It is weird to talk about a chess.com-blitz challenge on lichess. Why not have a separate lichess-blitz challenge?
Personally I think farming should be excluded from such challenges. It is quite easy to select opponents and gain 100 rating points. I did it myself in the past a few times (at +2600 ratinglevel) so I know it is tempting and works very well. It is not illegal but I wouldn't do when stakes have been raised to $1000.
Tilt originated from pinball machines. The tilt sensor would go off when the machine was tilted, often because of cheating but it would also happen when people got mad and shook the machine a bunch and would end that game. That anger during play is where the term comes from though it as adapted to include other emotions that mess with playing the game
When I recognize I'm tilting, I know I need a break. So I normally walk away from the situation that is making me feel that way. Some just love to press the button of others that will make them pop. When I'm back in control of my emotions, I look back to see what triggered it. Hoping to learn from it and grow from the experience.
i got tilted when i win a game by far
I like the "play til you lose" thing. Might make analysis more of a thing to discourage it. That being said, might not be the best motivator if you get flagged ;)
Great topic.. more about the psychic aspect of the game please!
Thanks.

I think it's a good idea to play until you lose and then stop, but what if I lose the first game I play? Shoud I stop?
