We'll start with the stator/predecessor of an oscillator. Extend the stator by adding extra cells (not states 8/9/12/13/14) to it to increase the period of the oscillator. Try to keep it interesting (i.e. avoid using period multipliers or LCMs). Also, try not to completely enclose the pattern, since this would make it harder to extend. If you can't think of a way to increase the period in an interesting way, you can start a new pattern.

Example:
P10:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = StateInvestigator
2.CBD$2DE$D$E$.Q$2.RE2D!
P27:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 8, rule = StateInvestigator
5.E$4.EB$2.CBDE$2DE6.E$D8.D$E6.EBE$.Q5.Q$2.RE2DE!
P108:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 8, rule = StateInvestigator
5.E3.E$4.EB3.D$2.CBDE3.R$2DE6.E$D8.D$E6.EBE$.Q5.Q$2.RE2DE!
P276:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 12, rule = StateInvestigator
9.EQE$7.EQ$6.CD$6.D$5.E3.EQE$4.EB3.D$2.CBDE3.R$2DE6.E$D8.D$E6.EBE$.Q
5.Q$2.RE2DE!
P616:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 13, rule = StateInvestigator
12.ED$9.EQEB.ECBE$7.EQ8.DE$6.CD$6.D5.2D5.E$5.E3.EQ3ERD3.D$4.EB3.D5.E
3.E$2.CBDE3.R$2DE6.E$D8.D$E6.EBE$.Q5.Q$2.RE2DE!
Let's go!

P10:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 4, rule = StateInvestigator
4.E$E3.D$Q3.D$EDBE!

Since what I said comes true, I'll be the second:

Code: Select all

# p14
x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23Investigator
C$D3.E$E3.D$Q3.D$EDBE!
If you remove the uppermost cell you'll have a p19 in cost of breaking a rule.

The "river" thing isn't really a rule — it's just there to make it easier but still more interesting to extend, and discourage one from reaching higher periods trivially by using period multipliers or LCMs.

EDIT: I have revoked the river rule and replaced it with the less restrictive "try not to use period multipliers or LCMs".
