Give the rule a name..?

[hibiscus]

It has been... quite a long time since the last post in this thread, to say the least.
I think a revival is therefore in order. The main reason I'm reviving this thread is to introduce some of the newer forum members to the concept. Of course, the rules will have to be bent ever so slightly so the process for electing RotF 10 (which will be elected on 15 September 2025) can commence.
I nominate B3/S23-a5 (Travelling Ts) and B2n3-enqy4cijrwyz5cinqy6kn78/S01e2ein3eikry4-ciry5-aeky6ein7e8 (Primeria) and vote for them.

[CARuler]

I nominate photons10v3 and vote for it

[hibiscus]

The voting period is over. All three nominees have tied with one vote each, which means that the first rule listed in the earliest nomination (B3/S23-a5 and B2n3-enqy4cijrwyz5cinqy6kn78/S01e2ein3eikry4-ciry5-aeky6ein7e8) wins.
B3/S23-a5 (Travelling Ts) has won Rule of the Fortnight 10, although it'll only be officially recognized as such on 2025-09-15.

[hibiscus]

B3/S23-a5 (Travelling Ts) has won RotF 10!

[islptng]

My nomination is B2cik3-cijn4cknqr5ceijkr6ekn7/S1c2acn3-aijq4cjktw5ejny6aen7c8. Also a vote for it.

Redo this because I want more people to investigate the rule
(go here instead of there).

[LuveelVoom]

Hibiscus just posted a quote from here that reminded me about the existence of this. Is anyone interested in picking this back up? I'd propose that people should probably nominate rules without current active investigation, so as to encourage exploration of old or novel rules.

Allow me to nominate this rule by rabbit on the discord, golfed from the block reaction found by me:

Code: Select all

x = 44, y = 16, rule = B3-e5k6ek/S23

Update: variant with a small 2c/28. I'd like to nominate this one instead.

  This rule is explosive in C1 because of a backrake causing D2 explosions to propagate faster than they get destroyed.

[Ninedlingss]

I will nominate conductive (B3-qr4k5cek6c/S23-a4er56aek) because a lot of stuff had already been discovered there(and possibly more logic stuff)
(Also,should I make a port of RotFr in OCA with all previous messages(as of 2026)?)(I am doing that port right now to OCA)(oh,okay.)
Edit: the port is here!: https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic ... 02#p238802

This is a remake of RotF, the rules stood the same as in the original(credit to hibiscus and luveel):

This idea was proposed by LuveelVoom in the Discord server, but it never gained much traction. So, allow me to introduce you to...
Rule of the Fortnight!
During two weeks, people explore the current Rule of the Fortnight. While we explore the current rule, we also decide on the next Rule of the Fortnight:
For 3 days (from the start of the fortnight), while exploring the current rule, people can nominate a rule, and vote up to three rules that they feel like should become the next Rule of the Fortnight (once picked, the Rule of the Fortnight cannot be nominated again for 2 months. You should also try and include reasons for your nomination).
For the remainder of the fortnight, people can vote for the rules which have been nominated; however, no new rules can be nominated in this time frame, and at least one vote must be for a rule they did not nominate.
Nominations and votes, once placed, cannot be changed. Please think wisely.
If two rules happen to be tied in votes at the end of the voting period, the rule nominated earlier shall become the RotF. If both of them were nominated at the same time, [amendment 2] the first rule listed in the original nomination will become the RotF.
Any rule which can be run in Golly and LiveViewer without ruletables can be nominated, however; rules should be interesting, at the very least. Whether or not a rule is interesting is a subjective opinion, but please do not go nominating rules like B/S.

But well, I modded some rules as well as new ones:

• You can change your nominated rule…but only on the very day you nominated it,votes can’t be changed.

