Done.

Kashyyk, you wanna do something with those 5$ or we all ready to roll?

[Kashyyk]

((Unless I can upgrade to a Rev 1884, there's nothing worth doing))

"I'm calling you out Sheriff Westland. This town ain't big enough for the both of us. . ."

The voice echoed through the window of the sheriff's office, suddenly the only sound to be heard on the once-busy high street. A creak of wood and leather follows, as an old, tired man kicks his feet off the desk and comes to a stand. He takes up his jacket from the back of the chair, and carefully buttons it up. Four measured paces take him to the door. He picks up his old, stained-grey hat, and adjusts his badge, before gripping the door handle and pulling.

[Cue Soundtrack]

Wooden thuds turn to dusty crunch, as Flint Westland stepped out into the sun. "The last time someone told me that Mr Quade, he gave me twenty-four hours to disappear. I put him in the ground within twelve. I'd offer you the same courtesy, but I've grown impatient in my old age." Reaching the middle of the street, he turned and faced the other man.

"So either you draw now, or you turn around and just keep walking."

~~THE FINALE~~

Agua Fria, 189X

At one of the street - Flint Westland.

On the other, Aleister Quade.

The church bell announced it was high noon. Which one would be the master of the town until a young hotshot passes by to challenge the status quo?...

Flint Westland breathes his last!

Third bullet thundered through the town, and smashed into Flint Westland's chest!

Heaving and coughing blood, the gunslinger slips to the ground and a moment later, his soul escapes the bullet-riddled body on its journey into the afterlife.

Aleister Quade! That is the name of the new boss of the town of Agua Fria!!!


Congratulations, Unraveler!

[Kashyyk]

Congrats Unraveler! The very first kill was yours on me, and so it's only fitting that the last went the same way.

[Unraveller]

The crooked business man struggles, another bullet, another wound, another gravestone for the good men that stood against his profit driven master plans. To the oligarchs, to the water barons, to the entrepreneurs of every stripe, he'd be hailed a hero. Their games of capitalism, of consumerism, of exploitation were secured under the refined old man's belt.

But to the people of the town, that slate suited man was a demon, selling their souls off to his lord and master.

"Hoist him up. . ." Aleister growled, goons flooding out of the woodwork to do his dastardly bidding. "Let em all know." He adds, managed to force himself to stand even as he's gouting blood in the dusty street. "Let em all know who's town this is!" Despite his state, the old feller managed to roar, the spitting image of a wild beast he were, without a hint of remorse.

But he'll get his comeuppance one day. We all do. As we stand, we kneel before the Lord. And when that day comes, The Gun, Jack, Dylan, even Flint and all the souls that fell into this twister of blood will stand as his jury. . .


For its simple nature, this was an exceedingly fun game actually. And not just because luck seemed to be on my side. Haha. Thanks!

[Fluffe9911]

Yeah did enjoy the game hope and another one of these is done in the future. (although Dylan really lived up to the nickname by surviving to third place simply by not being picked once lol)

[Tomasque]

I really liked this game. Thanks for running it, Haspen!

I'm mulling an idea of turning this into some sort of mini-RPG, we will see where this system goes.

[EuchreJack]

This ending seems fitting.  The final showdown between the Honest Sheriff and the Family Boss.  And like real life, it doesn't always favor the true and righteous.
I watched enough Gunsmoke to know that most Sheriffs ain't Marshal Dillon (ergo, the MARSHAL part).

[Egan_BW]

Where I'd take this would be to let people set up gangs, have fights between groups, area control of different districts. Pistol duels may make for an interesting anecdote, but history is made at the muzzle of a rifle.

[Haspen]

That was my earlier idea, too. I will tinker with this for sure.
