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!

28. Who knows what his individual circumstances are or even what country JimSlaps is in? Where I work, the students get almost a whole month off, and the non-emergency faculty/staff get roughly one week and a half off.

29. Is that for the Christmas break? If it is, that's an unusually long amount of time to be off of school before school ends.

30. Eh, when I was in college it was about a month between Winter and Spring semesters.

31. I think for colleges/universities the break is usually longer.

32. About a month in February (assuming you don't flub your finals) and three months in the summer (excluding student internships). Plus a week-or-two for Christmas. In my college, we don't have classes during midterms and finals, either.

34. I'm currently attending a career tech. school for my senior year. Our Christmas break was the week of Christmas, and the first two days of the following week. I think it could be possible that here in (the United States of) America, they don't like the student population. Maybe just my school.

35. Nope. I'm just a student, but I'll take that as a compliment, soggy.

Christmas break sometimes just has the week of Christmas. Depends on how the gods have aligned the calendar that year.

36. Winter break was alright for me. I didn't really go anywhere, besides maybe the park, and just stayed inside most of the time.

37. Your armatar sure makes you look old for a student @sciller45. (I'm in my 20s; armatars can certainly be deceiving.)

38. I'm curious now, what did/is/will everyone be going to school for? I went for Game Programming, and someday I'll even complete the one solitary class needed for my Associates. For now, I'm just a regular backend developer, sadly not game related

39. Old for a student? No such thing! Age is no matter in the academy. A man ought to be a lifelong student. Though maybe not... officially. That'd be an excellent way of attaining several lifetimes of loan interest.

I'm studying computing. Then, if I can get a job with a Bachelor's, I'll do that, if not, I suppose I'd master in Software Engineering. I studied music theory in High School, too.

I got started with Game Development as well! I'd made several (terrible) video games with Construct in middle school. All lost now. My brother and cousins bullied me into deleting it. Not that they were any good. Today, I only have a few ideas and one unfinished project which I'll totally finish this February.

How come you're not working in gamedev? Anything to do with the supposedly terrible working conditions in gamedev?

40. I did some sort of game development back in middle school, although it wasn't really much of my own game.

Also, I'm sorry to hear that you were bullied into deleting your own construct games, even if they weren't good at all.

41. I'm studying accounting and business management at my career tech. school, and the plan is to follow it up with 4 years at a local uni. After that, I get to join the funniest career in the world, accounting. (It's not actually the funniest career in the world (It was a lie (Finance isn't fun)))