• On first week of each RotFr, nominate any rule you deem interesting(OG rules above), on the 2nd week of each RotFr, voting time begins,and the cycle repeats per RotFr

As of now, the first RotFr voting has begun, here are the nominees:
Nominees for RotFr 1
1. B3-e5k6eik/S23 (1 vote as of now)
2. B2cin3akqy4citwz5aikqr6cen8/S12aik3cejny4-eiqtz5-akqy6aek78 (CheckerboardCircuitry) (2 votes as of now)
3. B2cin3aceiy4cqr5k6eik78/S12-ck3cikqy4-knrtw5aknqr6ac7e8 (Spiderwebs) (3 votes as of now)
4. B3-qr4k5cek6c/S23-a4er56aek(conductive) (1 vote as of now)
5. B2e3aeiy4ce5i6c7e/S2-n3-a4artz5aeny6cn (Savanna) (1 vote as of now)
6. B012-in3-cky4ar5cjnr6ae/S05aijnr6n (Plasma1) (0 votes as of now)
7. B2e3-jnqr8/S234cijrty (1 vote as of now)
8. B2ce3ai/S23 (1 vote as of now)

[TheWayOfTheCon]

My nominations:

• Savanna (B2e3aeiy4ce5i6c7e/S2-n3-a4artz5aeny6cn), gained a bit of traction in 2018 and 2019. Has two different elementary obliqueships and decent technology

• plasma1 (B012-in3-cky4ar5cjnr6ae/S05aijnr6n), B0 INT rule with Day & Night-like behavior (I believe it is also self-complimentary) and has a counterfeit glider that just has twice the period

[Disaster16439]

I nominate B2e3-jnqr8/S234cijrty.

Yeah, with some work a 4c/15 spaceship is possible, and so will be guns and circuitry. Here are the 2 main objects for conduits, I guess:

Code: Select all

 x = 28, y = 4, rule = B2e3-jnqr8/S234cijrty

I normate B2ce3ai/S23. It has the potential for self-constructing spaceships/Gemonids due to the catalytic properties of the block.

When you're bored so you GENUINELY port your concept over to Discord

Extremely basic implementation of the RotF idea that I made in a few hours while the community was on the discussion of collaborative games

[LuveelVoom]

In my personal opinion the rules should be tweaked as such:
Nominating period: 72hr (current) -> 48hr
Voting period: Entire current rule -> 48hr after nominating period ends
Voting amount: Select 3 -> Star system similar to POTY
Vote restrictions: Vote for one rule you did not nominate -> Cannot vote on own rule
Nomination restrictions: No limit (iirc?) -> Max of 2 nominated rules
Nomination restrictions: N/A -> Must not have an active forum thread (>5 posts in the last week)
Time period per rule: 14 days -> 21 days

Those are just my thoughts though, please give feedback

[Ninedlingss]

Hmmm… I did something similar of tweaking the rules in my own opinion as:

• You can change your nominated rule…but only on the very day you nominated it,votes can’t be changed.

• On first week of each RotFr, nominate any rule you deem interesting(OG rules above), on the 2nd week of each RotFr, voting time begins,and the cycle repeats per RotFr
  • Give feedback or chose whose tweak will make it to the cut i guess

Lists like these (and similar incidents) really make me wonder about how well we're stressing voting - in the Discord bot, there's a function nomvote that attempts to mitigate this issue of people not voting by nominating a rule and voting for it simultaneously. I have no idea on how I could enforce the "one rule you voted for cannot be yours" condition without effectively casting nominations into the gutter??? The "cannot vote for your own rules" condition is great in theory but subpar in practice (from the above list).

Anyhow I vote for B2cin3aceiy4cqr5k6eik78/S12-ck3cikqy4-knrtw5aknqr6ac7e8 (Spiderwebs)

[LuveelVoom]

I will be casting my three votes for:
B3-e5k6eik/S23
B2e3aeiy4ce5i6c7e/S2-n3-a4artz5aeny6cn
B2cin3aceiy4cqr5k6eik78/S12-ck3cikqy4-knrtw5aknqr6ac7e8

"but luveel why arent you voting for your pet rule conductive???" because it already has a thread and i don't want to have two active threads on the same rule for no reason???

If my rule wins RotFr, should I create a forum thread for it?

Doublepost, but it’s been four days since last post, it seems like spiderwebs is winning so far, if a rule gets the most votes here, it will get a separate thread if needed…(i guess it’s fine, i know the threads here won’t be as active as of recent days)

[islptng]

Get my vote for CheckerboardCircuitry. Mmm, Ts.
