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!

15. Hmmm... It makes me ... think? Before I start criticising (son of an artist, can't help it) I must say I liked this (quite a bit). If I understand it correctly, I can relate to it somewhat. It's like a story of a person who gently slips into insanity and is told about it by a fruit of their insanity, their alter ego, the reflection.
Maybe some of it was lost in translation, though? Because things like "overnight" and "all of these horrible things happened" sure hint at something. But whether it's a physical event or a thought or an anti-revelation of sorts remains a mystery. And so whatever remains clear is, well, the girl's appearance, her semi-suicidal, semi-homicidal tendencies, and the fact that she is talking to a reflection (or vice-versa). And this is simply not enough to hook a reader (in my opinion).
The jewel I saw in this story was, certainly, the idea of being unable to touch your reflection, and the way you developed it. But this jewel needs a more elaborate socket, I would say.
Sorry for not emailing you, I didn't expect to write such a wall of text here.
Once again, I criticise from the perspective of admiration.

You know what, sis? We should ge to know eachother a bit better artistically, and maybe make a shared thread here on AG to practice our writing. Like a cooperative sorta thing? Whatcha think?

20. been awhile since i've counted, but don't you need three or so words for it to count as a count with the numbers to appease the count of counts?
