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!

39. @PLGuy I might not be very impartial when talking about F+tm. I just like them a lot XD. Glad you like them! I also recommend you to listen to Rosalía. She sings a mix of flamenco and trap, but it's so good (take my word, I usually don't like nor flamenco or trap).
Malamente, Pienso en tu mirá and Bagdad
I might have gone too far recommending this stuff XD
40. If only there was a forum section that was dedicated to music...hmmm.
41. What was that buzzing sound?
but Florence is a place in Italy
I'm sorry to tell you this, Yellowcat, but there are homonyms in our beautiful universe.
If only there was a forum section that was dedicated to music...
OK, from now on we talk about nothing.
@kalisenpai they sound great (especially that I like trap) but with my Spanish I can't understand much... I heard "listen to me now" in that second song's chorus. XD Flamenco and trap meshes surprisingly nicely. Would you explain briefly what are they about? If you feel like
42. @PLGuy
heard "listen to me now" in that second song's chorus
It actually says: "I think of your gaze, your gaze, stabbed, a bullet in the chest. I think of your gaze, your gaze, stabbed, a bullet in the". Kinda difficult to translate as she uses a lot of slang: mirá = mirada = gaze or clavá = clavada = stabbed, pinned or sth like that.
Would you explain briefly what are they about?
Sure, but in my next posts. If not, this one is gonna be too lond XD
43. I have obtained some time to write something again. @PLGuy you have gone silent since yesterday so I wonder what has happened to you? The messages look untouched in your mailbox.
Tomorrow I will be going back home from the vacation trip, can't wait to be back at the comfy zone of having good internet connection lol
44. @kalisenpai these are some drastic lyrics… I like them a lot XD Also music videos are top-notch. Please, tell us the story contained in them...
@AmyClyne I don’t have e-mail from discord (neither from AG for that matter) on outlook so I had no idea. I simply didn’t check discord. Also I didn’t know you wanted to chat, I told you all I remember from the books and games about these princesses. Good that you’re coming back
45. Aaahh!!! It's been months! I really need to work on my commitment to this...
Well, just letting everyone know that I haven't died yet. And I just wanted to help in the count. So yeah, I hope at least a few people here still remember me!
46. Hey everyone, it's a new counter!
I'm not sure if commitment would be the right word to describe doing CT100. More like, superior obligation!
47. Well, I guess so. I just need more friends and I'm kind of shy in real life so I like to come to the AG forums. It's a nice community. The problem is I keep getting to lazy to do it.
Also giving you a back-to-back warning.
48. So, to begin with, Rosalía's whole album (El Mal Querer, that could be roughly translated as "The bad love" is based on a medivial book that tells the story of a woman that marries a man and he's so jelaous and possessive that he locks her up in their house and he hits her. Quite a modern story. Each song of the album refers to a chapter of the book.
Malamente (translated as "Badly", but she uses it as slang) is the first chapter: Augurio (Augury). In this song, Rosalía sings that something really bad is going to happen, kinda like a spolier. For instace, the song starts with "Ese cristalito roto, yo sentía como crujía. Antes de caerse al suelo, ya sabía que se rompía", which translates as "That broken little cristal, I felt it creak. Before it fell to the ground, I already knew it was going to break", as a prediction that the woman (the cristal) was going to have a bad time.
I'm gonna stop here. I'll talk about the next one in other post XD
49. That's why we're here, Dragon, that's why we're here.
Or, at least, that's why I'm here. And apgc too, partly, if I recall correctly. I ain't making baseless assumptions.
50. Pienso en tu mirá is the third chapter of the book: Celos (Jealousy). She sings from the perspective of the man, singing that he's jealous of everything: the wind, because it touches her hair; the gold, because it touches her neck; the sky and the stars, because she thinks they're beautiful; the water, because it touches her lips. In the chorus, she sings what I translated earlier: he can only think of her gaze. Later in the song, Rosalía sings: "Cuando sales por la puerta, siento que no vuelves nunca. Y si no te agarro fuerte, siento que será mi culpa", which translates as "When you go through the door, I feel like you're never coming back. And if I don't hold you strong, I feel like it will be my fault", which cleary shows how posseisive he is, so much he doesn't want her to go outside anymore.
And all this explanation is only of the lyrics, because musically speaking Rosalía is also brilliant.
The last song, in the next post.
51. @abcdragon66 Of course we remember you! Great to see the Dragon back XD Actually, I even kinda started missing you slicing me in half just to turn me into a ghost... Psst… Nice ad of Shovel Knight in bio… :-P Didn’t play. Is it really thaaat gooood?
@kalisenpai I knew there must be some special pattern in her songs! XD If I got it right, you mean "The Story of Flamenca" (some chilling stuff). Ma'am, I must admit, I find Rosalía's project as brilliant
52. I promise this is the last one.
Bagdad is the seventh chapter: Liturgia (Liturgy). Bagdad is a club with adult themes in Barcelona, for reference. So, the song says that the woman is in the club, while bulerías (a type of flamenco) are playing. She's clapping her hands (as you do in flamenco), but she's so sad and so into hell (as Rosalía actually says) that her hands barely move, so it looks like she's praying. Praying for her hell to end, but it seems as if God wasn't listening to her.
Fun fact: the song uses a sample from Cry me a river, by Justin Timberlake. Apparently, he doesn't usually let people use his samples.
If I got it right, you mean "The Story of Flamenca"
Exactlyyy. Glad you like it
53. Back at home, feeling a bit tired from the long way home sitting in a car too long.. Now I don't know what to say so, hello!
