Welcome to the Wild West RPG. Set in 1868, just recently after the end of the American Civil War, you can do just about anything you want to. Play as anything or anyone from that timeset, really. From outlaws to sheriffs to gamblers to pioneers to merchants to immigrants to politicians...well, you get the idea.
OK, now because this RPG is going to give its players so many freedoms, it is going to be a little different from the others.

This is a very flexible RPG. Because it does not have a lot of storyline or character interaction, it does not require for its players to have a strict attendance, however it will be very complicated and you need to be imaginitive; remember, you have a lot of liberties in this game that you wouldn't in most others. In this way, it is very different from my other RPGs. However, I think that this will be very fun; just life in the Old West, yanno? Anyways, so.... Let it begin.

You are searching for rebels or fugitives. The scrape of boot against snow, not yours, alerts you to an alien presence. Suddenly, there is the crack of a gunshot and a bullet whizzes by, just missing your cheek. Then, the shooter gets up and runs away; they were wearing white camouflage, so they were hard to see against the snow. They're getting away, but you notice that in their rush, they've left their pistol, the very gun that shot at you just before, behind. What will you do?

You hail them to see where they're headed. Suddenly, before they notice you, you see a slight splatter of blood on the side of the caravan, and the tip of a rifle protruding out. They're bandits! What will you do?

Sure...but you realize that guns are in use now, right? Bows and arrows are a bit...outdated by this time. You sure you don't want to change your skill?

You wrap your City Watch Patrol armband around your wound; it staunches the bleeding, but the insignia and the pure white armband are soon unrecognizable as City Watch Patrol, thus, you have no real symbol of your authority. You limp to the city from cover to cover, exhausted. Finally, you see a caravan approaching down the road when you're about halfway there. What will you do?
Yes Mario, you can join. Dang, I might have to put a limit on this after all.

I thought you said you had a gin, as in an alcoholic drink. Lol. Anyway, you grab the pistol; it's heavier and more powerful than you expected. "Mush be foreen," you mutter to yourself "Beet a demn gud gin." When you straighten, the fugitive has disappeared. He could've outrun you or he could be hiding, using his white clothes as camouflage. What will you do?

You see a small rabbit dashing past. He'd be a tasty mutton stew, but it seems a waste of shot to kill something with so little meat.
