It is 1862 and you have arrived in Dallas, Texas. You just couldnât stand New England and its big crowded cities and bitter cold winters. Sometimes you didnât even have enough money and food to keep going on. One day you decided to sell your store and move to the Old West to make something of yourself. You didnât know what; you just wanted to be something. When you finally got to Dallas it finally hit you! You said,â Forget being a store keeper, I want to fight!â Which means to you that you could be one of two things an Outlaw or a Sheriff, but first you would have to prove it to the people. Would you be the Sheriff protecting the citizens, cleaning the streets of evil, or would you be the Outlaw striking fear and hate into the people? It all begins here. All you brought with you is what you packed and that is $200.00 dollars, the clothes youâre wearing, and a Map of Texas.

Reputation is very simple; basically if you want to be a Sheriff you need your Rep to have a positive Rep. If you want to be an Outlaw you want your Rep to be negative. You can raise it or lower it by doing certain good/bad deeds. There is also going to be a neutral deed sometimes. The neutral deed gives you neither positive/negative Rep. You can change from being an Outlaw to a Sheriff or a Sheriff to an Outlaw at anytime by lowering/raising your Reputation.
* You will have to overcome your bad trait and then you can change it to a good trait.

You arrive at the Sheriff's Office and walk inside. Once you are inside you see the Sheriff and a man wearing a bandana with a cowboy hat covering his face. The man gives the Sheriff some money and then while he is walking out looks at you, then keeps walking. You notice he has a scar on his lip, but that's all. The Sheriff says," Do you need something, sir?"

You gained 2 Rep!
You gained a Squad Member!
He says," My name is Charlie "One Shot" Trimmer. If you aim for the man holding the hostage, you will be able to free the hostage and I will aim for the other thug, but you will need to be patient and wait for the perfect time to shoot. Can you do that?
