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!

With the forum update, the count statistics are harder to get so I will not be updating those until I have the time.

1. Wow! Well done everyone! You nailed it! First win in over 6 months!

As a side note, Well done to @KatPryde, @Eldunari17 and @Doombreed for purposely (or accidentally) coming up with what I have believed for months is the only proper strategy that can beat Count to 100.

P.S. The strategy is a 3-man alliance where you take turns posting in a circle - that way you don't break the back-to-back rule, and by using a set order no-one gets in the way and accidentally does a double-post, Done properly, this strategy can reach 100 in less than an hour, way too fast for even Unleashed to stand a chance of stopping it.

4. Thanks We just decided to do that yesterday. And @jimmycarlos , this strategy is what we've been using since almost a year before you even started earning quests here xD

Legend even made a thread. Let me dig it out. Here (January 10 2015. Whoah...has it really been that long? )

Well, that's a beginner's mistake. But they will learn after some time. Like all of us did.

(6) YAY! YOU DID IT! *hugs everyone*

also, if you need help to fix the number of the pages, I can help you Gantic, you should divide the previous number of the page by 1.5, then subtract 43 pages, this works most of the times
