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!

2. Welcome back, sciller! Glad that you returned before your sniper-attempt. It seems this would have taken ages.

4. Here are some facts about roaches. They have been around for 300 million years! That means they were around before dimetrodon, which was extinct millions of years before the dinosaurs lived. Don't call roaches pests, because most of them are not. Want some more facts? Next person picks. We can talk about a different animal if you think roaches are gross.

5. Did a school project on lice (human lice) so I'd like to hear something about that. We can all go and google something and quickly summarize it or ask chatgpt so maybe don't do that

6. My big sister told me nits are lice eggs. She told me that's where the term nit picking comes from. At least roaches do something useful in the ecosystem. I just googled it; lice are blood sucking parasites. They also look real gross and ugly. Next person pick something that's not a parasite.

7. Mice you see in fields all the time, but [xD]roaches you never see outside. What do you know about swallows? The birds?

8. Yes. Did you see their tails? Males with longer tails are the ones the females want to mate with. I heard about that when I was in school.

11. I understand they probably serve a useful part of the ecosystem, but I hate roaches with my entire existence. That hatred is only growing because it's getting hot here where I live and the giant American Roaches keep finding their way into my house, even though they typically don't even like to nest inside. I don't mind pillbugs, though, which is good because my lawn is home to probably hundreds of thousands of them lol

12. What I said about roaches, I got from the book Monsters in the Night. There are many other animals in there too. I don't like roaches either; even knowing fun facts I still think they look gross. Being a woman, I prefer ladybugs and butterflies (they're not in the book). Want to know what other animals are in my book or talk more about the birds Sciller45 was talking about?

13. Why not combine them? What does the good book say on moths?

14. The death's head hawkmoth. The book has basic information about each animal; there's a level of threat to humans gauge, and the endangered status. The only moth in my book is a low threat to us. If you want to know which animals are the most dangerous; hippo and leopard tie for second place, and the mosquito just barely beats them. Which one have bad endangered status? Tasmanian devil and kiwi birds are endangered. The kakpo (a flightless parrot) is critically endangered. The book says nothing about how you can help.

16. Well, for one, I've been bit by a mosquito many times, but a hippo never bit me once.
