The Oregon Trail
I've been building to this. I have an application which can read comments and publish events to subscribed apps https://fsdfsd.net/J/DramaHarvester.
I have an app currently leveraging that architecture that replies to those events https://fsdfsd.net/J/CrossTalkPM
Now it is time to build this out. 40 minutes ago i got approval for the api for this app
Concept
SAMPLE ONLY BELOW make recommendations on any changes.

Welcome to the Trail! Before we set out on this perilous journey, let's assess your skills. Your marksmanship can save lives. How do you rate your shooting skills?

2. Good Shot
3. Fair to Middlin'
4. Need More Practice
5. Shaky Knees
Choose wisely, as it affects how you'll need to react in the wild!

omg
idk if they had this in the original but in the version i played u could choose
different 
starting professions that would 
change the game a little. like starting with more or less money, i think 
u could even be a doctor 
that would 
help increase 
ur chances of healing from injury and disease? im high as shit might be misremembering that

I have the original source code. Its about 780 lines. While it doesnt have professions, i am open to any/all ideas.
I will do a simple implementation at first and then we can roll out something a little better
