SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

can't think of any M words atm

If Nich truly knows everything we should go for my M4 :p

We open up the C from that side, M4/C5 or C6 should definitely get it

Can't think of any E/F confirmers for the J side

I think C6 > C5 with J5 as a confirmer and we go on to the next round.

If m4 is what I think it is, it's highly unlikely they will get it imo (yes, even nich). Maybe it's something else tho.

I assume I'm thinking of the same c5 as everyone else, but I'm not even sure about that. There are 2 c5s I can think of, with one being much broader than the other. First one is surely a lock tho, assuming it's not a shadowfax.

Not sure what c6 is either for some reason.

i don't know the second C5

what about J5? since we can't clue C right away, it seems like the best chance to get it in one. but if you don't know C6, you might not know J5

I might know j5, not sure. I'm pretty fine with whatever and I'm probably not the right person to know what clues are good or not anyway.

For some reason I thought we could start with C.

Not sure if I love J5 as a starting clue, but if they miss, we can follow up with F14 and get it done.

J5 is good

Jolly

Rancher and Santa first things that came to mind

Capitalized

Jolly Roger the pirate flag and Jolly Rancher the candy are the first 2 capitalized Jolly things that come to mind before looking at confirmers

And then the song in Home Alone: Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

c5 could be candy, it could be Carol

I'm sure it's not Santa and they didn't clue Claus

Also Jolly Green Giant

I was thinking c6 is Crunch for Captain but it could be captain or could be mascot

Topics I’m interested in for confirmers:
Captain
Mascots
Pirate stuff
Veggies

Christmas likely woulda been Jingle but maybe

Claus and Carol aren’t shadowfaxes but could be broad c5

But generally I’d give odds of Christmas word at 10%

I think it’s for Jolly Roger or Jolly Green Giant

Yea I'm with you and agree it doesn't seem like Christmas

Doesn't seem like giant cause m4 could be mega and they'd know this

Need to figure out what this c5/c6 thing is

info from the team:

c5 and m4 first to mind, but m4 is shadowfax and left field
there's also m3

j5 maybe
c6 would get it
c5 good confirmer

j5 vote from bolt
c6 def gets it according to bolt

1 c5 is broad and the other is a lock if not a shadowfax

bolt doesn't love j5 as a starting clue, but f14 followup will get it

basically everyone knew what j5 was, so assuming all were thinking of Jolly, it's a pretty obvious connection

My big post didn’t get posted, but cliff notes

Jolly Green Giant

Not green: no emerald, jade
Not Giant: no ogre or other words I had
Not mascot
Not veggies

Not the right Jolly connection

If Christmas Jolly then why not Jingle instead? And why no Christmas clue/confirmer

So prolly just pirate or pirate ship or pirate flag

Not captain bc no Captain Morgan or Captain Cook

But no mutiny or crew either, which means prolly not pirate

So we are just cooked here

I think I’m just on Jolly Rancher as the clue

C5 is candy that’s broader than the other

C6 could be Charms who makes Blow Pops

Fruit-flavored is 14 letters

So lollipop is the word

Pitch Perfect has a song about sucking too hard on a lollipop that maybe is by Mika for m4? He did that “I could be brown I could be blue I could be violet sky” thing that gets stuck in your head that Ryan Reynolds and will ferrell covered on YouTube shorts etc maybe 2 years ago and the lollipop seems like his style

Otherwise just some candy brand from abroad that we wouldn’t know

I’m feeling good about lollipop

Sorry it took so long; I got sidetracked by pirate and mascots and Christmas for too long and forgot all about rancher when those didn’t pan out

Once I remembered rancher it clicked

Other c5 that would get it immediately is Chupa or Chups

I think those are the ones that would whistle from my childhood

Not sure how well known they are

It’s been 2 days and now I wanna know if this is right so gonna bold this evening if you don’t have any other ideas soon

Really think if this is wrong then we need another clue

lollipop seagull

Oh come the **** on
