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!

11. We didn’t even try to win this for 3 months. It used to be hard - mods breaking counts at high numbers, an assault of trolls. Now it’s softcore. We can keep rolling like that and eventually win, or meet in 3+ people in a chatroom and spare circa 30 mins.

3. @PLGuy yeah, but that also means it kind of defeats the purpose of this as a community game and boils it down to three people who just want to win and get it over with.
when ya wanna do it?

4. @Hunter902 It is nice that it is an insane quest. It wouldn't be if this were easy. I would like to get an insane quest.

5. That's right, it's designed as an insanely hard and thrilling community game. There are no rules limiting restarts. Other story if there was: “you can restart only after even numbers”, giving a way to secure high numbers. It all worked fine without chat with 10+ people adding 10+ posts each day (old history), so mods had a hard job stopping attempts. Now I guess it's more mercy or ignoring when they let us finish after 8 days.

We shouldn't set time for a sprint here.

@charlesjoseph Don’t spam. Many times we lost complete CT100 because of that, twice (at least) with a single post like yours.

8. Dudes, haven't you learned you aren't allowed to talk to strangers? *says, as she herself is talking via CT100 with strangers*

9. Oh, don't worry! Uncle Max ain't no stranger.

But I assure you, these watches are of the highest quality. And do not touch my glasses. *flips up shades*

10. i thought talking with a stranger in an alleyway would need to be in the alleyway, but whatever, more counts!

11. Talking with anyone in an alleyway isn't a good idea, let alone a stranger.
