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.

Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.

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!

(not a stopping post)

@sciller45 Yeah, 'tis was a stopping post. As mentioned in the rules:

4.0 The count shall be restarted from 1 if:
4.0.1 a counter from the opposing team posts. The opposing team shall make a stopping post to interrupt the count for the counting team. A stopping post is not required to include a number.

Being the commissioner and on the opposing team, when I'm making official posts only and/or replying to a question I will specifically state that there is no need to restart, as I did above. Was my previous post an official post? Definitely. But I also wanted you to restart, so I didn't say anything

sorry if I've confused anyone

4. CAUTION: Long discussion of the rules. I'd recommend skipping.

Thanks for the explanation Komissar, but I was wondering about something else.

Now, in advance, I apologize if it caused some confusion, but I meant dragonmaster's post without a number. On one hand you have:

2.5 No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that counting number if that number is not at the start of the post.

This is a core rule, and according to 5.2, the count will be invalidated for the group for it.

5.2 The count may be invalidated for the group for:
5.2.1 breaking core game rules listed in Section 2.0 to reach the goal.

However,

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.

This rule clearly states that a post without a number is "valid" and won't stop a count.
Further confusion is caused by:

5.3 The count may be invalidated for the individual for:
5.3.1 non-count posts in counting position.
Explanation: Non-count posts in a counting position should not be made. They are in a position where they should contain a number but don't to avoid being ninja'd or breaking a core rule. In this case, the non-count post in a counting position will noted as either (a) non-participation if such a post would not violate a core game rule if it was numbered, except for the case of being ninja'd or (b) violation if such a post would cause a violation a core game rule if it was numbered. The counter will not be scored.

If this happens, does the count reset (Which I doubt because in that case this text would be useless) or does he get punished with non-participation?

I suppose now that I've laid it all out (and, at least, I believe I have a better idea of what a non-count post in counting position is), it seems dragonmaster would be punished by non-participation, but I hope you can clear this up, Komissar!

Wait, what?! *Looks back through posts, sees the one sciller is referring to* I thought I had a number there! *Facepalms, begins typing* Well, whatever would have happened, we already restarted so... moot point. (Also, 5.)

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.

And yes, many other townsfolk got promoted as well, perhaps a divine intervention or Christmas came early.

7. @AmyClyne Hahaha XD I can imagine that being a Princess has more advantages, age being not the least of them. But queens also have their advantages. Just wrap your king around your little finger, and you rule the kingdom. And as a gray eminence at that.

I checked the rankings, so... There's a dude with 17 quests, last seen 11 years ago, on the second place...

Can somebody fill me in on what's happening? :-P
