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 diff
Oh and that is a v7
Now I’m liking astronaut, space shuttle, space ship, rocket, etc more than satellite
I have a v7 that's not going to get it, but I'm gonna bold it pretty soon to move this along unless someone pulls something out of their ***
Voyager as clue would get Space Shuttle/Ship every time so it’s not that but it’s in that arena
I still like astronaut best
An astronaut is literally an orbiter; 99% of them go up to ISS and orbit the earth or orbit in a space shuttle
Only a handful ever went to the Moon instead, and I think those then orbited the Moon
They said o5 first and we wouldn't really think astronaut for just orbit would we?
Also wouldn't maybe there be some kind of w6 walker clue
I'm kinda back on the satellite and we may be overthinking
astronaut is someone who goes into orbit
Voyager gets me to astronaut
video gets me to satellite
orbiter and orbit is both
I think you clue orbit for satellite and orbiter for astronaut; they both agreed o7 was the superior form
they said o7 first
d1 said o7
zeus said o5 or o7 (the way you let someone know it's the same word with a suffix) and said he likes o7 best
we have to assume orbiter is >> orbit because that's what they chose to bold
a satellite is something that is in orbit of something else; that's it's definition...feels like they'd go orbit for satellite, not orbiter
still wish we had a v5 for astronaut or a v7 for satellite
I don't see much with the electron/atom route
Nich is the Sides Whisperer.
My v7 that I was lukewarm on was Voyager. And then I thought of a much stronger v7 with "voyager".
yeah I was wondering which you were thinking of
I think Voyager gets the space meaning due to capitalized and then can still assume voyager is in play also, like with Codenames
going voyager denies capital Voyager so keeps us off space and onto explorer, sailor, etc.
either way, v7 confirmer was great, as that was the main reason go to astronaut over satellite, because otherwise v5 for video woulda tilted the odds in satellite's favor

I've pmed the word to d1iabol1cal, zeus, bolt, pogcrazy
c3 is pretty pretty good
g2 is a good confirmer like p7
I don't mind c11 but really think c3 is best
maybe someone has a different banger
well, slight problem with c3 is they may think it's for the wrong thing
let's see what else we got
Me neither.
C10 seems pretty good. Gets right in the ballpark and doesn't really hit much. G4/7 as a confirmer.
Not sure what c10 is; I have 2 c11s but no c10
If y’all got one tho then I’m good with it
G2 could be a nice confirmer if they think of the target
Let's go for it, with a reminder to the guessers to take the time to figure out what nich's G2 confirmer could be.
