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!

15.

However, to write the uppercase form of all accented letters, you have to use the second way

We use standard programming qwerty but to do uppercase forms of all fancy letters (they aren't accents but whole different letters) we use combo Shift + Alt + normal letter, but of course we don't have as many. We also have similar to yours qwertz with all the accents on " ! etc. and without extra letters under K and L.

1 (16) - all the characters in the lower right corners can be written as ALT+key. Most people don't even know they can write an apostrophe as ALT+P, though (and then they use the acute accent ´ instead), so those like đ/Đ or ł/Ł are way out of their league. Even though I have no idea why they are on the Slovak keyboard in the first place.

That's the currency sign, ¤.

18. Our native qwertz gives about + 20% to typing speed comparing to qwerty when mastered but I barely see anyone using it. Only typists.

@armorplayergc I was just wondering: how did you fake "Edited a few seconds ago" in your post on previous pages? I tried doing it in different thread but the font is different. And in your post only the space is too small and rest makes a great camouflage.

You don't have to tell twice! xD But sadly it's the last fact that I have: qwertz was designed for bank workers. Maybe Slovakian too *looking at the currency sign*

hope the count will reach at least 50-60 when i will come back

We still have some time to not disappoint @Olaffours

25. There's even bigger mystery with mysterious edits Majestic. If this won't work then I have no clue how do they do that.

27. You showed us some of your knowledge Kali so I believe in you even more. That was also certainly just the tip of the iceberg xD

I can mimic edits but only by attaching images. I saw that @armorplayergc was able to post helvetica size 5 (not the percentage of AG font size) on page 4720 and make a fake edit. Anybody,
any clue?
