SIDES - Inaugural Game Thread

We shoukd have kept "bottle."

I have a c6/s7 combo that I believe Nich will figure out with his Sherlock Holmes savant like skills.

Woof, I'm drawing a blank currently

I’m fine with whatever you want, bolt. I’ve got nothing. But someone other than you better know this S7, because they’ll have to clue it.

Yea I'm all good with the trust, we just need someone to know one of the words to complete the dynamic duo

Normally I'd give the s7 first, followed by c6 or c8 to clarify it and steer them in the right direction.

D1 will prolly have a great 1-shot clue

Yeah, this is hard.

I have a pretty good m6 > s4 combo that should work, but don't see any conceivable way we get this in 1. Also another m8 into s8 that is similar.

I think I know the m8/s8 and we can make it work. there's also a possibility that my s7 is a shadowfax clue.

Is the m8 you're thinking of similar to s4? If so, let's go for it.

I'm not sure about s4. The m8 I'm thinking of is similar to c11. If you think I have it you can give me the thumbs up.

Hmm, must be different then.

If you think about the word and then think of something that it's similar to but also never hits, then you should get there (s4 that is).

Can s4 be s5? And with a different s5 sorta hit?

The first part, yeah sorta. But that second part...I don't think so? Your s4 is mayyybe the same as the s8 I was thinking of, but damn this is really hard to talk about lol.

Gah, I really think somebody should be able to get the s4.

If it's not too hard then I should know s4? I dunno the M but imagine you can start with that and hopefully bolt is on the same wavelength or me w the s4, maybe another hint or 2 for us lol

I think if I clue the M8 that I suspected D1 had (but probably didn't) then the team will know what s4/s5 word to clue next to get us there.

I'm game

It's been a long enough wait.

Michelin

C11 like Michelin is Continental, another major tire maker

Haven’t looked at everything yet but that stood out

So thinking this is more tire related than restaurant/star related

Bump

Yeah I’ve been busy with people in town so haven’t had a chance yet to look at this

Should have time tonight around midnight

any thoughts zeus? this one is a tough one

Michelin = tire, wheel, rubber, car, racing words or stars, guide, restaurants, chefs or the Michelin Man, their mascot who is kinda like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man but made of fluffy tires instead

s8 = suitcase, s5 = spare -> trunk of car holds spare tire and suitcases; so trunk is an option, but no c5 crate or tree word mentions makes this prolly not right

s8 = sidewall, s4 similar = side -> hubcap, rubber, tread, wheel, rims, etc

I think the more direct s word is gonna be needed for this because this isn't obvious from Michelin and there are so many options of what c and s can be

I do like c11 being Continental tires, which would make this for the tire/wheel/rubber/car/racing words, not stars/restaurants or the Michelin Man

could be a random car part like engine, transmission, radiator, exhaust, etc but tough to get without knowing the c/s words

s7 direct is the one I'm going to think about a bit more now that Michelin narrowed it down, presumably...hopefully I'm not thinking inside the wrong box tho

also lots of things have tires besides cars

words like wagon, wheelbarrow, dolly etc woulda had cart or carry c4/c5 mentions

but maybe it's some other item with a wheel and not a car tire

s7 could be spoiler -> trunk again

s7 could be speaker so car audio related
s7 could be service so mechanic or oil change or something

may be too many options here
