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.

seems like t5 is what we are on so far
let's see what d1 and ervin think
also, I think we have a few options for c in case we whiff on T; does anybody see any good A words? We have to decide which T to use
T5 for sure. We don't need to discuss other letters because it can't miss.
We still have to take either left or right for next round
My vote is to take from left to expose the C; it both works better for second word in an emergency and it prevents next round if we go with A on right then we have C C on both sides by exposing one of the Cs earlier
Sure, left side.
I’m good with left
Fire
Trevi
We’ll make it officially left side T
uh oh... idk what that is :(
Lol no idea
Sounds italian
I reckon we just bold Italy and move forward
Its not italy but yh
it's capitalized, so it's probably a name?
Italiano lol
I think we have to move on, its a complete guess
can we guess italian sandals? lol
maybe trevi is some kind of footware
italian sandals
We are not men of culture
I’d say that’s in and around 0%
So when you think of our word, c9 comes to mind, but going c9 gives them too many ways to go
C7 seems good but they could go one of two words
A4 could work, but not sure if it’s allowed
can't go A until we go with another T unless we skip the T and take the penalty
Oh that’s right, my bad
Is your C9 related to C4?
My c7 can also be a c9 depending on which version is better
The other c9 I was talking about I don’t wanna say as it can take them down different paths
I do have a t6 that may help some if it comes to it
And an a8 if needed
Still I’m not confident in any line at this point; don’t have the easy letters
I’m not sure what c4 is
