Please post a message saying which team you wana be on and then its upto you to start it all off. enjoy ppl. I will start hiring people as part of the towns governing body. (How fun will this be.)

[Patriot1776]

I'll be Sam Colton an honorable outlaw. (An old score to settle against the railroad companies.)

[Patriot1776]

Since no one is rushing in I'll start. Maybe this will give you character ideas.

Montana, 1864

Theodore Colton rode up to his ranch home. He had just been selling a load of milk in the nearby town and was ready for a good drink. He jumped off his horse and walked up to the door. A loud grunt made him turnaround.
Standing next to a large black stallion was Howard Magruder, the owner of the Union Cross Railroad and Stagecoach Co. He was a plump man with a mustache that stretched to his lower cheeks. He was wearing a black suit and a black bouler hat. On his hip was a large six-shooter.
Magruder had been after Thoedore's ranch for years. It looked like this time he meant business. Theodore stepped forward, "The answer is the same as always. Now get off this land before I report you to the authorities."
"Now hold on one minute there. Don't you remember our little poker game last month."
Theodore could remember bits and pieces. Last month he took a steamboat down to Empire, New Mexico where he ran into Magruder. He had gotten himself more than a little drunk and challenged Magruder to a poker game.
"You know that game was just for fun."
"That's not what the town marshal seemed to think." Magruder held up a deed to the ranch. Magruder sneered, "You best be getting along before I report YOU to the authorities."
"You ain't ever going to get this land you dirty scum-bag!"
"I'm s0orry you feel that way Theodore."
Magruder grapped his pistol and in the blink of an eye fired a Star of David pattern into Theodore. Then a group of hired bounty hunters rode up behind Magruder. "What do you want boss?"
"Travel this entire area, kill every little thing and set fire to these buildings."
"Right away."
Sam Colton returned just as Magruder and his men were leaving. He had been off on an unofficial hunting trip against his father's orders and avoided his family's brutal execution. He looked upon the massacre that remained. Everything had been killed and even the family home was burning.
He approached his father's body. His father was on his last breath. He slowly opened his eyes and looked upon Sam. "My..my son, go inside and grab my two six-shooters, my tomahawk, and my rifle." Theodore had fought in the Civil War and never bothered to return his weapons. "Father, who did this?"
"Magruder."
"You mean?"
"Yes, the ranch is his."
"But.."
"Hurry! There isn't much time! Go get my weapons!" Then his father died.
Sam grabbed a rotting pole that had fallen off the house and used it to smash down the door. The entire bottem floor was ablaze, but there was still an opening that led to the stairway. He quickly rushed up and went to his father's room. He moved to a small oak chest in the corner. He opened it and grabbed the six-shooters, the rifle, and the tomahawk. There was a loud crash as the hallway ceiling caved in. The hallway was blocked off. The only was out was the window. "Lord, I know I haven't exactly been the best of followers, but could you please forget all that this one time?" He rushed forward and hurtled himself out the window.
A few hours later he awoke. He stood up and looked upon the wreckage that was his home. He heard the pounding of hoofs behinds him. Magruder's coming! He ducked behind the charred remains of a barrel. A brown horse approached out from the haze of smoke. It was Samson, the family horse! Sam ran up and jumped onto Samson, there was notheing left now.

Life in the wild taught Sam the art of shooting, hunting, and tomahawk throwing, but most of all it taught him how to fight. After about a year of living alone he killed the White Grizzly using only his tomahawk. This earned him great respect among the native tribes who feared this creature. After about 16 years he decided to head back to civilization. It was time to avenge his family's death.

