaw to a Sheriff or a Sheriff to an Outlaw at anytime by lowering/raising your Reputation.

* You will have to overcome your bad trait and then you can change it to a good trait.

Hope you like it. This is my first one.

You arrived in Dallas,Texas as so as you got off the train you saw a welcome sign saying,"Welcome to Dallas,Texas the friendliest place around!" population 100. When you look down at the small town you recognized a some of the buildings: A Bar,Genral Store, An Inn, and a Sheriff Office. When you start to walk foward you see a man. He says to you," Welcome, to Dallas, Texas!"

Here is your first chance to gain some Rep; you could be a friendly person and say,"Hello" or you can tell him something heart-breaking. It's up to you.

Thanks for the compliment.

"Oh bugger off ya little man! Don't you think I know where I am already?" I say at him in a mean and spiteful tone and then walk past him nearly hitting him with my shoulder. I head to the bar for a more homely feeling.

The man says,"Good riddenance!" You look at the town and see a a couple of buildings, but all you are focused on is the bar. You notice the bar and walk in. There you see two ladies(I think you know what they are) one guy at the bar (passed-out) and two men playing cards. Then there's the barkeep. What do you do?

I go to the bar and say to the bartender: "Hey, toss me a whiskey, will ya? .. Well, you seem more like the kinda guy i'd talk to, rather than that little greeter man at the train station. So, I just got here and I'm looking for a "new start" what would you suggest? I think i need a gun for starters, and probably a place to sleep in for a few days, got any suggestions...?"

The barkeep says,"Depends what you want to be and do". I mean you can do anything here. Even though I wouldn't like it, but the highest pay job here is none of them. If I wasn't running this bar I would be an Outlaw those guys know how to make the real money. If you want to buy a gun there's a gun shop right across from here." He hands you the whiskey. He says," You can be the bad guy, but you better pay for that whiskey. It's $10.00."

"Advising me to be an outlaw and forcing me to pay for the whiskey in the same time..? *Drinks* Oh If I weren't new here I'd say you didn't have your head anymore. But don't worry, I think we can get along just fine as long as I get more whiskey from ya when I come back *Rusty laughter*" I then leave the bar and head to the gun shop. (Oh and just to be clear, was the whiskey just a shot or perhaps a whiskey bottle, because if it was a bottle then i will keep drinking it while i walk and keep it in my hand, to use as a melee weapon if needed, for example.)

You leave the bar and the barkeeper says,"Goodbye". You head towards the gunshop and enter. When you walk in you see a man with one eye missing. He says,"What do you want?" in an angery voice.

The man says,"Let me check the back." He walks away and brings back a two rifles. He says," You can have a M1873 Western Rifle, or a M1866 Western Lever Action Rifle. The M1866 Western Lever Action Rifle has more accuracy, but the M1873 Western Rifle does more damage. Both cost $65.00 with a sack of ammo(45 bullets); it's about $70.00. Take your pick."

(I hate to be picky but if it's 1862, according to the first post, how are you selling guns from the future? Did you mean 1882?)

"I'll go with the M1873 one." I toss the 70$ on the counter and wait for the man to count it, and then leave the shop with the gun on my back, and head to the general store.
