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!

Welcome back, SirLegendary, and join our mourning. About 9 month ago Armorgames decided to let their legendary flash games fade away, and in my opinion this was also the decision to close it down. Technical solutions to enable flash were available, but were suppressed and banned from the forums. There was no free speech in terms of technical facts. When the browsers removed flash in January, I wrote manuals on how to still use flash and even receive quests, but they were deleted without any reason. I was very disappointed. Then the flash games were removes from the html-pages (but the .swf files were still available and runable). Armorgames decided to remove them without any technical necessity.
When all the stuff started, the moderators (or whoever) put much effort into deleting posts about technical solutions. Back then, I hoped that there would be a return to something like an flash emulator (Newgrounds and Kongregate have such solutions). I was wrong, AG decided to die.u

Still, there is hope. Last week I played some 40 years old A2600 games on my laptop. And this is much more difficult: A2600 had a totally different hardware. And there was no software, even games were hardware. There are already some flash-emulators (well, only passable good), and I'm sure I will still play flash in the 40-years-away future.

So this is my eulogy for Games of Gondor, which is called since 2005 Armorgames. You accompanied me about 17 years of my life, and I will miss you. Your heritage will live - like any artificial object - in its numberous mirrors and replications. See you again on the next site or emulator! So long, and thanks for all the fish!

2. Am I reading that right? They took down even the few Flash Games that were once compatible after the Great Fall of Flash?

6. Ooh. It's Steam Halloween sale, isn't it? I've been playing Hyper Light Drifter. It's beautiful and likes throwing great big landscapes of cities and fallen titans at you. And it's difficult in a really good way. Fast and punishing for all parties involved. Mostly it's you who gets better, but there are upgrades here and there.

Heir is great, too, but it might be a newer flash game. It involved you climbing massive giants, then at the very end, you'd slay them and the camera'd pan out. Loved it.
You can get tens of hours of Serious Sam games for less than 10 buckaroos on sales, but Serious Sam is a 20-year-old cult game so YMMV.
F.E.A.R. is awesome, too. Horror FPS with AI that actually employs tactics. They'll have a heavy keep you suppressed, then send a few guys to flank you. Ah, but you have slow-mo powers. It's great fun. Alma is spooky, but after FEAR 2's ending, I can just crudely joke the fear away.

Y'know what? I say we now count down as well! Double count, this time with no rules except that it shall go down by one - into infinity and beyond!
