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.

Yh id go needle i think
Man i wish we got heroin
idk how i missed the post with doctor/nurse, if h10 is healthcare it could be those? but still seems strange no hospital but then again maybe they don't think we need it/what would it have to really do with a needle anyway
Well I haven't thought of anything new
You wanting to go needle? Nothing else really coming to mind for me
needle
no
A11?
Whatever you think
I guess from the right? Unless someone has a good jovw backup
From the right, yeah. Should I just go?
May as well
amphetamine
You guys are like 90% there btw. Don't overthink it.
Well i wanna say syringe now
Yea it's gotta be right? Or how else are we 90 lol
I'm good with it if u don't have any other thoughts and wanna fire it
syringe
Indeed
H10 was hypodermic
Tough to differentiate between syringe and needle, but injector > inject/injection was the reason for that.
Wouldn't hypodermic have more to do with needle tho?
Was a good clue and we maybe overthought, an h6 woulda helped I think but also tough to play the "oh this woulda been nice" game, plenty of times nich has mentioned our word as #1 candidate but the confirmers aren't ideal and this was kinda that scenario

Yeah, hypodermic hit needle harder, which is why it wasn't clued.
Nich pretty much said that in this post:
i7 may be better than the obvious i6/i9 and h10 because it avoids [redacted] better
maybe g5 but meh
I7 was insulin (I think), so the same principle as heroin basically.
Ooooh
Well yea lol
I def didn't figure out hypodermic
We needed the heroin!! Know your audience!
nice! hit right away
surely he'll get off needle because hay/haystack wasn't clued and we just had that conversation a few games ago...
Ooo
I think if we get h10 we work it out?
If it was syringe what is h10?
Same with needle?
If needle hairpin is good?
nice; no hairpin should get him off needle also
even better! lack of heroin means not needle
Yea I can't believe I'm saying this sentence but the lack of heroin does make this confusing lol
Maybe we can think of other injecty things? Vaccine, medicine, maybe something for food?
yes, lack of heroin does harm needle
so i6 is inject, i9 is injection
could be some kinda dye or maybe hair coloring? would really like to figure out the h10
maybe it's something like healthcare?
they didn't talk much so maybe it is just syringe or needle and we're overthinking it
yes, don't overthink it; back to syringe or needle, and needle is right out due to the last few posts (and lack of HAY)
wat
exactly; get back off needle and over to syringe!
Well I haven't thought of anything new
You wanting to go needle? Nothing else really coming to mind for me
you forgetting about something?
sigh
ya'll got it in 2 so a decent round for a hard word; good job
Round 7:
Cards used: 9
Guessers: ervin/bolt
The Board:
A | JOVW | M | C | S | EF |RG
The target word:
Sent to d1/zeus/ibd
got a g7 and a g5?
or a a5?
a5 came to mind for the domain
opposite a8 could help them differentiate or opposite g5 similarly can help differentiate
Pretty sure I know the g5/7, but no idea on the others.
I think r6 could work.
Think about how they could get it wrong and then what my opposites would be to figure out what a8 and g5 opposites are
