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!

2. Thank you so much @Widestsinger. Mods/admins can now count with the rest of us; that rule has now unofficially changed, although the official rules haven't been updated yet sadly.

3. I'm not sure if we had to restart. I did not find the correct rule, but according on @HahiHa on page 5042, it is allowed to ignore spam. And since SirLegendary intentionally broke the rules without being a mod or admin (being a knight is great, but it is something else), I think we may continue. Well, we already restarted, but for future counts I would like to know if this was correct.

I've just played "Battle of Gondor". It feels strange that they are only available at other sites (and I think this was not because of the Flash-Issue.. maybe it was when AG changed its name for legal issues). I think this was the first armor game I played. It took me a long time to notice that GoG changed into AG. Good old times :-)

Reminds me of my C64, these were also good old times.

Or the good old Atari 2600 Times.

Well, looking back, the good present times always became good old times :-)

@HalRazor SirLegendary's post is a valid post and does not break any rules, it seems they were just confused about something which, in fairness, is unusual for the Count. They didn't need to restart*, but imo it was clearly not an attempt to intentionally troll / break the count. Spam is stuff that has nothing to do with the count, and usually doesn't even start with a number. No, this was just a simple mistake.

*I did add a caveat about mods being allowed to count in the OP, but I admit it's not immediately visible especially for long-time users accustomed to Team Mods being full-time troublemakers... but I'm certainly not going to rewrite all the rules stuff.

4. Welcome! No problem. I thought it was intentional, because you said we had to restart without writing the reason. When the forum was more active, there were people who did such things for fun.

5. I'm a lot less enthusiastic to count with the official rules on this thread at least not being changed. How are the new-old timers to avoid similar mistakes in the future?

9. Clams have never been this happy before; then again to my knowledge clams have never counted to 100.
