Message: <blockquote data-quote="Teflon Billy" data-source="post: 281915" data-attributes="member: 264">I ran "boot Hill" for my Grandma and Grandpa when I was about 13 years old and I've got to tell you ...they were completely out of control.They needed horses, so they shot the stable owner and took some..then they went to saloon, proceeded to cheat at poker, and when the inevitable fight broke out punched a few faces in.When numbers began to tell (and the brawl was turning against them) my Grandma began shooting everything in sight while my Gramp wrestled a shotgun away from one of the patrons and, inexplicably, shot the bartender.After they looted the bar (*sigh*) they decided it was pretty much a countdown til the sherrif and his posse came after them, so they decided to "maintain the momentum" and charge into the Sherrif's office "guns a blazing".They both took awful wounds in the shootout, but eventually prevailed and rode out of town, setting htings on fire as they went.It showed me a who other side of the sedate elderly couple who had helped raise me. I think the world is lucky (really lucky) that they were both able to join the army in their early years...cause if they had not been able to support themselves legitimately, it's pretty clear to me (or was then) that they had the tools to turn to a life or crime.They both thought the experience was great and played a few more times, but a few months later we moved onto Car Wars...which they had no interest in.</blockquote>
