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.

Oop
should be pony...
p8 palomino
pony
P8 was Prancing
By itself it makes you think of pony but Prancing also the rare 3-way Shadowfax:
1. It’s also for a horse
2. It’s also from LOTR
3. Standard only some know it rule of shadowfaxes
The Prancing Pony is the inn where the hobbits meet Strider/Aragorn in the beginning of Fellowship
Oh and Fluttershy would be slam dunk if y’all were bronies or had kids who were into My Little Pony
Twilight clue 1 with f10 confirmer woulda been the one shot
Yeah, I was gonna say f10 was the play if thoroughbred whiffed...I think they could deduce what it was even if they didn't necessarily know it. Twilight would've just led them to the movie tho.
Round 15:
Cards used: 19
Guessers: bolt/zeus
The Board:
RG | C | B | T | M | RG | EF
The target word:
I've pmed d1, ervin, ibd
NOTE: THESE ARE THE FINAL LETTERS IN THE GAME
E3/4 is obviously solid. F8 might bink it?
well obviously e3/e4 gets in the domain
f5 is helpful also or maybe f8
c6 on left side is helpful as well
maybe someone has a banger
I kinda doubt there's gonna be a better clue than f8. Even if I had the whole alphabet to work with, that might be what I'd clue anyway.
Yeah, f8
is your f8 f7/f8?
oh yeah, the other f8; not f7/f8
yeah f8 is good; we can just go with that and move to next round tonight
frittata
surely it's omelet
omelette
Indeed.
Lucky we didn't use that card last round or things coulda got pretty messy lol.
can't break an omelette eh
Round 16:
Cards used: 20
Guessers: zeus/d1
The Board:
RG | C | B | T | M | RG
The target word:
I've pmed bolt, ervin, ibd
NOTE: THESE ARE THE FINAL LETTERS IN THE GAME
well, we can clue RG or we can clue RG lol
and then C and M as 2nd option; so we'll need to figure out which side we wanna come from
I think g4 m9 combo is pretty much a lock
haven't thought of a 1-clue banger yet
I haven't been able to figure out the m9 but I understand the g4 + something plan.
So our target word has a lot to do with r5(from r4) - maybe there's a longer word from r4 to bink ours?
There's also r6 which happens a lot but if we went r8 they may not be clear what we want
