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
7. Conspiracy! Sacrifices! Everything is messed up with the counters today! I don't care for back to back it is just #5! We need some order. Get your heads together
3. Stop this late edit thing or we'll just keep restarting. It doesn't matter if I summon @Gantic or @UnleashedUponMankind to restore order if we never make it past the 10th post!
And no, sacrifices don't restore order. They just spread chaos. Aaaand, the Dark Gods reward us with power. Ascension in Daemonhood. Immortality
Literally, I am fine with Sacrifices, just do it to someone who deserves it! Saphire doesn't make mistakes now! So I vote for ScrewTheLag!
(see @JACKinbigletters? I have corrupted everyone in this thread! What are you going to do now? Accept the supremacy of the Dark Gods!!!)
Saphire, do this too and maybe we can stop them from barging in to your house to summon the almighty Darkfire (who's managed to participate in every count, yet he's not as active as SirLegendary or helpo!)
5. Hey guys, that was quite an event last night. At least now I know the site is programmed to crash whenever someone makes an attempt at the 100th post to prevent edits.
I think I'm going to wait a while before I make another attempt like that.
Good luck everyone
