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!

23. @Hardstrike Do you plan to create an armatar for the Halloween armatar drawing contest? Wait, is this count legal?

24. No police have suddenly come and barge the door down so we should be fine.

25. I mean, LordLazyLeopard and I have done P1 P2 P1 P2, so we should reset, right?

2. Yes, it was a back to back reset there, but it doesn't matter now

4. Well, It'd be the same story even IF I had reset it now.

5. All thanks to a well placed, although annoying, interruption post.

6. A very well-placed interruption post! Well, I'll learn to be a bit more careful before I post.

The Earth needs another K-T style asteroid impact to give it a nice reboot and free it from our tyranny. I wonder how the survivors evolutionary routine would run this time?

That makes no sense. An asteroid large enough to cause another K-Pg-style extinction would do magnitudes more damage to earth than we are currently doing. Not to say that we are doing well, but certainly not that bad. Also, we can still do something to avoid the worst. Asteroid impacts tend to be definitive

The world is dying fast enough that it'll end, and possible be able to restart, without an asteroid. The sun would expand and fry the entire planet before evolution could even hope to do anything over again.

First, no. "The world" won't die. It is changing, and changing faster than usual, but not ending.
Second, nonsense. The sun is due to shine for another 5 billion years last I checked. Just look at what happened these last 4.6 billion years on earth. There's time aplenty.

2. @HahiHa Good that you excavated that topic. I can easily predict that human will take over other liveable planets way before the Sun expands too much and other galaxies way before 5 billion years of Sun's lifespan pass if evolution of science escalates further with such speed. If because I mean now some self-destructive and decadent actions that might happen as well - that's risk of human nature unfortunately.

@sciller45 Yeah... I don't know if you're aware about one fact here. Team Mod tries to stop us, and not only because these guys are mean. It's the part of the game - mods/admins can also get CT100 quest if they count to a particular number, which varies in dependence on our winning streak. Our winning streak is now 1 so they need to count to 100 as well.

3. That was a rhetorical question though you knew that. But, yeah, no, not really. And where does it say about the winning streak rule?

@sciller45 Look here, section 2.1, handicap rule.

No need to restart the count this time, exceptionally
