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 do as you said. You hear someone walk in you aim your gun, but he screams," Don't shoot. It's me Campbell!" You lower your gun. You see that he has a shotgun of his own. Then you tell him to get into postition. You both wait a hour, then you suddently hear some footsteps. You turn towards the door and you see the Sheriff walk in and shoot at you. Then three more men walk in with different weapons. Two of them have pistols and one has a rifle. The Sheriff has a pistol also. What do you do?

PLEASE READ!

Sorry guys about the delay, but my family and I both wanted to stay for a little while longer. I was hoping to get home early yesterday, but my plane got delayed. Sorry again.

She says," I was walking along the road, gathering some herbs. When out of nowhere two men on horses came charging up to me." She catches her breath. Then she says," They followed me here and-" she gets cut off by some men on horses shouting," Get over here!" They both aim thier pistols and fire at you, both missing. What do you do?

I equip the axe, and go with the plan I mentioned (go to the doctor, taking that guy with me, so that I can have my wound treated).
Also, where should the water shipment (or other quest items) be noted?

Oh, no problem about the delay. It's all fine with me as long as you're not abandoning this altogether.

You arrive at the doctor. You ask him," Can you please treat my wound?" The doctor replies,"Well of course, that's why I'm here". After an hour of treating the wound, he says," Ok, you should be fine, although I suggest you rest up and eat something before you do something like that again. That will be $40.00."

You have to give the Water Shipment to the guy who asked you to go kill those guys anyway. If you don't remember who to give it to go look back at earlier posts.

* If your Stamina gets below 45% you will passout, and then anything can happen to you. Same goes for Hunger and Health.
Ex:
Some of your items can be stolen. Loose Items.
Some kids could kick you while your passed out. Lowers Health.
Throw up from being light headed. Lowers Hunger.

These are just examples, but they could happen and more.

You run over to the alleyway, but she trips and falls before you can get there. One of the horse men starts shooting at you, while the other lassos her! One of the bullets the horse man shot hit you in the foot*. What do you do?

* This wound will take down 2% per post, so be cautious!
