Here's a game to get you thinking.
Moobles are mystical creatures. They have odd likes and dislikes. You need to figure the pattern for why they like certain things but dislike others. The first person to get the pattern and get 5 likes and dislikes right wins. If you get it wrong, you lose a point. Once you know the pattern, don;t tell others what it is. You can't guess twice in a row. Now to start the round... take a guess and I'll tell you if it's right or wrong.
Moobles like carrots, but dislike tomatoes.

I will start with a new pattern.

Wait, is it a new pattern?
I think so.

I think so.
So you're not sure?
-
Im really confused.
-
I'll begin a new pattern:
Moobles like :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:, but dislike Shaka Zulu?
-
Does this pattern have to do with Legends?
-
Moobles like :lol:, but dislike laughing?
-
Moobles like :twisted:, but dislike Satan?
-
Yeah, I'm not sure you really understand how this game works. Before we go any further, how do you think it works?
-

I got no idea. (Which is strange because I'm typically chockfull of ideas)
-
Well, the patterns have nothing to do with what the words mean. The last couple had to do with spelling; others might have to do with how the words are pronounced, but it has nothing to do with meaning. So if you set a pattern, it's gotta be something that has nothing to do with what the words mean, but how they're written or pronounced, that determines which are "good" and which are "bad." And then other people have to guess, and the first to get five pairs of likes and dislikes right first gets to guess the pattern for the win.
Hope that helps. ;)
-
I can start a new pattern if no one's gonna go.
Moobles like peanut butter, but don't like jelly.

One point for TAW.

I've been staying away from this topic because I have absolutely no idea how it works (even the explanations don't make sense to me), but I'll give it a try.
Moobles like piss, but dislike shit? :lol:
-
TAW gave an explanation on the last page...re-read that and see if it makes sense.
And as for your guess...sorry, that's wrong.

-
THK wins this round! The pattern, as most of you have guessed, was that Moobles like things with two words in their name (i.e. "peanut butter", "Sesame Street", etc.), but don't like things with one word in their name (i.e. "jelly", "Muppets", etc.). ;)

Looks like PP319 wins while THK and TAW have 3 and 2 respectively (as of PP319's last post). The pattern is words beginning with a vowel. Your turn, PP319.
-
I think I understand how this game works now. :D
Here's a new pattern:

The pattern was "Moobles like things that end with vowels, but dislike things that end with consonants."
I was iffy about "mystery" because it ended in a Y. However, some people consider Y a vowel, so I accepted it.
-
Yeah, the main reason I made a guess with "mystery" was because I figured the Y acted like a vowel there. :P Anywho, my go:
Moobles like tens, but not elevens.

Moobles like tennis, but dislike football?

Sadly, that's not it.

Well, all the scores are still the same. Not sure if this would be a good hint, but the pattern has nothing to do with what letters the words begin and end with.

Moobles like homes but dislike houses?
I honestly have no clue what this pattern is, I'm just guessing. :lol:
-
Moobles like pearls but dislike diamonds?
-
Moobles like noses but dislike eyes
-
Moobles like guts but dislike glory?
If that doesn't get me a point, then I quit the current Moobles trend. :P
-
No new points yet, actually. But if you try longer words, the answer might pop up more often. :P

If nobody seems to have figured it out by 2 PM on Saturday (a week from when I started this pattern), I'll just post the answer and let whoever wants to start a new pattern. But for now, keep trying at it. :P

...Yeah, I meant for that to be a harder one, but maybe not by that much. I did want a pattern that involved checking the dislikes for a change, but the pattern was that each dislike had to have three or more of the same letter in the word. I suggested trying longer words to spot the pattern since it didn't really show up with most of the shorter early examples. :P
Anywho, rjaguar3, you're up!
-
Ok, here it goes.
Moobles like going, but dislike coming.
-
Moobles like peaches, but dislike oranges?
-
Nope.
-
Moobles like slipping but dislike sliding?
-
Moobles like alfalfa, but dislike thyme
-
PurpleParrot319 is incorrect, Headless King is correct.

Correct.
The Headless King: 1
PurpleParrot319: 1
-
Moobles like snakes, but dislike jaguars. Sorry, rjaguar3. :P
-
Moobles like Otto but dislike Twister. Rocket Power reference. ;)

Both are correct. And no need to apologize, TAW; I made the same guess the last round, when it wasn't correct.

PurpleParrot319 wins!
The rule, as I guess you figured out, is that moobles like things that begin and end with the same letter.
-
Time for a new pattern.
Moobles like peach but dislike apple.
-
Moobles like dogs, but dislike animals?
-
Close, but no.

Are you sure that your rule specifies that every word is either liked or disliked by the Moobles, and that there aren't words that the Moobles neither like nor dislike?
-
Oops, I switched the two above. :?
-
You did RJF.
This might sound dumb, but I don't understand what rjaguar3 is saying.
-
Then I'll rephrase.
Moobles like Milky but dislike Andromeda.
Also, the pattern is very clear.
-
RJF gets another point. And just so you know, for me, Y's are wild cards. They can be both a vowel and a consonant.

THK: 0
-
You did RJF.
This might sound dumb, but I don't understand what rjaguar3 is saying.
My apologies. I was checking that, for any word X, the moobles like X or dislike X. That is, the rule is not of the form:
Moobles like words with exactly 1 'Q' and dislike words with 2 or more 'Q's
which would make it that words with no 'Q's are neither liked nor disliked by the moobles and thus can never be part of a valid guess.
I hope this makes sense.

-
Moobles like Jeep but dislike Kias?
-
Sorry...incorrect.
-
Moobles like seven, but dislike eight?
-
Still wrong.
-
Bump, if anyone wants to take a crack at it. Here's the clue again:
Moobles like sheep, but dislike goats.
-
Moobles like Spain but dislike Laos?
-
No, that's wrong too.
Here's a much-needed hint: the likes and dislikes have to do with grammar.
-
Moobles like geese, but dislike ducks
-
Moobles like apples but dislike fruit?

-
That's another one right.

-
Alright, looks like I'll have to give an ultimatum:
The first person to post a correct answer will win this round, and gets to post another puzzle.
-
Moobles like onomatopoeia but dislike metaphors?
-
Close, PP319, but no cigar.
-
Moobles like octopi, but dislike whales
-
You know, this one was a bit hard. I know the pattern, but coming up with the words is the hard part.
-
THK got it, and he wins this round.
And in hindsight, yes, I admit this may have been a little too hard...the pattern, as most of you have figured out, was that Moobles like words which don't have the letter 'S' in their plural form. I actually had to look up words like "Jeep" and "onomatopoeia" to make certain about their plural forms...
Anyhow, it's THK's turn now.
-
I was surprised to see onomatopoeia not being counted. I probably should've known.
-
I was surprised to see onomatopoeia not being counted. I probably should've known.
I had to look it up, and "onomatopoeia" has two accepted plural forms: "onomatopoeias" and "onomatopoeiae". I would have accepted the latter, which is why I said you were close.
