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!

45. What's better: to be good or evil? Well that's not a good question to start void's reasoning :-p anyway in RPG I find generic good so boring recently.

46.

danwar, I can't get him out. It's like he's haunting me. But the good thing is, he can't get out.

*to sciller* *takes powdered fog for later and winks back*

*to PLGuy* Well, that depends on your perspective. The void, for example, finds it better to be bad, but we- wait, are you implying that you want to be bad?

48. One more thing. sciller said:

"...winks and then carries on walking, whistling*"

And where are we going, exactly? To find more hidden locations?

49. It's a shame that I won't be able to do Fifty, but either way.
@PLGuy: IMO I rather agree with you. Alignment in most RPGs is mostly black and white even though in real life everyone is just shades of grey. I was simply stating to abc that sharing your consciousness is never the best option.
@abcdragon66: Anywhere to be safe from they who shall not be named.

50. Alright, let me get over the hump. I can't not agree with PLGuy. Plot twists can make everything fun. Just ask JK Rowling.

@abcdragon66 What's the saying? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

1.I'm restarting - there was an edit by @danwar123 and:

No editing. No counter may edit their post. If an edit tag shows on a count, the attempt is forfeit.

Yeah J.K. Rowling had one character that just blows mind but let’s not spoil the best thing in the whole saga xD

For shades of personality I’d point to like every character in Sapkowski’s works. George Martin designed many characters in his saga this way too, a great example is Hound. Some of these I just fancied:
- a turncoat of the evil side who posed a great power. An evil guy that did something that seems subjectively good atm, but can good guys really trust such opportunist?
- A dude that was born on the good side but flaws on his character are so messed up that nobody believes that he is able to make any fruitful effort for the good cause.
- Born on evil side but oppressed by his own folks for certain reasons. He didn’t become a psychopath though (according do Dexter it’s also genetic :-P ), suffering opened his eyes on bad ways of his own people while generating empathy for the victims.

2. Oof, I didn't even realize. To be fair, I woke up at 7 and fell asleep God knows when.

3. I saw the edit, but I didn't want to do anything. I don't know why.

4. Heh nobody likes to destroy a party :-P BTW as born on evil side I meant like: in a cult of demons. Not like: born in a nation that is evil. I think a writer shouldn't make whole countries as plain evil, unless he wants to show dystopia and create a race that enslaved other.
But anyway you get the idea what's the best kind of character for me. When you started RP-ing my wanna-be clockwork engineer was going to be one of those before I abandoned creating him :-P

Sorry for ruining the party.

6. I think I'll make a human character. Not like I'm abandoning my dragon.

danwar, it's fine. I've done it dozens of times.

I'm new and here to count to 100!

I really hope I don't screw this up, but at least we're at a low number!

8. @danwar123 The 30 second editing rule held water when, if you edited before 30 seconds, the edit tag wouldn't show up. Now, it shows up no matter how much time passed.

9. Seems like the rules make it as hard to get to 100 as the admins breaking the chain do!
