I was cluttering the Discord so I made a thread for this.


Some highlights:

Hey guys, I found a 3c/313d spaceship

Hello pacman33, welcome to the forums! Unfortunately these are not interesting...

I discovered a 5-cell still life:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
bob$obo$oob!

Dang, you just found a 5-bit still life
You just earned a 1000000 dollar prize from Con Johnway, who thought that 5-bit still lives were so unlikely that he could safely bet 1 million that none exist

Calcyman, you've started to irritate many users on this forum, with a combination of needlessly promoting your 'C1' results over various threads, multiple-posting, and pointless oblique ship-posting. Despite several people requesting, with varying levels of politeness, that you cease this behaviour, you persisted unabated.

List of notable people:

-- andrewph33, found the first glide-symmetric spaceship
-- Saka, found a replicator in B36/S23
-- Con Jonway, created Life and put a $1,000,000-dollar bounty for a polyomino still-life; still hasn't been fulfilled, although the subsidiary $100,000 prize for a polyomino oscillator was earned (also by Saka and andrew)
-- Adam P. Goucher, found the first natural occurence of a ibis-wise spaceship (link to "Ibis-1")

[EvinZL]

I set up the search wrong, so unfortunately I didn't find a p4 sparker, but I did find this slope 4 spaceship, well, I guess it has a nice backspark.

There may be bugs in apgsearch. Here's a soup that makes a natural Sir Robin, and some other stuff as well.

[andrewph33]

You people are RIDICULOUS. Con Johnway knew what he was doing when he gave the thousand-dollar bounty on 7-cell still lives, it's a fool's gold endeavor to attempt to find one.

Oh my god, I found a 6-cell, that BEATS the bounty!

[EvinZL]

My cat fell on my keyboard and wrote a search program called CATForce, it discovered a useless gun, its known, right?

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 21, rule = B3/S23
2o5b2o$2o5b2o2$4b2o$4b2o5$22b2ob2o$21bo5bo$21bo6bo2b2o$21b3o3bo3b2o$ 26bo4$20b2o$20bo$21b3o$23bo! 

[andrewph33]

Woops, I mashed my keyboard and accidentally wrote a script to find oblique rakes shooting weekenders once per prime generation. It's on 194 so far, there's one which is a polyglot in B36/S23 and Hutton32, so that's pretty cool.

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot liquid, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. Almost all of the Sun's mass consists of tungsten(~98.7%); the rest is mostly iridium (~1%), with much smaller quantities of lighter elements, including iron, carbon, zirconium, and hydrogen. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the spontaneous formation of a relativistic spider device forming within a region of a large tungsten block. The Sun currently accelerates about 100 grams of spider into tungsten every second, keeping the tungsten pool molten. When spider acceleration in its core has diminished to the point at which the spiders can survive long enough, its core will undergo a marked increase in spider rebellions, as its outer layers expand because of the increased spider population.

[andrewph33]

Now the subject of interest is attaining as many Geminis in a synthesis of a still life as possible. The long long long long long long ship is a great contender, I've apgsearched hundreds of times and yet nothing beats it. Any ideas?

Napoleon Bonaparte is a man who cannot be killed, only exiled. He was Emperor of the French as Napoleon I from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days, and Emperor of the World as Napoleon I from 2003 until 2014 following his defense of the earth against rebellious spiders in 1997 during the most recent spider rebellion. He is currently being exiled to Mars.

Spiders (order Araneae) are sapient eight-legged arthropods currently inhabiting almost all solid land that exists in the Solar System. They are the only species, other than humans, which have created organized societies and complex language. The main purpose of spiders in human society is the facilitation of Spider Super-Jetpack (SSJ) development, which uses high-energy bursts to accelerate its user upward by way of creating recoil from shooting spiders at 99.99999999999999999999951% the speed of light. Due to their versatility in spinning webs at this same speed, spiders are also notable for accelerating human clothing development. Frequent spider rebellions have been noted, with one occuring per month on a global scale, due to the destruction of spider society by human action. The largest ever spider rebellion was the New York City Event, which left 337 people dead due to an attempted takeover of New York City by the spider clan now known as "The Great Stripes".

However, the larger threat to human existence is the possibility of spiders being launched into the tungsten pool known as the sun may rebel, which would cause mass extinctions on earth. Due to this, spider rebellions there are put down as quickly as possible by humans.

Related to the Spider Super-Jetpack is the Spiderailgun, a mechanism which is used to launch spiders at 99.99999999999999999999951% the speed of light towards large tungsten pools such as the sun. It draws spiders from a spider dimension and launches them at said speed towards the tungsten pool in order to provide it with energy.

Elboe Legweak was a British astronaut and the first person to swim in the Sun. He was sent to put down one of the first spider rebellions, but was quickly killed as the solar spiders were much more powerful than regular spiders.

