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
82. I was able to stay Covid free during the initial waves. I am fairly certain I got the "Omicron" variant during its first run though, and I am thankful that I didn't have serious symptoms.
83. Somewhere in this very thread, at the very beginning of 2020, you will have young Sciller telling everyone he thinks the whole Covid thing will blow over like Ebola. Lol. Lmao. Roflmao.
87. My family fortunately didn't suffer from COVID-19 at all, despite the infections. Rather, the Pfizer vaccine gave me side effects that I never got any help with because of the turmoil at that time. I am not an anti-vaxxer; I am only mentioning this because that was my experience at that time. As for my condition, it improved with exercise.
88. I hate anti-vaxxers! Don't they know they are putting their kids and others at risk? Some people can't get vaccines; some of them have weak immune systems. If they are too weak for the vaccine, the sickness can easily be deadly!
89. The healthcare profession welcomed politicization during COVID that permanently damaged its reputation and authority with the public. I have never been an anti-vaxxer, but I am extremely sympathetic towards people who do not trust the "experts."
91. Just for fun Sciller, I found that Ebola post you were talking about. Page 5006. Ismael is on that page also, noting concern about COVID's prospective impact on the global economy. One take that aged like wine, and another than aged like milk. xD
92. For what it's worth, nobody could have known what would happen. There were talks in my area of the highways shutting down and only allowing people in or out of the city for essential business (like semi trucks) so I rushed and got married 2 weeks after getting engaged just in case. There was also a lot of naive optimism that it would be a quick 2 or 3 week shutdown and then everything would be normal again. I think deep down most of us knew that wouldn't be the case, but we liked to hope, the world seemed a little brighter when we could still do that
93. Yeah, I completely agree that no one could have predicted the extent. I remember the initial lockdown being two weeks, which was extended a handful of times before turning into "locked down indefinitely." I feel that some of that hopeful brightness was lost and never returned.
94. For what it's worth, I never did go to Venice. Though I have since gone abroad a very long way to buy alcohol in Hungary. And, I suppose, bathe with the hairy old Hungarian men in Harkany.
