Thank you Tetris for the logo.

What was the Old West?

The American Old West, or the Wild West, comprises the history, geography, people, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the Western United States, most often referring to the latter half of the 19th century, between the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the end of the century. After the 18th century and the push beyond the Appalachian Mountains, the term is generally applied to anywhere west of the Mississippi River in earlier periods and westward from the frontier strip toward the later part of the 19th century. Thus, the Midwest and American South, though not considered part of the Western United States today, have Western heritage along with the modern western states. More broadly, the period stretches from the early 19th century to the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920. Wikipedia.

Remember, we're in the mid-late 1800s - E.G. "I find a machine gun and pick it up!"
Do not go out of the 'map' if you will. - (Please refer to the states that we will be playing in)

I sit on my horse and observe the horizon of sandy hills and desert. I shake my head, "Jus' like M�xico." I say gently patting my horse with he spurs on my boot. I take out the apple and munch on it, riding into New Mexico.

New logo, thanks Tetris.

I drink a whiskey as I lay in my scattered bed in the outskirts of Shiprock. My friend, James Jess, hands me a map of the surrounding area. Shiprock has a big bank just near us. Jess, me, and my other friend Paul Lemark load our guns.

I sit in a tavern in Albuquerque. I take a quick chug of some whiskey, and decide to gamble a bit. Never a good combination, but after what ive been through, it feels great.

Mikoyan · May 22, 2012, 09:51:27 PM

"mant�ngalo..." I whisper to my horse pulling the reins back. I tie the horse up to a post and walk into a tavern. Music stops, conversations stop and everyone looks at me. "Hola, como estas..." I say. agh, I've screwed up again. "How are you?" they all get back to what they're doing. I stop at the bar and order a drink.

The bartender comes back with a shot glass. I look at him with a confused face. "The whole bottle's one dollar..." he says in a tired ruffled voice. I give him the last of my money and sip the bottle. I walk around and ask people if they need protection in my best English.

I send out flyers to be posted around the town.

Frank posts the remaining wanted signs all over town, the right way.
