@Bubblegum: how so? AS far as I can tell my arguments are completely valid and not arguing for the sake of arguing. @MathAndCode: how many times I need to tell you Corder refer to corderoids and not corderman, because corderman is a person that cannot be followed by -ize. Who cares about corderman ...

Basically, your argument is that it makes sense, while our argument is that Dean Hickerson didn't just put thirteen switch engines together and do effectively nothing else, and that he's a bit hard to connect to Corderships because knowing who discovered what isn't too important in the real infinit...

Did you read the above? -ize something means "make something into the thing before -ize", and the corder in corderizing in particular refer to the Corderships and not Corderman! They are called Corderships because of the switch engines, not the debris-cancelling reaction. But corder-ize means make ...

In particular, corderizing means the act of making corderoids, and hickerizing... making Dean Hickerson? Hickerizing would mean making a spaceship composed of puffer engines whose debris cancels each other out, the first of which was created by Dean Hickerson. On the other hand, what does the 15c/6...

Yeah, it eventually did received interest (after continous bumping), but that does not necessarily mean one should create the thread for Symbiosis if no one else is interested in it elsewhere to avoid conflict of interest. I agree-unfortunately it was 2017 me who created the thread and didn't under...

Threads should be created when they received much interest elsewhere, and threads should not be created to drag attention unlike what I used to do. Sorry, but as far as I can tell, Symbiosis received interest only because I made a thread for it-had I not made the thread, chances are that it probabl...

Plus please don't create threads for the sake of creating it. Tell that to BokaBB. I don't think they're doing that at all. It probably would have been better if they had posted it in the Thread for Your Unrecognized CA first, but it's still both a legitimate thread and rule. And Hickerizing is wro...

I apologize if I am mistaken, but I cant find my puffer or any puffer for that matter in that database, although I may be missing something in the navigation of the website you linked to. I found the three c4 diagonal spaceships very interesting. Either way I don't think a quadratic growth pattern ...

Ignores fact that they used Hickerize instead of corderize. I don't think that it should be called Corderizing because Charles Corderman did not arrange switch engines so that their debris cancels out. Corderships are instead called Corderships because the unstable puffer that serves as their engin...

OK, I believe the consensus is established. Let's stop the sandboxification! Okay, so who is going to bell the cat , I mean, hold back the shifting sands of sandboxification? I can update the forum rules once there's some consensus about exactly what the new rules should say. So far we have these r...

Very much known. I believe every one who know about Generations tried this first.

Why LeapLife? Is not the point of the leaderboard to search rules you want? I also, wouldn't call it competition. Isn't the whole point of finding OCA or objects in Life to be academic? Not competitive? ^ On top of that, why is it humiliating? I don't quite understand... I might even go as far as s...

is python your first programming language ? have you seen the OCTA meta-pixel ? if any answer is 'no', perhaps it is not neccessary to force yourself do things you don't like. spent time on the project you really interested in, that is the good way learning programming. if you'd like to check some ...

Users who (I know) have been convinced of the usefulness of fast components at the time of my typing this post: MathAndCode iNoMed Kazyan Spread the word! I'd also include a list of the objects whose synthesis costs have been reduced by fast components so far, but it's already too long for me to bo...

When posting ships you've discovered, is it more acceptable to post their unsimplified speed, or their simplified speed?

It depends on your point. But generally, unsimplified is preferable.

Pointless remark: for the above sample SL, is "integral with tail" not simple enough? I really don't understand the use of "fuse" here. Fuse is usually longer than a duoplet, like Cis-fuse with two tails . On the other hoof, what does "R-" actually mean? Why isn't R-loaf also b2o$bobo$o2bo$b2o! or 2...

To clarify some nomeclature discussed in Discord for the fast components collection, this is an up cis-carrier siamese bookend: x = 4, y = 6, rule = B3/S23 b2o$obo$o$2o$o2bo$2b2o!
