The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!
HOW TO PLAY
1. Count by ones from 1 to 100 in 100 consecutive posts according to the Core Rules.
2. Restart the count from 1 after:
a. a Moderator (or an Administrator) makes a stopping post (post without counting) if users and Knights are counting..
b. a user or Knight or Warden makes a stopping post (post without counting) if Moderators and Administrators are counting.
c. breaking a core rule, spamming, or cheating.
d. reaching 100.
3. Announce why you restart the count so other counters don't get confused.
NOTE: For the time being, Moderators are allowed to help Users count, so as long as the other rules are observed you do not need to restart the count if you see a mod count. However, if a Moderator makes a stopping post, i.e. a post without counting (not the same as a non-count post since they're technically different teams), it is considered an interruption and the count will restart.
CORE RULES
No mistakes. A count must start from 1 and increase by ones up to 100, save for exceptions noted.
No double-counting. No counter may count two consecutive numbers.
No back-to-back counting. No two counters may alternate for more than three consecutive numbers.
Okay: P1 P2 P1 P3
Not Okay: P1 P2 P1 P2
Okay: P1 P2 reset P1 P2
No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.
ADDiTiONAL RULES
No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
Multiple one- or two-word counts may also disqualify a count.
No "cheating". This shouldn't need to be said. Counting to 100 doesn't count if you cheat.
This is an exercise in teamwork, not rule bending.
No "spoiling". Don't mess with the count. Posts should start with the correct number.
Posts with no numbers should be ignored. See also: No non-counts.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
No "spilping". If this is your first post in this thread, please post "I'm new and here to count to 100!"
No non-counts. No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that number if that counting number is not at the start of the post.
COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.

Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".
END GAME
Once you reach 100, you start this Sisyphean task all over again back at 1. Users should notify the Commissioner of the Count (HahiHa) that the count reached 100 and the Commissioner will review it to make sure there were no mistakes or cheating. If there were no mistakes or cheating, then the users who took part in the successful count to 100 will get a shiny new Quest!

56. Also, Orion gave us the first recorded date in Europe according to a museum I've been.
It also gave us some fireworks, so that's pretty nice!
57. First recorded date? I hope that wasn't one of my dates 0_o And srsly that's kinda interesting issue. In one of Sherlock's episodes there was an example on how it is possible to measure a very closely estimated moment of creating the painting, that includes stars. Of course made by a good painter and not some kitsch. Constellation change slightly every moment and not only due to orbiting.
58. Cassiopeia is also easy to find in the right season. Especially when I'm in an airplane. I can see the sky better that way.
59. Dude, that's nothing! I can see Cassiopeia much better, when I'm in a spaceship.
60. Dude, that's nothing makes me remember a forum game!
Also, in science we are currently studying constellations, talk about timing.
61. It's a prank bro. We all were on that lesson!
Yeah I should have written these sentences in order other.
63. What's the deal with constellations names!? I mean? HOW?
-Hey archimedes! What do we call THAT group of stars? You know! That one!
-It certainly looks like a woman! I'll call her... Cassiopeia!
-Dunno, man, it just looks like a bloody SQUIGGLY LINE!
-Nope! Definitely a ******* woman!
-You on drugs?
-What? No! But dude. Have you tried eating a whole bunch of apple seeds while inhaling arsen?
Only thing I've seen in the night sky is the big dipper.
64. Hey, stop hating on the ancient greeks. They were smart people.
65. If we're still sharing lore about constellations, then I'll add one more bit. Cassiopeia is the best for performing penta kills, especially on ARAMs.
1. @sciller45 Seeing patterns is a very natural human thing, and ascribing those patterns names and identities according to one's mythology is something pretty much all human cultures have done.
There were also practical uses to this. The positions of certain stars in the night sky could be used to help navigate a ship in the open ocean. The Greeks even built what some call an 'analog computer' based on stars and constellations...
1. Cool name. It was an orrery, which is literally a mechanical model of constellations. Analog computer, because it was so precisely made.
But that zigzag, line built from the brightest stars of Cassiopeia, doesn't resemble a woman, like Sciller noticed. Nevertheless, naming it a "zigzag constellation" doesn't seem to be a better idea.
2. Yeah. Let's just stop arguing and leave it be as Cassiopeia. Also, Yellowcat, I made a roleplay if you would like to join it
