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.

P7 is good and they should be able to get d3 from it. In which case, we win.
V7 awesome confirmer
s4 though
Maybe we should avoid D6/V5/P7/D6/D6 incase they get the wrong one
s4 -> v5 gets it
and I think s4 slightly more likely than anything else to get it
Why can't I think what S4 is lol
Its insanely obvious the moment you realise it
S4 is a banger. And a very related D3 confirmer makes this a one shot.
Ohhhhh I know what S4 is now, yeah should be a one shot with all the info
May as well wait on Nich and D1iab
I mean isn't d3 just a 100% lock clue, nothing else needed?
D comes second
oh, missed that
then s4 is pretty similar so just go with that
let d1 weigh in first tho
Fine with s4
stag
I mean this has to be deer right?
d3 doe v7 venison
deer
kapow kapow kapow
I've been wanting to ask this for a little while, but don't want to risk affecting the current round in progress, so here goes.
What are the rules about getting a partial answer right?
In the last round, if Erv and Zeus had answered "reindeer" would that not have counted as a correct answer?
What if they had answered "deer hunter"?
A few turns back, the answer was "sports". What if the guessers went with "sport"?
we decided in this thread it's exact match (plural sport/sports would be fine)
deer hunter = good; because exact word was guessed (but you can't guess penguin seagull; if 2 word guess gotta make sense together)
deers = good because just plural
reindeer = bad
in the actual game, they say if same root it's fine, so they give example of prince/princess as acceptable for either target word....but in this thread prince would be wrong for princess and vice-versa
I think sport and sports is close enough as its the same word
Reindeer and deer i think is different?
Round 9:
Cards used: 8
Guessers: ibd/d1
The Board:
JOVW | T | M | A | B | D | P
The target word:
I've pmed the word to amazingervin, doctor zeus, bolt2112, pogcrazy94
p8 seems like a lock
w6 confirmer
If your P8 is the same as mine we can just bold it and move on. Especially with the w6 confirmer.
