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.

well either way I think we go k2 because it's good and it opens up g/r words if they don't figure them out
Seems it’s go time
KC
Spoiler
Next round idea: do it without actually bolding a word. maybe we're allowed a one word suggestion each
What is KC? k
Kansas city? KC and the sunshine band? KC and JoJo?
Dunno what Jojo is. Could be for sunshine band or chiefs. No idea at this point.
Or if the q2 was QC, then maybe this is for king's counsel? But then, why would that be a potentially illegal clue?
Is kings court a thing? I havent been able to think of anything for the other letters
I don't know if king's court is a thing, but king's counsel definitely is. And I suppose qc could be seen as illegal since it changes depending on who is ruling at the time. I would never consider that to be illegal tho.
R4 = G5 is our ticket
There's chiefs and royals, idk other sports teams
I can't think of what that stuff could be still
Are you just totally ignoring king's counsel being a possibility or what? What else could q2 be other than qc?
What I don't get is how that would ever be a lock for anything, so it's probably not. I'm coming up pretty empty here.
I'm not ignoring it, I just don't know what we would guess from there
And there was no q2 I think, only q3
Haven't been able to think of anything. Any R4 doesn't really have to do with a G5
Stuff like Ring puts us into a championship domain while Group would put us into a Band realm
I've got nothing either. They all seemed to know the k2 word so you's think it would be easier than this, but I'm not even sure of a good word to throw out.
Maybe we just guess chief and be done with it? Hopefully things will be clearer next turn.
Yea like chiefs championship if you wanna bold that or chiefs team something like that
That's not that much different to guessing penguin seagull lol.
Let's keep it to stuff that is a legitimate thing. Maybe police chief? But I don't think it matters much because I feel like we're not even in the ballpark.
I feel chiefs team isn't penguin seagull, but I'm fine w police chief or whatever cause I think we'll need more help regardless
police chief
0%
I like g5 over r4 but they can prolly figure out what both clues are from either clue
But g5 seems slightly better
I'm on team r4
A few diff definitions of r4 and they are at 0%
I think g5 gets them in domain and then r4 is easier to deduce from g5 than g5 is from r4
Im p much on g5
I think neither of them is American so they wouldn't get the KC clue
Yh i didnt
