SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

Voyager seems slam dunk for space shuttle type words

Oh and that is a v7

Now I’m liking astronaut, space shuttle, space ship, rocket, etc more than satellite

Voyager as clue would get Space Shuttle/Ship every time so it’s not that but it’s in that arena

I still like astronaut best

An astronaut is literally an orbiter; 99% of them go up to ISS and orbit the earth or orbit in a space shuttle

Only a handful ever went to the Moon instead, and I think those then orbited the Moon

They said o5 first and we wouldn't really think astronaut for just orbit would we?

Also wouldn't maybe there be some kind of w6 walker clue

I'm kinda back on the satellite and we may be overthinking

astronaut is someone who goes into orbit

Voyager gets me to astronaut
video gets me to satellite

orbiter and orbit is both

I think you clue orbit for satellite and orbiter for astronaut; they both agreed o7 was the superior form

they said o7 first

d1 said o7

zeus said o5 or o7 (the way you let someone know it's the same word with a suffix) and said he likes o7 best

we have to assume orbiter is >> orbit because that's what they chose to bold

a satellite is something that is in orbit of something else; that's it's definition...feels like they'd go orbit for satellite, not orbiter

still wish we had a v5 for astronaut or a v7 for satellite

I don't see much with the electron/atom route

It’s been long enough; need to start new game this evening

astronaut

HOW DOES HE DO IT

I mean orbiter was a banger clue

Nich is the Sides Whisperer.

My v7 that I was lukewarm on was Voyager. And then I thought of a much stronger v7 with "voyager".

yeah I was wondering which you were thinking of

I think Voyager gets the space meaning due to capitalized and then can still assume voyager is in play also, like with Codenames

going voyager denies capital Voyager so keeps us off space and onto explorer, sailor, etc.

either way, v7 confirmer was great, as that was the main reason go to astronaut over satellite, because otherwise v5 for video woulda tilted the odds in satellite's favor

we sure do love to hit 19 points exactly

The target word:
I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, zeus, bolt, pogcrazy

c3 is pretty pretty good

g2 is a good confirmer like p7

I don't mind c11 but really think c3 is best

maybe someone has a different banger

well, slight problem with c3 is they may think it's for the wrong thing

let's see what else we got

G5 is a horrible clue and a decent confirmer.

No clue what you guys are suggesting lol.

Me neither.

C10 seems pretty good. Gets right in the ballpark and doesn't really hit much. G4/7 as a confirmer.

I think I know what C10 and G4 are but no idea on the others

C10 seems like the best clue we've got

Not sure what c10 is; I have 2 c11s but no c10

If y’all got one tho then I’m good with it

G2 could be a nice confirmer if they think of the target

Let's go for it, with a reminder to the guessers to take the time to figure out what nich's G2 confirmer could be.
