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!

52. That's the danger of inbreeding. I took genetics in collage and my professor talked about why some pure breeds of dog are sick. Mixed breeds live longer. Dog breeds that inbred, my big sister thinks they should go extinct.

53. Is this count even valid? On page 5249, a mod posted between 3 and 4 without counting. Wouldn't that technically disqualify the entire count upon review?

54. No, mods are allowed to comment and even count now if they wish.

55. We saw that before and continued counting. Remember the time we posted at the same time? We started talking about animals. Want to continue?

56. I personally prefer dogs with longer fur. Caretaking takes more time and patients but its worth it. Cuddeling is so much more adorable.

57. Dogs and cats are different. If a dog's wagging its tail, that's good. If a cat's doing it, that's bad. Mom's sister had a cat named Mr. Socks; he thumped his tail and made his ears press down. I kept petting him and he hissed then starched me. My Aunt said Mr. Socks was a mutt. The cat was black with white paws; he lived a long time for a cat.

58. It isn't just about inbreeding. We have purposefully bred certain dogs to look a certain way that is detrimental to their health. I would dare to say that some breeds in their modern form are abominations. Also, if mods are allowed to count along when does the count actually reset?

59. The count restarts when someone breaks a core rule or we reach 100. You are right about certain dog breeds. Mutt did sound negative when I was a kid, now I know being a mutt is a good thing for a dog or a cat. That could be why Mr. Socks lived as long as he did. I took genetics in collage; my professor told us some dog breeds are sick because of inbreeding. Mixed breeds live longer. When I told him about Mr. Socks, he said it's true for cats too.

60. Mutts really do just live forever. The most well-bred, genetically tested and perfectly kept pure-bred has absolutely nothing on the longevity of a street mutt that lives off literal trash lol

61. So basically we are guranteed wins if we don't make mistakes?

62. Yeah, the only task is to not make a mistake. But we had a time when it took several years to finish the count...

63. That's just what I meant. Also I have a random question. Am I the only woman in this count?

64. Was the site just dead back then or were more strict rules in place? Also I'm a guy

65. This time it won´t take years to finish. It will be a nice trophy in the quest collection.

66. Sometimes the count takes longer than other times. We just had two wins in a row. Can we do three for three? Don't be upset if the quest doesn't come right away even if we do make it. It's not automatic; I learned that after my first one. This will also get you merits.
