You dig." - The man with no name[/h3][/center] [hr][hr] [center]Howdy there, you fine ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Wild West. The place where fortunes could be found and made, where every man could be king of his own little speck of land and where a new life could be made. The place where all of this could and would be torn assunder by lawless bandits, the unforgivables ruthlesness of the land and ravaging Indians looking to take your scalp (if the stories are to be believed that is). Welcome to the time and place where history is made every day, alongside the newly lain tracks of railroads and deep in the valleys of the prairie! In saloons of dubious towns and at the other side of a fragile national border. Oh yes, the Wild West is truly a magnifecent place to be, isn't it? The time is 1880-ish (up for debate later), and the West is there to won by those who dare. Your first destination is the small town of Haylliesburg, Arizona, for whatever reasons they now might be. Need a place to rest before you venture further West? It has a small hotel, it's nice enough and the cockroaches have all been evicted. Looking to settle down? There's still plenty of land out there for the taking, if you have the guts and guns to claim it. Need a job? There's always need for someone with a strong back and low expectations. Or are you just in need of something to drown your thirst and...other needs? The saloon is open for everyone, as long as you can pay of course. Then again, you could be there for the very large amount of money that's passing through by train in a few days. The Army sure isn't protecting that gold, so why shouldn't you give it a try? I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Anyway Stranger, welcome to Haylliesburg. Welcome to the Wild West, enjoy your stay and don't get shot in the back. [/center] [hr][hr] Hello to all of you roleplayers out there, it's been a while since I made an Interesting Check of my own. But it felt right to do it now. Anyhow, seen as I've finally watched the 'Man with no name'-trilogy and that there's a severe lack of Wild West-RPs on the Guild, I decided to give it a shot [s]with my revover[/s]. The goal of this roleplay and its story will at first revolve around said town and said gold; I imagine you can either be there as a goodie two-shoes, trying to keep those very mean looking men (and/or women) from stealing what rightfully belongs to the US Treasury. Or you can be a man of your own, following your own rules and not letting a few armed thugs stand in your way between that precious gold and you. But as the story goes on, I want to create a dynamic story with those who join (and sticks around) about what this band of people or two gets themselves tangled up in. I don't think I have anything else to add, at least not as of now. As I'm writing this, it is already way too late for me who needs to get up early to study, so you sharp-eyed and quick-witted fellows out there might see something I've missed or completely messed up. Anyhow, I might add a Character Sheet to this post as well, to see what kind of character concepts you cowboys might come up with. I hope to see YOU, saddled on your horse and ready to blow up some tracks or stop it from happening. Welcome to the Wild West, When revolvers ruled the West! [hr][hr] [h2][center][color=a0410d]Rules[/color][/center][/h2] I'm not a big advocate for long lists of rules, as I believe that common sense and curtesy should be enough. But I think I'll make an exception with this one; [list][*]GM is God, High Judge, The Leader, your mother and the list goes on. My word is final. [*]The OOC should be used for discussions on how the Rp goes, where we want it to go or any complaints that may arise. If such happens, it will proceed calmly and constructively. If in doubt, refer to rule #1. [*]Don't be an asshole. [*]Life can get in the way sometimes, which is understandable. But if possible, give a heads-up in the OOC or by PM if you're going to be away for more than a few days. That is something that you have time for, don't argue. [*]Blood and gore will appear. Get your guns ready, you'll need them. [*]PG-13 will fade to black. I will not tolerate it, especially with Mahz (Praise be onto Him) in charge. [*]If you have read the rules and agree to them, add a link to a post you've made in the Extra-part of the character sheet to let me know. Preferably something In Character. [*]This is the 1880's, the world will [s]mostly[/s] react in an approriate way in regards to race, relgion, politics and guns. Always guns. [*]If in doubt, refer back to rule #1. [*]If you have questions, don't be afraid to PM me or ask in the OOC. I'm quite nice actually :) [*]This is a casual to low-advanced roleplay, and I will demand that you write accordingly. One-liners, out. Writing in first-person, out. Not following the narrative, out. You get the point. [*]Even though this is a Spagetthi Western, I won't allow every single one of you to be all "Clint Eastwood-badassery" all the time. It will certainly happen, but within reasonable limits. [*]No more rules for now, but they will be added if needed. [/list] [hr][hr] [h2][center][color=a0410d]Character sheet[/color][/center][/h2] Not much to say here except what's already been said; create a character fit for the Wild West, don't create someone next to a god, keep in mind the world of the 1880's, and ask questions if anything is unclear.
