Title: "Password"
Post by: Dbacksfan12 on July 25, 2005, 04:40:12 AM

Recently, in "Palace", conflicts have arose as to what clue giving rules should be allowed, and what shouldn't.

You're in the producers chair. What do you permit?

Palace. It's an interactive chat room where some of us go to play net game shows.

Wouldn't the first two examples be disallowed because they
have a form of the word in the Password?

I would have chosen: Sabbath for Sunday.

Sunday: Sabbath.
Postman: Mailperson.
Astrologer: Stargazer.

Those are what I'd say.

"Mailperson" is a coined word. I don't think it would fly either.

Sunday: Sabbath.
Postman: Mailperson.
Astrologer: Stargazer.

"Stargazer" will get you "astronomer". "Horoscoper" is OK (it's a word; look it up).

Mailperson is OK but you'll sound like a dork saying it.

We have a winner, in my eyes.  The whole part of the word thing should justly apply when the key component of the password is in play (usually the majority of the word).  So Saturday for Sunday is permissable as is Postman for Mailman.  But, the last is just too much even though they are different occupations per se.  Isn't this the umpteenth thread of "Is this Password/Pyramid clue legal here"?

The "form of the word" rule means they have to be forms of the same word.

BOB IS RETIRING?!?  I think his replacement should be...

Also, I have 13 different ideas of how retired pricing games could be brought back with rule changes...I will post them along with my GSN dream schedule and picks for permanent Barker's Beauties in a poll in which nobody is likely to participate.
