SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

they had DLP as letter options; and could have hinted at BUNKQ words as well

they thought pelt was slam dunk

d3/L5 get directionally there, but need B5 to finish

L7 could be ok

so let's figure out at least 1-2 of those words to narrow us down between hide/fur/skin/throw/roadkill/hunt/trophy

besides being another 90s female band singing about death, L7 is likely Leather

so it's the hide/skin/fur/fleece/etc version of pelt, not the throwing version

Wouldn't there be other clues for other meanings of the word hide? The verb - like hide and seek. Maybe fur is better. But leather isn't even an ok clue if it's fur.

if it was skin or hide then leather seems better than ok

that's why fur/fleece are interesting to me

I think with 4 options, we need to figure out D3/L5/B5 to figure out which

could also be coat

d3 dog also points to fur, but it's probably not dog

no mention of bunker for hide but that doesn't mean much

maybe b5 is break, like you break a hide to soften it

not sure what d3/L5 would need 'break' to finish getting hide tho

if it's skin:

L5: loose
d3: dry

but why not d5 for dermis?

We don't have a compelling reason to go against our first instinct. Let's just bold "hide."

I kinda like skin because loose/dry/leather all hit it while we can’t think of a d3 or L5 for hide

I have no reason to feel strongly about either skin or hide above the other.

ok let's go hide

I got dry/loose connections for skin, but they didn't go dermis, which is the obvious (or peel) and pelt is closer to hide than skin

Not hide.

I think we gotta go with the d3 now.

Yes, no debating or delaying it

dog

So it was fur then

fur

Indeed it was

What was l5 and b5?

L4 for Lion or B4 for bear woulda had me on fur but I couldn’t think of L5 or B5

Or B3 for Boa

Haha, L5 was llama (terrible), B5 was brush. That’s why I said I’d just shut up. I was going to keep throwing out stuff that would confuse things.

Lion and bear fit skin better for me

Good clues

Coulda been any of hide skin fur on turn one and we just missed the d3 roll

Round 19:

Cards used: 24

I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, doctor zeus, amazingervin, ibedrummin

NOTE: THESE ARE THE LAST 2 CARDS IN THE GAME

b7 could be a slam dunk 1-shotter

Yeah, this is the only way to go imo

That works even though there are some other fun B ones 🙂
