A mixture of opinions, but the most neutral choice prevails. On to the dialogue tree. First Mister Schmidt.quote:"Yep, I'm here to listen Mister Schmidt." Then on to the cowboy. quote:(+5 Carson for getting his side of the story after Schmidt) This gives us an opportunity to take a look around before making a decision. quote:"Glad you're trying to settle this without more violence," Carson replies as he steps back. And now it's time to get to the bottom of this. quote:Render a decision Each option has some sub-options once you select it to further explain the Marshal's reasoning, but for now how is the blame going to fall?

Both are at fault.

1. "Prospector Schmidt is at fault." Schmidt wasn't worried about his life, he was worried about his property. Defense of property is no reason to damage someone else's property. He should have tried to move his property, and if that failed he should have demanded a payment from Carson afterward. Carson was merely negligent. He would have been liable for the damaged property, but his negligence is vitiated by Schmidt's malicious actions. When Schmidt pulled a rifle and started shooting, he gambled that he could save his property by destroying someone else's. The fact that he lost his gamble doesn't mean anything. Schmidt escalated the situation and is clearly at fault. Added Space fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Aug 9, 2018 |

You're entitled to defend your property - if a cart was crashing down a hill onto your house through the negligence of the driver and you damaged it in preventing it from hitting your house you would not be at fault - but for the original negligence, no damage would have occurred. The cowboy is responsible for the actions of his stock, if he'd let them trample a planted field then he would be liable for that cost. The prospector is down the cost of his screens, and the cowboy is down one steer. The cowboy should compensate the prospector for any difference between the cost of the steer and the screens. Carson is at fault. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Aug 9, 2018 |

i'm pretty sure our character doesn't have a legal background though so we should be more interested in rendering a decision that doesn't get us shot you're both wrong!

Neither of you are at fault. Carson had no good reason to expect that someone would be panning for gold in the watering hole and as he said, he couldn't very well go on ahead to check it without losing cattle. Schmit had every right to try and dissuade a herd of cows from trampling the property which is his principal means of earning a livelihood. Both people acted fairly reasonably, and the bad outcome was an unfortunate happenstance.

Added Space posted:1. "Prospector Schmidt is at fault." Also, the poor calf did not deserve to die and wasn't at fault. Schmidt fired multiple shots and didn't care what he hit, and clearly it didn't work.

Vote: 4. "Both of you are at fault." Neither demonstrated a duty of care for the property of others. This is a Tort case, so damages are to be paid for the loss of property, on both sides, without punitive considerations.

Many different possible arguments here, but at the end of the day it's time to blame everyone.quote:"Both of you are at fault." And here's how.

Oh, this game Love it to death, more than a lot of the other games they put out. I'll be watching this for sure, though not voting yet. I know it back to front nearly, and I'd rather not accidentally steer things one way or the other. If we get to other playthroughs, I can't wait to see the reactions to some of the rarer options.

1. "Carson drove his herd toward the watering hole without seeing if anyone was there first." - still think this is the main point.

Many things are important here, but communication seems to be the most important.quote:"The two of you didn't so much as sing out a hello to each other, did you?"

Carson has other cows, Schmidt doesn't have more equipment. Let's make sure everyone is taken care of, and, cook up that calf for dinner.

It's a perfect tie between calling it even and favoring Schmidt a bit, so bringing in a tie-breaker results in option http://orokos.com/roll/651034: 1d2+2 3. Everybody's square and neither man will pay.quote:"Your debts are essentially even." But will anyone pay us?
