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.

I feel I figured out the C4/C9 thing, still tricky for them to narrow it down
There's also T3 which could get them on the right track perhaps
There's also a T7/T9 in a somewhat similar domain to T3
Anybody know my c7 (or its c9 version)?
I thought of another C9 that seems ok...not sure on yours
Yeah t3 is pretty good; multiple meanings but they can work through that
Oh yeah, I like the t3. Let's do that.
Tap
water
dance
faucet
pat
bump
c9
c7
t6
a8
and a T9/T7 that are similar to tap
i don't think it can be dance, because they never said t5 for tango
Water seems the right direction
I think trevi is a place/famous version of somethng watery- so a water company, lake, fountain, pond are things watery I think we can plausibly not know.
Its not an ocean or sea or lake i think we'd know that
Could be a famous tap dancer?
lmao at famous tap dancer!
if it's water a8 could be atlantic
but i can't think of the other words. im really bad at figuring out what the words could be though
c7 current
could tevi be a brand of faucet?
the word might also be sink or bathtub
Ill be furious if its a brand of faucet
A brand of white goods is better
Current doesnt really sit with bathtub tho?
i wish an electric current was in my bathtub :(
jk lol... no, current is for water. like ocean currents
just go with water?
maybe water faucet?
Water faucets not a thing tho
Water fountain or water glass?
you don't say water faucet in the uk? we say it in usa
Lol
I reckon ive said faucet more in thos interaction than my whole life
i say we bold it, and they can tell us if it's an illegal clue. then we can bold something else if it's illegal
