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.

Good with W10
Yeah w10 is a winner
I'm fine with W10, but it's not going to get it done.
Ervin hasn't chimed in yet.
Ty for waiting
Washington
This is our key here
Washington/Jefferson/Lincoln all presidents and all on Mount Rushmore
But he said m6 not m5 for mount; of course you can’t clue mount or mountain if it is Mount Rushmore…but I don’t see an m6 for Rushmore nor did they hint at Dakota
M6 could be Monroe but not Madison…not sure why he would be a lock so prolly not him
They didn’t say J7 for Jackson so not capitals or cities most likely
It could just be president and Monroe clinches it because clueing two presidents back to back will get us to guess president
But so does Fillmore on the other side
President is a decent backup guess but I wanna noodle on the m6 before guessing it in case we can figure it out
Well Bill Murray is an m6 and he was in Rushmore the movie
But no d6 for Dakota
But it would make it a lock assuming he remembers I’m a Wes Anderson fan from the grab bag draft we did 2 months ago (ugh I still have 2 movies to watch so I can judge my category; adding to the to do list)
I’m starting to think it’s Mount Rushmore
Is that even on the list though?
Everything else has been very different
I get your logic ot jusr feels more like president
Its definitely one or thr other
Is rushmore Roosevelt, lincoln, washington, jefferson?
Yh Rushmore is a better bet given they thought we wouldnt get it in one
If it was President could have mentioned Donald or Dobama
yeah, I kinda doubt it's a word on the list; the m6 being Murray is a dangerous assumption
I think we just go US President and then get more info
Ok yh
president
My m6 is 98% but now I have an opposite m6 that is a lock.
Oh, and it's not president.
How close were we
I'd put you at 85%. It won't matter once the team gives me thumbs up on the opposite m6.
I have no idea what the m6 is, but if you're that confident then go for it.
