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
And perhaps pm it to me as well please, despite nich's recurring efforts to boot me out of the game :p
lol
or you can pick the word and pm the people in my post :p
Ok sending
R7 seems decent
Could go another way trying with stuff like P6 or G6 but seems unnecessary
r7
b5
i6
Two R7s that are good. One could lead astray more than the other. H8 cleans up any miss on that card imo.
Having two IH cards next to each other for too long is probably not great, so going with the right side seems prudent.
Yea R7 seems like the way to go and H8 if it fails but could just instahit
Yeah, r7 is a winner.
To be fair they figured out it was dojo but not quite dojo and that it was JapaneseWith some thought they coulda eliminated martial arts and sensei etc since not dojo and gotten to sumo some % of the time as Japanese fighting that isn’t martial artsWhile dojo as a clue doesn’t mean Japan so could put them down wrong path of martial arts Of course tubby dojo is also
"Sounds like dojo" isnt quite "knew is was dojo" lol
I think it sounds funny if you rhyme it w Ohio, like doh-hio
We shouldda guessed overweight ohian
Is the d5 similar to a d4 that everybody knows? If so, agree that seems really risky.
I think you're only saying that because you know what it is.
I think I'd rather go with the d4 to get in the realm. They can probably work out the d5 if they know it, and T5 after that should get them there if they don't.
Nah, I guarantee I see the d5 and I equate it to the d4 but slightly different
May not get to the right word then but it gets me in the realm and with deduction on why not d4 we may get there or close
But whatever; if y’all wanna go d4 then that’s fine
Well they will probably know now just from how we're talking about it lol. But words that are similar are not necessarily even related a lot of the time.
This string of posts does pretty much give away that the other word is dojo.
Nah we'd have spent hours and days talking about it before arriving in a broad region and then guessed kung fu anyway
Few bumps in there too
Not sure what you're trying to say, but I don't think anyone expected you to get sumo from that clue.
Oh, i was just making a joke with an addition that im glad we clued fast because we had no real full idea and couldda delayed the game a bunch
yeah I wasn't saying you shoulda gotten it; I liked that you went fast so we could move on because this was not gonna be a one word get unless you happened to be sumo fans
I was just saying that I think dohyo was a good clue, regardless of results, because
1. you could know the sumo term (maybe 10% do? maybe less in the US/UK) which was only chance at 1-shot
2. you would likely know it was related to dojo and japanese (high %), which would help with clue(s) 2 (3/4) more than dojo or other options
3. outside chance you think japanese dojo that's not martial arts = sumo (low %)
I was happy when ya'll just fired japan after recognizing it sounded like dojo because that was the best case scenario (besides the 10% you know sumo terms) and you didn't take 2 days to get there
mostly just wondering what this r7 is
the r7 is very likely to lead down the wrong path, but when combined with a second word the answer should become clear
or if they can figure out some of our alternate words, then r7 will get it in one
