Frustrated to the point of anger, I minimised Fall Guys. The Royals locker room, yeah, that had to cheer me up. Taking a sip of my vodka, and noting that Deadly was no longer streaming while drunk as hell, I scanned the Discord sidebar for white, the sign of life. Counting bot, my old friend. I skimmed to the bottom. Latest post: 72.
"Well", I thought, "you don't have to teach maths to know this one!" I didn't really think that, it's just expositional storytelling because teaching maths is actually my job. My brain is way less jovial and obvious than that.
My fingers danced across the keyboard.... seven... three... enter. As I hit the last button I was overcome by the fear. Had I definitely scrolled to the latest post? I had been sure prior to this keystroke, but now I wasn't. Had there been a "Jump to Present" on the bottom? I... I checked... right?
The next 100 or so milliseconds were the longest of my life. I could feel them ticking by. One millisecond... two millisecondS... OK, they probably went by faster than you're reading that, but that 100 milliseconds felt like at least 500 milliseconds. Maybe 550.
Then it flashed up.
@Crunk RUINED IT AT 106!! Next number is 1. Wrong number.
A small piece of me died. A larger piece of me wanted to. What could I do, having let my team down like this? Another sip of vodka for courage, my hand quivering, I prayed silently for forgiveness as I typed the only thing I could.

TL;DR: Maths teacher can't do counting bot
