The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Here is a little game where you make something called a Fannee Doolee.

What's a Fannee Doolee?

Fannee Doolee is one weird person.  Your job is to figure out what she likes and dislikes.  There is a rule to what she likes and dislikes, but don't expect me to tell ya.

Here are some examples to give you an idea:

Fannee Doolee likes oranges, but doesn't like fruit.  Why do you think that is?

Fannee Doolee likes jeans, but doesn't like pants.  Why do you think that is?

Fannee Doolee likes CDs, but doesn't like music.  Why do you think that is?

----

Have you figured it out yet?

Join in the game if you have. :)

- A radical northern Irish protestant who doesn't like fruits?
Fannee Doolee likes jeans, but doesn't like pants. Why do you think that is?
- Sorry, no idea.
Fannee Doolee likes CDs, but doesn't like music. Why do you think that is?
- Fannee Doolee likes CDs but only for decorative purposes or only CDs which contain computer games?

Hmmm so how exactly does this work? Like once someone finishes the answers for one, they start another one?

This sounds fun :D hehe

You see, a Fannee Doolee is rather confusing. (It took me a good 5 years to figure out how it works.)

You see, there is one little rule that applies to ALL of the things Fannee Doolee likes and dislikes.

Let me help you a bit.  What is really the common thing with Fruit, Pants and Music?

These are topics.  These are the things she dislikes.

What is really the common thing with Oranges, Jeans and CDs?

They're all in depth of their respective topics.  These are the things she likes.

Get it now? :)

This is what a Fannee Doolee is.  Someone who likes one thing of a topic, but doesn't like it all together.

I'm sure that by giving you this, you can come up with some Fannee Doolees now. :)

Of course, the rule with a Fannee Doolee is to ask at the end of each one, "Why do you think that is?"

I think that must've thrown you off, Malte. :) Terribly sorry. :^.^:

Well with that, I'm sure you can play this game now.

I think I see how it works, but I really think you should've put rock or something to go alongside music, not CDs since with the other ones you gave examples of a fruit and pants, but not music...you gave a form of distribution.  :P:

I'm already playing this game better than you.  :lol:

I'll have to think about how to create a new one though...it is confusing! :p

^^You're right, Roger!  Rock would've been a better choice with music. :)

Okay, here's one for you.

Fannee Doolee likes pink, but doesn't like colors.  Why do you think that is?

She likes the band "Pink"
"Pink" but she is colourblind.
