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!

19. Maths are the best. They are in all kind of forms in nature
1. Reset due to an edit...
@the_arkenstonians - unfortunately we can't edit our posts here. Please take a closer look at the rules if you want to count with us.
@kalisenpai you are right - math is in the nature. A good example is the fact that almost every flower has a number of petals (when not damaged) that is one of the numbers from Fibonacci sequence.
3. That ratio still is in black text there, I'm not sure why you're calling it gold.
4. I wonder if there is a living being who speaks in math...
5. Math is a human construct, so I don't think anything can "speak" in math. The fascinating thing about maths is that although we, as humans, created the "alphabet" (numbers), we still are discovering new things that we can do with numbers and that we can see in nature, like the Fibonacci sequence, as @PLGuy said.
7. Things that are also human constructs communicate using math f.e. processors use binary, hexadecimal systems and logic gates which are the part of it. And yes we are discovering many things that are not made by human and have Fibonacci spiral and the Golden Ratio Included in it, like snail shell. Before it was believed that the nature can't contain mathematic rules in itself.
8. @Majestic_Fish, I don't believe it's complicated, it's just logic
@PLGuy, actually, what I really meant is that even numbers have rules we don't know, even though we "invented" them. One example is derivatives: no one ever thought of that type of calculus until Newton and Leibniz.
9. Yes that's a good point. It's like math is not really invented by the human kind - just discovered by individuals I'd say, that the same thing refers to many other branches of science. But personally I don't really bother about the source of the rules that shape the Universe. It's great, that we see them and we are able to use them to progress, though I think, that the most important thing about all the knowledge we achieved and especially inventions we made is the technological development it all enabled.
Of course there are some exceptions that I don't want to mention...
