Default Ye Olde West II - The GOLD rush - Game Underway.

Ye Olde West II – The GOLD rush.
A time of outlaws running around killing just to up the bounty on their heads for the fame. A time of bandits robbing banks and stagecoaches to make way with the loot. A time where honest citizens, cowboys, and farmers initiated there own brand of justice when the Marshall wasn't around....get a rope, the mob wants a hanging, and it's not for salsa made in NYC.

Outlaws
Spoiler

Bandits
Spoiler

Townsfolk
Spoiler

Townspeople can transfer money via PM to the narrators. If the outlaws kill or bandits steal from a person exchanging money at night, the transfer fails (as if it never happened). A person may transfer any amount at anytime. When you transfer money, your name will be given to the person you transfer to. Both will receive the PM. example: Supagoof gives 5 coins to Raldor.

Everyone starts with gold coins (via PM from narrator). Outlaws and Bandits are to be hung for killing or stealing. When number of Bandits and Outlaws = 0, Town wins. Anytime someone dies, the money they are holding is lost to the auction house, be they townsperson, banker (their money, not the stuff they are protecting), bandit, or outlaw.

NEW!
The Desert! Each day, you can choose to go search the desert for lost loot. The desert grid will have loot from killed persons placed at random amongst it. Each day you can publicly post which square of the desert you want to search. First one to search the area shall receive what loot lies in it. The number of areas in the desert is determined by number of players at start of game.
Spoiler


Trading Post! A small store in which you can spend your money on useful items. Things like maps to find where stuff is buried, bullets for your pistols to kill anyone who sneaks into your house, a detective kit to figure out someone’s role, and others to be placed into the store. To purchase an item simply PM a narrator. Prices subject to change daily upon availability of items. Money spent at the store is buried by store-keeper in the desert for next days searches. Items in store may not be traded.
Spoiler


Auction House! Every time someone is killed, their stuff goes up for sale at the auction house. Players can bid on the items publicly to obtain what the person had – including money and stuff bought at store. Highest bidder wins the auction (and possibly suspicion....). You can bid more then you have, but know that you will only win if the amount you have and commit is higher then the amount someone else has and commits. Auctions end and day’s end and money used in bidding goes into the desert.

Days to last 48 hours. Nights to last 24 hours.

I'll post the starting number of total coins at the beginning of the game, for those who want to keep track. - For Everyone to Know - Starting coins in the game = 250 gold coins.

Game to begin on September 4th.

Players - 9 Alive / 37 Total

I join, but I can't get the spoilers open. Hopefully they'll fix themselves now that I've said this.

Edit- No, still won't work.

Bandits steal gold from one person nightly. The win when they have 85% of the towns gold.....which will be given at the begining of the game.

((Still figuring out a few details on who starts with how much...Indurain better respond to my PM or I'll have Atreyu kick him on my behalf. ))

And so those who have played before know, same objective as last time, slightly different rules should make for no bandit dominance or bandit disadvantage.

lol - Shadow. yeah, that was unfortunate. Hopefully my method of picking this time will lead to a more vague selection by each team. In other words, expect the narrators to be extremely deceptive.

It sounds fantastic, I'm definitely in. Two things though:

1) Dessert is something you eat after your main course. Also known as pudding. I think you mean "desert".
2) I can't open the spoilers for the roles. It may be a problem at my end. Anyone else having problems?
