CA-related word puzzles

It's a phoneix rule.
It's well-known.
It has several small spaceship which moves at the same speed.
It's the type of rule that Discord likes but Twilight Sparkle hates.
What is it?

Yes, I have. Should be easy.

A thing whose name is a valid reaction to seeing it after using go boards.

Golly (I never actually used Go boards, since I didn't have any lying around.)
Here's a tricky one:

Hint (select to uncover): it's a rulestring
Any sufficiently advanced software is indistinguishable from malice.

I believe it's:
B(0)2eck3ay4t5e6c(8)/S(0)1c2e3ciky4jt(8)
B(0)2eck3ay4t5e6c7c(8)/S(0)2e3ciky4jt(8)
The 8s and 0s are there because they could be in the rulestring without letters

Here's a tricky one:

Once upon a twilight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over not a thorough and novel volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, chaotically napping, suddenly there came a breaking,
As of some rule violently baking, baking at my chamber door.
“’Tis some explosion,” I muttered, “baking at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

Big big hint:

Code: Select all




























twilight
sorry i'm bad at copying poetry

Stars?
Once upon a twilight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
As of some rule violently baking, baking at my chamber door.

Although "baking" doesn't really fit in...

That would actually fit in well, but no.

Getting close.

Big big big hint:

[redacted because it's too obvious]

Hint:

“’Tis some explosion,” I muttered, “baking at my chamber door—

Hint 2:

Over not a thorough and novel volume of forgotten lore—

Code: Select all
























i.e. people will think it creates infinite novelty, but no
Very big hint:

Code: Select all




















Day and Night has the same property as this rule.
