The original "This Thread is Currently About" is back! Yes, it's Count to 100!

HOW TO PLAY

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.

COMPLETE SET OF RULES
Please refer to the complete set of rules for additional information and examples of what is valid or invalid.
DiSCUSSiON THREAD
Please also check out the discussion thread for new gameplay or rule proposals or general discussion on the gameplay and rules of "Count to 100".

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!

39. Oh. Well, in that case, sorry for misconstructing your post. Even though no conversion should take 4+ years.

IMO, the best studio screw-up happened with pandemic games. If you don't know, they made "The Saboteur" (as well as the original SW Battlefront II) AKA Assassin's creed in nazi-occupied France. It might not have been perfect, but blowing up nazi artillery, blimps and other s*** while parkour-ing through nazi Paris and seeing random French people publicly assault nazi soldiers because you were an inspiration to them. It was fun as hell.
But, then, EA came. Add 2 and 2 together.

40. ^^^^ Look son, an idiot.

Today's update: Late night finish watching an esport tournament finals and played all day (like 7 hrs or so?) earlier today. Felt tired but somewhat happy for tomorrow's news :3 Can't wait to hear what's on @KatPryde's mind

1. The reason for restart = edit tag on that last post. We were writing about mobile games before, right? Funny thing - look what Blizzard is going to do. They make that Diablo 2.5 Immortal only for mobiles. The reaction of fans is priceless.

4. Diablo for mobile? I haven't hear of it, but I'm imagining everyone screaming at Blizzard for making it mobile exclusive.
Also, I sort of confused Diablo for DmC for a minute there. Still imagining everyone screaming at Blizzard. Just slightly less.

@AmyClyne Welcome to the club. As long as you remember to sleep every once in a while, you'll be fine. Trust me. I'm perfectly trust-able, right? ;D

Seriously, though. Go to sleep. If High School level math taught me anything, it's that if you don't sleep before a test you end up pulling numbers out of thin air.

5. My best formula for a good sleep = do as many things that you consider as developmental during a day. Often, it takes some imagination and creativity to use the procedure good_sleep(day, truth), but it's totally worth it! Here, a version for a standard brain console:

#include <iostream>
#include <NLPstream>
#include <time.h>

using namespace whatevah;

void good_sleep(string a, bool truth);

int main()
{
    string day, truth;

    cout<<"Did you do anything useful today?"<<endl;
    cin>>day;
    cout<<"OK, well... 0_0 but... it was developmental, wasn't it?";
    cin>>truth;
    good_sleep(day, truth);
    cin>>newview;
    cin>>newtruth;
    return 0;
}

void good_sleep(string a, bool truth)
{
    trannlp(a,string,thought);
    hotchpotch brain;
    
    if((a==negative)&&(truth==true))
        {
        string optimistic_lies = "Gaming develops various brain skills, there's no better thing to do.";
        a = optimistic_lies;
        cout<<a<<endl<<"Now, do you consider it as developmental? *wink, wink*";
        }
    else if((a==sweetlies)&&(truth==false))
        brain.sleep(28800000);
}

[code] 
#include <iostream>
#include <NLPstream>
#include <time.h>

using namespace whatevah;

void good_sleep(string a, bool truth);

int main()
{
    string day, truth;

cout<<"Did you do anything useful today?"<<endl;
    cin>>day;
    cout<<"OK, well... 0_0 but... it was developmental, wasn't it?";
    cin>>truth;
    good_sleep(day, truth);
    cin>>newview;
    cin>>newtruth;
    return 0;
}

void good_sleep(string a, bool truth)
{
    trannlp(a,string,thought);
    hotchpotch brain;
    
    if((a==negative)&&(truth==true))
        {
        string optimistic_lies = "Gaming develops various brain skills, there's no better thing to do.";
        a = optimistic_lies;
        cout<<a<<endl<<"Now, do you consider it as developmental? *wink, wink*";
        }
    else if((a==sweetlies)&&(truth==false))
        brain.sleep(28800000);
}

6. My formula for good sleep:
1.) If it's night (By that I mean up to 8:00), you're not too tired and you have nothing important to do, exercise. Tire yourself out a notch.
2.) Cool down. Literally and figuratively. Lower the thermometer. If you don't take one in the morning, take a mild shower (because I don't believe in hot showers). If you take showers in the morning, do whatever calms you down. Read a book. Work on that project you like. Solve a few quadratic equations, if that's your jig.
3.) Go to bed, close your eyes, say "Don't think" for about ten seconds, and, well, don't think. By this time I'm generally too exhausted to think. "Don't think" just further pushes me off the cliff of awake into the comfy, bottomless void of sleep, only to reemerge tomorrow. Before it used to take me hours to fall asleep. Now I'm nearly to the point of being "dead when I hit the pillow." Or maybe I'm just severely sleep deprived. Eh, don't matter. I mean, scientists are also the same dudes telling Diabetics to eat fructose. Pfft.

To me, asking myself "did I do anything productive today?" ends up with overthinking and wasting my life thinking:"I'm wasting my life". That ever happen to ya? Thinking about it is counterproductive. Like most of existential thoughts, if you want to be happy, don't think about it.

Oh, boy this is much shorter in the little box.
