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!

10. no, "w", "k" and "y" aren't used for any word in Portuguese
Well, we have keys for the accents in the keyboard, we have one for ´, which when pressed with shift gives `, one for ~, which when pressed with shift gives ^, ç has its own key, we can also type shift + 6 to give ¨, then, after "choosing" the accent, we press the letter...
so, shift + 6, and then u would make ü (even though we don't have this letter anymore in Portuguese)

so, in total, with my keyboard, I can type á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, â, ê, î, ô, û, à, è, ì, ò, ù, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ã, õ and ç

even though Portuguese only has á, é, í, ó, ú, â, ê, ô, ã, õ, ã, õ, à, ç... (IIRC) and we used to have ü...

also, be careful dude, volcanos are serious business

(4) Hmm... should we panic about it?
I want to panic... AAAAAAAAAAAAH! *grabs a hammer and hits a table with it. Both the hammer and the table are broken violently*

I'm feeling better

5. I wonder why don't ninjas use "delete" button and post it again with a new number. Not a single mark would be left behind, just like a ninja.

6. because forum/mods use both power from the dark side of the force AND Sauron eye and even a ninja can't hide ?

@zrdk Sshh don't even say about deleting! Of course it is in the rules:

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.

@helpo1 Wow xD You're getting close to Chinese in the number of language signs.

11. well, I just type the word without accents depending on whom I'm talking to

what annoys me the most is when I have to write correctly, because sometimes, a word sounds like if it had an accent, and it doesn't, or it sounds like it has no accent, but it does :/
like, "tem" ≠ "têm", &quotor" ≠ &quotôr"... :|

and ç is also confusing, because it sounds exactly like "ss"...
or when the word is written with "sc", which sounds like "ss"...
oh! or those rare words that are written with "xc", which also sounds like "ss"
or, when "x" sounds like "ss"

so, it's not rare to get like "do I write this word with "ss", "ç", "sc", "xc" or "x"?"

12. We have the same stuff with pronunciation in Polish. ó = u / rz = ż / zg = sk and some more. It would be more logical if one syllable was written one way.

1 (13) - well, of course, typing in English is somewhat faster, but it's not that hard.

You can choose whether to type the most common accented letters by using the upper row of 2-0 (plus ú and ň next to Enter), which is the way most people do it, or only use one key (the one next to Backspace) for ´ and ˇ and then write the corresponding letter, which is how I do it. The remaining two, fairly uncommon letters ä and ô, get a dedicated key either way.

However, to write the uppercase form of all accented letters, you have to use the second way (plus ¨ and ^ for Ä and Ô) or just copy-paste them from somewhere.

also, wow! you can type ß and the division symbol!

This is how my keyboard looks like:
