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!

78. Don't be surprised by that fact. Check my profile; I have not been here as long as you. The last thing I typed in there about myself is what should shock you. Leave a comment in my profile so I know you've seen it.

1. On my end I didn't see your guys' numbers (Shadow and rida) just 77 so that's why I typed 78. Sorry...

2. If on the "forum games" page, always click the little grey "last post" text. Otherwise, enter only from the front page of the forums. Each page has 15 posts. Measure twice - cut once.

3. I'm mad now that we got this far and need to restart! True, I made the same mistake but it was early enough that it was not that big of a deal. If a forum has that many posts on one page, check the next one to see if there are already posts on it.

5. I think the "Last Posted" button is delayed because on my end it said the last post was 3 hours ago and not a couple minutes ago so that's who I was replying to. Also for some reason all my comments aren't showing up on my page so I can't access my comments easier.

6. really... just make sure that before you leave a comment you click to go to the next page (in this case it would be 5223) and then go back to the previous page to make sure you won't slip up.

7. A song from the musical from when I was in 3rd grade, "If you learn from your mistakes, it will make you strong." I learned that from when I made that mistake. We can try learn from other peoples' mistakes. Now let's pick a topic. Music, animals, genetics, or miscellaneous facts? Feel free to pick others.

10. How do you get merits? I remember reading about that somewhere on this site, but I don't remember where. A miscellaneous fact; bad word symbols are called grawlix.

11. I think they're rewarded by site staff to users who do good/helpful things.

Twelve. (This is a valid post. Please continue.) They're awarded for game reviews, game guides, CT100, various competitions. Used to be there were armatar competitions and rap competitions and debates and How you is Gantic, but, well... There haven't been any the past 7 years.

And yeah, sometimes for good behaviour, sometimes 'cause I guess the mods just like ya, and I believe they used to be more common in the early 2010s. Now I doubt you see much merit-making past the Count.
