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!

64. well, we talked about Deep Sleep, now, how about The Last Door?
65. So ends my attempt at fighting off both the inner and outer demons.
66.
Swollen, throbbing pain.
After nightmares and dreams, (Fear and Bliss work as inspiration in each case respectively) the author is here inspired by the emotion of pain, specifically a literal or metaphorical contamination that causes pain.
69. Having lost total track of this debate, I am now merely filling in spaces.
70.
Hamster waits, but
I doubt it matters...
In contrast to the nature of the previous haikus, the author here draws inspiration from something less deep. A part of the routine, involving one of her pets. Possibly going for a smooth transition, a less important matter before the climax!
72 *uses knife to peel an orange*
also, if you need to buy Filler material, I can sell it for free
73. I have plenty of filler material. Mostly just me humming Christmas songs and contemplating life.
74. Eldu, you can join me in analyzing the haiku master's creations
Huggly is blanket, blackness
Blinds tired eyes of grief.
Now back on track after the transition in the previous haiku, here the author continues in the same pattern, this time writing some verses about exhausting need to sleep
76. Unfortunately I am not haiku grand master. I do like hamsters though.
77.
Sleep will elude me;
Hamster brat will make sure of
That.
What an excellent combination! The author flawlessly combines the last two haikus by showing how the seemingly normal pet issue can prevent someone from sleeping despite the overwhelming need to do so! O_O
Also, Eldu, you don't need to be a haiku master. I've only written one in my whole life, yet, here I am, a scholar hard at work xD
79. Alas, should I try to analyse the brilliance of this masterpiece, I would fail to do it justice.
80.
Dratted sun! Too bright!
Let me sleep past sunrise, just
Having finally attempted to sleep, despite horrors and the hamster issue and possibly hoping to delve in the wonderful strangeness of positive dreams, the author is awakened by the sunrise without enjoying enough sleep.
Doesn't matter if you fail or succeed, as long as you make it sound pompous and epic
82. But I can sound pompous and epic anyway, without having to ruin such a work of art.
83.
I wonder, will the
Sun be risen for Doom, when
We finish this count?
Here the author addresses a specific person in her life, also breaking the 4th wall by addressing a reader directly (who happens to be that person )
But you are not ruining it! You are only expressing your own interpretation of it