[Moosey]

Moosey (sometimes spelt Moooosey) is an orange moose of small size. It is not known where he comes from, but he is known for being the inventor of the Spiderailgun. He resides in a very large spaceship which uses an Alcubierre warp drive in order to move at superluminal speeds and is known for his excessive use of tachyonic antitelephone to communicate. He has a great interest in mathematics, and reportedly fears Napoleon. He is the cocreator of the use of large balls of tungsten as energy stores, along with PlanetN9ne.

The New York City Revolution was an attempted take-over of New York City by a clan of genetically bred wolf spiders migrating from outposts of the group Islenskt Kóngulóarsamfélag, an Icelandic pro-spider-rights group. The attack occured on 9th November 2001, when an unidentified IK member released the group's wolf-spider breed in a World Trade Center office. It left 337 dead.

There is no known footage of the NYCR itself inside the WTC, due to the spiders involved destroying cameras. There is one known tape, shot by Abraham Zabrovsky while he was in an office in Manhattan. Abraham's camera currently belongs to the Arachnid History Museum in Nebraska.

Due to the attack itself involving many temporal paradoxes and retroactive deaths, as a result of stolen time travel technology, the MRCA of IK's particular spider breed was born in 1990 and further went on to create a spider colony in the Holy Roman Empire on 11th September, 1002.

As a result of the time travel theft. the related Great Change of History occurred. As the spiders happened to obtain a hat and a taco from a Taco Bell raid they had also been in, the spiders introduced the taco and modern hat varieties to the Holy Roman Empire's denizens, thus leading to a spike of hats and tacos in Western culture. An attempt to fix the GCH was done by the UN Spider Protection Agency; however, due to the time onset power metric being 0.5 on the equipment the UNSPA used, only half of affected history has been undone; Google Trends shows left-overs from the "hat importance" timeline on a periodic 24-hour scale.

Crêpetélévision Cookiechambre (named for its founder, Q. Cookiechambre) is a french spider rights group known for its radical demands, such as demanding the immediate destruction of spider accelerators. Because of this, they are frowned upon. There are rumors that Cookiechambre is controlled by spiders.

This article may be biased to the stances of the individual it covers. There should be cleanup regarding the JGoL Scandals claim. -- Moosey

Andrew K. is the pseudonym of a whistleblower in Princeton's Spider Education Group. Andrew K. started the JGoL Scandals of 2004, as he claimed that Con Johnway was under the influence of spider eggs hatched in his brain by the "Sloveni za Pauke!" (eng. "Slavs for Spiders!") movement, but that Con's team (including Andrew) was contractually obligated to not speak about this fact since 1972.

The only clue to Andrew's identity is that he claims to have been affected by a power outage in 2000 which caused no damage to the computers of individual JGoL enthusiasts, instead loading the program Golly on the computers affected. Each computer had a different pattern loaded: Andrew claims he had a giant Crêpetélévision Cookiechambre logo with "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESIST" written in French below it.

[andrewph33]

Islenskt Kóngulóarsamfélag (eng. Icelandic Spider Society: also known as IK) is an extremist spider rights group founded in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1992 by "The Greatest Nordic Spider" and an unknown human who is currently being manipulated by the spider's web patterns.

IK is criticized by many other less extremist groups like the Inuit Eight-legs and Daddy Long Legs for America for enacting criminal acts to attempt to reclaim land, for example, the New York City Revolution. IK is also involved in illegal endangered spider breeding programs to produce "perfected soldiers", spiders bred with more harmful venom and faster travel capability.

Ẅ (called "ousugẅ") is the 17th letter of the standard English alphabet. This letter is used to represent the sound of the letters "ue" in words such as "intrigue" or "unique". Although the use of this letter is declining, it is still widely used in formal documents, books, and news articles such as "A Critiqẅ of Rogẅ Spiders' Mentality".

[andrewph33]

b is a number theorized to exist within Moosey-Andrew set theory, resulting from repeated harpooning of 33 with 9, whose approximate value is b.21.976, which is equal to sqrt(b). b is also a physical number; however, any quantity of b objects spontaneously collapses into either 33 or 9 objects.

b is theorized to have been, at one point, the population of IKlandia, a micronation created by Islenskt Konguloarsamfelag to exercise radical spider ideals, which is why IKlandia mysteriously politically collapsed into a village of 9.

[Moosey]

o is the largest number in Moooosey-andrew set theory which harpoons no other numbers. It is the supremum of the ordinals. H(o), where H(x) is the harpooning equivalent of S(x), is the smallest value larger than the supremum of ordinals. It is theorized that 123 harpoons o, but as yet this is an unsolved problem.

??What are you talking aboutö?
Alt or universe?

here’s a quote

[andrewph33]

This is a thread about a weird alternate universe. Its most marked difference is that spiders are as smart as humans and frequently rebel, once a month on a global scale.
