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.

This seems gettable but nothing immediately coming to me, haven't figured out the R10 yet
As far as confirms and perhaps even clues s7 seems like a huge one
I must be on a completely different page to you guys because I've thought of about a dozen clues that nobody has mentioned, and I basically have no idea what any of these clues even are.
A9 hits like 1 word tho.
Yes, a9 is a banger and it has my vote.
I haven't thought of it but if it's a great clue fire away
I'm good with a 9. If it misses then R10 should do it.
appellate
racquetball is r11; not sure of r10
G6 guilty
S5 state
S7 supreme
No probate p7
Not yet sure of r5/p6 or r10…gonna assume r10 is spelling it racketball for some reason
R5 could be royal again; Zeus would have that on his mind
Then his p6 to go with it would be prince maybe…or p6 could be public
Only thing I can think of is court
S5 state
S7 supreme
P6 public
R5 royal?
No idea what A7/A8/R13/G6/R10 is though
No r4 room, p7/p9 probate/probation, g5 gavel or s6 squash though
R10 could be racketball wrong spelling yeah, bolt said he might be thinking of a different angle (sports courts)
court
Ding ding ding
Nice job, and great clue D1iab.
R5 was indeed top of mind because of last game. My P8 was People’s.
Was R10 the misspell of racquetball?
Squash i had
R10 was racket all and I expected POG to defend me on the English spelling (not that it was intentional.)
Round 7:
Cards used: 6
Guessers: pogcrazy/ervin
The Board:
S | JOVW | T | B | D | P | RG
The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, ibedrummin, doctor zeus, bolt2112
I didn't get your PM
you have now; I post that and then send the pm right after
r4 with p5 or p6 confirmer seems pretty good, though r4 can lead to a variety of things
P7 is another confirmer
yeah, the p words are locks, but we gotta go RG first
g4 is another option
I think if we go r4 then they can deduce the p words to figure out the right word, but maybe someone has a banger
Yh feels like a lock
R6 is a very shadowfax-y confirmer that I wouldn't spend much time trying to figure out. But if the guessers have a couple of options for their guess, it might help.
