This is a discussion thread regarding rules and gameplay of 'Count to 100', so that the count isn't frequently interrupted and restarted when a mod posts.
Posts not on topic will be removed.
Were not talking about the rules
Now, I don't know if I just don't understand this rule, but I think we should just get rid of the anti-P1 P2 P1 P2 Rule. It just doesn't make sense.
I agree with both proposals because proposal 1 is a good idea, and proposal 2 enforces proposal 1.
Edit: @Pieguyme, the rule against back-to-back posting was created to prevent two users from dominating the count.
@Pieguyme: P1 P2 P1 P2 rules is for several reasons:
1. It's easy enough for two users who are both free at the same time just to just alternate and finish up in a couple minutes, which is not challenging at all. Two users would just start chatting to get to 100.
2. This makes it more of a community effort to reach a common goal. Coordinating three people minimum is harder than two.
3. There were a lot of arguments as to what was meant by back-to-back in the original popular thread whether it was P1 P1 or P1 P2 P1 P2. Since the older mods interpreted it as P1 P2 P1 P2, that's the way it was determined for this incarnation.
@Gantic,
Alright, cool. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that. My bad. Makes sense now. I just thought that because that's what happened so many times, and some people would do it on purpose.
It's usually very obvious like skipping to 100 or going back to 1 for no reason.
Current Topic
If a moderator edits a posts from a user for breaking some rule, should the count be restarted under the no edit provision of Rule 1? In pre-edit Armor Games, a moderator would have just deleted such a post, and users would have to start over anyway.
Yes as a rule has been broken and an edit has occurred, however seeing as a moderator is doing the editing and not the player it shouldn't count. But seeing as a rule has been broken the count should restart.
The AG rules apply to all threads, including Count to 100. Part 3 of how to play states:
Restart the count from 1 after breaking a rule.
Double posting because there's a possible issue with one of the rules.
Recently, the following rule was added to Count to 100:
Posts with no numbers should be ignored.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
As the last couple hours have proved, the current anti-trolling measures are TOO WEAK, not too strong.
'Ninja' posts are part of the actual challenge. You have to be careful to NOT be ninjaed. You do that by refreshing the page before you post, and immediately checking your post after you do so.
Blatant trolling, on the other hand, there is no defense against. Even if you try and ignore the post, eventually they will get somebody to mess up and the thread has to restart, or they'll wait and make an 'accidental' mistake that they can claim wasn't their fault. When the same person continually messes up it starts to become pretty obvious.
Especially since they felt the need to attach a quest to it, I fully anticipate more trolling as people get the quest and then try and screw it up for other people.
1) There needs to be a rule that people that have the quest cannot post in the count anymore
2) If somebody that has the quest continues to actively troll (or makes an alt account to do so) they need to have the quest removed permanently.
3) There needs to be a way to 'blacklist' somebody from the thread. If a sufficient number of people (or a mod) are in agreement that somebody is intentionally screwing things up on multiple occasions, there needs to be a way to either petition for a ban from the thread, or their name added to the front post and EVERY POST of theirs can be ignored.

Please everyone look at page 749 in count to 100
No "spamming". Please don't post only the number and please don't post gibberish, either.
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.
Posts with intentional mistakes should be ignored.
