User:Entity Valkyrie 2
"Entity Valkyrie" is a life enthusiast. He started Conway's Game of Life in 2017.
His worst enemy is Bx222.
He also has a terrible past (Entity Valkyrie 1), having lots of problems with editing on LifeWiki.
He is someone who does things by hand.
He is also the inventor of the rule StateInvestigator, and despite its similarities to ExtendedLife and ExtendedLifeFancy, this rule was invented independently of those two rules.

Guns by Entity Valkyrie
(pages under construction)
Guns in bold are nonstandard spaceship guns. Only guns with a lot of "parts" are shown here. These guns are not shown:
- Hasslers or dependent reflectors (or interacting pairs) that happen to produce gliders (possibly with period multipliers)
- Herschel loops and Herschel tracks (other than quetzals and tracks with whose input is not a 1G-to-H)
Composite guns that contain these "simple" glider guns as a component are shown, however.
Note: Not all of the guns (especially the earlier ones) are optimized. Some of the guns are also for "training" myself — smaller guns may have already existed at the time.
