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.

My kingdom for a good three-letter O word!
Oil would make the most sense with a protest but I can't think of anything
We should bold something whatcha think?
I agree that we should bold something, haha
You want to include the word resistance or you wanna try something more traffic road related?
Can do something like resistance block too
Yeah, I like resistance and I also like a two word option, but I can’t think of a lot that goes with resistance without it seeming angly like we’re just adding a 2nd word for fun.
Like, if we thought it was maybe a two-word target with resistance and x as the two words because it’s a commonly phrase of combo, then fine. But as it stands, I feel like it’d be if D1iab and I had bolded “penguin seagull” a couple games ago.
Resistance band?
Resistance force?
Something like that maybe
Looking forward to this O3.
resistance force
No clue what o3 is but resistance is the word
Great get
No way!!!
IBD!!
Spoiler
I can't believe we binked it!!!
Nice one!
Not knowing what impedance was, but still working out it was related to electricity was particularly impressive.
way to go! woot woot!
O3 is Ohm!!! The unit of resistance

Guessers: ibd/nich
The Board:
JOVW | M | M | T | EF | T | A
The target word:
someone choose a random number between 1 a 440 and get that word from the spreadsheet and send to d1iabol1cal/bolt2112/doctor zeus/amazingervin/filthyvermin
The unit of resistance of course! An absolute mortal lock for knowledge buffs like us!
You included it in your 3 letter O list so i had hope
While we're out here learning stuff did you know that only plants have cell walls?
That is some useful knowledge that can come in handy!
Haha…good memory
I think that was over a year ago now
Believe it or not I think it's almost 3 years or so already
Felt like yesterday I just stumbled into PoG and some games have been going a while! I remember when Long List was having a healthy stretch and Picture is gonna hit year 3 in a few months
I just tried running the script to rand but it said I need permission
Don’t use the button
Just pick a number 1-440 and scroll down to that number and see what word it is and dm it to everyone

J3 seems a lock lol
j3 yeah. maybe even give it to them without discussing any other possibilities just to see if they could do it with no more clues
jet
YOLO
