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.

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!

14. My dad's book, The Illustrated Dinosaur Dictionary is over 300 pages long, and it was written long before I was born. Dinosaurs discover recently are not in it. There is nothing that starts with X. The book does have information about other animals that live in the Mesozoic. It is still very useful despite how old it is.
16. Not as out dated as you might think. The information in there is mostly where and when they lived, the size, what their names mean, and if they ate plants or meat. True some of it is out dated; I hear dinosaurs might have been feathery instead of scaly like they show in the pictures. The book says their colors are unknown, but I heard we can now learn what color some dinosaurs were. Some information won't change no matter how old the book is; apatosaurus and brontosaurus were the same dinosaur, the former was used first, so that's the animals correct name. Also spinosaurus is known from an incomplete skeleton that sadly got destroyed during WWII.
17. The first written letters were developed by sumerians about 4000 B.C. - It's a pitty that humankind forgot most about its history before these days. In terms of evolution, this is just a second in time. The history of homo sapiens began 300.000 B.C, this means 98% of our history is only transferred by artefacts or legends. The evolution of dinosaurs began about 235.000.000 B.C. and ended apruptly at 66.000.000 B.C. (well, it did not end completely: Birds are direct descendants from dinosaurs).
18. I didn't know that. I knew about the meteor that caused the mass extinction, and the fact that dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds. Just letting you know I have a poster with 67 dinosaurs on it; spinosaurus is not one of them.
20. One of my sisters found it; I think she was looking though some old stuff in our basement. The poster puts them in groups based on how the dinosaurs are related. All it shows in the pictures is how big they were compared to a human and which of the three time periods they're from. I did use it for a school report once.
22. I never played those games. My essay was compare and contrast; I picked dinosaurs and dragons. The poster was just to say there are many dinosaurs. In my dragonology books, there are not even twenty species. Many dinosaurs and only a few dragons was one difference. What are the other difference? How are they alike?
3. When I wrote that essay, a classmate did a compare and contrast about cellphones and cigarettes. I didn't read her essay and I don't know what my other classmates compared and contrasted. Compare and contrast dinosaurs and dragons is a better pick if you ask me. Both are reptiles and lay eggs. Should we talk more about these beasts?
