Something worse [GAME]

This thread is inspired by
a Reddit post.
Rules:
- Post a scenario about CA or the forums that is worse than the one above. Include an RLE if at all possible.
- Try to go slowly, like My Number is Larger.
- If you can’t think of one, reply with "100 parking spaces" and another scenario to restart the game.
- Of course, no scenarios about other users. General terms like "a user" or "a moderator" are fine, but avoid describing them any further like "the user whose profile picture is a blocked P4-1".
I’ll start: you find a c/9 spaceship after only three hours of searching.

I'm not aware of any known 16x16 C1
soups for the 2-engine Cordership. In particular there were no Catagolue soups, otherwise the spaceship would appear in
b3s23/C1.

apg finds a soup containing a natural Sir Robin but a nearby tornado flings a boulder through your (edit 1: closed) window into your computer destroying the haul before it is uploaded

100 parking spaces since I accidentally broke my own rule, and I want a restart because of that. There will likely be no early restarts after this.
You find a glider synthesis for almost knightship.

You have an idea for an even smaller (34,7)c/156 spaceship but you fall down the stairs and get an injury that makes you forget the idea.

You found a reflector by hand but your parents declares it as "wasting time" and discards it.
Should I make a "Something better [GAME]" ?

See the 2-engine cordership wiki page.
Currently the wiki page only mentions existence of
engineered (non-random) predecessors.
As far as I know, there were no 16-by-16
soups for 2EC yet (whether Catagolue-censused or otherwise).

Anyway, the singularity happens. All computers and phones stop working. Lifetechnology is set back 30 years.

You wrote a program that can find many interesting multistate rules, but your brother misinterpret it as a "virus" and get rid of it.

You wrote a program that can find many interesting HROT weighted rules, but your archenemy takes away your computer the next day and so you lost the program.

You wrote a @TREE to @TABLE converter, but because it runs on Scratch, it takes forever to run.
