Struggling - Fighting - Jungle, Sword and Sandal, or Wild West Type

I suppose the fantasies of my childhood are now extremely politically incorrect.  But there was something primal about the Tarzan, Cowboy-Indian, and Hercules movies, particularly with the half un-dressed characters, existing in lands of violence.  There was good and evil.  With brutal villian(s) savoring their victories and nearly being ultimately successful, but ultimately fully and, in the most exciting ones, violently and brutally defeated by the hero/heroine or by their own mistake -- just on the verge of ultimate victory.

So, I enjoy those ingredients.  I also enjoy roleplays where each player is playing multiple characters.  Fighting, capture, death, rape can all be ingredients with some characters succumbing and others surviving.  I have enjoyed being the victor or the loser in these roleplays.  Sometimes there can be the agony of victory and the ecstacy of defeat to reverse a phrase. 

I see chat roleplay as a flexible, back and forth, creation of a story involving characters.  Each person writes an emote in turn, but, importantly, avoids god-modding. At its most basic, for example, one I post it would describe my character(s) attempted actions, and leave it up to the other person to decide if the action(s) was/were effective, partially or fully.  I expect the reverse should happen.  Of course, there is an exception to this, to the extent that one character has become incapacitated or near incapacitated, the other player has more freedom to describe actions and results.

Recently, I have been imagining a number of scenarios of the wild west.  The scenarios can be roleplayed out or just discussed as to what might happen:

1)  A foursome of townsfolk have taken a wagon to a forest clearing near a stream.  As they enjoy their surroundings, a group of indians, some female, some male warriors come upon them and attack.

2)  A white settler returns to his cabin.  He finds it burned to the ground and his wife stripped and dead.  The attack was conducted by a trio of indian warrioresses hoping as part of an initiation as fighters.  The white settler tracks them down to a clearing in the woods where the trio are celebrating their victory.

3)  Indians have been attacking stagecoaches in a canyon passage.  They steal and kill and let one paleface leave with the stagecoach.  A group of settlers set up an ambush in the canyon with men stationed on either side of the canyon and gunfighters with weapons inside the stagecoach.  The idea is that when the indians attack, the whites will ambush.  (It might be that unknown to the settlers, the indians have gotten wind of the plot and have their own fighters stationed even higher up on the canyon sides.)  The indians and possibly the settlers have a mixture of male and females.

4)  An indian brave comes across a cabin.  Inside is wife of a settler.  The husband is away.  It is night.  The indian decides to attack the wife and confronts her.  He threatens her with his knife or tomahawk.  He begins to lust for her.

I thought I would provide a couple of examples of chat RPs I've done here -- to see if that would generate interest:
