Note: this is a joke page. Do NOT try any of the actions here unless you want to feel the greatest possible wrath of the CA community.
And please don't fall victim to the Streisand effect...
Do not try these
- Insult Calcyman
- Claim you discovered something ridiculous like a 12-cell c/3 spaceship and then insisting “well, you guys missed it, I guess”
- Post an image of a really complicated pattern instead of an RLE
- Advertise LeapLife if you are not Hunting
- Mentioning Bx222 in a thread of Entity Valkyrie's, or quoting one of Entity Valkyrie's posts and mentioning Bx222 in your post
- Claim some other program or app is better than Golly
- Post a strobing pattern without either warning beforehand or presetting the step to an even number
- (Discord only): Bring back #channel-debate
- (Discord only): Say “Discord is already a wasteland (with the typical user there acting like hotcrystal0)”
- (Discord only): Sim Caterer in #exotic-ca
- After somebody finishes a really big reduction to a spaceship synthesis, say "Yeah but it can be done in 17"
- Quote a post more than a year old without adding something constructive
- Use the term "hickerize" instead of "corderize"
- Use [viewer] tags on something non-groundbreaking without reducing the size using commands
- Bump a thread where new posts are supposed to be exciting (like Soup search results or Small Spaceship Syntheses) without adding anything constructive
- Use multiple sockpuppets/alts and ask silly user-specific questions to draw attention from other forum members
- Post swastika RLEs in multiple distinct threads in the Sandbox
More coming...
