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.

Well done all!
Good job
All week onsite work meeting this week with no laptops or phones during meeting so will only be around late night.
Think I can start next round from phone in a few mins, but generally will be less available this week.
Round 16:
Cards used: 20
Guessers: ibd/pog
The Board:
RG | M | JOVW | P | DL
The target word:
I've sent it to bolt2112, d1iabol1cal, doctor zeus, amazingervin
NOTE: These are the last 5 cards in the game
R12 for the win.
Yeah that seems straightforward
D7 and L5 are nice confirmers.
Yeah i was thinking of those as well
R12
We can wait for D1 and AE. No big hurry since IBD is going to be recovering for a while if his drunk sheep thread is any indication.
yea I immediately even thought of what R12 was so good with that
receptionist
So we have:
receptionist
D7 + L5 as confirmers
First words that come to mind when I think of receptionist:
Office
Hotel
Desk
Phone
Secretary
Errrrr i'll come back later, it must be something more obvious if R12 receptionist was everyone's first thought
Secretary was my first thought. I could see office with d7 dentist confirmer, but no d6/d8 doctor/’s, so probably not. L5 isn’t coming to me at the moment.
No D6 (dwight) for Office either
L5 could be lobby so something to do with a receptionist's workplace
RG / DL / M / P
no D6/D7 doctor(s)/dwight for office
no R4/R5 room(s) for hotel
no M6 mobile for phone
I'm sure there are types of desks that start with these letters (G6 gaming maybe?)
No D4 desk for secretary although a bit weak
I could rally around desk. Would like to think of a fitting d7 tho.
Doorman?
Would fit hotel pretty well with receptionist and lobby.
No M8 Marriott or D10 DoubleTree, so can’t be. Hmm
Can't think of a D7 for desk, no L4 mentioned for desk lamp either
Can you think of anything else related to receptionist?
Yeah surely M8 Marriott would've been mentioned if it was hotel
Do we have to wait until you're drunk again for the sheep reveal btw? :p
Haha no, I just need to figure out how to do the reveal on my phone. It’ll happen in the next few days
What do you like most between desk/secretary?
Oh how about defense as D7 for secretary?
Good one! That’s enough for secretary > desk for sure
Secretary
