New post because somewhat different topic. Combination of the p5684 ship with the irregular siderake of 50c/100s, which filters out some 50c/100s and makes the output pattern even more complicated: x = 355, y = 145, rule = B2k3acijr4ijqy6i7c/S2aek3ijnqr4it5n 236b3o$235bo2bo$235bo3bo$234b2ob3o8$271bo...

p8232 (84*98) ship consisting of the frontsparky p5684 (58*98) ship and p2744 (28*98) siderake noted earlier for its tight output stream; the period is three times that of the rake and not related to that of the ship which is rephased: x = 171, y = 261, rule = B2k3acijr4ijqy6i7c/S2aek3ijnqr4it5n 52b...

Any updates on this?

Not before this decade ends and the next one begins!

To clarify, I was asking testitem for an update on when he was going to summarise the nominations and post the final poll entries, which his previous post suggested he would do a few days ago.

Since there were no nominations for five days, I'll start summarizing the nominations. I'll post the final poll entries tomorrow.

Any updates on this?

In a rule for a 23-cell 6c/3946o from the 5S, shrinking spaceships emerge: x = 11, y = 12, rule = B3air4ejk5kny6ci8/S2aek3-aek4ceity5acejr6kn78 b2o$obo6bo$2o6b3o$7b2obo4$3bo$2b2o$b2o2bo$2bo2bo$4b2o! snip This rule is explosive, but the explosions also look quite interesting, almost like a reploop r...

It's difficult to say. After 50,000 generations it looks a bit more like a 16-gon than a circle, though, but it's possibly that's just aliasing and a larger number of generations might give a different result.

When are we intending for the nominating period for this to end (since it's clearly been extended) and the voting to begin?

When will the nominating period for this close and the voting begin?

A cute little reaction in this rule: x = 12, y = 12, rule = B3aijn4i6n/S2-n3ijqr4ikr 9bo$8b2obo$10bo8$bo$3o! Unfortunately the rakes are common enough they make the rule explosive. There is a vast rulespace for that particular reaction and perhaps you can find other non-explosive interesting rules....

You can also use longer Margolus oscillators for different gun periods: x = 28, y = 56, rule = B2ce3eik4ej/S02ac3n5i 6b2o$6b2o$4b2o2b2o$4b2o2b2o$2b2o2b2o2b2o$2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$ 2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o 2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$2o2b2o2...

This rule has has a family of extendable diagonal oscillators whose periods increase and decrease irregularly. The sequence the periods follow doesn't look familiar to me, but the diagonal oscillators clearly are emulating a sort of 1D CA with maybe four states. x = 64, y = 17, rule = B3-jq/S1c2-i3-...

By the way, @77topaz, thanks for investigating the rules - Machine exploring is powerful indeed in finding spaceships/oscillators in rules with long rulestrings, but it tend to be cumbersome if I wish for interesting replicators or just generally novel behaviours. I have to capture the screen and e...
