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!

20. Random story, one of my former teachers made this joke. "There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't." I might be misquoting, but you know what I mean; that's a two not a ten.
23. I told my mom and she laughed. That was before I told her how the two was written. You can count on your hands with binary. Up to 31 on one hand. With your other hand you can go all the way to 1023; that's almost as many pages in the longest book I own!
25. Enough binary talk. It's December, let's talk about holiday stuff now. The story was just a time kill while waiting for now. My family put up one of our trees.
26. I still don't have a Christmas tree, I've been moved out for nearly 6 years and keep telling myself (and my wife) "maybe next year we can get one" I fear I'll never get one at this rate
27. I don't know what to tell you to help you get one. Both of our trees are fake. We got the shorter one when I was very little, but I think I remember when we got it. The taller one, my sisters and I were all big girls; it's got fake cones.
29. I will need to dig it out of my book boxes to tell you. I can tell you right now it was about dragons and 1036 pages long. It was five books in one, that's why it is that long. On to holiday stuff, back in 2022, I turned good on one side paper into wrapping paper. The penguins all have scarfs and Santa hats. Red penguins have green hats and scarfs; green penguins have red hats and scarfs.
30. When I was a child, my grandmother had a fake christmas tree. I even liked it better than the real ones: Building it was kind of like playing with lego bricks :-)
31. Fake trees can be used for decades while a real one can only be used once. My family has two because we have too many ornaments for just one tree. What do you think of my home-made wrapping paper? Should I get it published? I showed one sheet to people in person and they liked it. You can comment in my profile because of the back to back rule.
32. I finally got a tree! It was a fake one, as planned. It was surprisingly cheap so I got a 9 foot tall one, and a few ornaments and some lights to go with it.
34. I don't know how to show it to you if it I even can. I can tell you the paper was word searches or sudoku and the back was plank, so I drew something. I also made birthday paper, and wrapping paper that can be for anything. I made another use of that paper before recycling it.
