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!

40. I live in a small town and everyone waves at everyone and sometimes we say hello to random people we don't know. I don't think it's awkward but then again that's how I grew up. I know that's not normal in big cities though.

42. Welcome, MrGamingMouse. It's nice to see new counters here. I started a month or two ago. (Also, I am so glad it's almost the weekend. Finals week is always so stressful.)

43. Howdy MrGamingMouse. I'm sure I've seen you before. You don't have to greet every time you come back.

I'm not sure about how "big" your city is. I've heard people call cities of 100k people as "Not big cities". If anything, I took that as a sign of some major Metropolitan.
The city closest to me (Of some 30k. It was the largest city I've been in until I was some 9/10 yrs and even in a town of 6k), I can't say I've experienced that. Guess it's a much different thing in US towns, eh?
No idea how people in big cities act, though. All the noise and gray just turns me off.

In the village where I live (150-ish people), though, it's hard not to know everyone. They're all either related to you or some 3 of your friends.

45.Yeah, I've heard people say that 100k is not big, which I don't agree with either. My town has about 1.6k people, which may sound big to you but considering there's over 329 million people living in the U.S., it's small. However, it was like a small city at first because the town I lived in before that had only a few hundred people. Kind of funny, considering that I briefly lived in Topeka, Kansas, which is a decent sized city (126k) and the capitol of Kansas. I have been to the biggest city in the U.S., which is New York City, when I was 17 years old so I now know that my town pales in comparison.

48. Considering your profile says you live in Brazil (though my Spanish professor from Spain spells it as Brasil), I'm guessing you live in Rio, armorplayergc? I honestly prefer small town living over big cities myself but then again, I grew up in small towns so that could be it. However, some of my high school classmates moved to Wichita, Kansas City, etc., right after graduation. I ended up going up to a community college in a relatively small town since I think that such a big change would overwhelm me. Now, I'm attending a university in a town with 20,000 people. I like it, but I still get a little homesick. Thankfully, I got all but one final (which is online) done and I get to go home today! 😊

49. Don't most universities on their own have more than 20,000 students? That seems super small.

51. @armorplayergc 12'000'000? In one city? That's nuts. The population of my entire country is 27 million.

53. 12 million inhabitants in one city... That is almost half of 'Stralia, or about 3.5 Croatias. In one city.
Then again, Croatia is about the size of West Virginia (Mountain Mama! TAKE ME HOOOO-)

Most universities have 20k students? Is that so? How in God's name do they all fit inside one building...

Nah, 1.6k doesn't sound like much at all. After spending a while getting comfortable with the 6k town, I realized that it is quite small. Well, compared to every other urban (Can I even call it urban) area. I reckon that you're home today? Enjoy while you can, there's almost nothing as important as family.
