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!

...but also isn't this image as random as the one on the last page that another mod said was pointless and shouldn't have been posted?

I'm not certain. I'd have to confer with another moderator. I figure my image is rather directly related to count to 100, with it being made specifically for this thread. But since I was unaware of the image situation a few pages back, I'd have to see what another moderator says about it. (I can't find a rule in the Count to 100 rules against posting images, however forum-wide rules against image spam exist. But, posting an image and posting image spam are different things).

Explanation of the image:

The image is a bit of image manipulation work, on my part. The skull was done by myself from scratch (with some reference images) for an aramatar contest. The card itself is from Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (a digital collectible card game). I had to merge a few cards together to get the stats on it the way I wanted (0 mana, 8 health, 8 attack, pirate, legendary). The card name and text I did myself.

I figured the card would be related to the game, as a battlecry, in Hearthstone, is an effect that takes place when the card is played. In this case I "played" the Reton8 card, which it's "battlecry" reset the count in this thread to 0 for the non-mod/admin players. (Technically just me posting resets the count, but I thought the card was an interesting way to do it.)

Anyway, if another mod rules it spam I will remove the image and just not post it any longer.

ne1) How is that spam? I think it's okay, personally. But, then again, I'm not a mod.

Re: Image spam.
There's a significant difference between an image related to this thread or even to counting in general (eg the picture of a bunch of artsy fives someone posted fairly recently for their five post, or the bottle with a seven on it accompanying the seven post) and completely unrelated images like that girl and the bloated snake.

Two cents given.
