This RP will take place in the American West, sometime after the American Civil War. It starts in Bowman's Ridge, a remote gold rush town. A local bounty hunter has captured a gang leader worth a lot of money (as long as they're alive), but that bounty hunter was injured pretty badly and now seeks respite at Bowman's Ridge. He suggests a posse be formed that can continue transporting his prisoner to the city, where he can be tried; the hefty bounty on his head will be equally split among the posse.
Here's the catch: one of you is part of that prisoner's gang, who just happened to be at Bowman's Ridge at the time, but your identity will remain a secret. Your goal is to free your gang leader, so you decide to join this posse and wait for the right time to strike. You can't free him outright cause the others will gun you down, so you need to kill everyone discreetly first.
As you might expect, there's going to be some problems along the way. The Gang Member has access to some deadly items, like poison, and can venture out at night to set up traps to injure or even kill other players in a way that the others won't suspect it is one of them. However, at ANY time any player can shoot whoever they want to. Doing this will result in a Shootout Event; During a Shootout Event, we will perceive time more slowly, and everyone takes turns during this moment, in which you may shoot 1 bullet per turn to kill whoever you want; sounds confusing? I will explain it more in-depth if it ever happens, cause I doubt it will.
Now, during the journey I want to encourage dialogue between players. Your bio will not include any history of personality, so I want you guys to talk to each other on the trip, slowly revealing more and more about your person with each passing day (don't reveal your whole backstory on the first day). You will all be unknown to each other at first, but will begin to learn about one another through the course of the RP. But remember, somebody might be lying!
