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!

17. The same reason why i'm more scared of stairs then king cobras, one has an actual chance of harming me in my day to day life and one I will never see.

18. I would also say that flies, mosquitos and rats are much more dangerous than predators like tigers, leopards or bears. They transmit diseases, and many more people die by e.g. Zika- and dengue-fever than by tiger bites.

17. Don't you know mosquitos carry fatal diseases like malaria? Not only are they the most dangerous animal in my book, they're the most dangerous animal in the world, in terms of how many people and livestock they kill. I paraphrased what my book said; there are other illness they carry that are in there. The book doesn't say why mosquitos need blood for their eggs. The book was written before zika virus was discovered; that's another germ they carry. Look for that book yourself; see if the library has it or go to some book stores. Monsters in the Night is nonfiction written by Lisa Regan.

1. Sorry about resetting this again. I was on the previous page of this forum; I didn't realize someone had already counted seventeen and stared a new page. We all make mistakes; let's learn form them. If anyone is near the end of the page on this forum, check to see if the next page has already been stared. Want to know what other animals are in my book or should we talk about other animals?

2. There can be at most 15 posts on a single page, so you ought to always count and check at that point. The paging remains broken sadly, although it seems to have gotten better with time.

3. I will do that next time. That's why it's important to learn from our mistakes; we should try to learn from other peoples mistakes too. For the animals we can talk about; I knew a lot about dinosaurs, even when I was little. I can tell about a few animals that were around before the dinosaurs.

5. I mentioned dimetrodon a while ago. You might know that one. Most people think it was a dinosaur; the fact is it was extinct millions of years before the dinosaurs lived. I'm using a different book; it says dimetrodon was a pelycosaur. The other pelycosaurs on the page are edaphosaurus (also a sail back) and ophiacodon (not a sail back). They lived during the Permian, the biggest mass extinction of them all. The books says pelycosaurs were mammal-like reptiles and all quadrupedal. Without the book I can only tell you about the dimetrodon. How many of you already knew it was not a dinosaur?

8. Dimetrodon is one of the best known animals from before the dinosaurs; it's the only one of the three I know without the book. Trilobite is another one of those well known animals. Look them up if you don't know what they are. That's all I can tell you about animals extinct before the dinosaurs lived. Look up information about the Permian if you don't know what it was.

10. No. I did know this for years. Almost everything I know about what happened before the dinosaurs is about The Permian, which is not very much. Like I said, everything I posted is just about all I know. I'm a nerdy science lady, that's how I know that. Should we talk about dinosaurs next or talk about today's animals?

12. Only the first dinosaurs walked across Pangaea. Examples of early dinosaurs: plateosaurus, coelophysis, herrerasaurus and procompsognathus. The three time periods of the Mesozoic Era are common knowledge, so we can just use the first letters of their names as abbreviations; T, J, & C. If you asked me when I was a little girl what the three time periods the dinosaurs lived are called, I still would have been able to answer, and put them in order from first to last.
