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!

73. Back again! My computer crashed so badly that I had to reinstall windows. It took a while to rescue my data.

I see, you have almost finished without me :-)

75. This discussion reminds me of Monkey Island 2: "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it...
... what color is the tree?"
I like "Oatmeal-Heather" ;-)

77. I also had to ask google if this is true. And I have no clue how you would translate it to german. Other colours I didn't know before are Chartreuse, Driftwood, Drizzle, Oxblood and Russet. I'm still not sure which were made up by MI and which are official colours.

78. I should make my own colors as well. Gazpacho will be what it's called.

80. It must be a creamy orange, and your home will smell like tomato soup if you paint your walls with it.

81. I would name a color after an Old Spice product name, like Bearglove or Krakengärd.

LXXXII. (82.) Eh, sure. I'll give my brand of dull, desaturated red... Kulen red. Those Engliesos LOVE foreign words! Makes them sound sophisticated. Mmm... I could actually go for some right now... Do I or do I not have some in the fridge...

83. I'm an Old Spice user as well; sometimes you learn very strange things on these forums.

85. I've heard the english-speakers imported even german words, like Kindergarten, Doppelgänger, wunderbar and Angst.

86. Honestly, I have no artistic ability or inclination towards anything artsy, so as far as I'm concerned there are like 8 colors with with "Dark", "Light" and "Ish" as modifiers

87. Yes English will import words from any language that suits its fancy; its basically just a linguistic stew/grab bag.
