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!

8. @PLGuy Idk what happened, but I think it's just an error, as there are people who have very little quests/merits and have an insane amount of points

9.

But queens also have their advantages. Just wrap your king around your little finger, and you rule the kingdom

PL... what are you saying? o.o
don't forget we are kings too! =/

Well, there are more kings than queens, so, some kings have no queens... hmm... I'll be one of them... in my kingdom, I rule everything by myself

(sorry, I didn't want to offend any girls here, you girls are awesome, but I'm afraid now...)

lol

10. @AmyClyne Yeah, I meant my last post wasn't a B2B. I'm not arguing with the reset.

11. @kalisenpai Very weird indeed. I have no idea what’s going on? Although, I didn’t see anyone complaining. I won’t be the first, I’d say I’m in a better position right now, if ye know what I mean *wink, wink*

@armorplayergc Maybe so, but also it may be like those queens have an equal number of kings to choose… XD Or as many kings as they want and whenever they want. Man, I’m building stronger walls, PL ain’t no go anywhere! :-P

13. I can help you, but on your profile. Just write down everything and I'll explain in as simple terms as I possibly can.
Also, do we go on with ash being disqualified or reset?

(not a stopping post)

@sciller45 I see what you mean now. Sorry for misunderstanding.

So, as I see it, it was correct to ignore dragonmaster's numberless post and continue with the count, as it was neither a mistake nor spamming. What I am not entirely sure about is what effect this would have for dragonmaster. The post itself didn't break any core rule and thus was simply non-participation, but he also made other valid posts. Would he therefore have counted as successfully participating? Not yet sure, I'll have to think about it. But it wouldn't have had any impact on the count itself, if that was your main worry.

2. @HahiHa, it was actually a mistake. I thought I had a number there, so it was supposed to be a count. However, I'm not sure it matters, as the count containing the post in question has been discontinued, the game having reset several times since then.

3. It should be mentioned in that rule - only trolling posts can be ignored, mistakes made on purpose. I see no reason for ignoring normal mistakes. And with numberless posts, most of the time it's obvious when mistakes are on purpose. I mean OK, be it a new user or an old chap that just wants to break people's fun - we can ask the culprit for an explanation or ask the Komissar.

Meh, I don't like the ranking bug anymore. There's no longer Queen/PL/Queen sandwich on 21-23. A new king arrived outta nowhere.

4. I am making a very significant effort not to break the rules. This isn't B2B, I've got my number, and I'm going to make absolutely positive I'm not ninja'd.
