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.

What % correct are we? Assuming 0%, but could still be helpful info.
0%
And anybody can go ahead and bold the word. No need to wait for nich.
ski
wat
Mask I guess
F4 film
Goddammit
mask
Yeah
Problem with Halloween is so many ways to go with it so unless you thought of mask then it wasn’t gonna work
But didn’t see a one-shot
F4 was face, not film, at least for me
Yeah, face and head. Other h4s were hide and hood.
Was hoping Halloween might also lead you to the movie, which works for mask as well.
i4 was iron
h4 was hide and s6 was shroud for other meaning
and the big word stuff was surgical and anasthetic but also don't think any of those would have gotten it
btw, since we so often forget about opposite clues here
if it were moon, then s3 - opposite would have been the confirmer
time for pog to be added to the rotation!
Round 9:
Cards used: 8
Guessers: ibd/pogcrazy
The Board:
T | M | C | DL | P | EF | A
The target word:
I've pmed to d1/zeus/ervin/bolt
t6 is a one-hit assuming not a shadowfax (don't think it is)
No idea hmm
Got for t6
I dont even have seconds
I'm not sure what t6 is but I don't have a better idea.
a6 is a confirmer for the domain
m6 similar
Haven’t found anything to clue to the actual word other than t6 but will keep thinking
f3 decent maybe
m4 isn’t bad either
t4
t5
Most of the good words start with t; but still on t6 as best chance to get it
All I've got is a6/t5, which I'm quite sure would work, but it would definitely take 2 turns.
I don't know what t6 is, but if you're confident then go for it.
Ok I think I might know what t6 is now. That would've been a shadowfax for me assuming that's what it is.
Maybe it's something different, but if it isn't then that is VERY risky imo.
Yeah it was my first thing to mind but not sure how many will know it
If they don’t know it at all, then kinda wasted; but if they know it then we get it
I think the well known version is actually a t7
m4/m6+a6 is pretty killer combo if t7 fails since we can’t start there anyway
I honestly think it's very shadowfaxy and I wouldn't risk it myself, but maybe I'm just ignorant.
A6 + t5 is pretty safe, but it never hits in 1.
Is a6 the deducible one?
So maybe t5 first then?
Or is it a different a6 from the obvious?
