We should totally do horse races.

[Staticnova]

16 of us. We could map out a track on the game's map with a start and finish point of some kind.

Also, we could even use carriages and have teams of 2 or 4 (depending on how many can use a single carriage at once). Failing that, and providing this is possible, we could have teams of 2 - with 2 people per horse.

Could be awkward and somewhat difficult to organise in some aspects though. What d'ya reckon, think it'd work?

Haha, this sounds like an awesome idea! We could have two ways of playing: one where we CAN use weapons on each other, and another where we CANNOT use weapons on each other. Y'know what I'm saying? Like a classic race and a dirty race? It might make things more fun (or annoying, haha)

I was thinking someone would do this, the horse racin that is. Great idea Staticnova.

There are going to be all kinds of cool things to do...

gentle men and, ladies if i may add in

the idea is awesome, if i may add a bit of excitment to it though, you should have a point where you start the race, and then the end, but dont set a track, let anyone go anyway that they wish to join, its kind of like a cross country race i think i'm not sure,

and for carriages you can have carriage races and what you do is have a driver and passenger, or passengers, and if there are weapons used, make it so that only the driver can get shot, so that way the passenger can take over but at the same time they lose some distance from the transfer.

plus i heard on that radio thing that to get from one end of the map to another can take up to 15 to 20 minutes, so you can make a very exciting race out of this

[Faithless]

Maybe we can do a shoot out the wheels match...... endless possibilities.

[zoso500]

I got a better idea.

Why dont we race donkeys!?!?! ;D

[Faithless]

Ohh man, too funny....^^ I was watching a vid online and I saw you can unlock buffalos and bulls in multiplayer so thats another option

[Nuahs]

leaders of a posse can mark out waypoints for the members remember so that wouldcome in handy

Ooo, I like this. Weapons could work if players are able switch from passenger to driver position. Good thinking.

And yeah, the waypoints would be ideal.

I like that, get to this point as fast as you can anyway you can. Sounds like a real exiting thing to do.

I like get there any way you can idea.I can see myself trying to find a shortcut and falling off a cliff though.lol

You must mean in Private Free Roam, as you're sure to be ambushed and shot off your horse by a sidewinding cowpoke looking to notch his 6.
