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.

p8
f6(might be illegal clue).. idk if we should use this info
k7
r6
Sorry, will get on this today
I hope so, cuz I'm totally lost :(
Freedom + P8 is a lock
My first thought was something like religion/speech/press.
But no P10 for Protestant, so not religion
No P9 for pathology, so not speech
No P5 for paper, so not press
Why tf can’t I think of any 8-letter words that start with P?
Could be revolution or something, but I’d expect F5 for fight. And no idea on P8. Peasants or something, but that combo isn’t a lock.
Gonna have to think about this more in a little bit, but we might want to just guess something sooner rather than later like independence/constitution/William Wallace/some other **** that at least hits freedom without us have any idea what P8 might be.
yeah I was thinking like..
liberty
justice
some kind of American thing.. revolution, constitution etc
but I can't think of any p8 words to go with any of those
politics is 8 letters
maybe guess revolution?
or try to guess two words... like socialist revolution or something
democratic revolution?
democratic revolution
0%
Someone fire p8
I'm sure p8 gets there too, but I like a p7 better as a more direct hit. Thoughts?
I don’t know what p7 is
P6/p8 is what I know and p8 is the better version
P7 is something different?
Yeah, it's different but better imo. Like, it would probably get it in 1 even without any other clues.
I’m not sure what could be a more direct hit than freedom p8 but I trust you, so if you have a p7 lock then you can go for it
poutine
I was also thinking P8...u know what that one is right D1?
Cause I don't know the P7 either
😃 Well good x-post
Hopefully it’s not d1’s shadowfax
Are you shitting me? It’s fries???? I’m pissed that I didn’t mention freedom fries when I thought about it last night.
I guess the off limits F6 was French, so just go ahead and fire off French fries whenever you’re ready, filthy.
French fries
viva revolucion!
It is french fries, well done.
I have no idea what the off limits f6 was.
yeah, was hoping you'd think about p6/p8 as p8 being the plural version of p6 and get to potato, but knew it was a long shot, yet lock for in 2 clues
french is 100% illegal as french fries was the word(s)
but I think his was frites, which is another language for fries/fried and the rules early in thread said foreign language versions are illegal (said can't clue agua for water)
but maybe he had a different f6, so we'll see what he says
