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!

23. Ah, water. Ever noticed its taste depends on its temperature? Lukewarm is different from cold and hot.

25. Hunter902's Random Fact #43:
Room temperature water/Warm water is actually better for your body than cold water. When you drink cold water, your body has to go through a whole process of warming up that water for your body to use it. Whereas when you drink warm water, your body doesn't have to waste as much energy warming up the water you drink since the water you have consumed is already warm enough.

28. Cold water is the worst, it makes my teeth shiver in pain. Maybe I've just got sensitive teeth though...

29. Sciller45's Counterfact:
A calorie is the amount of energy needed to heat a gram of water by 1C. Therefore, drinking 2 litres of ice water a day will require your body to heat up 2000g by 37C which equals about 74 (kilo)Calories a day. Considering most people are overweight/want to keep off the weight, it'd be slightly healthier to consume colder water.

Second of all, AFAIK it's valid

Third of all - Not just cold water. Any sudden alternation between hot and cold makes my teeth feel like they're being pulled out without anesthesia. That's why, whenever I drink something cold, I just shove it down my throat without letting it touch my teeth.
Still haven't realized how people eat ice-cream sandwiches. That and how people can bite into ice cream bars.

30. Perhaps you guys have had white tooth-sealings? I have heard that they make your teeth very sensitive to cold temperatures.

31. I for one enjoy drinking cold water. Then again my metabolism is faster than the Flash.

32. Tooth sealants? Nah. I've only gone to the dentist to pull out a shattered baby tooth and baby teeth that didn't want to fall out. I'm just glad they're still going strong.

33. I've never been to the dentist before because of my dad being so cheap and not wanting to "waste money going to the doctor when you're probably fine.

34. Yeah. I know the attitude with dads and doctors. My dad had kidney stones, but when we wanted to get him to a doctor he was saying "Nah, I'm fine" while laying on the bed grunting in pain.
By wanting to go to the dentist, do you mean like a yearly check-up or?

Watch out for B2B

36. @sciller45 I just mean in general. I've never gotten my teeth looked at or been to a yearly check up. I keep up with my oral hygiene pretty well without going to the dentist before, but one of these days, probably in college when I've eventually saved up enough to go, I'll go for the first time ever.
