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.

I don't wanna think about it too much because we were straight up told we had 0 chance of getting this in one. I'm fine to bold metric unless you can come up with a better option.
metric
0%
I like k4 over k8 for reasons
Well, actually I see an argument for k8 for pairing with Parisian
Parisian k8 makes more sense and less likely to lead them astray than Parisian k4
Yea just do k8 and they should get it imo
Hopefully lol...idk what we can say but obv a hard word, would take a lot for me to guess it on that side
knitting to the right of Parisian.
wat
I think I know what this is supposed to be, but I can't think of the word atm. Hopefully it comes to me at some point.
Macrame is all I can think of, but I cannot imagine that is on the list
Not the word I'm thinking of. I know you will have heard of it.
Could it be an article of clothing, like a beret (which I don’t think is knit, but maybe) or a scarf? I know they aren’t uniquely French, but aren’t French people always wearing scarves?
What I'm thinking of is a type of knitting or sewing or something...I'm not even sure what it is exactly tbh, but it's a French sounding word I've heard a bunch.
Sorry, I can’t think of anything else. Hopefully it comes to you.
I still feel like I should be able to think of it but it's just not coming to me. It's been on the tip of my tongue a few times. Kinda awkward because it's not like any other clues are gonna help, so I either remember it or we're stuck.
This is of course assuming that is what the word actually is haha.

I literally don't understand this game. But if this comment is no longer relevant (i.e. this part of the game is done/I can guess your word) I think I know the word you're thinking of?
this game we just give a one-word clue for the target word; like codenames but without any list of possible words
and we are limited to only words starting with the letters on the outside of the row that I post in the new round post
each round only 2 people playing are the guessers; this time it's ibd and d1; if they guess wrong, then we give another clue from the letters that are now on either side of the list
you can't help them yet, unfortunately, but you can join in and play if you want; it's a group game so you'll pick it up quickly as you go
Oh ****, I just got it.
Crochet!
LOL
How tf did I not think of that? There’s nothing else for us to consider.
crochet
well done! Yeah, if you didn't get it here and guessed something randomly we woulda just burned a card and waited for you to eventually remember it; no other clue to give
I can’t believe I thought of macrame and not crochet. Glad you got us there, D1iab!
Thats the toughest word in recent memory. Not many ways to get there - you guys clued it perfectly
Technically macrame clue would be knotting
My grandma made all of us crocheted blankets and I have also crocheted in the past, so to me it was obvious (great clue Ervin!!) but if not exposed then I can see how hard it would be to think of it, so great pull d1 and can’t blame you ibd
