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
bold = counted 100, italics = previous winning participant, [#] = # of total wins, (#) = # of times counted 100 FULL SCOREBOARD
17. Do you have any true scary stories to share? They can be yours or someone you know or once knew. What did you think of my music teacher's tornado story? It's October, so let's talk about scary, spooky or creepy things. Don't go too far because there are kids here.
18. Yes, once when I was hospitalised I heard whispers in my ears at night. When I woke up startled, one of my relatives who was dozing in a chair swore they felt someone cross over their legs to walk to my bedside. No one was in the room apart from the two of us.
My brother once asked my uncle while we were out playing on swings about a lady who was standing in the dark nearby. No one was there.
19. I don't remember much about the time I was in the hospital; I was little. All I remember was being in the oxygen tent and one of the doctors, I think that was some small clamp he was holding. Yes, I was scared, but the rest of that night I don't remember.
20. (keeping details slightly vague) but I know someone who had a kid who, when he was about 4, developed an imaginary friend, I'll call Red. But it wasn't a normal imaginary friend, the visual description was similar to Ryuk from Death Note and he "lived in the fire." One notably creepy interaction he had with Redincluded the kid waking his mother up in the middle of the night and telling her "Red says I'm going to be an orphan in the morning." There were a few other similarly weird interactions from him as a kid as well. The imaginary friend is gone now, though
25. If you know the secrets of computer magic, you can try to help with the ruffle project to restore all the games with quests and restore the kingdom to its former glory!
3. The bones stop fusing around age 25 (my sisters and I have all passed that age). Even back in middle school, I was aware my pelvis was wide; when I was older, I learned that's the biggest difference between the male and female skeleton.
