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.

Eeeh just for the confidence lulz
magic
0%
Well at least we get another clue!
A7 or m6 depending on what card we wanna use
I got an M3
I'll give just about anything for the next clue to be "act"
I think my m3 will be a lock
A7 or M3 are fine, but I think A7 is more direct and we could use a little bit of that at this point. I don’t know what M6 is, but I’m sure that’s fine too.
I don’t know if this is right or wrong, but my bias leans to an M word so we can try to have the 4-letter card available as close to the final round as possible.
Hmm yh n they should be able to use M3 as a good verifier to confirm theyre onbthe right track
I'm good with whatever.
A7 should be bolded (I don't know it)
academy
I guess it's probably school.
I11 is institution. H7 would have been Harvard. Not sure of what M3 is.
H4 is high, which wasn't going to be a good clue by itself but would have been a clarifier.
Could be MIT perhaps
But yea does seem like a lot of school stuff
Shall we bold it?
I suppose so unless you have any other thoughts or words you want to throw in with school
school
Hogwarts is either a school of magic or it's a school for wizards and witches. It's foolish of us to guess anything else.
no reason not to say magic school instead of magic
oh well, we move on
h4 was high so once you had school as an option that was supposed to be confirmer
m6 middle
m3 med for med school I assume
MIT/Harvard/etc get universities/colleges; needed a school, thus Hogwarts
Round 15:
Cards used: 21
Guessers: bolt/zeus
The Board:
UNKQ | C | S | M
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ibd/d1/ervin
NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 4 CARDS IN THE GAME
please check pms for 2nd pm; first one was water, which we had before; the script didn't work properly to remove that as an option, apparently
I've sent a new word
n6, n11
Other h8 was homework btw.
I don't think they should be able to guess magic school because that is not really a thing.
Also, this post was quite bad.
