Magic Dust

Finally, we have an episode at the Paddock where darkmarlin16 didn't end up being a casualty. Honestly, I felt for him... even if his own actions practically invited the chaos he faced, nobody deserves to take that kind of beating, let alone face a literal mob.

swifttiger75, did anyone actually survive that massacre?

darkmarlin16 feels bad for you, but as for me—you can take a hike. 😠

Legend!!! 🙏🙏🙏

@coastaldrifter6, nothing crazy happened—just a few warning shots whistling right over our heads.

@ Jason Campbell70, I’ve got a solid follow-up ready, just waiting on Way to make a call! 😉

Wait, what do you mean I actually have to decide? I didn't even realize that was an issue!
If that's how it works, then let's just split up and head in both directions! Naturally, I'm part of the group backing Jason Campbell70!
😁

Brilliant 🍿

Cut the small talk and get to the point! Who's backing whom?

Don't you dare lump me in with that group heading out to see Jason Campbell70... $100 is way too low for my daily rate 😢
I'd much rather be chasing ...... basically, I have a feeling the rewards here could be multifaceted 😬


EDIT:
If you were quick enough, you saw the letters under the dots

Over 4,000 penalty points for a measly $100 prize?

I’m seriously about to lose my cool on someone. 😁

Forgive me if I state the obvious: during the era these events took place, prior to the oil crisis, the dollar held significantly more purchasing power than it does today.
However, that doesn't change the fundamental reality that the fuel was quite an inexpensive commodity back then. 🤣

Honestly, Jason Campbell70 is just a petty con artist who managed to screw over half the planet, and now everyone is out for blood. It’s like when some guy cheats you in a low-stakes poker game, but then he turns around, steals your wife, and finishes off your finest bottle of bourbon...
There isn't any massive financial wreckage here, but people still want his head on a platter. 😁

Jason Campbell70 said:Oh right, now I need to include everyone who has even posted a single time on this subforum.

The main characters of the forum should also be the main characters of the story. Hmm...vice versa does that hold up?

Fine, you can just be some minor, insignificant extra.

Don't give me that—you saw me stepping in like some social worker, which is clearly a supporting role at best... For now, though, you're definitely one of the primary villains.🙂

The pursuit was still hanging on the edge for a while now— Terry Carter2 It’s like he just couldn't make up his mind. Nope. To be fair— He couldn't wait—he spurred his horse forward and went full throttle in pursuit of... I don't even know what that was supposed to be—just a total keyboard smash. Whatever. And his people, too. shadowhawk24 It was just pure instinct.

"Hey!!!" — he shouted. Terry Carter2Nah, both of them were already heading down the slope.
- Tyler Bennett5"Go after them too—they're gonna need a rifle," he said. Way
"Count me in!" he shouts. ruggedfox28Not even waiting for an answer, he just heads out. Tyler Bennett5
"So, we're all going after him, are we?" he asked. shadowstag10 pointing at Jason Campbell70
Hajdemoooo! — confirmed. WayLook, you just gotta deal with it—and that’s that. graniteharbor502 i shadowstag10 It’s starting to head downhill.

Realizing he was about to be overtaken— Boss Decided to get off the horse. Soon after, I went looking for some cover behind a nearby rock. You saw that. shadowhawk24 He told the others to cover him—he’d be out in the open soon enough—and then the rest of the posse sent bullets flying toward the rock he was hunkered down behind. bossReply to this with nothing—just two people poking around with handguns.
And while the crowd kept charging ahead in their frantic pursuit of... I can't make sense of that. What are you trying to say?, shadowhawk24 He made his choice. Boss Sneak up from behind.

By then, the Apache scouts following the carriage had already called off the chase, turning their horses back toward... Ria Spa. Jason Campbell70 He raised his hand while walking toward the carriage—just like that. Mazgoon Seeing that the Apache were turning around, he went to go take care of his horses.

"Vooohooo!!!" he muttered. Mazgoon Stopping the horses before they hit the carriage.
"You're better off turning the car around—the people coming up behind me don't exactly have my best interests at heart," he said. Jason Campbell70 I poked my horse—left him totally confused. Mazgoon I'm stuck.

Seeing that trio closing in on him, he finally decided to listen and headed off. Jason Campbell70 Pulling out his Winchester.

Great... this should save me some time. PilaSeeing that— Mazgoon Turning the carriage.

Upstairs in the lounge. Pat I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. What's on your mind? steelmaker83 They watched everything unfolding on Main Street from their windows. darkmarlin16 He was slowly coming to behind them. Noticing those two were distracted by everything happening out on the street, he grabbed a ceramic chamber pot and—creeping up quietly—went for it. steelmaker83Yeah, this guy—just smashed him over the head with it. Pat It hasn't even arrived yet—not even a whisper. darkmarlin16 He slammed her against the wall, muffling her cries with his palm. Then he cinched a belt around her, stuffing a bandana into her mouth to keep her quiet. He disarmed... steelmaker83 He slipped out the window, sliding down the gutter and dropping into the side street. He hit the ground with the grace of a cat and vanished behind the saloon in just a few steps.

Angry citizens vs. the high rollers. Paddington They took their positions by the windows—dead set on getting justice their own way. kockar He had a plan...

Go ahead and tear down the doors and windows of the saloon on my signal—I'll handle whatever's left.
I hope you actually know what you're doing—just a thought. coastaldrifter6
"Just wait for my signal," he replied shortly before ducking into a side alley.
"Alright guys, you heard him—get your weapons ready!" she barked. I don't know what to tell you—it just sucks. From what I can gather—
"We just barely managed to get under their skin..." the sheriff muttered, leaning against the doorframe while he loaded his pistol.
"Just let them get here!" he said, his excitement finally hitting its limit. Nathan Jones98
"Saaaaadddd !!!" — he muttered. kockar vote

In that split second, a massive volley of gunfire ripped through the saloon—wood splinters flew off the walls, and glass bottles and glasses behind the bar shattered instantly. The deafening roar of the shooting lasted about thirty seconds before a thick cloud of white smoke completely swallowed the street. People were pinned down by the windows and near the doors, waiting for the sheriff. Clark I'm ready. Send over the posts. Nathan Jones98 They didn't shoot back. Then, out of the smoke, he emerged. kockar He was holding a lit torch. He tossed it through the window, where it landed right on the bar—then slid behind it, setting the booze-soaked floor ablaze. The sheriff instinctively ducked and started firing off shots toward... kockarOne guy caught him right in the thigh, and then this limping dude just started heading back toward cover...

It keeps going...

I wouldn't dream of making anything for a duck 🙂

Good grief, it’s a miracle he managed to escape; those people would have burned him alive if they had the chance... 😠 I truly hope that steelmaker83 and Pat made it out okay.

Looks like darkmarlin16 is headed for a rough fate.😠
He's totally screwed once stormybadger8 gets back.

man, damn, what a killer idea this actually was 🙏

honestly, I’m looking forward to more episodes of this thing way more than the actual races

Agreed. 🙏 🙏
Honestly, swifttiger75 saved us from the absolute catastrophe of an F1 season.