Dodge City, Nevada, 1880

"So you're headin' to Dodge are ye. Well I better warn ye that you won't be able to leave the city for awhile. Those dang Apaches have got the entire territory shakin in their boots. Not even the railroads are runnin anymore!"
Sam would be enjoying this trip a lot better if he didn't have to ride with this ferry driver. The driver had the wheel in one hand and a whiskey bottle in the other. At his side was a cheap pistol, but he was probably too drunk to fire straight. His clothes were tattered and old.
Sam on the other hand was wearing deer-skin decorated with falcon feathers. Aroung his neck he was wearing a necklace of wolf's teeth. On his head he wore the traditional rancher's hat. On top of Samson was a large sack containing animal skins. He planned to sell them in Dodge.
"So how are the gold shipments coming in?"
"Why they're carryin them in by stagecoach. It takes five times as long as trains and they are more open to attack, but it seems like more people are willin to do that job than engineerin. Supposedly these stage coaches carry them new fangled gattlin guns. I hear they chew through Injuns like whores through money."
They finally reached the dock. Sam eagerly hopped onto Samson. He was more than willing to leave this drunk behind. "Hold-up there fella! You could use one a these." He tossed a blue coin to Sam. "Take that to the Ponderosa Saloon and ask for Anastasia. I found the coin a month ago in the Pawnee territory. The man's head was ripped clean off. Ho won't be a usin that anytime soon. I would use it myself, but this town is dangerous. These Apache attacks are takin up the Sheriff's time, and the Red Blade gang has taken over. I would keep those weapons handy if I wer yew."
Sam thanked him and rode off. The coin was nothing special, just a cheap piece of plastic, but a saloon would sure be a good place to begin his life in civilization.
He walked into the Ponderosa and sat down at the bar. "What could I get for ya?"
Sam slammed the coin down on the table. "I'm lookin for Anastasia."

[Mikhael]

ill be

Mikhail Reskovski a russian whose family has emigrated from russia , and ill be a out law as Sam Colton who he meets in the bar and leads him to Anastasia as he has a score to settle with Magruder

[Boy_Wonder06]

I'll be erm, Chief Reed of the Sheriff dept (im a good guy not bad lol)

[Patriot1776]

Since things are slow I'll just continue. You two can jump in when you want. The same goes for anyone else.

The bartender looked at the coin for a minute. "Just wait right there while I get you a drink." He reached down under the counter. Sam turned around to look at the saloon. It was nothing special, just a bunch of gaming tables, drunks, and prostitutes. He turned around when he hard a click.
He found himself looking down the barrel of a six-shooter. Behind it was the bartenders yellow-toothed smile. "You just got yerself into a whole barrel of shit son."
"What are the charges sir?"
"We don't just hand out these coins. The last man that received one left for the cavalry a year ago. I'm takin' you in on the charges of banditry."
"This is some..."
"Just shut-up before I bring the sheriff in"
In the blink of an eye same grabbed his gun and fired two shots into the bartender. The bartender now lay dead on the floor. "The sheriff's comin'" someone shouted.
Sam turned to the crowd. "Now which one a ya would be kind enough to lead me to Anastasia?"

[Boy_Wonder06]

'riding towards the saloon back up with 5 of the sheriff dept's best men. After scouting the area a near by citizen informed Cheif Reed (myself) of the circumstances in the saloon, word was sent for a doctor and Chief Reed dis mounted his also and entered the saloon, a shot as fired at 'Same' and he dropped toe the floor, He was then surrounded and charges were amde against him.'

[Patriot1776]

Living in the wild had taught Sam the art of playing dead. The Sheriff went to talk to the docter and left one of the deputies in charge. Sam opened his eyes and crouched onto his knees. He took out his scalping knife and lunged at the deputy. The deputy fell to the floor with a gaping hole in his throat. Sam then lunged out of the front window and landed on his horse. He quickly rode out of town with the Sheriff in close pursuit.

[Boy_Wonder06]

The dr arrives soon after the sheriffs departure, the young deputy is treated and the bartender is pronounced dead. The sheriff and one of his deputys are close on the trail of Sam. Word of the attack had been sent and backup from the near by town of Rencliff had been sent, so Sam didnt have much of a chance, Chief Reed coming from behind Sam and the team from Ren cliff straight towards Sam... What happens next no one knows. Suddenly Both the sheriffs teams and Sam are surrounded by outlaw bandits!!!

[Patriot1776]

"Sheriff why don't you actually enforce the law for one?" Sam walked over to the bandit leader. "We have nothing of value, why don't you move along."
"I reckon that you must have something worth goin after."
"Fine! Take this token for the Ponderosa!"
The leader took the token and led the rest of his gang off. Sam turned to the Sheriff. "If you don't do something soon they will overrun the entire town."
"How can I enforce the Red Blade gang with varmints like you around."
"You'll think of something." Sam then rode off. He turned around, the Sheriff was in close pursuit. Nearby was a mountain, a terrain he knew well. It was time to finish this showdown.

