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!

27. That's rough. I have the extreme luck of working from home. I only need to be awake by about 9:00AM

28. I'll be on a hybrid schedule soon, but I still think I'm expected to start work around 8:30 AM.

29. I find that I can't sleep late nowadays and I tend to get up earlier.

I hate reaching 30.

30. Speaking of 30. It comes for us all sooner or later. I still have some time but I'm hitting the big quarter-century next month

Same here. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), I started working right at the start of the pandemic. I have yet to experience a job where I must go to the office mon-fri.

I hate reaching 30.

Sometimes I forget how long this place has existed and how long you've been around.

32. Did you mean 30 years old or 30 in the count? Also, do you mind what the black rose poem is supposed to be about @nichodemus?

33. Funny how we view ages as we get older. When I was 13-14 I looked up to you, Nicho, 18-19 at the time, as being a well established adult. Now that I'm nearly 25 I see you saying you're 30 and think "yeah we're pretty much the same age"

34. Ah I view that a bit differently. 30 still seems quite far for me. I think I won't feel that way until I really get there. Or perhaps a few more life milestones then I'll feel that way.

34. I think the poem was part of my teenage angst period. I have no idea what it is about anymore it’s been a decade and a half.

I meant age wise, I’m always happy to hit 30 in the count.

Yeah funny isn’t it, we’re just all adults in the rat race now. Some of the older users must be pushing 40 or even 50 by now.

35. As I recall Ernie15 was in his mid to late 30's back when I was first active. But for all that, this is one of the only places in my life where I've truly felt like everyone's age was mostly inconsequential. That felt nice as a younger user
