hotcrystal0's random stuff

[hotcrystal0]

Hi, brand new page!

I realized something... many newcomers (mistakenly) think that the LifeWiki contains all known information about CGoL, even things like random still lives, P2s, medium-lived methuselahs etc.
Why is this the case?

That wasn’t really the case with me.

Anyways, I present:
Newcomers in a nutshell

Cool, a new still life.

Code: Select all

 x = 8, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
3b2o$3bo$2obobo$2ob2obo$6bo$6b2o!

Hello, and welcome to the forums! That still life was known for a long time. New ones aren’t interesting unless that have catalytic properties.

Ok then. What about this 169-gen methuselah?

Code: Select all

 x = 6, y = 4, rule = B3/S23
2o3bo$obo2bo$obo2bo$bo!

Methuselahs aren't usually particularly interesting, unless they set a new record or contain a rare object.

Pure glider generator made of a pentadecathlon and a blinker. Is it new? It does not appear to be on the wiki.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
bo$bo$obo$bo$bo4bo$bo4bo$bo4bo$obo$bo$bo!

I would like you to refrain from using viewer tags and use code tags instead:

Code: Select all

 x = 7, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

Right now, I feel like having that thread locked is an insult to me.

Assuming you mean the "100 Reasons Reloaded" thread: how is it an insult to you specifically? Also, what's the deal with the "Lock this as soon as possible" thread?

I put the rules there to prevent it from getting locked, but people didn’t care. So I give up on this sort of thing.
There’s no point in asking a moderator to unlock it, so I give up.

Maybe they're seeing the success of B35/S23 and trying to copy it? Just a guess.

Maybe September-October is New Users Season.

there are 2 types of people: those who dont use diacritics and ẗhõśė ẃhõ dõ, bǘẗ ėxčėśśįvėlÿ.

Shouldn't this thread be pinned?

Why? I don't think it is a good idea.
I think a more reasonable way would be to create an issue-specific thread, whenever there's some nontrivial issue without an obvious solution that is not limited to just a few wiki pages.

Unrelated, I marked for deletion two of your subpages, as content unrelated to the purpose of LifeWiki. I think such content serves no helpful purpose.
User:Hotcrystal0/How likely will a thread get locked
User:Hotcrystal0/copy of unname66609's userpage

That first thread was made for fun, and the second is just an archive. Dvgrn removed the delete template.

[confocaloid]

"Just an archive" of content that does not contribute anything helpful, is again content that does not contribute anything helpful. The wiki is not supposed to be an indiscriminate collection of information.

I know that. The reason the article even exists is because the original one got deleted.

It's a userpage rather than an article. Even as a userpage, these pages are not part of any effort to contribute something helpful. I don't really know why those pages exist.

I don’t think that’s a valid reason to flag a page for deletion.

With that said: confocaloid's point re: WP:POLEMIC is well-taken. I don't read that particular user page in that way, but if unname66609 disagrees and wants the page gone, they can message me and I will delete it.

I have added a foreword to the page explaining that: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/User:Hotcry ... s_userpage
