Count until someone who's signature has fewer characters than the number posts

[Mister Apple]

So if someone gets to 22, and then someone sees the thread with a signature of 'Mister Apple is dumb.' (Without the quotes.) This signature, counting spaces and the full stop, has 21 characters. So this person could reset the count.
Is it convoluted? Yes.
Will it die immediately?
...um, I hope not.

How much does a gif or picture count for?

 

[Mister Apple]

Let's say each image, animated or otherwise, only counts for one character.

 

[Specific Neptune]

your game is going to end very very fast if that's the case

 

[Mister Apple]

Good point. Hmm. Maybe images count for ten.

 

[Camwoodstock]

I'd say images--and for that matter, any code or embeds--should count exactly how long it takes to put them there. So say there's the code to embed the image, and discounting the brackets to even embed it, the URL turns out to about 20 characters. Then, not counting the brackets, you have 20 characters. You'd also add those brackets to the total.

Im pretty sure the game won't last very long when I post here

 

[Mister Apple]

No, Id say images just count for ten no matter what. It complicates it otherwise. And this was complicated already.
Anyway, let's play.

Come on, where's everyone else? I need help here!

 

[LED42]

Wait, my signature has at least 20 characters, and we are on 1, so I can help until 20*
