So, uh, where should I post P7 partials then? I'm already trying to only post the longer ones.
I think that goldenratio was talking to me (and I intend to obey).

But he shouldn't be mean to you
Also, your comments on fallback are good for me. If I run out of search space and find nothing, I'll have to try w16, and I want to know which partials I should try back. And for that, I'd have to see your comments on fallback.

I didn't interpret it as meanness, but then again, I may be wrong.

Yes, but you probably have an idea of what constitutes good fallback by now. However, if you're worried about not having my comments, here are the aspects of good fallback:
- Falling back a greater distance
- Falling back sooner/more quickly after delivering the spark
- Staying back for longer after falling back
The third point tends to favor higher-period oscillators. The first point also favors higher-period oscillators indirectly because the oscillator can come back at a maximum speed of c orthogonal or c/4 diagonal (and it's often restricted to c/2 orthogonal) in order to deliver the next spark, so it can't fall back farther than it can come back in the time of one period.

Are there anything left on gameoflifetotalwar? It's a rubbish site now.

It was a very popular Life-combat online game, played all over the internet, not only on this community. Many members joined because of that website. Its domain name is now taken for whatever reason and became a rubbish Thai site.

Is there any way to find its original version? When did this happen/when was it played?

That was what I was asking. For the second question, there's only one thread about the game on this forum, its here:

lifecompetes was close but not quite the same as totalwar.

Wait, you can run soup searches on replit?

This is the synthesis of

x = 50, y = 41, rule = B3/S23

Can someone reduce the synthesis?

I know that there's a thread on the Patterns forums for synthesizing oscillators, but I don't think that there's a thread for synthesizing other patterns. I encourage you to make one.

Soup-based syntheses (it hasn't been posted on in a while)
For non-soup based still life syntheses, the 20-bit still life synthesis thread, and it's kind of pointless for larger still lives unless they have a purpose
EDIT: @hunting that thread is basically the same but it's older so that one is better

That is an exaggeration, but I understand how you could be confused because the English language only has a finite number of words, so it only convey the intended meaning with a certain amount of accuracy.

Is it truly impossible to stabilize the P45 gun/oscillator using P9 oscillators?
Did you randomly thought about the p45 gun, or you saw one of my posts?
Also, I posted a 9 glider synthesis but catagolue still says 10.

That's surprising. How did my synthesis even got to catagolue? No one even tried to reduce the 4 gliders spark to 3 gliders.

The longest-lasting eight-cell methuselah probably consists of an R-pentomino and a preblock or blinker. The longest-lasting nine-cell methuselah is probably an R-pentomino and a predecessor of a traffic light or something, and the longest-lasting eleven-cell methuselah may even just be an R-sequence and a predecessor for a honey farm or something.
