“Mr. Mayor, if its all right with you we are going to hang this cocksucker,” declared town sheriff Seth Bullock, not that he cared what the mayor said. People grew increasingly concerned about Reverend Smith. Each day seemed to take him deeper into his dementia. Yesterday he was seen preaching a sermon to an ox in the main thoroughfare, and the day before he was playing piano for some of the town whores. Doc Cochran diagnosed him with a brain tumor but people just wouldn’t listen. Folks thought maybe it’s an act; maybe he’s secretly gathering info for the Hearst mining concerns in town. Either way the town decided the best thing to do was hang him and send him to his God. Reverend Smith (Priest) was hung until he was dead, dead, dead.
This begins Night 1. To begin the night I’ll explain the Gold you all have. Below is a list of goods and services you may purchase. Some are intentionally left vague others are rather specific. If there are questions I will either answer them or say ‘no answer’.
Shot of whiskey - 1G: 15% chance of overhearing a conversation. Not cumulative.
Trick - 5G: A nighttime visit
Pickaxe – 6G: 40% chance of finding gold each night
Map – 15G: 32% chance of finding gold each night (can be used in conjunction w/ pick or pan)
Gold Pan – 3G: 20% chance of finding gold each night
New Hat – 25G: 1-shot ability
Card Game – 1G (each game): Chance to play against others who enter (random winner). May play as many games as you wish as long as there are other players, IE wager 3 (3 games) and you will play against others who enter 3 games. All unplayed Gold will be returned.
Message by wire – 20G: Send a message by telegraph (will be done through me and can’t contain user names only character). Be aware that the telegraph operator will read them too but will not reveal anything.
Charitable Donation - ?G: Blessing conferred upon you.
Side of Bacon & coffee – 1G: Breakfast of champions
Package Delivery - ?G: What’s in the package, up to you. Price will be decided by me when I know what is being sent.
Services can be bought/bribed as well. You can offer the Doc say 5G to protect you for the night and it will be up to the Doc to accept, or offer the Cop 10G to investigate someone. Be creative, spend how you wish. Be warned though if it feels like cheating I won’t allow it and I have final say.
Some of you have wages (received in the morning), some of you earn Gold through services rendered or items purchased. Wages and prices can fluctuate depending on the market and game progression.
