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
It was discovered that chess is in stark contrast to the EU policy about gender, racial, religion and social equality because of the following:
it propagates violence (it is a war campaign)
it is racially motivated (whites try to to destroy blacks and vice-versa, while whites even have the first-move advantage)
in a whole chess set (of one color) there is only one lady (Queen) and it has to obey and protect the king - feminists protest
it advertises Christianity (Bishops) - atheists and other faiths representatives protest
it causes slaying of innocent horses (Knights) for the sake of other people's good - PETA protests
there are Twin Towers (Rooks) on the each side of the chessboard - insensitive reminder of terrorism, especialy because they can be taken down by any piece, including an ordinary pawn or a shooter (Bishop) - the USA protests
change of gender is only possible for pawns, and only once they reach the other end of the chessboard (while most of the candidates are murdered on their way) - LGBTI communities protest
pawns are the class which is most often sacrificed for the common good - bad influence on the future HR officers and managers - labor unions protest
pawns can be changed into other pieces after reaching the other end of the chessboard, but not vice-versa - deliberate disposal of the working class - socialists/communists protest
pawns can be changed for horses (Knights) or towers (Rooks) - possible human trafficking or slavery
