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 don’t know what any of the s words are, but anything that gets to R8 is fine by me
sitcom
Television, show, pilot, network are things that come to mind
Trying to figure out what's this r8 could be
Yeah, could also be the name of a sitcom. There's about a billion of those tho, so could be anything.
They have said we'll never get this in 1, so it's probably not something we can work out anyway. Still would be nice to come up with something that fits.
What name of a sitcom could it be, friends?
I doubt we need to snap off Seinfeld or something
Well no, I don't expect the answer to be the name of the sitcom...just something related.
So like if it was Friends, then the answer would be something related to that. The way they've been talking, it must be a 2-step connection I would think.
And I'm not saying I think it's gonna be something like that necessarily...just thinking of possibilites.
Yea if we can think of an R8 or at least a domain to go to wouldn't be bad, Im thinking tiny bit more
Regional? Relation? Relative? Revolver?
Yeah, I mean it could be almost anything and not sure it's really gettable.
I think we just have to guess something like "television show" or "laugh" and then we can find out how far off we are.
But obviously you can keep mulling it over if you want.
Guess we should guess something
Wanna try television network?
Sure, that's as good a guess as any.
television network
it's not television network
so now we clue our R words?
which i don't know any of those words lol
i've got an R8 opposite that will get it
or my r8 opposite might be the same as our r8 normal lol
Well I'd say they're about 2% of the way there. I can't think of an r8 opposite. The r8 we've been sitting on should do it.
Yeah, R8 (not the opposite one, which I don’t know) gets my vote.
let's do r8. maybe it's the same one lol
r8 should work
h4 if somehow r8 doesn't get it; or h7 for zeus
Yh lets do it!
rickshaw
O boy idk what that is
I know Alan rickman the actor and uuuh
Hope u know some lol
It's a super old form of transport that I guess is sorta like a backwards wheelbarrow.
I have no idea how it relates to sitcom in the slightest though. There was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Newman started a rickshaw business, but surely that can't be it?
And supposedly sitcom+rickshaw is supposed to be a lock. I dunno, I'm very confused...
