## Automaton Decisions
<span.small>(This is part of the overall Automaton rules from the Automaton Variant in the rule book)</span>
When a decision needs to be made on the Automaton's behalf, there will often be a list of priorties to base it on. In those cases, apply them going from first to last. If there are still several options eligible, after applying all criteria, choose:
<ol>
<li>The card with the highest value</li>
<li>The card that comes first alphabetically</li>
</ol>
Other factors to generally consider:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Influence</td>
<td>When priorities refer to influence, always look at the influence a card will have during Sundown.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Targets</td>
<td>When a target is needed for a play, refer to the Archetype.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Movin'</td>
<td>The Automaton will not perform a move that would put it in check (i.e. losing the game).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Choosing Effects</td>
<td>If an ability cannot be used in a way that would alter the game state, it will not be used. If several effects can be applied by the same ability, refer to Effect Priorities.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Playing Cards Not in Hand</td>
<td>If there are several playable cards in the pile, select the one with the fewest cards of that suit and value in play, then, if there are still multiple options, the one closest to the top.</td>
</tr>

## Gunfighter Archetype
This is the first and currrently only official Automaton archtype released by Pine Box Entertainment.
This archetype was designed to get the Automaton into your face. Dudes will aggressively try to control your Deeds and will chase your Dudes down to issue Call-Outs.
[[Here->Gunfighter Deck Lists]] are decks you can use to build your Automaton.
[[Here->Starter Decks]] are starter decks you can use as building blocks to play against Automatons.
When your play area is set up and you are ready, proceed to the [[Gamblin' Phase]].

### Step 1
Call out a Dude.
Can't Call Out a Dude? Then move a Dude to an opposing Dude who can be called out. This must be done WITHOUT BOOTING - if the move requires booting, then the movement can't happen.
If Moving, use the following criteria to choose which Automata Dude to move:
<ol>
<li>Stud Dude</li>
<li>Dude with the highest bullets</li>
<%= window.story.render('Automaton Decisions - Include') %>
</ol>
If Moving, use the following criteria to choose target Dude to move to:
<ol>
<li>Dude with highest control points</li>
<li>Dude with highest influence</li>
<li>Dude with most attachments</li>
<li>Dude with the highest cost</li>
<%= window.story.render('Automaton Decisions - Include') %>
</ol>
If Calling Out, use [[Target Priorities->Gunfighter - Target Priorities]] to select opposing mark and to select a leader.

### Step 1
Move a Dude to a Deed OWNED by the Automaton.

If a Dude can't be moved:
<ul>
<li>Without booting a dude per normal movement rules</li>
<li>Without a loss of control points</li>
<li>Without moving the last unbooted Dude in the town square</li>
</ul>
....then move to the next step.
If a Dude can be moved using using above restrictions, use the following criteria to choose <i>which</i> Dude to move:
<ol>
<li>Skilled Dude</li>
<li>Dude with highest influence</li>
<li>Stud Dude</li>
<li>Dude with highest bullets</li>
<%= window.story.render('Automaton Decisions - Include') %>
</ol>
Move this Dude to a Deed owned by the Automaton. Use the following criteria to choose the Deed:
<ol>
<li>Deed not controlled by Automaton</li>
<li>Deed with ability (printed or attached) affecting Dudes at that Deed</li>

<li>Choose cards leaving play or entering play.</li>
<li>Choose to boot or unboot cards (choosing the option that affects the most cards if applicable).</li>
<li>Choose altering stud or draw status.</li>
<li>Choose increasing or decreasing bullets.</li>
<li>Choose other effects.</li>

Move a Dude to a deed NOT OWNED by the Automaton.
Move a dude:
<ul>
<li>At Town Square</li>
<li>At home</li>

<ol>
<li>Has influence at Sundown</li>

<li>Highest control points</li>
<li>Highest production</li>

Boot the Dude as normal if the move requires it.

### Step 1
<% } %>
Move a dude not at an opposing deed (but can be at own Deed) to the Town Square.
Use the following criteria to choose the Dude:

<li>Dude at own home</li>
<li>Dude at opposing home</li>
<li>Stud</li>
<li>Has Influence</li>
<li>Highest bullets</li>
<%= window.story.render('Automaton Decisions - Include') %>

Note: Do not move a Dude if moving would cause the Automaton to lose at Sunset.

## Shootout Hands
<span.small>(This is part of the overall Automaton rules from the Automaton Variant in the rule book)</span>
To choose a shooter, pick a dude based on the following priorities:
<ol>
<li>Higher than 1-Stud</li>
<li>Highest bullets</li>
<li>Unbooted dude</li>
<li>Lowest influence</li>
<%= window.story.render('Automaton Decisions - Include') %>
</ol>
Create a Shootout Hand for the Automaton in the following way.
<ul>
<li>Determine stud and draw totals as usual.</li>
<li>Draw a number of cards equal to five plus the stud value.</li>
<li>Reveal a number of cards from the AI deck equal to the draw value.</li>
<li>Make the hand with the highest possible rank by combining the cards drawn for stud value and up to one of the cards revealed due to the draw value.</li>
</ul>
If there are several ways to make a hand of the highest rank, choose one that isn't cheating, if possible.
If the same hand can be made with and without jokers, use the one without jokers.
When done, proceed to [[Shootout Resolution]].
