Since medals persist through restarting the game and they actually give you a boost to money gain etc, can you farm out medals ahead of time to start the IL categories with a big boost? Or how would that be handled?

It looks like the medals are deleted by uninstalling and re installing the app. I don't know what the right choice is. If medal farming is allowed then a lot of the IL times will be ridiculously fast but I also don't know if it warrants splitting up the categories to have one start with 0 medals and another to start with any number of medals.

What are your thoughts?
