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!

Which literally means "I'm holding my thumbs (with other fingers) for you".

That's interesting! In (Swiss) French we also say that - "Je te tiens les pouces".

1. Shouldn't commissioner posts be neutral? Yeah... pious hopes.
@Olaffours They (British, American, both?) say "I will keep my fingers crossed for you" when they're rooting on someone so I think that they don't use it when lying.

"Je te tiens les pouces".

Google translates that as: "I will hold your thumbs" xD

(Alright, no need to restart for this post)

Google translates that as: "I will hold your thumbs"

I can see why, but the meaning is actually exactly what you wrote before:
"I'm holding my thumbs (with other fingers) for you".

(3) - I would add our phrase for that, but as it's identical (in the literal translation) to the Polish one, there's no reason to.

4. @helpo1 no reason? Everybody wants to see your native fancy letters.

"break a leg"

I've heard that too. We have even better: "I'll kick your bottom for a luck" xD

(5) - ž and í in "Držím ti palce"? Fancy indeed. :P

(6) ž is a weird letter

í is pretty normal to me though... along with á, é, ó and ú

I wonder why I can type ý on my keyboard though, like, we only use the letter "y" for foreign words and names, let alone ý

is ç a fancy letter?

8. @armorplayergc so ý isn't used in any word? From the fancy ones we have ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż. All typed by pressing normal letter + Alt. ź is x + Alt.

@Hardstrike Hey, long time no see xD I'll cook that thing tomorrow, got recipe, don't have the ingredients.

10. no, "w", "k" and "y" aren't used for any word in Portuguese
Well, we have keys for the accents in the keyboard, we have one for ´, which when pressed with shift gives `, one for ~, which when pressed with shift gives ^, ç has its own key, we can also type shift + 6 to give ¨, then, after "choosing" the accent, we press the letter...
so, shift + 6, and then u would make ü (even though we don't have this letter anymore in Portuguese)

so, in total, with my keyboard, I can type á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, â, ê, î, ô, û, à, è, ì, ò, ù, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ã, õ and ç

even though Portuguese only has á, é, í, ó, ú, â, ê, ô, ã, õ, ã, õ, à, ç... (IIRC) and we used to have ü...

also, be careful dude, volcanos are serious business
