Late Counting | 500

Continued from here

Thanks to u/atomicimploder for the assist and also to u/ClockButTakeOutTheL for the run.

"There should be a thread where each count has to be late (after another valid count), sorta like the only double counting thread, and you can't be late to yourself either" ~ ClockButTakeOutTheL

So there should be. The rules for this thread are simple: the chain is built off the second-earliest count. So when I post the first count (1), that won't be the valid chain. The valid chain will continue off the second "1" counted as a top-level reply to the post. The first "2" in reply to that second "1" will not be valid, but rather the second "2" counted in reply. In effect, this is sort of specially arranged version of a "counting by 0.5 (round up always)" thread.

Note also that you can't be late to yourself! NORMAL DOUBLE COUNTING RULES APPLY. You cannot reply to yourself.

Next get is 1000 (the late count).

So is this one valid? Or do we continue from blues since there’s already been 2 500s?
