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!
SCOREBOARD

7. So, has anyone a new topic? How about languages? I'm currently learning spanish. I also tried some other languages, but I'm not very talented. So learning one new language at a time is enough for me.
8. It's October, so let's share some true scary stories. You can pick another topic if not enough people have stories to tell. One of my old teachers, here is the scariest thing that happened to him. He was a teenage when the sky turned green. His friends hid in the basement. Water came trough the walls and the place started caving in! The reason he lived, they were near a pillar. They found their way to the stairs and made it out before the place filled with water. I don't remember all the details, but that's what I remember.
10. My music teacher in elementary school (the man I was talking about) told us a lot of stories; sometimes they were related to what we were talking about. When he told us that story, he picked up his F sharp / G flat boom wacker and said that is what color the sky was. I have a scary story of my own; nothing life threatening happened, but it was still scary.
13. Doesn't quite count as a scary story per se, but the closest I can think of that I've had off the top of my head is from a few years ago. I was in my apartment late at night, on my PC playing games, my wife was asleep in our room, and all of a sudden there's really loud knocking on our door. A police officer came to check on us because apparently a couple units over in our building, someone was cleaning their gun and somehow managed to accidentally fire it inside their apartment. And if that doesn't count as spooky I don't care because my birthday is Halloween therefore all of my stories are spooky
14. I see how that scared you. I told everyone a former teacher's story now here's mine. It was at Summer camp and the evening activity got rained out. I will skip ahead to the scary part. My cabin mates and I still needed to sign up for our activities for the next day, so we went to the mess hall to do that. Lighting flashed; it looked like big cracks in the sky. We were scared, but I lead the other girls there and back to the cabin.
