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.

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!
SCOREBOARD
bold = counted 100, italics = previous winning participant, [#] = # of total wins, (#) = # of times counted 100 FULL SCOREBOARD
62.Beautiful. You know, when I saw the partial eclipse in August, I had the nasty surprise of my camera photos all sucking and it may not be because the camera's from Yugoslavia.
I was also, uh, well, mad at the moon for there being clouds and I went to sleep just to spite the literal bloody moon before remembering that options like exposure are a thing. I wish that was joke
Alright, two questions:
1. Did it capture it well?
2. Can I post the picture on the local amateur photo Facebook group?
64. The very constants of night and day changing. The main source of heat and light on Earth going dark and the blue moon dripping blood. What's not to like about an eclipse? Even if I do have to phrase it that way.
About sciller's post, if you want to go strictly by the rules, well... the rules really only mention posts without any number, or posts with a counting number that is at the beginning OR bold. sciller made a post with a wrong number AND a bold correct number (and a third bold wrong number, technically). One may argue that it comes down to what a counting number is...
It was obvious which number was meant this time, at least to me, so in judging accordingly to the spirit of the game this won't count as a mistake. However, I'd appreciate if this would not become a thing now, because if it sets a precedent to other posts with lotsa numbers everywhere, I (among others) will become confused and invalidate the count. Thank you for your understanding

I'd say it captured it fairly well, although some with super fancy expensive cameras would like to disagree with me. It looks red, that's what counts. And sure, post wherever you feel like.
I try to watch all the fancy events occuring in the sky like Super Blood Moon. It’s rare and beautiful moment of nature. We're given only so many days, and in the end beautiful memories matter.
