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!

Congrats!

We made it. Why didn't we get the quest?

Because it's not an automatic process. I'll have to check the count and make sure everything is in order, update the scoreboard and hand out quests and merits accordingly. Which I'll do, tomorrow (or rather later today...)

5. It's been a year and 5 months since the last one, that is crazy to me.
Then again the longest gap was almsot 3 years. Also @Widestsinger I didn't know you participated in the last 6 wins!

The Count is validated, yay! Giving out merits for first count of the year in late September is rather funny, but I am impressed with how quickly you progressed through that last half of it. Well done!

As always, quests and merits have been handed out, full scoreboard is updated (OP is having issues), please do notify me if I missed something or forgot someone.

6. I’m surprised I didn’t get any ag points, I thought merits counted towards them. Anyways… did yall see the email ag sends out when you get a merit? It’s so corny but I love it.

7. Are you didn't get any? It's not a large amount of ag points. It's the quest that gives a lot the first time.

8. I do believe that I was already at 702 points and my score did not go up.

9. Y'know, I just checked, and it seems today is Kat's n-th birthday.

You may not know her
but her legacy lives on
in broken paging.

And haikus.

11. BTW, the little scoreboard of the official post hasn't been updated, Komissar. As in, the one that shows the last two wins.

Also, no, why would you get two? You get one the first win, then the tenth, and the first count of each year.

12. It's not about the merits, its about sending a message.

13. It's about all the friends we made along the way, is this count still valid since there were two non counting messages between 4-5 and 5-6?

4.1 The count shall NOT be restarted from 1 if:
4.1.1 a post without a number is made, except in the case of a stopping post.

However, maybe you should still restart on account of the back-to-back that happened because of my posts, whoops.

I am aware @sciller45, I am having issues editing it. Still, thanks for the notice.

1. The forum continues to fall apart. Soon not even the mods will have control over it. It shall run free a wild beast!
