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
I mean if this is lightsaber I'm gonna be pissed.
Uhhhh…toothed and broadsword is supposed to be a slam dunk combo? And hacksaw is both not too close and 60-70% of the way there. I’m basically lost.
Yeah, going from not close to 70% was quite the twist!
Only thing I can think is that nich was just cluing for half the word initially (saber) and because of how this game works, then we guess lightsaber for coverage. But I'm not really a fan of that cluing method unless it only hits one thing, especially since toothed doesn't hit lightsaber at all.
Or maybe I'm way off base and this is something completely different. Lightsabers aren't even a real thing, so it also seems like weird word to have on the list. I also can't figure out what any of these other clues are, so yeah, it's probably something else.
It's also possible the word is just saber, though that would actually make this round even weirder.
Anything to add, ibd?
Sorry, busy work week. I can’t imagine toothed being a clue for lightsaber, especially not one that multiple people thought of for T7.
I guess saber could work, but seems like B7 (bayonet) would’ve been an option.
Would we ever imagine a world where this is as generic as just blade? They can’t tell us how close we are in discussion, just how close we are with what we bold.
Eh, nm. Nich’s gotta be talking about blade here:
Can someone figure out b10 please? It’s in same domain as b5 but it’s more specific and should get them to the word
So either DZ has completely missed the B10 Nich was referring to, or toothed broadsword really is the ticket.
Yeah, maybe it’s saber/sabre. It fits toothed and broadsword better than anything else I could come up with. That was a lot of words to land where you did, but I think that’s our bold.
No mention of horse of bronco makes me think this probably isn't buck. Am thinking along the lines of comb (fine-toothed comb) and b5 could be brush. But there's also no mention of hair, so it's probably not that either.Toothed hits tons of stuff, but I doubt this clue gets used to hit some random animal. I mean there's the sabre-toothed tiger obv, but nah.So I'm basically p
Could be a pretty elite post
Yeah, I don't really like it, but I've got nothing better.
So I guess we just bold lightsaber and see what happens?
Lightsaber
Cowabunga
It was saber
Which is pretty nuts
I think bayonet isnt aftually a saber?
Blade was indedd b5!
Nice. What the hell were all the other words?
Great get, D1iab
Way to go!! Woulda taken me like 50 tries to guess a "saber"
T5 was tiger
Then I thought of t5/t7 option for tooth/toothed
Y’all never tried to figure out t5 even tho you said it
My original t10/b10 was torchlight/broadsword to get light saber or just saber since light was clued
B5 blade of course
Then on last turn all the M words were Jedi words:
M4 (Darth) Maul
M4 Mace (Windu)
M11 Mandalorian
B4 Boba (Fett)
Saber not an easy word…great job
I think if Toothed was capitalised then we get it in 1.
It’s not a capitalized word tho
I guess just because it makes you think it’s a thing with toothed in the name rather than sharp or saw or etc?
That is correct...just like recluse from a few rounds ago. You can rule out all the other stuff that the word hits when you know it's part of a name.
Alright
I’m on board
When I got the DM from Nich I misread it as "sober". My t10 was "teetotaler". Glad I didn't bold it!
My t5 that goes well w a t5 was
Saber tooth tiger
RIP yellow ranger, pink still crushing today
Round 5:
Cards used: 6

The target word:
Someone pick a number 1-440 and go to spreadsheet and find that word and pm it to ibedrummin, amazingervin, doctor zeus and bolt2112. Make sure it's not a word we used before by searching column H or this thread for the word
bump
someone rand a word and send to all but me/d1
