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 different.
Sign up with /in below if you want to play.
In this game, a target word will be randed as will a row of 7 cards that have letters on them (most 1 letter, some 2/3/4 letters).
2 people will be the guessers and everyone else will be able to give a clue.
The clue given must start with the letter on either the first or last card (the 'sides' of the row).
We discuss as a team who will give the clue with open discussion in the thread such as "I have a 7 letter word starting with a C"
Once there is some agreement on who gives the clue, that person will bold the clue they want to give in the thread.
The two guessers will then discuss in the thread and bold their guess. If it's correct, we move on to the next guessers and the next word. If wrong, then the clue givers post some info like "you are warm" or "you are about 30% there" etc to give directional info on how on track/off track their guess is.
Then they discuss and give another clue. But the person who bolded a clue cannot give another clue for the same word until everyone on the cluing side has clued a word (if we take that long to get the word), so one person can't hog the cluing.
Clues have to be one word, or an acronym, etc like in codenames; they can be hyphenated words
We can also give some info on how the clues relate to each other, or even say a clue is a 0 clue, so the opposite of what cluing for (e.g., clue 'colorful' as an opposite clue because the word is zebra)
I'll provide more details and examples in the thread in the morning, but this should be enough info for you to /in and join so we can play.

Sovereign
Uhhhh...I think I'll wait for ervin to make his move.
Uuuuh...I'll wait for d1 lol I'm not so sure
It's capitalised, so presumably it's _____ Sovereign _____, but all I can think of for that is sovereign state/citizen, and neither of those make any sense.
So yeah, I've got nfi.
Oh boy, sovereign state was the only thing I thought of
Citizen could also work but I'm like you and can't fit other stuff
Weird that this was supposed to be a lock or at least keep us on the right track, because I feel like neither of those things would be even close.
Wanna just go with citizen to keep it moving? I feel pretty stupid but I can't even come up with any reasonable guesses for any of the other clues.
Wealthy kinda came to mind too but not sure how that works
Im fine to try citizen if you wanna do that, I'm blanking on anything else really
citizen
Nah
T3?
Prolly
I think if we can tell them that their guess isn't quite a zero percent, but is closer to maybe 30 percent??? Then T3 could do it?
I’m not exactly sure how their guess is close to 30%
J5 might do it?
T3 good too
J7 is an option if they don’t get it from t3
But t3 first
Tut
Well king but seems like it's something harder
There's pharaoh which...idk
Could be something like ruler?
Nah, it should be king. S7 is Solomon and J7 is Joffrey.
But it does seems crazy to me that they would take that route when there were slam dunk 1-balls staring right at them.
Eh maybe wasn't as easy as initially seems
Good with it if you wanna fire it and don't have any other thoughts about it
king
yeah
Solomon was our s7 as you said and Joffrey as well
Theoden was my shadowfax from LOTR and t6 was throne
Round 7:
