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
platter has 5/5 plate letters in it and starts with the first 4 and they might consider them the same word/origin
the word could also just be plate itself...h3 could be hot...
they're saying s5 p6 though so it may be none of this stuff
serve p6
I don’t have any confidence in my thought process anymore now that hamburgers aren’t handheld. :p
I don’t know. I keep going to food-related stuff because it doesn’t seem right for tennis-related (we’ve had tennis, but not some other stuff that could be related).
h3 hot
Makes me think of meal, if plate’s out of consideration.
s6 supper works for meal, but s6/7 doesn’t make sense for that.
And no s4 soup (though Kenny Bania insists soup is not a meal)
In short, I have nfi.
Bump
Yeah, still no inspiration. Fine with basically anything.
x-post!
so could be food, could be something like breakfast/lunch/dinner
could be tennis but I'm kinda off that
could be something law related, like being served but i'm not seeing s8 for subpoena or that kind of stuff
could be for military service, and we do have some s7
idk if this gives you any ideas, i'll think on p6 a little more and then we'll need to bold something
I’ve got nothing else, sorry.
all good i'll just keep it moving
plate
0%
I think my p6 gets it but I’ll give others a chance to weigh in instead of firing
I'm sure we're all thinking of the same p6. Just fire it.
paddle
i forgot but did words get recycled/can they be used again now if we had them before or no?
No recycling.
Seems like ping pong. I don’t know if squash uses a paddle, but it won’t be that because Nich mentioned a s6/7. I doubt pickleball is on the list.
Would be pretty bad luck if the list calls it table tennis.
Ok, made me think of a tennis racket for a sec
I like your ping pong idea and don't have much else to do if you wanna try it
Hmm, good call. It could still be racket, but maybe then the first clue would’ve been server instead of serve.
I’ll take a look at the confirmers again in a little bit through the lens of ping pong and racket.
S7 is another good confirmer. I'm having trouble coming up with an actual clue. S6 scares me.
s5 p6 is a strong combo
the other s5 from another angle that's too generic
a different p6
there is an h6 that could be a shadowfax and is very generic and misleading on its own; they should disregard unless they know it and it's a confirmer for them
Fits ping pong and racket:
s5 serve
s5 sport?
s6 server? squash?
h3 hit
p6 paddle
Unknown:
h4 ???
h6 ???
Fits racket:
s6/7 scheme/schemes
s5 scams
Nich’s “from another angle” comment has me leaning toward racket. I can’t think of another angle for ping pong.
h4 head?
s5 shaft?
well i think we've had racket before - not 100% sure of course but that was why i asked that question
so liking your idea...but yea not sure on confirmers
We haven’t had racket before. We’ve had tennis and badminton. When tennis was bolded, it was bolded as tennis racket, but the target was just tennis.
Wow look at you with the memory, I definitely didn't recall that lol
Hmm if racket is an option it perhaps could be it...I could see an s5 being smash
Yeah, smash is good too.
I say we go for racket. If you agree, bold away.
let's try it
racket
