much too young to feel this d**n old « Result #2 on Jun 23, 2008, 5:38pm »
And now, here we are, Salt Lake City in the year 1876. All the rustler's children have grown up and are ready to make their own mark on this booming town. The reputation of the rustler's has not lessened in the least, and yet the town continues to grow in population. Most people simply scoff at the stories of the rustlers, convincing themselves that they are simply silly stories told so the city will stay small. Of course once they arrive, they soon find out they have been sorely mistaken. But most citizens have far too much pride to up and move their families just because of a few young outlaws.
Gareth's son, Wesley has come to lead the rustlers. The group seems to be quite the family oriented outfit. Most of the members are all sons of former rustlers that were under Gareth's control. The members all manage to keep their identities hidden by simply wearing a hankerchief over their faces while they are up to their little jobs. They still come into town to enjoy the company of a sleeper or to drink at the saloon or to win a game of pool.
Most of the citizens have a fair bit of faith in the new Sheriff Clark Adams. But so far he's had no luck whatsoever in catching any of the rustlers. Of course he has his suspicions. But those suspicions are rather hard to prove when there are several reputable citizens that are apparently covering up for the rustlers. Sheriff Adams is a proud man, and won't be giving up anytime soon. There are several questions now really: Will Wesley suffer the same fate as his grandfather? Will the Carson and Wright families always have a grudge against each other? Will the rustlers ever be stopped? Well I'm afraid I can't answer those questions. Most of the answers lie with you anyhow.

Valley of Hearts « Result #10 on Mar 27, 2008, 6:56pm »
Long ago, when the West was being settled, a group of settlers where wandering in what is now Wyoming. They traveled for many days and soon reached the Rockies. Not finding any trail through it, they began to follow the mountians south. The season was turning cold and they had to find a place to settle soon. During an early snow storm, the group stumbled into a what seemed to be a small valley. The weather was fairly warm here and the group stayed here until the weather cleared up. Some of the younger travelers decided to wander farther into the valley, without letting any of their parents know. The valley was much bigger than they thought. It went on for miles and miles into the mountians but they couldn't follow it all the way through so they hurried back to tell their families.
They began exploring the valley. The land was choice here, the black dirt from the mountian sides had been washed down into the valley, creating a fertile topsoil. Most of the settlers began building homes, creating a town and a few farms around them. The rest that didn't settle down yet began to go farther into the valley. There, at the other end, were wild horses, a huge herd of them. The settlers went back and settled down with the others, having finally learned what was at the other end. Over the years they caught and trianed the horses, starting a community that's very blood was etched into horses.
Now, the wild horses are gone, either having left or were caught. Only the desendents of the settlers live inthe valley, all horse crazy and competitive like their forefathers. The space in the valley is still large and Perfection, the town, is still growing. People continuosly travel here and settle down, enjoying the friendly land. Will you have a place in this valley? What will your future be? Only you have the power to find out.
