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!

22. @Hunter902 There have been counts where we reached 100 but didn't win because of posts without enough words. Please, write at least 7 words, or it might be considered as spam!

23. @kalisenpai is right. I don't want to get that close just to fail.

24. There haven't been and disqualified counts while I was here. At least to my knowledge. Let's try not to ruin the streak of flawlessness.

26. @sciller45 I've seen a couple of them, actually. And let me tell you, it's a horrible feeling to reach 100 and then don't win because someone didn't write enough words.

27. But can this happen with just one post or do many have to be like that?

28. Well, it really depends on how he's feeling. By that I mean the Komissar can summons the spirit of the game

Whilst spamming to win isn't technically wrong, it defeats one of the purposes of the game. To have ad hoc conversations. Therefore,
the spirit of the game is unfulfilled. Playing it like this is self-defeating. It would be like winning an arm-wrestling match against yourself.

The exact quote is:

5.2.2 spamming to reach the goal. Spamming is different from a spam post. Multiple short consecutive or semi-consecutive posts may not count for the purposes of reaching the goal.

Also, it's completely illegal to write the number or just gibberish with the number, and that could completely disqualify the count. Multiple short consecutive posts will also invalidate the count, however, the keyword is "multiple".

29. This one time, the count was invalidated because some wrote sth like:

25. 65

So, it was spam. And it was only one post.

30. Well, let's not repeat this then. We can hold a conversation.

32. Yes, true, but it is classified as gibberish. I have no idea why anyone would continue the count after this, or at least, continue the count without alienating the troll (I'm guessing) who wrote that.

Anyways, to keep a conversation going... If you could have a SINGLE video game object available IRL, which one would you choose?
