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!

93. Everybody edits sounds a little bit like Microsoft Office.

94. Haha, I definitely didn't do it any justice at all. It was a great game though.

95. Christmas is upon us! Even if it doesn't feel the slightest like it to me.

97. It's never felt less like Christmas than it has this year, a recurring theme over the last few years. Could be me hitting my mid-20's, could be that I live in Texas and it's been in the 70's to 80's for temperature on Christmas

98. I've gotten in the spirit due in part to people close to me shoving it down my throat.

99. Truely, it never felt less like christmas. My cat died last month, my 32 year old neighbour died at the beginning of the month, and a 35 year old coworker died last week. I hope the new year will be better.

100. Better to get into the spirit thanks to people close to you, than out the spirit thanks to the people close to you.

Anyways, merry early christmas with the 100! I'll write the Komissar.

101. Starting the new count since I can. Part of the non-Christmassyness is certainly the 15-Celsius temperature high, (6 Celsius low).

No worries, it'll all loop back together by the time I'm 80, laying on my patio chair, sipping, uh, shots of Rakija in my speedos in a 30-Celsius cold front. "Merry winter solstice! Now, say, lads, do you prefer your Solstice poles real or artificial? Nothing beats the real deal for me. That smell of fresh-cut silicon and machine grease... Ah, Solstice!"

I think this was the 2 nd... no, it was even the 3rd time we finished the count this year!

Nice, just in time for Christmas! Count is valid, merit to the new counter was handed out, and scoreboards updated. As always, notify me if you see something that's missing or incorrect.

@JimSlaps Just a small warning: several of your posts were pretty short, which can be seen as a reason for disqualification from the count, and your post with just the number and a smiley could be seen as spam and therefore reason to restart the count. I didn't see any egregious spamming or bad intent, and your other posts were perfectly fine, so in my opinion it's all good. Just be mindful of your posts in the future!

@sciller45 Did you post something on my profile? I'm just curious because I don't see anything, and I'd like to know in case my disqus was being weird, thanks.

-----

Anyway, I wish you all happy holidays, whether you plan to celebrate or not, and hope you're able to spend this time however and with whomever you want. I really appreciate you all for keeping this count alive, and hope to see you soon! Stay safe

4. Oopsie Daisy, I'd be mindful to make my posts longer in the future.

6. As a matter of fact, I did not, Komissar. I made the classic mistake of trying for something a little extra, and falling flat on my face.
