I like this character and what he brings. At the same time, you may consider changing his job to "deputy sheriff" instead of "deputy marshall." Not sure U.S. marshalls had deputies. There is also a Sheriff in town, a kindly old gentleman named Sheriff Lawson "Law" Norder, an NPC. But if you want to stick with a deputy marshall, that's fine with me too. I don't have any big qualms.

Abraham Ford 'Devil-Eyed' Booth is ACCEPTED! Welcome to Grand Theft Horse!




ANNOUNCEMENT:

Guys, just so you know, I'd like to plan for a time skip in the near future to the next morning at the East Zilch church. I have a great NPC pastor in mind. But I don't want to go until everyone's ready. So if there's something pressing you want your character to do, let me know. Otherwise, let me know you're good to go. I'll probably do the time skip in the next few days or so depending on what people say.


Thanks. I've changed his profession to Deputy Sheriff.

I originally had a scene in mind where he arrives playing a guitar on horseback outside the Mayor's office where the standoff between Karen and Don Coy-ote is happening but I'm also fine waiting until the timeskip to post IC.

Guys - Sorry. One more day. Today was not a good day for me, and I was not really able to write - especially anything funny. I should be ok tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Ok Guys. Got the TIMESKIP post up. Sorry for the delay.

We are now on the next day, getting done with Sunday morning church. It is the Sabbath, and you'll be frowned on if you work. Please tread cautiously when it comes to speaking about religious matters, since we are not out to either endorse or argue against any one. Whatever your religious views are IRL, keep your IC thoughts fitting to your characters and respectful over all.

One other thing - I'm going to be gone from Sunday through Tuesday and won't have time to respond or write anything until Wednesday. So that means, if any of your characters want to work security for the Fells Cargo wagoneers, you can just assume you're hired and feel free to interact with them and RP for them that they say yes, can tell the details of when their shifts start, that sort of thing. If you interact with Tater, Beaux, Buck, or any of the other NPCs, you'll just have to wait 'til I get back.

There are deputy US Marshals if you wish to be one I wouldn't mind


It was a tricky choice deciding between Deputy Sheriff or Deputy Marshall but given the scene with Fellers Cargo at the Sheriff's office serving as a potential entry point for posting I've gone with Deputy Sheriff but still look forward to interacting with the Marshall when possible.

Interesting character concept. I think I like him. Just be careful that if you are going to do any IC preaching, that it does not actively condone or tear down any IRL religion. Other than that? This could be interesting.

I'm also really glad that your friend Kallidrus is having fun here and recommended you join. It's always fun to RP with friends.

So I just read the rest of the IC that happened while I was gone. Let me say that you guys are hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

How can you tell you have a fun RP going? When the OP has to leave for several days and then comes back to find about 20 or so new posts.

I will get to posting today. Lots to react to though.
