SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

Surely the p7 was poultry, not peacock?

D4 was duck, which is why I said it was basically the same path (duck cage/turkey aviary).

Only reason I thought cluck could be one shot was because we do two word guesses and so if they deduce aviary or cage then they could get it since they’d get chicken from cluck

Who knows tho; I messed up saying aviary instead of a6

Yeah, I think they would be pretty hard words to deduce tho, and chicken coop seems kind of an odd word to have on the list. It would most likely end up being a food related guess imo.

Yeah prolly

Chicken coop isn’t something you think of unless clued aviary or cage or something

Round 9:

Cards used: 13
Guessers: bolt/zeus

The Board:

T | P | B | T | IH | RG | DL

The target word:
I've pmed the word to filthy, ibd, ervin, d1

d5
r7 if we end up getting to that card

this could be tough; highly variable depending on knowledge base

G7/G9 could be a thing. R4 maybe with something else.

If your d5 is the same thing I'm thinking of I would be concerned they don't know it. I absolutely didn't until googling a minute ago and would not expect most people to know that

D5 if they know about this will be a lock but if they don’t then it’s close enough they can get the idea and get in the realm

Idk feels like some shadowfax equity to me lol

If I was guessing and got clued d5 I would be like wtf

maybe you have a different d5 than me

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

Also I think d4 + t5 gets them on the wrong kinds of words

Once you go d4 they are on a wrong track and I don’t see how we right that; plenty of words in that realm associated with t5

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.

We are almost certainly thinking of different t5s.

We’ll see

I’m just t12: trepidatious

Nah, I'm quite sure this will not lead them down the wrong path. It's not exactly an obvious t5 either.

Prolly not them; I’m thinking of the obvious t5

t5
L5

idk any of the others

can't think of any good opposites

p10

I don’t have anything to add, sorry. I have mixed feelings about the D4/5 discussion, but am fine with either. Nich’s T5 seems like the right call after that; not sure what D1iab’s not obvious T5 is.

I'm pretty firmly against going with nich's t5 if we go the d4/d5 route (assuming we're all talking about the same thing).

I don't know any of filthy's clues yet.
