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.

d7 and d3 are great. even i know what they are!
but i think a3 would get it too, and the DL card is way better than the A card. so let's try to save the DL card, and clue a3
I agree with the a3 clue.
Aol best
I think DL>A long term
Zeus, you gotta edit that post...
Well I saw it now so...
Is AOL our A3 clue?
Yeah, too late now. That is the clue then.
Assuming AOL 3 capital letters cause I don't imagine much lowercase in this
So ok, we have like internet, modem, chat - prob one of those based on my track record of snapping off and overthinking 20 posts
The d7 thing maybe dial-up
D3 could be DSL
Random game thought - I'm thinking acronyms shouldn't be allowed as we're already thinking things may be too easy/no inside letters/etc
Not that I've had an easy time guessing(besides getting carried by excellent partners like D1 and hi-hatter IBD!)
Pace has been nice tho so maybe no changes needed
Anyway, internet or modem imo. Unless the word is "disconnect" when ur online and someone picks up the landline telephone(most people today will be like WTF but imagine some people here understand)
aol
Errrr
Id just woken up lol
Sorry
Yeah, has to be internet imo.
Cool w it if u wanna bold
Can throw in modem as freeroll or just show off n bink
internet modem
indeed

NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 5 CARDS IN THE GAME
Twas internet. nailed it
Word sent
Got an ok 7
I have a L58 that has nothing to do with the word
I've got a pretty sweet c11. Maybe slightly risky, but I think it'll work.
I'm on board with C11
Ok I'm going in. Could probably do something like a d4 or d7 if it misses.
Cranberries
Rock band is the first thing that comes to mind.
Need to think about D4/7
Oh, maybe zombie
D4 = dead?
