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.

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!

1. Not another restart! I was hoping this would be the one! What should we talk about now? Music, animals, the human body, or something else?

58. "So... You may not post without a number, but there are no consequences ?

On the surface, that's correct. However, users who repeatedly post without a number should be reported as suspected trolls." This statement says that you can post a message if it doesn't have a count with a good reason and was replied to by a moderator. However, the rules state that you cannot post without a number, very helpful rules!
Sciller is very well aware of the rules of the count and so am I and I realized that he was invoking (invoking?) rule 2.5

"2.5 No counter may post without a number or make a post without bolding that number if that number is not at the start of the post." This rule allows Sciller to do what he did as a completely valid count. I strongly believe that the count may continue as normal as you restarted because of a mistake you thought Sciller had made when his count valid. What he was doing was technically bending the rules for fun but it is stated in the rules that it is allowed and so the next message should start off with the count 59. After HahiHa responds. The rules of the count need to be changed for clarification with messages of what to do in situations like these or for updates like the fact that editing a comment isn't even possible. I do not fault you for restarting but I do want you to know @ShadowCloak1 (or anyone who doesn't fully understand the rules) that if you are not sure what should be done with a count (like a confusing or non confusing mistake/rule break) then you should wait until someone else comments OR you could go re-read the rules and have you next comment mention them OR could go on @HahiHa profile and ask him what to do as he is the commissioner of the count. I also just pinged him to hear his response to this situation.

Perhaps it's my fault for not passing on our longstanding tradition unto the young-uns. But the least you could do was ask before resetting.

2.5 No counter may post without a counting number or make a post without bolding that counting number if that number is not at the start of the post.
Case 1. Not Okay: We have to start back at the beginning.
Case 2. Okay: Uno. We have to start back at the beginning.
Case 3. Not Okay: We have to start back at 1.
Case 4. Okay: We have to start back at 1.
Case 5. Okay: Why are there no new posts here?

Anyway, best to start over now. Note the bolded "1." up there.
