This is a game that's inspired by a game on another forum. Every post, provide an explanation and an RLE for the next person to explain.
Here's the starting RLE:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

Violation of conservation of momentum; if two are going down and one is going up, the combined object should be going slightly down.

A symmetric nine, which by itself would become 55 including five symmetric threes, six highly-symmetric fours and two highly-symmetric eights, instead hits an asymmetrically positioned highly-symmetric four and eventually becomes 12-22-18-40-18-18-20-28-20-20-22-18-22-20-16 and 428.

(oops messed up the quote)

The two flipping arrows bounce off the two flipping cubes and make a sideways arrow going sideways and not up. The arrows bounce off one another in the same way on the cubes again. The sideways arrow hits the upwards arrow (which is going upwards) and goes inwards in the arrow and is lost. 30 times per time.

You broke the post cooldown rule. Twice. I will report the next post that breaks the post cooldown rule.

Edit: b-engine also broke it. Once again, I’ll report the next post that breaks the post cooldown rule.
Edit 2: If I really have to, I'll add "no explanations including other users" (which may be expanded to other people). Why? This happened, but wasn’t really rule-violating:
