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!

1. Ok this is getting too hard even without your interference. I mean at least cut us some slack guys. We shouldn't restart every time there is a post without a number, every time someone gets ninje'd, every time someone cheats, etc. The just thing to do would be to simply ignore these posts and continue. Otherwise you don't even need to post.

I understand counting to 100 is hard as there aren't too many active users participating in the count. But remember that you guys got up to 97, that's very close. Don't be too discouraged. :]
But, you can't expect us to allow everything and have no rules. You could just post 100 on the first time and win. What would be the point?

For the posts without numbers, I don't see a rule explicit stated in the rules that says you have to post a number. I suppose posts without numbers could be ignored and the next person to count, after a post without a number then could simply add one to the last post with a number. However, this is the Count to 100 thread does it really need to be explicitly stated in the rules that all (non-mod and non-admin) posts need a number?

1. No. I am not talking about allowing cheating or anything else. I am saying that cheating posts and others need to be simply ignored. We shouldn't just restart the count so frequently.

I mean in order to count to 100, we need 100 user posts. There is bound to be 1 small mistake in just 1 of these posts. What happens then? Just because someone got ninja'd for example at 95 (which is highly possible.) we need to restart all over? I simply don't think it makes sense.

For the posts without numbers, I don't see a rule explicit stated in the rules that says you have to post a number. I suppose posts without numbers could be ignored and the next person to count, after a post without a number then could simply add one to the last post with a number.


That seems ok.

3. While restarting as we screwed up due to being ninja'd, miscounting, or cheating makes sense, I don't see why we should restart due to someone not posting a number because they could be trying to mess up the count on purpose.

4. I mean your trial. Remember? I was the jury and snag the prosecutor and Seashark001 the defense attorney.

While restarting as we screwed up due to being ninja'd, miscounting, or cheating makes sense, I don't see why we should restart due to someone not posting a number because they could be trying to mess up the count on purpose.

That too. Though i don't think restarting on the other occassions also makes sense.

Fair enough. Then the earlier restart was because I posted

There have also been 2 edits in this latest count, so, you know...

3. You know Gantic did offer a rule where we ignore the users purposely messing the count. But only like 3 out of 3 users who were there actually agreed.
