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!

53. Actually Z is the best number because it is the last one and finishes the alphabet. (Ever heard of saving the best for last?)

54. Well I'll have you know ZZB! is SO much better. Why? Well, it has two full letters more! And not only that, it corresponds to the number 54! I win, you foolish mortals.

56. OBJECTION!

I mean...

- = 0
A = 1
B = 2
...
Y = 25
Z = 26

In this base 27 system, ZZB should be 26*27² + 26*27¹ + 2 = 19658, while 54 = B-

AVN = 1337 is a nice number
9165 is the funniest number in this base (LOL)
our year right now is BTU
watch out for the number 10994385, though, he likes to TROLL people

But a very, VERY big number is ENQWLTJ

that guy is the biggest number an "int" can represent o.o

63. Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury...
This man, uh, shadow thing is obviously mistaken; referring to a base 26 numerical system, when it is clearly a cumulative-additive alphabetical numerical system. After all, why would my client use alphabetical characters versus using numerical alongside alphabetical ones, such as with base 16.

I know my numbers relatively well. That's why I went to high-school with maths in its name.
Sadly, for some gottverdammt reason, my native language holds an influence over what school I could go to (was aiming for engineering).

All's well, though, 'cause it came in use. I remember being really stuck with calculating armstrong's numbers, when I realized the solution to my problem was an argumentative essay about the familial struggles in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

65. It sure is. It's also 8^2 or a full stack of blocks.
God, it's been a week already? I'll start writing the obituary and the will and dig the grave.
