Topic: Password I (Read 19794 times)

theory · « **on:** December 12, 2012, 03:26:01 pm »

This was my favorite car game of all time (based on the game show), and I wonder if it can be adapted to a forum game.

The rules:

Two teams of 2. Team A (with Player 1 and Player 2) and Team B (with Player 3 and Player 4).

Player 3 whispers (PMs) a word to Player 1. This is the PASSWORD. It must be a single word, no proper nouns.

Player 1 says (posts publicly) a single word CLUE. CLUEs must be a single word but may be any word (including proper nouns). They cannot contain or be a lexicographic variant of the PASSWORD: i.e., you cannot use "walk" as a CLUE for a PASSWORD of "walking".

Player 2 then has one shot at guessing the PASSWORD from the CLUE. Close variants of the PASSWORD are typically sufficient (i.e., "Walking" is good enough for "Walk").

If Player 2 guesses incorrectly, Player 3 says (posts publicly) a second single word CLUE.

Player 4 then has one shot at guessing the PASSWORD from both of the CLUEs that have been given so far.

If Player 4 guesses incorrectly, Player 1 says (posts publicly) a third single word CLUE. And so on and so forth, to a maximum of 6 CLUEs given in this manner. If after 6 CLUEs there are still no correct guesses, no one gets any points.

Your team scores points if you correctly guess the PASSWORD. You get points based on how many total CLUEs have been uttered -- 10 points after the first clue, 9 after the second, 8 after the third, 7 after the fourth, 6 after the fifth, and 5 after the sixth.

In the next round, Player 1 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 3, with Player 3 giving the first clue. Then Player 4 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 2, with Player 2 giving the first clue, and Player 2 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 4, with Player 4 giving the first CLUE. Then we repeat all over again.

(So the chain is: 3->1, 1->4, 4->2, 2->3.)

The winner is the first team to 100 points.

We wouldn't need a moderator, just four players. Anyone in?

Players:

Team A:
1: Insomniac
2: theory

Team B:
3: Kuildeous
4: Dsell

Example of play:

A1 & A2 v B3 & B4

B3 whispers to A1: "Fox"

A1 gives clue: "Crafty"
A2 guesses: "Devious"
B3 gives clue: "Rommel"
B4 guesses: "Fox" -- earning 9 points

Dsell · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:01:45 pm »

I assume we're allowed to do some outside research in order to give a better clue?

So if you try to trip my up by giving me a really obscure lawyer word, I could research it and give a clue based on that? And Kuildeous could research my clue to find the most likely word?

theory · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:03:28 pm »

Yes. No limitations on Googling and such. But you obviously cannot communicate with your teammates outside of the clues.

Dsell · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:03:59 pm »

Of course. Cool!

theory · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:04:42 pm »

I hope that doesn't negatively affect the game. In real life you obviously can't Google, which makes the game more of a test of how well you know your teammate's thought processes.

Dsell · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:07:31 pm »

I'd be fine playing with a no-googling rule, but googling is fine too.

In the example I gave, Insomniac may have similar trouble guessing your word if he didn't know lawyer jargon. But the googling definitely helps if teammates have some sort of knowledge advantage over the others (same profession, RL friends, etc).

OTOH, Googling is not that easy when you're only talking about single words! So let's give it a shot and if it ruined this game we'll know better for Password II: Revenge of the Password.

Insomniac · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2012, 04:10:24 pm »

I think googling is fine here, there IS a game breaking strategy with it but I don't suspect that will be a problem here as it requires some planning and at that point you might as well just pm the answer which is obviously a rules violation.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #48 on:** December 13, 2012, 11:54:00 am »

Not sure if DSell was wanting to throttle me for using "Quiet." I could only think of more synonyms, and I felt that would have beaten the word to death. I tried something different, which is difficult to do when you can only give one word.

Dsell · « **Reply #49 on:** December 13, 2012, 11:54:31 am »

I really should've gotten it with "Quiet."

Zoot almost definitely would've done it.

No "quiet" was a great clue. But it's really hard to know whether it's a descriptor or a synonym or some other sort of associated word without context. We'll get it yet, though!

No, that's a small oversight. It should say that you can give any word as a clue except the password itself (and probably any words that share the same root, although man that would be a dumb clue).

Yeah I updated the rules for Password II, and I'll do so now.

No use of the PASSWORD or variant thereof as the CLUE, and guessing a variant of the PASSWORD is good enough.

In retrospect maybe I should have gone the sports route earlier. But I was worried you'd get confused with "Yankee" possibly referring to the NYY.

For Yankee I thought of American, then doodle. Jefferson I thought of Stadium, President, Patriot, and I hadn't seen the other two until this morning.

It occurred to me that in the car we did

3->1
1->3
4->2
2->4

out of convenience. But online, it might make more sense to do:

3->1
1->4
4->2
2->3

Anyone mind if we switch over to this format after this K->I / 1->3 round?

So I made a bit of a goof that I just caught now. Talking to DSell we agree the best solution is to reveal the word and start the round over.

The word was Atlantis. Neither of us realized it until this morning. Sorry again guys. I'm gonna pm DSell another word now
