The year is 1910.
An outbreak of a plague has mutated into a zombie epidemic! You must take to arms, defend and purge the town! Or, take the bandit route and pillage, rob and murder your way to a settlement!
Just along the rail road is roumered to be a free build area, but land comes at an expensive price in the safe zone!

A Western RPG:

Contracts to kill outlaws.

Treasure hunts.

Survival involving encounters with wild animals such as coyotes and snakes.

Modifying the horse script to have it have more abilities.

Exploration and assignments from locals.

So many things.

one word "bandits"
You get a reward for killing bandits, you fight bandits, you capture bandits. you become a bandit and attack the town. Now lets change the word bandit to zombie
You get a reward for killing zombies, you fight zombies, you capture zombies. you become a zombie and attack the town.
Nothing more than a changing how the bots look and the fact they can hold weapons. The infection aspect will have to be destroyed and replaced with if you go to far into the negatives currency wise you become a bandit. What would make you go into the negatives is that weapons and health from the saloon cost the money you get for fighting bandits. But death takes away money along with not paying for items will send you down.

You've obviously never tried an actual Western Rp on Blockland.

There is a surprisingly large amount of roleplay possible, with just a few amenities within a town.
People pretending to be travelers, who may be bandits hiding from the law, or snake-oil conmen, or preachers or thieves.
Then the interaction between many other local characters, like rough cowboys starting fights amongst local citizens in the Taverns.
Or dueling families, with Noon gun-downs in the centre of town.

Have a Sheriff's office, and give a few people rights as deputies or officers, to attempt to maintain order.
This brings in the chance for criminal activities, or posse's being formed in hunt of criminals, or for cases of bribery.
What's also nice with a Sheriff is that you can institute an Admin in as the position, who can act as an administrator of the server in a roleplay manner.
Someone causing hastle among other players? Sheriff arrests them and sends them to prison (Ban).
This also allows for easy administration in concern to those who can't roleplay well, such as those who just shoot everyone. Got a murderer like that, arrest and execute (ban).


I would highly recommend you were to try a proper Western Roleplay, before jumping straight to a cliche Zombie Infestation.
Not to mention, you'll get a lot of criticism on it being just an unoriginal copy of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, which it's fairly obvious that you have taken atleast some considerable inspiration from that, judging just from the title, let alone the theme.

Vanilla Westerns can be so much fun, and even with lower-quality builds you can really get a great atmosphere generated and maintain a fun and intelligent community. Don't underestimate the imaginations of the players of Blockland.
I've hosted enough roleplays on various themes to know that someone will always surprise you, and you never get the same experience twice. Even if your build is little more than a box.

All that aside, I wish you a lot of luck with this.
I know your clan has put a fair amount of work into this build, and I'd like to come by and see the finished project at some time.

Hopefully people enjoy it and the work pays off. I just hope your adminstrative team are capable of maintaining a fair and fun roleplay server.
