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.
DiSCUSSiON THREAD
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!

This is just a post
To prevent a back to back.
Danger is removed.
15.
poetry rules may
be different in english
than it is in french
for rymes, when the words ends with "e" the syllable doesn't "count" and i'm not sure it's the case for english, i know how it works in my own langage, not in english. the only thing i'm sure about haikus is "5-7-5"
16. But it wasn't a haiku this time. You've got 6 syllables in the middle. To check the correct pronunciation you can click "hear" button (a speaker icon) f.e. in Google Translate.

I'm here to destroy
Only thing you're sure about
haikus. listen here!
Haikus also are
Syllables 3-5-3, but
for English that's short.
A lot of the languages have weird rules when counting syllables. In my language, it's mostly Consonant (or two) + vowel. So here would be a haiku!
Pas je-de ma-čku
Za-što ne-mam po-jma ja!
Ša-la Ne-sla-na.
That basically means I have no idea about counting syllables in other languages.
Rhymes are pretty simple, too. As long as the last two letters are the same, the words rhyme.
I am not kidding you, this is not an oversimplification, this is pretty much it.
Rhymes can be like Čak - Proleterijat, or Para - Komunjara.
Meanwhile English:
meat (suite), great (straight) and threat (debt). Meat Great Threat seem like they should rhyme, but they don't.
have I written too much and gotten too far off topic. Ahh, well I ain't givin' up now!
and @PLGuy, I really don't know. I though it wasn't a haiku, but then. This happened. Is it wrong, or?
18. @sciller45 Wow it is right I learn new things every day. There's that almost not hearable syllable that I used to ignore (along with many American English speakers I suppose). It is dif-fer-ent indeed and I retract my former claim.
19.
This is a post to prevent
A back to back post
Thank me later
21. *ekhm, ekhm*
Syllabless
Pairs until this day,
Them different chocolates.
They're three syllables
22. nope @sciller45, it was totally good ^^
as @PLGuy pointed out, my last middle seems to be missing 1 syllable in the middle, but counted as i do i french, it is ok.
=> xxxe + eyyy you "skip one" like for example "elle est" (she is) is 2 in poetry, even if it is 3 syllables in fact.
as for the rhymes, haikus doesn't have to rhyme, but other poem could, with different rhymes rules with rich, poor etc quality and different organisation like a-a/b-b, a-b/a-b, a-b/b-a etc
By the way
i need to post a
new haiku
24.
I am just posting
Because It has been twelve hours

25. The drought is consuming this game! We need rain! Bring on the posts!
26. Good *insert time of day* to everyone! I kinda forgot CT100 for a bit. Whoops.
