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 diff
First thought is lightbulb, with g2 being GE. Need to list out c3 options.
I haven't been able to figure out any of the other confirmers

Your light bulb idea made perfect sense for the clue and it works for some stuff
I can't figure out c3 and car ain't it but idk I like your light bulb idea the more I think about it
Bump
Anything else coming to you, Erv? If not, I’m fine with you bolding lightbulb so we can move onto the next clue. I’m missing something here with c3 that I’m just running in circles on.
light bulb
CFL
But could make you think of Canadian Football League
I thought of candlepower and candlelight but not candescent
Good clue and GE was indeed g2
Nice get guys
Round 2:
Cards used: 1
Guessers: ibd/d1
The Board:
P | B | S | EF | D | P | RG
The target word:
I've pmed the word to ervin, zeus, bolt, pogcrazy
Hey nice! And I don’t think I’ve ever thought of the Canadian football league, so why start now?
R4
P6
R6 is probably best but might take a wrong turn
I've got a P5 and a P8 that aren't Shadowfaxes but I don't know how well known they are, although they hit the target pretty hard.
If we go the RG route then we're stuck with two P clues on either side so let's try to avoid that.
I've got a p11
perhaps p11+b8 combo works
b6 is good
seems like p11 could get it; if not, then b6 after that should (or the b8 combo, depending on where their head is)
other option is r5, which gets it if they think of it right, but could also go very wrong
P6 then B5 for confirmer only thing I can think of currently
I think P8 gets us there in 1
I’m fine with p8
Let’s see what Ervin comes up with
I'm good with waiting for Ervin. Nich, do you know what my P8 is? Or my P5, which is very much related?
Hmmm I haven't been able to think of anything so far, not even sure what these are yet
No I only know my p9 and p11, which I like; both are pretty direct
Passover
Ok, gonna need some help here. Like I know what that is...kinda. All I really know about it is that it's a Jewish meal and associated with Easter? I might even have that wrong lol.
Passover commemorates the moment preceding the Hebrew peoples’ exodus from Egypt led by Moses. In the final plague, all firstborn sons inside of a residence died unless the door frame to the residence was painted with lamb’s blood and as a result being “passed over” because the lamb’s sacrifice took the place of the son.
The Passover meal is called Seder, which consists of things like lamb, unleavened bread, bitter herbs, etc.
In the Christian tradition, the Last Supper of Christ with his disciples was a Passover Seder. Thus, the timing of Easter (celebrating Christ’s resurrection) is linked to Passover. It’s also symbolic of Christ’s (the Lamb of God) sacrifice at Calvary.
With all that said, I have no idea what the confirmers are and less of an idea what our target word could be.
