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!

O Music, prod this
Brain into wakefulness and
Haiku creation!
At this point the author shows her lack of inspiration, which is obviously becoming a serious problem and attempts to resolve it with music. An indirect reference to a previous haiku is also made, since she talked about barely waking up before
Alright then...how do you plan on filling the space ?
88. I will fill the space with words of wisdom. Or nonsense. Or both.
89.
Twinkle, twinkle, star
So small and bright. Whisper songs
Of violent ends.
At this point, the author brings multiple references and previous haikus together, namely her attempt to wake up, the attempt to find some inspiration in music, and the violence described in the haikus inspired by pain, fear and death.
Fair enough, I like both xD
91. Ok fine. I will show my creative talent.
Meteoric fall
Shatters earth, raising choking
Clouds of acrid filth.
The author appears to be describing the destruction of Earth. The clouds will cover the sun and all life will die.
There. Wise and nonsensical.

That's a nice first try Eldu! But I would describe it differently. Namely:
*ahem*
In a horrifying climax, the author describes a hellish experience, probably induced by the nightmares she had while she was sleeping. It is often the case that we remember our bad dreams after we wake up! O_O
94.
Usurpers descend,
Claiming conquered destinies.
Future looks so bleak.
In the terrifying conclusion, the author describes the aftermath of her nightmares and how they have impacted her life. What we learn from our dreams we often use in day-to-day life.
95.
Usurpers descend,
Claiming conquered destinies.
Future looks so bleak.
My analysis is again a bit different
The nightmares described so vividly have something to do with the search for inspiration in music, as it is known this author loved the sound of Metal
97.
Kaleidoscope rose
Shimmers amongst the nothing.
Dancing colors, lovely.
As the author wakes to a brand new day, she compares the darkness of her dreams to the beauty of reality. Finally, the world is happy again.
98.

The sound of music, of whatever kind can arguably give the listener a sense of bliss. This is exactly what the author describes here
100.
Day of victory.
Obviously, the author is describing the achievement we have just accomplished.
1.
Hypnosis litters
The battlefield with corpses.
Day of victory.
And here the author-- aah, screw this. We did it! A count with no edits! xD
Well, since its possible, no edits at all will be allowed in the Count. The rules will be changed to reflect this. Thanks for playing. Will get on this latest one as soon as possible. Also, merit to everyone for a flawless victory (will not apply after the this attempt), assuming I find nothing wrong.

Connechitulations on completing a successful count to 100. You will receive a shiny new quest if you do not already have one. You will also receive a merit for completing a flawless victory. If you do not receive either within an hour or if I have made a mistake, please leave a comment in my profile comments, so that I can ignore it and pretend that I never make any mistakes.
