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
B6/B8/M4 all related
T6 an option like b8
T7 seems best imo, with b3/b8 as good confirmers.
hmmm i haven't thought of any of these immediately
d7 was first thing I thought but it only works if the word is known, would be hard to get target from the other way
Do y'all know t7? Ibd doesn't seem quite as confident as I am, but it seems pretty lockish to me.
T7 could be good
It could go another way, of course, but if they think through confirmers it has a decent shot
May be best of the options
Unsure what T7 is but can go ahead and bold it, we've given plenty of info
there is also a t7 that is the same as b8
but d1's t7 is prolly best
trapeze
Artist, Circus, Swing are the words that come to mind.
Don't think it's circus since no B3/T3 for big top.
I feel like artist is a stronger fit than swing, but none of the confirmers have come to me yet. Then again, when I'm the one giving the clue I can't figure out other people's confirmers half the time anyhow, even when I already know the answer.
Acrobat is another one to consider.
Options were T and D with B and M confirmers
Swing I'd say no- would expect them to mention b4 (band) as a confirmer
Artist I dont really like - wouldn't you just do Dali?
I don't think you'd do Big Top as they are two words so not legal
I like acrobat or circus tbh we just need the confirmers
I don't mean that big top would be the clue. But two clues. Like a few rounds ago when we told them e4/g4 was the answer for earl grey and nich figured it out.
Also there's one B6, and not two. Barnum and Bailey would be a gimme.
I feel like trapeze hits artist harder than it hits acrobat. I'm not on board with circus for reasons I already gave.
If it's acrobat then B6 could be ballet. Here's the confirmers in one list.
T4 (x2) D6 M4 T9 B8 M6 B4 T6 B3 D7
But, ugh. No Michelangelo or Monet as a confirmer either. So I'm no longer on Team Artist.
B3 bat
B8 baseball
T6 tennis
It's swing
T4 turn
I'm going to the dentist for a regular cleaning in about an hour. I'll bold swing when I get back unless Zeus checks in before then with a strong objection.
swing
yep, good job
goal was to get swing in your list of 3-5 options for trapeze and then you to use confirmers to get to it, which you did
t4s were tire swing and tree swing
t7 like b8 was teeball like baseball
m4 is miss (swing and a miss)
you got bat and tennis
Yup good job!
My T9 was turnstile, D6 dangle
My d7 was for swing dancing, nice job getting there!
