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.

Fire it off no idea what it is
Gonna give time for bolt and filthy to weigh in
The only word I'm able to figure out is c6. A6, L4, and H6 all elude me.
H6 is good. And we can go D6 after if it doesn’t hit.
If H6 is the same as C6 then I know what it is, but it seems risky to me. Seems like another "Trevi" in the making.
I don't think h6 is anything like Trevi
everyone has heard of h6 and c6
I wouldn’t say everyone has heard of H6, but I’m confident one or both of the D1iab/Erv dream team know what it is. D6 is closer to Trevi if H6 is a whiff. But I think the combo is good.
hi-hat
Lmao
This is like drums/cymbals the tss-tss-tssss thing
So im thinking stuff like percussion, jazz band, groove, rhythm etc
If this is supposed to get it in 1, then surely it has to just be drum? Only problem is that I have no idea what any of those other words could be, except for cymbal.
I also would've expected instrument to be mentioned. If not drum, then maybe percussion?
C6 they mentioned could just be cymbal
Instrumentalist I count 15 letters so trying to figure out what I18 could be
Well yeah, c6 is clearly cymbal.
18 is a lot of letters, so I feel like it's probably something hyphenated. No idea what it could be tho.
Some of these could be brand names or types of drums that I'm not familiar with, in which case I won't be able to work them out anyway.
I18
A6
C6 = cymbal
L4 = loop?
D6
Could also be famous drummers too.
0 shot we need to snap off Sabian cymbals or something. Also getting to the end of my knowledge here so won't know proper nouns, but instruments and stuff I'd know.
This I18 is bothering me, it can be a lot of stuff but how much stuff can it really be
L4 could be Lars for Lars Ulrich? That's one of the few drummers I do know.
Wouldn't they just mention instrument/those derivatives for I as well tho
I won't know any drummers. Ringo I suppose. And Roger Taylor. But that's all
Dave Grohl
Tommy Lee
Buddy Rich
Probably a couple more if I heard their names.
Oh, and Ibedrummin, of course.
