Proposal: It’s a game of Tag, after all

Create a new rule called “Score”:
All Runners have a score, which is a publicly tracked non-negative integer defaulting to 0. If a Runner has a score that is at least 1,000 and is higher than any other Runner’s Score, they have achieved victory.
In “The Stack”, append the following after “If the total Size of Disks on a Stack ever exceeds its Capacity, that Stack has Overflowed; the Runner or Gridmaster whose action caused a Stack to Overflow must repeatedly Pop that Stack until it only contains one Disk, then reduce its capacity by 1, unless reducing the capacity this way would cause the Stack to be Overflowed.”
Then, the Runner who’s Stack Overflowed has their score halved, rounding down. The Runner who caused their stack to Overflow gains 100 score if they are a different Runner; if it was the Gridmaster, all other Runners gain 50 score instead.
Throwing an idea for a wincon. Probably needs more methods of scoring though
Cautiously against a victory condition based around actions that we haven’t successfully taken once yet. I’d rather see some working gameplay before agreeing that “cause 10 overflows” is non-trivial.
lendunistus: he/him
should probably define the score value as non-negative if we want to allow spending score, since we’ve had hiccups with that in the past
