Hi - I wanted to post here since I couldn't find anything about it in the rules.

In the game itself, there's an option to set Simulation Speed to Fast (Click Game > Simulation Speed > Select the speed from the drop down menu) which only changes the speed of the red line going across the map - it makes progress significantly faster.

I can't tell from the runs already posted here what simulation speed your game is set to. Would I be allowed to keep my Simulation Speed at Fast or would it be preferable to keep my game's speed at Medium?

I have a run I'd like to post which has the Fast simulation speed which gets to the Rogue River Valley in under 3 minutes, so I thought I'd let you know and ask in case it appeared that I had an unfair advantage.

Edit: I see that in the leaderboards for Oregon Trail: 5th Edition, which is based on OT2, there's sub categories for whether the game is played on normal or fast speed. Ultimately it's the mod's decision what's to be done for this game.

sorry it's been like a week i never saw this, preferably it stays what it is when you download the applicate/game or whatever. I didn't know about this so I'll add it to the rules.
