Recently, it was discovered by @Blytung and myself that Locomotion runs at different speeds on different computers. With some experimentation, we could not find a solution to make the game run at a uniform speed on all platforms. As a result, we would like to propose the following change to the community:
The replacement of the Jan1 category with an in-game time category. The Jan1 category is the least-run category that I believe will only shave off a second or two from most Base category runs.
This new category will be igt (in-game-time) and will be determined by the year/month/day on the top of the challenge completed window. This will allow strategic pausing, fast-forwarding and saving/loading. These runs will be probably longer times, but will be well balanced by the new strategies that should emerge from them.
If you have any concerns with these proposed changes, please post below. Otherwise these changes will be made in ~2 weeks.
