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!

81. I think there is an escape clause or something like that in that case. I hope someone new finishes it.

82. The escape clause is the "no spoiling" rule.

4.1 The count shall NOT be restarted from 1 if:
4.1.1 a post without a number is made, except in the case of a stopping post.
4.1.2 spoiling occurs.

Later is written that the count SHALL be invalidated for the individual spoiler.

So if a troll made a mistake on purpose, we can ignore him, and if we win, the troll will not be counted among the... counters.

I, for one, am hoping *I* finish it, but I am amazed at the pace you've got here. Going faster than in a long while. And I mean a long while. A long, long, long while.

83. It's the only thing keeping me on this website so I don't mind, and besides, currently 199 people have the quest so soon it will finally go up to 200!

84. 200 successful counters. I feel bad for RebelGamer. She counted ardently during the dry spell, but never was successful :/

Just getting off a 10-hour work spell. Just pure focus on a single task for 10 straight hours. I am... feeling ten different emotions simultaneuosly.

01. Welcome, CanasianStuntRanger! Always refresh before your post to check if someone did a post some seconds ago ;-)
Sciller: Oh yes, I think RebelGamer was really frustrated. She tried a long time to get a count!

5. It was neither a troll, nor at 99, so I feel fine :-) At first I thought it was some kind of joke from skiller, after he announced "Icould troll you at number 98". But even if would do such atrocities, I'm sure he would do it in a more remarkable way.

6. Alright, voting on a new rule: Whoever jinxes the count again gets whipped into stiff peaks.

Correct, Hal! I couldn't do it without a certain theatricality. (By the way, it's Sciller with a C. Skiller is my brother.)
