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.

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!

Hmm, that edit looked a bit fishy to me. I could ask Gantic what he would do, but I just reset the count. :[
1. You know, I was expecting that, but didn't want to be a downer.
II. I thought editing your number was okay if it was within 30 sec.
3. Yes, but I don't think you did. Or even if you did, your second edit nullified it.
8. *Cough* last edited May 20 2014 06:37 pm by eliakith *Cough* In other words, it wasn't under 30 seconds.
Hmm, to be serious here, and sorry to reset the count, perhaps a rule change is in order.
When I look at your post it says "Posted at 6:36 PM" and "Last Edited at 6:37 PM" which is a minute difference.
Plus, edits under 30 seconds are supposed to stop the "Last Edited" flag from showing at the bottom of a post.
My guess is that either you only have 30 seconds from posting to make and save your edit. This means just hitting the edit button before 30 seconds isn't enough.
Or, something with the server timing and connections etc, doesn't keep the edit timer too consistent. It may have actually been under 30 seconds, but ended up being counted by the server as more.
I don't know if it still holds true, but when you submit a post Armor Games stops you from posting again for 30 seconds. But some users had timed it long ago and noticed that the time would vary from less than 30 seconds to more. It had to do with how often you refreshed the page or the servers or both things combined.
Anyway, this may mean there needs to be a rule change. But that would be up to Gantic I suppose.
I. What probobly happened is i posted it 2 seconds before it turned 6:36, and then I edited at 6:36, and took 33 sec to go to the servers. Or something like that.
3. It probably has to do with servers like someone said in the above post. For me the "Last edited" flag doesn't appear as long as I edit and save in 30 seconds.
You guys don't seem to have gotten much farther when I wasn't posting in here.
I. that's because you had your mod buddies fill in the slack.
