SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread
In this thread, we will play a new word game called Sides. It's somewhat similar to codenames, but cooperative and different.
Sign up with /in below if you want to play.
In this game, a target word will be randed as will a row of 7 cards that have letters on them (most 1 letter, some 2/3/4 letters).
2 people will be the guessers and everyone else will be able to give a clue.
The clue given must start with the letter on either the first or last card (the 'sides' of the row).
We discuss as a team who will give the clue with open discussion in the thread such as "I have a 7 letter word starting with a C"
Once there is some agreement on who gives the clue, that person will bold the clue they want to give in the thread.
The two guessers will then discuss in the thread and bold their guess. If it's correct, we move on to the next guessers and the next word. If wrong, then the clue givers post some info like "you are warm" or "you are about 30% there" etc to give directional info on how on track/off track their guess is.
Then they discuss and give another clue. But the person who bolded a clue cannot give another clue for the same word until everyone on the cluing side has clued a word (if we take that long to get the word), so one person can't hog the cluing.
Clues have to be one word, or an acronym, etc like in codenames; they can be hyphenated words
We can also give some info on how the clues relate to each other, or even say a clue is a 0 clue, so the opposite of what cluing for (e.g., clue 'colorful' as an opposite clue because the word is zebra)
I'll provide more details and examples in the thread in the morning, but this should be enough info for you to /in and join so we can play.

Nothing for a5/s7 yet
S6 first mentioned clue would be statue
I don’t think we have
s4 slab
"s6 ok but not great"
"a5 and s7 are confirmers but on their own won't do it obv"
"s5 another confirmer"
"s5 that I never knew was...something...idk if they know it"
"s4 seems great actually"
"a7 hits decently from a different angle but not a bink"
"a5 as a confirmer seems pretty strong while not a great clue on its own"
S6 ok but not great
Apple and Samsung are confirmers but on their own won’t do it obv
Stone another confirmer
S5 that I never knew was something
Slab seems great actually
Aspirin hits decently from a different angle but not a bink
Apple as a confirmer seems pretty strong while not a great clue on its own
I'm ready to bold tablet.
lol almost all the clues work so well for beef, meat, marble and tablet
Tablet fits best I think tho
We had beef and meat woulda been easier and not slab
Marble is ok but not quite
Tablet links Apple/samsung together while I don’t have an a5/s7 that work together like that for marble
stone tablet
They also never mentioned p4 for pill!
Too late
No Parthenon for marble either
Really if target were tablet I woulda clued p2 for pc
Tho TabletPCs were really a 2003-2007 thing then iPad came along
You magnificent bastards
awesome!
great cluing
clue a word that only hits a few things and then sprinkle some confirmers on top

Well I randed an easy one.
A5 is a confirmer. Someone bold N5 and let's move on to the next one. I feel icky about bolding a clue before anyone else has opened their DM.
Bolt just lost randing privileges

I think you are wrong; the script should avoid any prior words; search this thread to double check tho
