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!

47. Chemo liquid? Really? I'd have never thought I'd know someone who likes chemo liquid. I much prefer drinking stomach acid. What, It's in your body anyways!

52.

what's the best way to give someone cancer?

UV rays, basically. Any type of "strong" radiation (I don't know how it's called in English, like the type of radiation X rays are).

Best way to share cancer would be inheritable I guess

Actually, no. Familiar cancer is only ~2-5% of the cases (depends on your sources). Most of cancers are due to life-style: smoking, contamination... Or just luck. These are the sporadic cancers. If sb in your family had a cancer, it's very likely that's sporadic, unless several generations had had the same type of cancer (for instance, breast cancer in women and men in your family).

Really? I know quite a few people that have cancer in several generations in their families.

55. I also know a family tree close to mine where everyone older than 40 have had or died of cancer. That can't be just a coincidence in my opinion. Probably they have lived on top of a nuclear bomb or have been sleeping inside a X-Ray machine or extreme unluck :P

Well, you have to take into consideration a lot of factors. How old were they when they were diagnosed? (Familiar cancer appears in people younger than 40) Did they suffer the same type of cancer? If so, did they all have bad habits (e.g. smoking)? If they actually have familiar cancer, also, doctors might have asked them to do a genetic test, in order to found to mutation that they have.

That can't be just a coincidence in my opinion.

Notice that there are 14 million new cases each year. Therefore, 2-5% is still a lot.

1. That's a pity. There was some false hope happening that today might be the day.
