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!

20. It will take me a while to find the old essay of mine that I talked about in my last post. I can tell you right now the black footed ferret was one of the animals in there.

22. Still have not. The essay was six pages long, not counting the work cited page. I did make something on the back of that page; it was all the animals in my essay. Do you agree poachers should lose their right to own guns?

@Widestsinger There's a million things that will cause the end of the world in the following decades, it is hard to keep track of them all.
@HalRazor I wonder what will cause the end of the world. But I'm sure it will be made by humans and we have a good chance it will happen in our generation.
Speaking of the end of the world there's very strong evidence to suggest that I'm actually Peter the Roman.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes
I AM NOT THE POPE AND THIS PROPHECY RATHER REAL OR FAKE IS NOT A LITERAL DOCUMENT. I am also not insane although it will sound that way until you read this all the way through. Granted I have experienced somewhat disturbing circumstances in my life, and I have been on prescription Prozac before. I can still reason, observe, and apply laws of probabilistic observation as well as anyone else.
Let me give you a brief timeline here:
- About a decade ago I saw or remember seeing Mary and Jesus on separate occasions. Not just in a dream though. I remember them ACTUALLY STANDING PHYSICALLY IN MY BEDROOM. (Granted I was on prescription Prozac at the time and that has been known to produce "fake awake" dreams, but at least you can see that I'm strictly honest. A sensationalist liar isn't realistically going to make his story deliberately sound weaker.) Mary was wearing white and Jesus was holding a glowing rosary.
-Fasting forward a bit. I spend over half a waking day praying rosaries on my bed for a certain intention and laugh all the sudden during the hour of 3:00 to 4:00. I actually think of a certain Armor Games intro cut scene while I'm doing this, and that is what makes me laugh.
-Leo XIV is elected and all of the sudden it hits me like a load of bricks. Peter the Roman matches my name perfectly. My real name is Peter Reiker (yes I know giving out personal information on the Internet is very bad form, but I consider you all at least my quasi-friends and these are VERY BIZARRE CIRCUMSTANCES); the "Reiker" in my last name is the "first reich" the Holy Roman Empire. I'm German American; ask HalRazor. I can't imagine that he isn't familiar with the basics of German history.
- After extensive prayer and research, I realize that many of the popes mentioned in this alleged prophecy (which is from the 16th century at least) match perfectly on what I call "the conclave hypothesis". This is that the first pope predicted is actually Alexander II the first conclave elected pope; a real prophecy wouldn't bother predicting anti-popes of course. Looked at from this angle EVERY POPE AFTER THE LAST POPE INNOCENT matches picture perfectly in some way as well as many popes before. "Jerusalem of Champagne", "French Viscount", "the fruit of Jupiter will help", "angle of the grove", "of an old city", "wavy man", and "guard of the mountains" are the best examples of all the pre last innocent popes that match perfectly in some way. I'M EMPLOYED AS A STATISTICAL PROGRAMMER; WHATEVER THIS ALLEGED PROPHECY IS (real, demonic, or extraordinary coincidence) IT IS NOT JUST THE PINK JELLYBEANS. That is sort an analogy for p-value hacking; keep experimenting with each type of jellybeans and eventually you will obtain a p-value that causes you to conclude that pink jellybeans cause cancer.
- And finally, for what was my prayer intention and why it made me laugh. My prayer intention was for the end of the mainland Chinese government and I was laughing because all of the sudden I was thinking of the Sift Heads World intro cut scene. Yes, the Sift Head World intro cut scene of all the beaver things. (Who says that God can’t have a since of humor?) As he is being zoomed in on Vinnie has got his machine gun on his bed (like my rosary), Leo XIV turned out to be a pope elected from Chicago, and Vinnie also has glasses (like me). Not that I'm a thug of course; hopefully I'm as far from Vinnie the thug in a literal sense as Xi is from Winnie the Pooh. ("Winnie" translates to "Vinnie" in Latin; Latin doesn't have any W's.) On top of all of that, white is Mary's Fatima color. That is her apparition for addressing Communist countries that bulldoze/obliterate anything Catholic (like mainland China). It is also the real reason why the Soviet Union ended (and probably why Russia lost during their present invasion of Ukraine despite the odds being apparently overwhelmingly in their favor.) "Consecrate Russia to my Immaculate Heart" Mary said during this apparition over and over, and then St. John Paul II consecrates Russia and the Soviet Union collapses within a decade. The glowing rosary might be a Lord of the Rings reference; mainland China looks exactly like Mordor if you put an ocean to the east of it. Frodo also laughs as he is going into Mordor exactly how I laugh at the Sift Heads World cut scene as I was praying my day of rosaries.
- Anticlimactically, of all the beaver things Trump (yes, I know forgive me for mentioning him) is somehow able to possibly predict that the next pope would be American despite the fact that none of the major pope contending cardinals were American.
So, here you are reading this and possibly not knowing what to think. I hope I have put forward enough evidence to prove non-insanity at least. Don't give up all that you have and follow me; keep trying to address climate change as if its a long-term issue. Atheists/agnostics make better alleged miracle fact-checkers anyway because of their beliefs; that is why the contemporary Vatican has consulted with Richard Dawkins during its miracle required for canonization process. They don't want every coincidence being thought a miracle like during medieval times. I love you all as people and wish you all the best whatever happens.

24. Even after reading that multiple times I don't think i'm intelligent enough to understand what that means, though I am proud of you for being able to say so much of your own personal information for the sake of your argument (which in my eyes makes you less crazy). I've always assumed the "saint" in your name was just a joke from a Christian but I was very wrong.

25. I don't understand what he means either. I got something we can all understand. Did you know ravens and crows can imitate the human voice? Did you know they're in the same genus?

26. Yes I did know that but since Saint spent all the time typing out those paragraphs i'd like to hear him clarify what he was trying to say.

27. What I meant was that I appear to be sitting on AN EXTREMELY EXTRAORDINARY sequence of events that appear to suggest that Leo XIV will be the last pope and I have a 900 year old plus prophecy foretelling me. I just don't know how to explain it otherwise. I mean extraordinary coincidences DO happen signifying nothing AND they aren't always experimentally repeatable. Please read every paragraph slowly and carefully. It may also require me to explain a lot of Catholic symbolism you probably aren't an iota familiar with (especially explaining each pope entry). You asked though. Not you @ShadowCloak1; @Widestsinger and @HalRazor asked.

28. I still don't get it, Saint. I guess I just don't know that much about that topic. I can tell you more animal facts you might not know. Did you know elephants can't jump?

29. Is it making you feel uncomfortable @ShadowCloak1? If the world is not going to end any time soon, ocean animals could sure use that giant block of plastics cleared out. Maybe use Greek fire or something. However, this would take a colossal, concerted undertaking and I just don't see anyone that interested at the moment. B2B Warning
