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!

I meant to say that he was going to gain money via a new vaccine
@kalisenpai Where did you find info about that? I couldn’t find it on wiki. Maybe you mistook vaccines for “diagnostic kits�
Until you read the article. Some children already had autism (before even being vaccinated) and the number of children he used was extremely low (hence, statiscally irrelevant).
I didn’t read his article. I assumed that it had to be convincing to be published in The Lancet. If it was convincing for Lancet’s editors who are specialists, it was all the more for the parents. Now we can debunk his article retrospectively – thanks to other scientists who showed the selectivity of his sample. Wakefield manipulated facts.
BTW, anti-vaccination movement dates as long as vaccines themselves. Autism was a good excuse to deny the progress of medicine. Although, as Amy said, there is a lot more known about that disorder now, it still remains a mystery.
@sciller45 After seeing that screenshot, I wonder if that @Majestic_Fish ‘s link wasn’t a sarcasm as well, but better concealed.
@AmyClyne I think it’s a nice idea for a forum game. Although, I don’t know which fantasy character I could be right now, there are so many great options.
3. *DANG IT!* In other news, I think I get it. Another trait that would go with Captain America, however, is pottymouth! Some quotes from Avengers: Age of Ultron prove my point:
Is no one going to address the fact that Cap just said 'Language?'- Tony Stark.
Cap: Fury, you son of a *bleep*!Need I say more?
Nick Fury: You kiss your mama with that mouth?
But mine would be... Ummm... I'm gonna say... (Tries for a few hours to figure it out) King Arthur. I try to keep people happy, and I view everybody as equal (round table? If I'm not making sense, I apologize.) I also try to stick up for people.
4. @kalisenpai I’ve just read that wiki to the end :-P So there were 12 more specialists with Wakefield that’s one thing for his “credibilityâ€. Editors from the Lancet weren’t really convinced with that sample – for them the scientific limits were obvious. So what? Wakefield knew what he was doing - that parents will panic and stop vaccinating. Now IDK if I would get duped or not, it's not my field... You certainly wouldn't.
IDK which character I wanna be, but I know who I turn out to be. Deadpool.
5. I just don't get it. I edited the post within 30 second timer, just changing a letter doesn't need 30 second. The Complete Rules, go to No Editing section, it clearly says editing is not allowed after 30 second but I never used up 30 second. I find it unfair, can someone check this for me?
6. It used to be like this, but nowadays the edit tag shows up when you edit. No more 30 second timer like before. Sadly, everyone learns this the hard way.
7. @PLGuy for some reason this isn't in the wiki, but Wakefield, years before the article, patented the vaccine I talk earlier. Maybe he wasn't the only person involved in the creation of the vaccine, idk.
Now IDK if I would get duped or not
Well, I actually understand why parents stop vaccinating. In the end they only want the best for their child(ren). I understand that they want all the information in order to take a good decision. But I do not understand why they take more seriously a blog online rather than the facts that a doctor can give them.
8. @kalisenpai In medicine we should have trust and deference with doctors and scientists, there's no doubt about that. Such blogs build conspiracy theories, fed by Wakefield and other parascientists. Finally, I found on wiki about his published patent application. He didn't submit that patent, but you were right all along - it was going to be a measles vaccine. ;-)
9. @AmyClyne I've never had that issue. Maybe it's a glitch? I've edited a couple of times in this thread within the 30 seconds without a tag showing. But hey. It's just a game. Don't stress too much over it.
Edited by sciller45 1 day ago
You did? I highly doubt it. In fact, to prove it, I will try it right now! Oh, and, 10
11. Okay, so general warning, notice that sciller didn't actually edit. Just in case some of you feel the urge to reset.
12. Is the general warning really needed? I have a feeling "Edited a day ago" Should've put anyone off.
13. How'd you pull that off? Posted before you edited? Eh. But I have managed to avoid the tag. Could've been a fluke, I don't know.

15. I planned editing this post exactly a year ago. Finally, my evil scheme of breaking this count can be accomplished! *long, bloodcurdling laughter*
And no, there's no way of avoiding an edit tag. Even if you edit a post after 1 second.
