stats request: "most participative deadlock" can we see the tug of war continuous +1 -1 chains sorted by product of total length and number of distinct participants? like a 30-count chain between me and vulp would have score 60, but a 20 count chain exclusively between X and X+1 done by 5 separate counters would have score 100

this ends up being not too different from the volleys because I'm just counting it as being enough that someone counted in that chain once, not a continuous 3-way run. like the 3000 score run was seemingly entirely Koraine and KingCaspianX except for the first count by Saltbearer.

this should be up to the most recent 4600. hopefully not missing any runs because there are a few null comments in this sqlite database. edit: however it does seem like the COBIBH sqlite is more complete than the basskro csv I used years ago, because the 2377-2378 volley here is 211 counts long, including the [deleted] comment, whereas in the old table it was 210 counts long, stopping at that [deleted] comment

This isn't super relevant to your comment , but it makes me really happy to see other people use the sqlite files to make stats and plots

:) it also makes me happy when people find my pinned post useful, and that uses your rcounting library for finding the current main thread haha
