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?

Didn't we just discuss this?

We did... scroll down in this thread to see it.

List some clues and I'll tell you if I permit it.

In what?

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

Password: Sunday......Clue: Saturday
Password: Postman.....Clue: Mailman
Password: Astrologer...Clue: Astrologist

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.

Astrologist for astrologer? Abso-freakin'-lutely not.

Buzz, buzz, and buzz.

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.

Oh? I'll be damned.

Password: Sunday......Clue: Saturday - OK
Password: Postman.....Clue: Mailman - OK
Password: Astrologer...Clue: Astrologist - NO (form of the password)

"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"?

Why would that stop anybody? :)

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

... and it won't be the last.

That reminds me. Isn't it time to restart the talks about Bob Barker's succession?

Like how he succeeded with Janice and Dian? ZING!

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.

(Eyes pop out of head), Oy yoy yoy, and I thought we had talked about this to death, :-P

OH and does anyone have any rare game show cues they're willing to give me for nothing in return?!?! :P

What game show will Bob Barker's corpse host?

I think Tom Bergeron should take over when Bob retires.

I'll be over here if you need me...

In the words of Richard Bey: WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE?
Answer: They're the holdovers from Price who had to settle for free tickets to the Late Late Show, they can't help themselves.

Not only that, but when the subject comes up. . .

We have to talk in different sizes and font colors.

Like this.

Doug -- BFG and Mike need to save some room on the trip to hell.

As long as I get the aisle--I have long legs and a weak bladder. :-P

Sounds like a Detrol commercial in the making... :-)
