The year is 1893, the small town of Gluben had struck gold two years earlier, and has since grown ten fold in population; Prospecters from up east, west, north and south have flocked to the town, wealthy 'dudes' from New York have made investments on the inflow and outflow of gold bars, and Pinkertons have set up shop working for whoever can afford their protective services. Even wealthy men from overseas have migrated to the town of Gluben, looking forward to getting their claims before the native borns get a fair share.
The town itself has even experienced a major re-vamping in the industries, once run on the bottom of the barrel in cattle trade and logging, Gluben has cut down half its forest and expanded so fast that the buildings all smell of fresh cut cedar and pine.
But, with the wealthy gold seekers came with their workers, rowdy miners and attention seeking womanizers looking for saloon ladies to spend time with, by heart, pay or force.
The local ranchers have even been altered by the gold, turning their once warm cattleman hearts into cold and criminal calculations on when to rob the next gold miner wagon or dude stagecoach.
You come in to play as one of three classes:
A villian, you are a rowdy worker set to have fun at the expense of others, or you are a man simply taking advantage of the new sin city, cheating others out of their claims and stirring up trouble.
A Lawman, you uphold the law out of your sense of duty and justice, or you do so with a wealthy paycheck from either miners or the mayor himself.
OR A miner, you work to make a living, going between having fun in town and going through difficult pick axe swinging labor on the mountain. You do your best to have your men work with you (Or for you) and you try to make due even though there are criminals looking to cheat you at every step.
AVALIBLE WEAPONS: (Some with links to explain)
Handguns:
Merwin Hulbert Single action: A revolver in .45 colt that has a unique loading mechanism; you press a button on the bottom and turn the front portion of the revolver and pull the barrel out slightly to unload the shells.
Smith and Wesson Model 3 (Schofield): A revolver in .45 Schofield that is in Break open action, automatically ejecting cartridges from the cylinder by tossing them out with an automatic spring.
Colt Single Action Army (Peacemaker): A single action revolver, in .45 colt, uses a spring ejector rod to eject spent shells.
Colt Lightning: One of the earliest Double action revolvers, is in .38 colt or .41 colt at largest, .41 is known as the thunderer. Uses a spring mechanism to eject cartridges, similar to the peacemaker.
Remington Army: Exactly like the Peacemaker, except includes a barrel has a decorative slide and an averagely longer barrel length, making it less fast to draw but better in accuracy.
Long Guns:
Repeating Action Winchester Rifle: Often in 38-40 Winchester. Useful for fast and accurate shooting.
