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!

25. @helpo1 I also don't mind these 0s. I provided my argument, because of this quote:

@HahiHa

Well, technically, '02' could be considered invalid according to 2.5: "No counter may post without a number or make a post without bolding that number if that number is not at the start of the post." I guess it depends how accommodating I am

But I don't agree that "logic is all absolute truth". I think a paired down definition of "logic" is simply "a reasonable way of thinking". Someone could be complete wrong/false, but still have a "logical" argument

I meant logic as a tool, not all logical sentences. I meant that it is absolute and not relative. Logic is standarized, doesn't come under subjective opinions. It's not like something is true for some people and for other it's wrong - in logical sense some people will be right and other wrong, two opposing sentences can't be true just because people have other subjective view on them. Some logical paradoxes are kind of relative, but as they say "the exception proves the rule". Look up for applications of logic, from the top of my head: in Information Technology. If logic were relative our computers wouldn't work too efficiently. Most of the time they would contemplate and try do decide what's their actual view of what's 0 and what's 1.

Someone could be complete wrong/false, but still have a "logical" argument

Someone is wrong because his proposition sentences are wrong or deduces the wrong conclusion. (also if propositions are opposing that's another story). Argument might (should) be: valid, sound, and convincing.

28. I don't know, this topic is about everything, there were longer posts and crazier stuff going on. I found a great lessons of logic by Moegreche on WEPR if somebody's interested. I'll only add that I agree with @perin106 that:

Someone could be complete wrong/false, but still have a "logical" argument

Moreover someone could have unlogical argument and be in the right. But well... he/she needs a luck.

@Majestic_Fish what was the final decision?
