Made an absolutely useless 900-gen diehard from it
pattern

Please refrain from posting patterns that are not notable. This is not notable for 3 reasons:
1. Too big.
2. Too short.
3. Weirdly made.

Well how do i delete it, there isn't the delete option for some reason

I want to name this one 2L 4s, because it consists of two loaves hassling a constellation of four ships. An alternative name would be “Mal” or “Malic”, because on xen wiki the 2L 4s MOS scale is named “malic”.
By the way, I think that the P3 commonly used in LCMs needs a name. Perhaps it could be something about a key?

I think that a good period to try and make in this rule now would be 27, due to being a multiple of 3. It is just slightly too low a period to use a reflector loop, but I think we might be able to make a faster p3 reflector or hassle an active region at period 27.
To try and help with the first method, I am going to find some T/G reactions with common objects that produce a T/G in 20 generations or less.
Edit: reactions so far:
