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.

I thank the doctor and go get some sleep at the nearest place I can find (if I have time before passing out, I also complete the quest beforehand by going to that store and returning the shipment).
Also, did I get that guy to the doctor as well? I've even forgotten why I took him with me in the first place... if bringing him along would make things too complicated/ would be too much trouble without serious casue, we might as well forget all about him, if you agree, that is.

You attempt to do what you said, although in the process you get shot in the shoulder*. Even though you got shot you still manage to hit one of the guys in the hand. The good news is you hit them in the hand they were holding there pistol in. Since he can't use his hand he has to use the other hand which he will always miss.

* This wound will drop you 4% each post. In total it's 6% each post.

You aim for the one with the rifle and fire quickly. One guy sees you and tells the guy to hit the floor. He wasn't fast enough, so he got hit with the bullet in the arm. The other two and the Sheriff find cover and start shooting at you and Campbell. Campbell shoots at one of the men with a pistol and hits the. Taking off the mans arm. The man drops his gun and falls on the ground bleeding and screaming.

You gained 20 Rep!

You walk out of the doctors house and then head to the Genral store. The man asks," What happened?" You say," I got the Water Shipment." He thanks you and gives you $30.00 dollars. He also says," That you should ask the Sheriff if he is wanted and you might get a reward."

If you want to give him to the Sheriff for some money, or we could just forget about him.

PLEASE READ!

For each Outlaw you bring into the Sheriff you will get a reward and some Rep!

You start shooting at the Outlaws, until you run out of bullets. While you are shooting you see Campbell go up to take a shot, when he gets hit in the liver. He drops down on the ground, but he his still moving. What do you do?

You take aim at the rider that is tying up the lady. You take two shots at the man. One of the shots hit him in the shoulder, then he turns to look at it and the other shot hits him in the head. He falls down, dead. What do you do next?

You gained 10 Rep!

You quickly run behind the barrels and reload. Then you jump out and fire the three shots. One misses, the second hits him in the liver, and the last shot hits him in the forehead. They are all dead. Now you should untie that lady.

You take him over to the Sheriff. He says," Thanks." Then gives you $50.00. You go to the Inn and see a man at the counter. What do you do?

You untie the lady and drink the bottle of whiskey. The lady says," Thankyou!" Then she gives you $75.00. You could:

A) You could refuse the money and give it back. Positive Rep

B) Take the money and say thankyou. None

C) Threaten her for more money. Negative Rep

I choose A: give back the money.
I drag the bodies to the Sheriff's office to see if there's a reward on either of them and eat a piece of pork on the way.
