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.

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!

1. talk about comically bad timing... It wasn't even a cached page that didn't show saint's post... It was a brand new browser session and several of the posts I hadn't loaded before. It really just said "screw you, you're going to mess this up"
2. Given that all the counters in that group have successfully counted before, you're post comes across as first-rate comedy.
5. I do love humorous beginnings and tragic ends. That's what we're here for!
6. That's certainly the most humorous beginning I've seen since I've been counting.
7. Counting has never been so fun lol. Also am I the only that has a chance to count without breaking any rules but just sometimes doesn’t? Like idk why but something I just don’t comment hope it ain’t just me
8. And now let's each say the funniest/most unusual category of games on this site.
9. Here's my controversial opinion of the day. I don't really care for fighting games that much. I know it's only because I'm not into them, but to me, Smash Bros, Street Fighter etc. are all really similar and if you were to make copies of every fighting game and make them all have the same graphics so they were visually identical and the only distinction is mechanics, I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart (minus Smash because of the percentage thing).

But that is a lot of changes to make. I think applying that same logic to other game genres would also result in individual games within the same genre not being indistinguishable from one another. But I can somewhat see what you mean when I think about MOBA games.
11. I agree with that; past a certain threshold all the fighter games out there are basically just remakes of each other with slightly different mechanics. What I would like to see more of is of all games with a fighting component making it high quality and fun like adventure games (Sekiro) or detective games (the new Sherlock Holmes open world games would be so much better with a meaningful/fun fighting component).
12. Oh for sure, I'm fully aware that to a large extent, it's just my unfamiliarity/indifference towards it, like old people saying that all metal/rock music sounds the same. You also raise a good point, SirLegendary, I think MOBA is a much better example, given that they all have THE EXACT SAME MAP
13.
Sekiro
As soon as you said this the fanboy in me wanted to rip right out of my chest. I'm with you there. I need more games with that parry mechanic.
14. Yes Sekiro is the poster-child for what to do when including a first-person fighting element; the Lego games (fun as they are in other ways) are the poster-child for what not to do (just keep holding or slamming the attack button indiscriminately).
