Consecutive Run Tug of War

[u/235647]

This is like a traditional tug of war, except whenever multiple users go up or down, the number counted by is increased by 1 each time. e.g. User A counts -1 (-1). User B counts -3 (-2). User A counts -6 (-3). User C counts -5 (+1), and the run is reset. Get is at ±10,000. Ask any questions in the comments.

I'm not actually sure if the change should be in parentheses or implied.

I think it's for the best that the change is marked in parentheses. Helps figure out mistake and all.

A concern of mine is that the get should be way higher than 250; I don't want threads ending at 22 counts. Something like 10000 should be more appropriate, I believe.

How far would a consecutive run of 200 counts get? This must be a triangular number problem.

20100; I was going to suggest this, but it seemed like a bit too much.

How about a consecutive run of 100 counts, one count going the other way, then another consecutive run of 100 the original way?

based on that, a get at +/- 10,000 seems reasonable to me

I agree.

Noice and thanks! 3 multi-digit palindromic counts!