[Boy_Wonder06]

Cheif Reed Immedialy stopped the persuit of Sam and reutrned with his men, a town meeting was held, where majoy desisions were made. Over 50 men joined the sheriffs dept of Dodge City that afternoon, and along with that 100 builders from near by towns had coem to the city to help fortify it, Stone walls were put up and big stone gates were made to able acess in and out of the city. The walls and gates had been made stronger than anything seen before. The train lines was secured and where the train entered the town from over the bridge to where it exited was sealed of with gates, trains would only be able to pass through when theyd been secured by the sheriffs team, if they had any problem the train would not be allowed to pass. There were many more suprises for any possible atackers no matter how great or small.

[Boy_Wonder06]

Alert Alert!!!!!! The town bell begins to ring, bandits have cut the wires to a train and its now heading straight for Dodge City....

[Mikhael]

leaning out the side of the train Mikhail takes a shot , the gun he used was a homemade invention of a long but incredibley acurat shotgun with a telescope straped on it . taking aim at the sheriff he pulled the trigger but at the exact 500th of a millisecond the caridge he was in chandged tracks and he missed striking the deputy in the neck mising the sherrif by a finger breath . all this time the train got nearer and nearer to the city

[Patriot1776]

Sam was watching from a small hill. He leaped onto the moving train and quickly walked up behind Mikhail. "If I were you I would stop right now!"
"What are you gonna do about it?"
"You don't wanna know!"
The two stared at each other, waiting for someone to make a move.

[Mikhael]

they start pacing round in a circle always 15 foot away from each other

" And u are ??? "

[Patriot1776]

"My name dosn't much matter. You;re not gonna need it where you are goin"

[Mikhael]

" looking around at his suroundings he notices above sam a large light which is about to snap . with in two thirds of a second He had whipped his gun a up without taking much of an aim fired . the large light fell un top of sam knocking both guns out of his hands

" now lets talk "

p.s

add both u guys to my buddie list :D

[Patriot1776]

Sam postioned himself to where his rifle was in reach. Mikhail turned around and Sam threw the light to the side and shot the gun out of Mikhail hand. "We have two choices. We could keep fighting and most likely kill each other. Or we could work together. You are really in no position to fight back, so I recommend that yoiu listen to my proposal. We seem to have a common enemy in Reed."

[Mikhael]

hhmmm... as long as u help me i have some revnge i have to take care of i am looking for revenge a person called Aajhfh ( i forgot his name ) can u take me too him ???

[Patriot1776]

Sam was amazed. "Do you mean Howard Magruder, the local railroad and mining baron!?"

[Mikhael]

" yes him do u no him (:D) ?? i have made an oath to kill his brother over my families grave "

[Boy_Wonder06]

meanwhile the apparently dead sheriff had mounted his new and secret plan into progress, the newly built fortified walls and look at posts suddenly had metal rshot reflectors on them and along the fortified walls, all that could be seen was th sky behind them until and almighty high pitched whistle sounded and the walls suddenly became majorly guarded with sheriff tropps, the new secret idea had been a secret service team, 4 shots were fired at the train, they were not ordinary shots but grenade type shots/ dynamite, the grounded shook and shook and cracked like mad, a huge ditch had been blown up causing the train to lose control and lunge into the hole. the sheriff walked down the steps and stood with his guards and walked back to his office until further notice nothing was to happen

[Boy_Wonder06]

Conversation between scout and Sheriff Dan:

Scout: Sheriff, sheriff i have urgent news
S.Dan: Quiet boy, cna't you see im busy, i have troops to prepare
Scout: Sheriff, Lt Dan has gone!
S.Dan: well he is free to come and go as he pleases, as long as he does his job
Scout: sheriff, he wont be able to do his job for much longer...
S.Dan: what are you going on about boy
Scout: Lt. Dan was injured, and was picked up by an outlaw called Shane, the last new i hears was that they had just reached Tamdon, and i've spotted a group of Bandits in that area.
S.Dan: are you sure?
Scout: Yes sir, i am sure
S.Dan: Ring the bell!!!! i want all the troops assembles, the town must go on lock down while me and the troops go the the aid of Tamdon.

(details) Tamdon, is a little town about 4 hours ride from Sheriff Dans current location in the big city. Tamdon has a small voluntary sheriffs department, but has no where near enough to deal with a pre arranged bandit attack. Tamdon is on the way to Alkaan (the big big city), but is Alkaan is atleasy 5 days ride from Tamdon.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

[blazeteendanny]

"umm hello...where am i...who am i....who are you...why does my head hurt..." Lt Dan said to Shane
