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. The number in parentheses for mods is the number of times they have reset the count.

13. Since we can't ask questions, listen to this. I feel that that might not have been a very good idea though.

I believe if you edit your post within 30 seconds of posting, the post will not show signs of editing. To quote Ferret from here:

1) Yes, 30 seconds to edit something without an edit badge at the bottom. 10 minutes to edit your reply overall.

I think there should be a rule, you can edit within the 30 seconds, but after that no. Plus, people will see that you made an edit after 30 seconds. The rule could be helpful for people who catch a mistake quickly or get ninja'd, but it doesn't allow for cheating (like putting in the wrong number and then long after the fact fixing it.)

3. If you don't change the number it should be fine.

4. I agree. By the way, are you going to say

"Hey, Chuck, Chuck! It's your cousin, Marvin! Marvin Berry? You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this!"
everytime I post weird music?

8. It seems the you-know-whos have set of rules about when to post. We need to figure them out, so we can not break them.

9. What do you mean about "when to post" rules?

11. I was referring to when you-know-who posts. That is to say, rules like we can't ask questions, and the such.

13. I would suggest writing them down, if they aren't added.

Am I supposed to let you guys build up the score to add to the suspense? Or am I supposed to just post a lot so everyone gets annoyed and quits?
