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!

No need to restart for this post - Count Commissioner Clarification time!

I haven't found a single line in the rules that it wouldn't be allowed. @HaHiHa can you clarify this problem please You can PM me if you don't want to reset the count.

- You need to restart the count as soon as a mistake occurs. Posting the same number twice, like when you're ninja'd, counts as a mistake.
- Trying to hide or correct mistakes, like editing or deleting a post, is cheating and forbidden in this forum game. The rules do not contain an extensive list of what constitutes cheating. But deleting has always been a no-go. It is also against the spirit of the game, as it undermines the team effort produced by your peers in order to reach that sweet sweet 100.

I would like to add that encouraging other people to cheat is also frowned upon, and would thus kindly ask you to refrain from doing that in the future.

i didn't read all the rules and full list, but i assume using multiple account to count alone isn't allowed and considered as "cheat". but i think mods/admins can easyly notice this kind of cheat

Counting alone with multiple accounts is totally cheating. Not only that, but it would break the general site rules as well. Rule #14 of our Rules & Guidelines gives a detailed account of what is and what isn't allowed with an alt account, including this bit: "This alt account can not be used for commenting, chatting and/or forum posting and needs to have its messenger closed." Note that having an alt account is allowed, as long as the rules are respected.

20. I'm still wondering if my alt. accounts encountered some kind of a bug or is that automatic blocking of disqus... I thought that's blocking other accounts with the same ip number, but maybe I'm assuming it wrongly.

22. Not sure why you want to have alt accounts, it's hard enough to have a single one

23. @PHLHimself I've already told it - I needed them in Swords and Potions 2. You know, there are energy limits like in King of Towers. It's not bad for The Last Stand: Dead Zone - to speed up buildings.

1. @memo0o96 ... and again. Told you about refreshing before posting:

Hello and welcome in our arrays! One tip on start maybe? Copy your posts and refresh one more time before submitting it.

2. Hmm you see there was another page so: check for new pages, always 15 posts are on 1 page. Also check if you have #reply[number] in the url. If you have it that means, that after refresh you won't see new replies.

(3) - that depends on how you refresh. For example, F5 works fine. Enter, of course, doesn't.

4. Oh, so that makes the difference. For a few months I erase the reply number as a habit.

5. better check (like i did just now) the page you are on when you want to post, maybe you are not on the last page even after your refresh (like the last time i reseted the count) and after checking the first, better check a 2nd time just to be sure, especially when the count is high

6. I keep saying that reflex makes a difference in this game. Luck is one thing but: if you post 5 seconds after a refresh, you have 2.5x bigger chance to get ninja'd than if you post 2 seconds after refresh. It is situational and another refresh might even screw the count, but reflex definitely helps every time.
