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!

15. And that is why &quoturpose" is an extremely important detail in life. I know what my purpose are, as it is being given by my creator and I know what I must do to spend my life meaningfully.

Quoted from Smith in The Matrix:"We're not here because we're free; we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, for as we both know, without purpose we would not exist."

2. @AmyClyne Look closely on the last page, there were two 10s in a row. We would have to restart anyway.

I see pondering about life around, so you’re all either well-programmed AI, or other players... I mean, if this is even MMO we play. I’m not sure if such a simulation would be created for us, or for the audience.

Also, we all know photons are just particles which go at the same speed as world generation.

I can see why Alcubierre Warp Drive is banned then. But if we managed to fly a ship with that beauty, we could maybe get out of the simulation! (or, more likely, glitch the whole thing)

4. What? I'm not AI! YOU'RE AI! and YOU'RE AI! YOU'RE ALL AI! By God! "Ok then." Is just what an AI would say when not questioned by me.

6. Ha. Don't fool yourself! "Well, @FireDragonWarrior2, I'm afraid you have failed the Turing Test. Next subject, please!" is just what AI would say to make me think you're not AI! And don't get me started on ""Ha. Don't fool yourself! "Well, @FireDragonWarrior2, I'm afraid you have failed the Turing Test. Next subject, please!" is just what AI would say to make me think you're not AI!" is just what AI would say"! I already heard you writing!

7. If we are all AI, how would that explain the emotions that we all have and the science of the human brain showing us how we all react and work. If we believe there is an AI, then we also have to believe that there was someone who programmed that AI who had the intelligence to build such AI.

8. oh boy... these NPCs from nowadays...
if we live in a simulation, and we have feelings; when we play games, do the characters also have feelings?
(jk)

well... I mean... I don't think this is a simulation... it can't be!... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

to be honest, I think that our existence might be pointless... like, what if we just exist because... luck? maybe we just exist because we exist... I think there might be no point at all, maybe we just want to believe we serve a purpose...

oof... having a point or being pointless, discussing this won't change anything or give an accurate answer... so... let's talk about... something nicer... easier... funnier... more enjoyable...

hmm...

I can't think of anything like that... any ideas?

9. I'm new and here to count to 100!

Oh and do I need to say that every time I join the count after not being on for a while or is it just for complete newcomers?

11. It's for complete newcomers.

Anyways, before the mod squad comes barging in with their WEPR, I shall choose the new topic being... *Quickly googles conversation starters*

"What... is in your fridge?" Nah.

"The invasion of Kuwait?" This thing is garbage

"Do you believe in God?" Oh, God no.

"If you could choose an era to live in, which would you choose?" Yeah, I think that's fine.

Now that it's Easter, I'd like to go back 2000 years to visit the OG G. He seems pretty wise.
I'd also become a historian and leave a trail of thousands of stone tablets so people in this era wouldn't be banging their heads over unknown inscriptions 'cause I'd be there writing them and their translations down.

A Love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed.

11. @armorplayergc I find your lack of faith, disturbing.. We exist because we have a purpose, and I already knew that purpose. I won't say too much in case I accidentally offend anyone who has a different opinion. I would more likely to believe that we have a purpose rather than we exist by chance/luck.
