Haven't played this in a long long time, but figured it is easy to play along with the community so I might give it another shot.

Let's read the introduction, and see if it jogs my memory.






Whee let's get this thing on the road... err trail.

[Duke 2.0]

 Seeing all the quotations in there I'm assuming somebody in a legal profession made that intro. Seriously, does buttons need to be quoted? Was this the first use of the term buttons on a computer?

 But yeah, go for full hunting gear. The world is our rations!

Montgomery's Journal Day 0
So I sold up everything I had and am abandoning my family all for a chance at fortune and a place of my own in the fertile lands of Oregon. So off we head, into the wilderness,

but before we do so, I will need the names of the volunteers who have joined us for the hard trail a head.

Also I forgot what my occupation was how silly of me. This handy table might remind me of my skills.

[Akigagak]

Is there a reason why three of them are female?

I'll take a blacksmith, however.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

Err the occupation is only for the leader, it is basically the difficulty level with banker being easiest and teacher being hardest. What you can do is name one of the volunteers joining, kinda like naming a dwarf in a community fort.

[CJ1145]

Name one Jebediah. His role is comic relief and dying of hilariously painful reasons.

Goal: To die of dysentery immediately after breaking several bones and being bitten by a rattler.

[Creamcorn]

Name one Toady, +500,000 points if you keep him alive.

[Volatar]

Name one Valar, the guy that is totally "Be Prepared!" like a good Boy Scout and has all kinds of little "maybe we could use this" odds and ends, but none of the REALLY important things one should bring.  (this would be a fitting description of many a boy scout) (I know the boy scouts started much later, he only seems like one  )

[Servant Corps]

Why are you even going to such a hedonistic place? Head over to God's Kingdom of Earth (i.e, Salt Lake City)*.

*Yes, I know that's only in the Oregon Trail 2. Still, somebody had to say it.

EDIT: If we're going to have a Boy Scout, let's just have a Moron Teacher Priest on board too.

Heck yeah, Salt Lake City is way nicer than Oregon! Also, its a shorter trip 

[Cheeetar]

Hey, I remember this game. Or at least, that flash game road-trip thing based on it, which I appear to have lost the link for.

Take Blacksmith or Farmer as the profession.

[A_Fey_Dwarf]

So servant you are wanting a passenger? What shall his name be?

[Goron]

Goron if there is space

Day 1
Ah, I'm a farmer, can't believe I didn't realize that.


Anyways, at Matt's store I spent the cash I had worked hard months in the fields for, hopefully I have enough supplies to last it the journey.


And it is April



Phew, now to get the journey underway...

[mainiac]

Travel at the slowest pace and start hunting one day after you leave Independence.  Then hunt every three days until you make it to Oregon.  Once you do that, you'll want to sell your meat to the rest of the wagon train.  You wouldn't think they'd be too interested in it, but they love your meat.  All of them, the women, the indians heck even the mormons love your meat.  Don't worry about them getting tired of your meat, no matter how much you give it to them, they'll be wanting more.  In short, give people your meat as much as possible and you will reach oregon a very happy man.
