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!

9. Aren't we lucky? We live in an era which will probably have another war for resources...

10. People shouldn't treat the remaining resources in that carefree way, like there would be infinite amounts. F.e. they say that the prospects are in huge deposits of shale gas. But consider the amount of fuel needed to mine it :-P The war for resources is not that abstract...

BTW do we congratulate each other on 600 posts? If yes then: @kalisenpai I congratulate you in advance on clocking up 600 posts ^^

3) Isn't it said that WWIII would be beacuse of water shortage?

12. Water is still a resource. I'm gonna call you elder daoist brother, while sometimes calling you senpai, @kalisenpai. Btw, congrats for 600 post!

13. @kalisenpai I've also read that about water and WWIII. I think that there shouldn't be a problem with desalination with the technology we have, so we should have it for many consecutive centuries. But water is also the resource that cannot be replaced with anything. Only supplies on other planets might save civilization at some point.

@Majestic_Fish And not daoist sister? :P

16. Regarding the water thing, I didn't mean that the water wasn't a resource, just that that's an issue that has been long discussed.

gotta cal kali Fairy kali, since she should have enough beauty to topple kingdoms...

@Majestic_Fish I don't know what to say to that XD

1 (18) - is water shortage really that critical? I mean, haven't we had the option to stock up on dehydrated water for decades?

19. @helpo1 You have a good point. I stock it in bunker myself. You just need to pour some water on it and BOOM! Fresh water.

22. Hello Chryosten - we've heared rumours that only counting in which you participated can get the quest. IDK how much truth is in that but 25/26 wins speaks for itself...
