Beat me to it. I was gonna post "knows when to hold 'em, knows when to fold 'em."

*watches CurBludgeon run*

*Looks around for the source of the mysterious music* Will someone just shoot that damn piano player!

This is all you, Thawmus. A good gambler also knows when to back away from a losing hand. I will drop a Treachery point.

'Waco Kid! Thawmus called yer mammy a cheap #####!"


I'll spend a treachery point.

So far, 6 out of 10 of you have posted or PM'd me that you are spending a treachery point to back out of the fight:

Antipathy
theanalogkid
Sigdr
anonymOuse
YosiP
hellskingpin

That leaves four possible opponents left for the Waco Kid. But there's still plenty of time to decide to opt out.

Son, it'd be a shame to see you become another victim. Let me handle this. It's the best I can bring to the group.

Keep in mind, anyone and their grandma can make my next sleep an eternal one. You guys don't have anything to fear from me.

*Takes a stumbling step or two. Wheezes to catch his breath. Shakes his head.* That's all the runnin' you're getting out of me today. You ain't my gym coach!

Hey, even if all these other guys turn out to be as yellow as that drink Waco spilled, I've still got better odds of making it out alive than the flip of a coin here.

I'm willing to risk those odds for a much better chance at the bonanza, and to avoid ending up like those poor bastards we left back at the canyon.

*Fat chance, I'm already dead ya stinkin' coyotes*

"He saw the riders commin' hard. 'An he heard their mornful cry! Yippee Ti Yay! Yippe Ti Yo! Ghost Riders in the sky!"

I'll give up a treachery point and let Thawmus do the honors.

Sounds like we're looking at a chance between me, Melkhor, and someone else, then.

I hope the someone else put in a PM.

JackAssterson is the only one not heard from yet, but he has until Monday to post if he decides to spend the treachery point.

To clarify the current situation:

The following players have spent a treachery point to exempt themselves from a possible fight with the Waco Kid:

Antipathy
theanalogkid
Sigdr
anonymOuse
YosiP
hellskingpin
Dombot 3.1

The following players have stated their desire to take a chance on facing the Waco Kid:

Thawmus
Melkhor

The following player has not yet stated a preference, but has until the Monday deadline to do so. (His default status if he doesn't post is still being a possible opponent for the Waco Kid):

JackAssterson

Remember, you can also still PM me anytime before the deadline about backstabbing someone. You may also change your mind about spending a Treachery Point any time before the deadline.

I'll spend a point.
