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.

P5 or P6 should do it if there’s a UNKQ that sets them up.
Oh, Q6 is a nice set up for P5
P5 is the best clue but gotta get there first
Q5 gets the domain and then p5 brings it home but not a one shot unless they deduce the p5
I've got another l8 that could potentially be a 1 shot. Could go two ways I suppose but a6 would keep them in the right domain.
Do you know both l8s?
Unless the l8 is a real banger I'd rather work our way to p5.
And by “I think so,” I’m like 95%. I guess there could be something else you’re thinking of, but I doubt it.
If you think you do, then you do. I'm not sure which one is better, though I do have a bad feeling that one of them will shadowfax it. The other is much safer.
I’m good with either of the L8s. I’d like for Nich or bolt to know what we’re talking about and sign off, because it seems they’re both eyeing the right side card to open up P5.
I can't sign off on L8, but bold it if you're confident that Zeus and Ervin can get the answer.
I dunno the L
If y’all are confident then go for it
But don’t miss, as p6 (or different p5 really) gets it with a few different domain words first so you don’t get to p from that side of the board
So go for it, just don’t miss
"So go for it, just don't miss" lol
Just do your own thing.
The don’t miss is a joke lol
I went for it with shadowfax and missed and we survived
It’s just a game
lorikeet
rip me
Zeus?
Lol is this a parakeet?
Why is it always me on the shadowfax turns :p
I think we just assume its a parakeet lol.
what else can we do
Q6 or q5?
Quail? Quack?
Do we go bird or parrakeet? I think so
Parrot would be an illegal P6 tho
Maybe Polly wants a cracker?
