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.

oh i finally figured out an M7! lol
I don’t think mammal is quite 0%, probably something like 10-15%. It’s not close, but it’s not completely nonsensical.
I still don’t know these M7s. I just know my two M8s and one M6. But I’m not going with them if no one else has any idea what I’m talking about.
I don't really need to know what the words are as long as they will work.
But with T next after M, I think T7 could work reasonably well given the first clue and whatever is coming next.
And I guess there’s always the opportunity to go with the A7 clue Ervin was all about.
M7 gets there 100%. I wonder if filthy is thinking about the same one, because I can think of another one that isn't as good.
Oh, I think I finally just woke up. That’s a really, really good M7.
👍
ummm.... i say we go with the 100% m7(whatever that is) lol
my m7 is probably like 75%, so maybe we're thinking of different words
I have a terrible t3 that could come next but could divert them back if we end up in a bamboo situation
Which m3 kinda does too?
I think our first m + m3 couuuuld do it?
If you have a super M7 I say do it
I have the other M4 that prob won't snap get it. The A7/M8 domain still exists but also unlikely to immediately get it
M3 is pretty good actually. I still think m7 is our best shot but I don't really care that much.
Wait ive got a c8 or c11 that will 100% get them there (i hope)
Do the M7(I don't know it lol but sounds like the nuts)
Which is stupid because were on m
Oops sorry was on tube and got inspired
Go for the m7
I would do it but I can't. Ibd knows it tho.
Oh ya rules lol
Do it IBD!!
Spoiler
*crosses fingers* hope it's the same one!
message
Nich, go ahead and bold "bottle" unless you have a better idea.
oh **** me
when I thought of milkman deliveries I didn't even think about bottle (or carton)
and we JUST had that codenames round where we discussed that milk doesn't come in jars, but in bottles
glass bottle
👍
good job!
Milk doesn't really come in bottles anymore. I get my milk in cartons. Or jugs.
