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.

Nice job, guys 👍
A15 has to nail it
I had a13 as the same, but turns out they are both right
slight issue is it leaves us with only T on both sides next round, but that isn't a reason to not get this in one card
unless we can think of a T that is 100% like A is
I don't think any T can be 100% like the A so my vote is for one of the 2 long A words and move to the next round and hope T is ok for it
A15 is just so obvious
I can't think of a T thats not a big stretch- maybe T7 but its pretty specific and could take them a very different direction
T7 isn’t bad, but not a slam dunk like the As
yeah t7 is obvious but it doesn't get them right to the word all the time
we can't take 2 turns this time when we can 100% do it in 1 turn just because scared next round may take 2 turns if the T is bad for it
we'll give d1 and ervin a chance to chime in before bolding A(large#)
In likely thinking of the same thing, don't wanna count all the letters so you're good to fire :p
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
Yeah, I thought that codenames game would be fresh enough in your mind that bottle would enter your thought process.
A15 sounds good
It should have entered my mind
agriculturalist
If this is a 100% lock, then surely the answer is "farmer". The iffy T7 is probably tractor.
Filthy, if you agree, you can bold the answer.
farmer
can you clue "eieio"? is that a legal clue?
So it’s agriculturist or agriculturalist; so a13 or a15 but I did 15 since that’s what y’all wanted
Agriculturist is the wiki page but either is the same thing
Round 13:
Cards used: 16
Guessers: filthy/zeus
The Board:
T | C | EF | IH | C | A | T
The target word:
I've pmed to d1iabol1cal/ibedrummin/bolt/amazingervin
t4 is 100% if they know it, which good chance they do
also when we clue we need to specify left or right T card; so we should discuss if we want to uncover A or C
I think we uncover C, because if we uncover A and then use A, we have CC as our two sides again
unless we have a great A if our T clue fails...but I think c7 is decent; or c9 if we think they could be on right path and want to give a confirmer and nudge them there
T4 isn't coming to me, but there's a pretty obvious T5.
lolol it is t5; I didn't count
Yeah, T5 haha
