I'm glad he/she changed the thing to "fortnight," accepting my suggestions.

As my rule has 2 votes, I'm gonna reveal its key feature:

RotW 5's voting period ended on the start of April 29th, so votes made after then will be for RotF 1.
Please tell me if you would like your votes for RotW 5 counted instead for RotF 1.

By the way, I have a suggestion that I'd like consensus on: Should weeks with an undecided Rule of the Week/Fortnight (such as RotW 2-3 and 5) have their "week/fortnight number" not counted (so RotW4 would become RotW2, for instance)?

Edit: I haven't voted yet for RotF 1. My nomination and my vote is for B2n3-jknr4ky5-eqry6ik7c8/S234cktwz5ai6-ci7c (CloudyMist).

Should we not try adding a tiebreaker to help decide the winner? (It would not help in this case, but overall it could make a difference.)
The earliest nominated rule involved in the tie should win.

I would expect more confusions of the same kind, which is unfortunate, but might be inevitable. Even with POTY/OCADOTY people are getting confused; less time -> more misunderstandings.

It comes from the ignored 7 generation push combined with the 8 gen push, 7+8=15. A p14 wick is possible, but no fenceposrsca are known. The p31 wick is also based on this.

Also, I don’t ROTF should be for rules with threads. I think it should be an “early development” thread. Once enough is discovered, a thread can be made.

I think, it is possible to create computer-generated random rules and just nominate them for RotF.

Use my INT rule generator!

I actually wrote a random rule generator in Scratch a long while ago; here's one of the more "interesting" outputs:

Code: Select all

#C [[ RANDOMIZE ]]
x = 1, y = 1, rule = B2ik3aiknr4-ajnrz5cen6en7e8/S1e2ei3-enq4iknq5acijr6akn8
o!

Of course, it's explosive but maybe a few tweaks would result in a workable rule.
