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!

14. We got the puppy! He's so sweet but he has a couple of accidents already but we're trying to housebreak him. I was right about Lou, he keeps hissing at him while the puppy doesn't mind Lou. Lou may not be scared of him right now since he's the same size as him, but he better be more nice to him since he's going to be a BIG dog!

16. Heh... not really. It's still getting into 70+ degrees where I live so it's hard to believe it's actually December

17. Did you know that the Fahrenheit-Scale was developed by a german physicist, but germany (like all european countries) uses Celsius-Scale?

18. No, but did you know that degrees Rankine are used for measuring Fahrenheit from absolute zero? (It's just never used because nobody does science in Fahrnheit)

19. So basically Mr. Rankine became famous by adding a number to Fahrenheit... Sounds easy :-)

20. Eh, the way that I see it. Most people can get famous for the most simple things, they just were the first to be recognized doing it.

21. Yep. But Bill Murray says "I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job." I think I'll refrain from doing random stuff just for fame. In contrast, infamy does sound appealing. Also Merry Christmas!

24. Merry Christmas, too! To all those who are happy without being famous or rich ;-)
I had a great christmas with my family. Christmas Eve (Hope that's the right word for 24th, "Heiligabend&quot was at my Brother's with his children and my parents, the 25th was at my mother's in law wit my wife and her siblings.

Lets's see what tomorrow will bring. I'm helping out as a voluntary ambulance driver ("Rettungssanitäter&quot, it seems the full-time staff is overstressed again.

26. It seems the german closing quotation marks are replaced with weird Sequences. Interesting.

Until now I thought the smiley was winking. From now on I will call an ambulance when someone uses the stroke-emoticon :-)

27. Yes, certain sequences of characters simply get replaced by emojis when they shouldn't. that happens with "⁣p, "⁣) and possibly many other strings. (I had to use an invisible separator after the quotes to avoid that bug)

there's also certain emojis that don't work properly like
ne:, izza:, and possibly any other emoji that starts with 'o' or 'p'
