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!

7. ...That wasn't skip counting. If anything, it was JACK, breaking the No back-to-back posting rule.

Sorry to break your count, but I found out some interesting information about editing posts.

I ran some tests and here are my results.

If you do not want the last edited tag to appear in an edited post:

- You must edit and save your post within 30 seconds.

- You must save your edit within 30 seconds. This means hitting the edit button within 30 seconds but not saving until after 30 seconds will cause the post to have the last edited tag.

Keep this in mind also:

- Refreshing the page after saving an edit has not effect on the last edited tag. This means you only have to save your edit within 30 seconds, but you do not have to change the saved button back into the edit button (with a page refresh) within 30 seconds. Only saving the edit matters.

- You always have a full 30 seconds to make and save an edit. This means that if you make a post at 729 PM and then edit and save your post at 705 PM, the code will see this as within 30 seconds. The code does not consider this as a 1 minute difference.

Those were the results for my computer. I don't know if being on different computers, operating systems, internet provides, or what not will change the results, but I am confident that the key here is to edit and save your post within 30 seconds, from making the initial post, to prevent the last edited tag from appearing.
