No we shouldn't. This is clearly just a bad variation of Pedestrian Life. For example, Boe's ship:TheWayOfTheCon wrote: August 7th, 2026, 11:18 am Has anyone investigated this OT rule? It seems really promising.
I think we should investigate this rule more.

I think they're just referring to lifeenthusiasts as in, people who focus on CGOL. Two types of OCA enthusiasts would be cool though.LuveelVoom wrote: September 8th, 2026, 1:27 pm

(greek god/celestial object)(number), transfem, debates whether men actually exist, found a reaction used in 50% of conduits
(first letter of first name)(last name), grizzled 40-60 year old programmer, wrote a program everyone uses, either contributed nothing to other fields of math or a shit ton of stuff
(minecraft username), 14-24 years old, only explores int rules, sandbox thread where they throw random discoveries, 16 core computer but doesn’t realize you can multithread apgsearch
(random string of 3-6 characters), nobody knows anything about them, 50-100 forum posts and no discord account, every post is an extremely elaborate and complex construction at least 2 months ahead of the rest of the thread’s tech in a random rule and it’s their only post in that rule’s thread
(word vaguely resembling name), probably 80 years old, speaks weirdly, never posts any normal constructions, only posts elaborate life art but outputs it at an absurd pace for how complex it is
