Belated Pattern of the Year 2012 voting thread

[atavoidirc]

It's been ten years since 2012, but finally the pattern of the year competition shall finish.
List of Entries (Entries are written as they were in the beginning of 2013, and some may have become outdated):

• #01 37P4H1V0 (by Josh Ball): the smallest known c/4 orthogonal spaceship.
• #02 Statorless p3 (by Jason Summers): the first strictly volatile period-3 oscillator.
• #03 444-tick glider-to-Herschel converter (by Sergey Petrov): the fastest known stable glider-to-Herschel converter/90-degree glider reflector.
• #04 G4 Herschel merge circuit (by Sergey Petrov): a spartan Herschel transceiver that allows two independent transmitters to feed into the same receiver.
• #05 Ambidextrous G5 Herschel transceiver (by Sergey Petrov and Paul Callahan): a spartan Herschel transmitter by Sergey Petrov that can connect to Paul Callahan's spartan Herschel receiver in either of the two possible orientations.
• #06 p4 glider reflector (by Karel Suhajda and Matthias Merzenich): the first fast period-4 90-degree reflector. It works at periods as low as 52.
• #07 Direct stable Herschel duplicator (by Sergey Petrov): a conduit with a single Herschel input and two independent Herschel outputs.
• #08 HLx111R (by Matthias Merzenich): a versatile H-to-R conduit that can be used to construct several new Herschel conduits.
• #09 Slow two-sided synthesis of the Herschel transmitter (by Sergey Petrov): two-sided syntheses of the standard Herschel transmitter in every orientation where only two gliders interact at any step in the synthesis.
• #10 86P6H3V0 (by Matthias Merzenich and Josh Ball): the smallest known 3c/6 orthogonal spaceship.
• #11 New c/5 diagonal rake design (by Matthias Merzenich): a c/5 diagonal rake design that allows rakes of periods as low as 85.
• #12 Herschel-less p62 gun (by Jason Summers): the first period-62 glider gun that does not rely on Herschels.
• #13 New c/4 diagonal spaceships (by Nicolay Beluchenko): a very large collection of new c/4 diagonal spaceships found with Nicolay Beluchenko's modification of WLS.
• #14 New reflector periods (by Matthias Merzenich): The first p26 dependent reflector and p52 and p58 independent reflectors.
• #15 Low density orphan (by Marijn Heule, Christiaan Hartman, Kees Kwekkeboom, and Alain Noels): an orphan with 92 set cells and only 45 on cells, giving it the lowest density of any known irreducible orphan.

To vote for a pattern, simply include a line where that pattern's number is followed by with a number of asterisks from one to three corresponding to how strongly you want to vote for that pattern. If you do not want to vote for a pattern, simply do not include a line with its number.

In case some of you are concerned about mixing up the numbers, here is a version optimized for voting. Simply replace the name of each pattern with the number of asterisks that you want to give it (and remove lines corresponding to patterns that you don't want to vote for).

#02 Statorless p3
#03 444-tick glider-to-Herschel converter
#04 G4 Herschel merge circuit

#12 Herschel-less p62 gun
#13 New c/4 diagonal spaceships
#14 New reflector periods

Voting shall end 23:59 UTC on December 31, 2022

I have not been doing a great job informing people, so the turnout has been low. As such, I've decided to extend the voting period from 0:00 UTC on November 1, 2022 to 23:59 UTC on December 31, 2022. This will be the final extension.

I'm assuming you mean 2022? Would be one heck of an extension otherwise.

Post corrected, thank you
