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.

Right! ZERO mention of IBD so can't just be drummer imo
I'm hung up on L4 being loop and this being something like rhythm or beat or vibe or something but still struggling to fit any other words
Ibd would be an illegal clue for drum anyway.
There is no way they'd be like "oh, cymbal gets this immediately" if the answer is rhythm or vibe or whatever. It's probably just drum imo.
Eh theyd have to at least joke about it
Maybe A6 is our ticket
They were on A6 to C6 in 2 and then thought maybe H6 in one and L4 if not
I think you're ervining this clue a little too hard. I can't really imagine guessing anything other than drum (mayyybe percussion, but seems way less likely imo).
Id feel better if I had any idea what A6 could be(besides some proper name that could be obscure)
Yea I'm coming around, they didn't actually have C on turn 1, I don't think it's gonna be Brass or something like that so Drum does seem possible with essentially turn 1 cymbal clue
Yeah, but half the team seemingly didn't know what it was either, so I'm not too concerned.
I suppose we guess drumbeat or something? Ideally I'd like to guess percussion drum, but I doubt that's an actual thing.
All drums are percussion so it's sorta taking a trip to the department of redundancy department
Aight I'm cool w whatever u wanna fire, beat or rhythm as bonus word seem good
Drumbeat is an actual thing, drum rhythm....not so much, so let's go with drumbeat
Lolus not thinking of instrument
Good job
Woot!
What were the other words?
Line for Drumline or Lars for Metallica’s drummer were my L4s
i18 was In-a-gadda-da-vida, a song famous for its drumming
No clue what a6 or d6 or the other words mentioned are
D6 was djembe
A6 was Animal
Ah yeah, I was thinking of djembe at first but wasn’t sure if they’d know it
When you posted d6 I wondered if that was it but then forgot
Animal is nice! Didn’t think about that super famous drummer
With capital a it’s gotta be crackers or drummer or puppet and c6 is cymbal or cookie but we woulda mentioned c8 for cheez-it if it was cracker
I am very glad none of those other clues were used lol.
LOL perfect clue and perfect amount of convincing from D1
Prob no other universe where I'd guess Drum(and definitely none of those other clues) :p
Round 16:
Cards used: 20
Guessers: ervin/ibd
The Board:
DL | B | UNKQ | P | C | A
The target word:
I've pmed to filthy/d1/bolt/zeus
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 6 CARDS IN THE GAME
I think d7 is a stone cold lock
d3 also pretty much a lock
a3 good if you want to keep DL card and open up the C card instead of the B card by using A card
