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.

L8/L6 I thought of is same thing but 8 seems better
Other L6 is a completely different domain that's weaker but can just serve as confirmation
Haven't had an opinion in a while haha but think we should hold L8
L8 is good, L9 probably better.
L9 def better than l8
L8 and l9 both similar to l6
when you think of our target, you think of L8
but when you think of L9, you think of our target
I still haven't figured out a7
Ok then let's bold it
launchpad
Missile silo
So its in the missile silo or nasa/spacecraft range
idk what A7 could be if it's missile silo, but other people couldn't figure out A7 either, so it can't be that obvious
but idk what L8 could be either lol
when i see the word launchpad i think of space ships more than missile silos. but i still can't get any space ship words to fit
shuttle - no
satellite - no
Round 6:
Cards used: 6
Guessers: filthy/zeus
The Board:
DL | C | S | RG | JOVW | T | A
The target word:
I've pmed it to ibd/bolt/d1/ervin
They had DLA to work with
If it was missile could they do anything better? Theres countdown one in, detonate kinda sucks, abomb is good and would he mentioned
So its probably space stuff
A6 for apollo is critically missing though so it wont be like space shuttle or anything
if it was missile:
drone
cruise
trident
tomahawk
anti-aircraft
laser-guided
right?
yeah, plus all the ones you said too obv lol
rocket ship?
launchpad:
rocket ship
rocket
kennedy space center
whatever space center place
space race
satellite
orbiter
some kind of missile
