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!

7. Yeah, I know. Still, Alexa only seems to show last month, so trends is the next best thing

9. I didn't know that site. Does it have quests? From American flash sites I only know the big trio.

10. I'm pretty sure you played Siegius. It should show the logo before the game starts. AFAIK, Max games is a site like Kizi or friv (Which are popular in my country, but I'm not sure about the world.) Which you just have a big bunch of games which you can play. It's simple. I like it. Not as much as AG, though.

11. I didn't play Siegius but it looks cool. Ima checkirout.
Armor Games is the best. Kongregate has more achievements but it doesn't feel any near the same when getting them. AG quests are like precious and beautiful trophies. And the sound of swords... music to my ears xD

13.

The sound of typing numbers is music to your ears?
Or counting numbers is music to your eyes?
I dunno, just taking shots in the dark here.

15. Other sorts of art are reserved for eyes. For them music is just objects in motion. Even nerve receptors are better to receive music thanks to their ability to sense vibrations. Mr. Obvious strikes again.

16. Listening music with eyes? Is it like tasting with your eyes. Mmm, Beethoven's sixth symphony. looks delicious.

Wait a minute. Isn't that just reading sheet music? And while you're reading it, singing it in your head?

17. What would be music to your nostrils, then?

19. Mmm... A symphony of yummy smells!
@sciller45 It's rustling a music sheet. When you're singing in your head you're replaying recordings stored on your drive.

20. No you're not. You're playing recording stored on the sheet music. If you already listened to the music, then it's probably replaying recordings stored in your drive.

But the smell of music. Well, guess it depends on the person, but if I had to...

Rock music would smell like chlorine. It's really sharp and reminds me of childhood.
Modern pop music smells like generic milk chocolate. All of it is too similar and the cocoa cream is mostly made by the same dude. In music's case, by the same two dudes. Seriously. Look it up. It's not that I can't enjoy milk chocolate, but I rather wouldn't
I'm just gonna lump everything from Baroque to Romanticism as classical. It's like very dark chocolate. I didn't really like it at first, but now I can't get enough. Well, I mean, smell and taste are way too connected to talk about one without talking about the other.
Jazz and swing smell like flowers. Flowers with happy little faces and smiles all drawn in Jimp's style

And traditional pop...

Traditional pop smells like nuclear fallout.

22. @sciller45 like what? You're playing with an instrument or recall its sound. Notes and chords are stored in your memory and replayed when you read any kind of written music. Rustling of paper and similar will be the only kind of music played with a music sheet until people invent a way of transferring thoughts into sound.

Hmm... how does reggae smell?

23. Hm. Thoughts into sound? It sounds almost like words. Kaboosh. Mind = Blown :P
Applying that logic to computers, it'd be like saying MIDI files are played with mp3s of the song, when it's actually only with recordings of the instruments. (If I get your point correctly) Yeah, sure, you have to hear them first, but the song is only in your head.

Wow, people are interested in what I think music smells like? OK.
Metal smells like gasoline and engine fumes with a tinge of smoke. And bacon. Lots of bacon.
Country would smell like fresh air and fields of wheat. Not sure if yall city folk ever smelled fields of wheat. Yee haw! Also maybe tinge of manure.

And Raggae would probably smell like pot if you ever smelt it, buut if not, light cigarette smoke to me or regular cigarette smoke if it doesn't murder your lungs like mine.

24. *BAM!* I knew you’d say it :-P I meant there should be a way to extract exact sounds. Of course you could be right in the case of written words, that’s what we can copy with voice - but you started with "in head"! Ha! Originally it was "what's music for eyes" we shouldn't sing out loud in my reasoning :-P But after that any technology taking part instead of vocal chords also breaks that rule. But in your meaning that's correct, we see written music and try to copy it. Anyway we can't play with a sheet of paper no matter what, unlogical, my bad. Scan your sheet music and then play with software = read, transfer and play. Music for eyes is a lie! >< Other thing if we could see sound waves.

I've just listened to mp3 into MIDI conversion of Staying Alive, it was brilliant xD

26. Actually any visualisation of sound is literally music for eyes, like soundwave images. Or the dancing shapes built in some music players.

I was wondering, do you also have a native (naffing) disco? Here Disco Polo is a plague. Veery popular and veeery shoddy. And it is considered as modern music not like generic disco from 70s.

27. Hmm. Music for eyes. But sheet music couldn't possibly convey anything to a person who's always been deaf, so maybe I've been looking at it wrong. So music would be a bunch of frequencies of sound which both sound well together and fit the whole piece. And there is a thing which can fit that description when it comes to visuals. Art.

So, art is music for eyes(?)

Also, Disco Polo sounds like background music from a how to video from 2011. Complete with notepad text, unregistered hypercam and highlighting the cursor when clicking something. Seriously, why did anyone use that kind of stuff for background music. That's a horrible idea.
And, AFAIK here most people listen to turbofolk, which is kinda close to disco but not close enough to be a variant of disco.
