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!

84. Smarter people devised myths and travellers spread them and . You can see many similarities between different mythologies. And it was always based on what was happening at the moment. Check the egyptian mythology, what do the gods do to each other and what happens between northern and southern Egypt. It's all methaphors.
85. Well, at least China has other cool stuff like cultivation that I actually don’t see elsewhere. But yeah, there it’s all about immortality and stuff.
87. You wrote about Wu Kong on discord hahah so he was form myths. It's that monkey from LoL.
88. Yeah more from one of the great classics of China tho, ya know, journey to the west. There are four classics there, the one I just mentioned, water margin, the three kingdoms and dream of the red chamber.
90. Sounds like a nice mythology. I'll try to read it then. I just wanna correct sth I wrote in a few previous posts - I thought thats H. Poe Lovecraft so I was confusing Lovecraft with Poe all this time :-P their art was a lil similar though.
91. Yeah. China kewl. Now even I don’t know what to write. Nice.
93. But the ancient China, dude. They were brilliant in the beginning - the most merited citizen (chosen by the previous king) was next in king. Not hereditory dynasty.
94. Well, power corrupts everything. I should get the 100 this time. I can see the end
96. But then everything broke. Feudal lords like too much a son of the king. King chose his successor according to the custom aaand there started neverending civil wars.
97. The three kingdoms is a book about a period where there was never ending civile wars too. The people in the book are all hella cool.
99. Majestic, you've got it. But remember what you've just said - the power corrupts everything xD Use the power of 100 to create another world.
1. Something ends and so something new begins. Hooraaay! We did it, congrats everybody, have a nice day! :-)
3. ^ that's a bad luck, mate :-/
@Majestic_Fish Something I've heard in another audiobook just now [126 hour beast about the fall of the Roman Empire] It's a coincidence we've been just talking who makes myths. It's not only that a group of people devise stories together. A person that cumulates them and starts a religion is very important. There are sources about some northern prophet, named Odin, who joined Scandinavian people under one religion. On a side note, the fact that there are two clans of gods, may indicate that there were two main types of norse collectivities. Aesir - go together with the pillaging warriors. Vanir - gods of farmers.
