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!

3. Dude if HahiHa posts, we have to reset the count again. Just ask on his profile.
4. I'll try to ask next time, although the rules seem to be perfectly clear to me about this (unless @Hahiha is doing a non-counting post maybe).
5. Not necessarily. But, profile comment or not, he'll want to check out the thread and then decide whether to strangle us or not.
Anyways, I don't think his e-mail was spammed enough. Let me give him some more! @HahiHa @HahiHa @HahiHa
- Commissioner comment (non-count post), no need to restart -
Yes, according to the rules as written nichodemus is part of the opposing team and therefore unable to help you, since any contribution on their part restarts the count no matter what.
However, considering the current, uh, forum activity and the fact that Team Mods has arguably stopped playing a long time ago except by occasionally disrupting the count, I'm open to let this happen. Since this would be a pretty severe departure from rules-as-written I'd be glad if at least a few of you including @nichodemus could briefly voice their opinion about this in the Discussion Thread, perhaps also discussing how to make sure that potential newcomers don't get confused. That'd be great.
Please, go on.
7. Ding Ding Ding. Told ya. As far as I'm concerned, I'm perfectly A-OK with it, so long as team user is a-OK with it, but I'll see if I can't form a nice good thought about it and leave it in the discussion thread.
8. If the rules stated at the top of this thread don't change that will be extremely confusing though. Plus, how could they change since @Gantic has been dead/inactive for such a long time.
10. Newcomers will always get confused no matter what we do so we just have to pray that they take the time to read the rules for 5 minutes. Maybe make it so it’s mandatory to read them idk.
11. Gantic, my favourite white rabbit, though it is quite odd that I know of two of them.
I suppose reading the rules *is* mandatory if you want to not get talked to somewhat sternly and with-deep-sadness-ly
12. Failure to read the rules is not grounds for breaking the rules.
14. My point being that since @Gantic is effectively dead how can the rules change? And if the rules don't change how are people to know which rules are outdated/no-longer-applicable?
15. I thing the change is necessary. Without it, the only form of participation of mods would be to disrupt the count and making users feel sad. In my opinion, the only way to not confuse newcomers is to explain the rules when they join (which could also solve some other problems). And to be honest, there are not much newcomers these days.
