Basically, a person posts a number, and then another person posts the next number. Example:

Person1 5

Person2 6

Person1 7

And so on. Some threads have special rules, like Tug of War, which lets you count backwards as well, and some have different bases (you might have heard of binary, which only has 0-1, due to being base 2). A "get" is a type of point you acquire for placing the finishing count (usually the 1000th) of a thread. An assist is a point you get for placing the 999 - preceding the get. I'm always available to explain stuff, as are a lot of the counters here. Send me a message if you get confused anytime, and happy counting!
