>Scott_Garner: AFIQUX 8G FAUX +28 28
#note Tasha's Endgame Misadventures Episode.... Whatever. After the game, Scott said he left QI. He wanted to set up his Q for a decent play at I7. Or he can always dump the Q at F7.
>Tasha: AEELMNV 9B VELAMEN +72 72
#note But I ruined his plans. :(
>Scott_Garner: IIIII -IIIII +0 28
#note I don't know why I did it this way. I know he threw the Q back in.
>Tasha: ?AEEEIR 10E AERIE +24 96
>Scott_Garner: AINTY B9 .ANITY +28 56
>Tasha: ?AEKOOT A11 OKA +27 123
>Scott_Garner: ?BEGHNS 11H SHEBaNG +83 139
>Tasha: ?EEOSTU O8 OUTSEEn +84 207
>Scott_Garner: QT L10 Q.T +22 161
>Tasha: CCEIOOS J6 CO. +18 225
#note M8 COIN is a bit better. I like COIN. Blocks any bingos on row 13 and eliminaetes any set ups on row 14.
>Scott_Garner: ELOP C9 .LOPE +34 195
>Tasha: CEGILOS M9 GI. +17 242
#note Scott took a very long time last turn and the whole time I'm thinking, "Please don't block ECLOGISE.*" I'm so glad he blocked it. It saved me some humiliation. I think I was confusing it with ECLOGITE.
>Scott_Garner: FNU N13 FUN +19 214
>Tasha: CELNORS N2 CLONERS +74 316
#note I was playing CORNELS at first then switched it to CLONERS half-way through. I made the right play. Afterwards, Scott said had I played CORNELS, he would have bingoed through the R. I told him that's why I played CLONERS instead. I figured it's harder to bingo through an O than an R. I'm strategizing! :D
>Scott_Garner: EOV 5K OVE. +14 228
>Tasha: ADINTWZ M3 AW.D +28 344
#note YES! I always mess racks like this up, but I think I'm learning. For the longest time, I just wanted to play 15L ZIN. It's my natural instinct to just want to play off tiles like the Z ASAP, but this time I just knew it was the wrong play. Because, you know, I always make a play like ZIN with racks like this and it's always wrong. But I couldn't even see anything else. Right when I resigned myself to ZIN, I see AWED. INTZ is much better than ADNTW. And I can always play ZIN next turn.
>Scott_Garner: OSUY K11 .UOY +11 239
>Tasha: BILNTWZ 15L ZI. +22 366
>Scott_Garner: ADMR J10 D.RMA +39 278
#note Scott has really good board vision. He's also doing well right now in New Orleans! Woohoo!
>Tasha: BGLPTW - +0 366
#note I challenged. I learned AERIED. This is when things start to get a little funny.
>Scott_Garner: AEJRS 15F RAJES +45 323
>Tasha: BGLPTW -BGLPT +0 366
#note I exchanged 6, but I forgot what my last tile was. I didn't have any vowels. Anways, I kept the W because I felt it will help me in endgame if I draw the last A. Drawing AH will be even better. I considered playing B(AA)L, but exchanging is mandatory. What tiles you decide to keep is solely dependent on whether or not you suck.
>Scott_Garner: EHIIIRT 6F THRI.E +15 338
#note Actual rack.
>Tasha: ADIIRTW O3 AW +25 391
#note The only playable bingo I saw was DIPLONT and I didn't block it because I figure from Scott's last play that he doesn't have it. He played off two vowels - including the case E - in a consonant-heavy pool. His rack must suck.
>Scott_Garner: GIINP 12A ...PING +32 370
>Tasha: DIIORTT 5D TRIO +15 406
#note I took several minutes here trying to think of the best endgame. I think I found a good sequence in 5D TRIO ---> L1 DIT. TRIO leaves unblockable outs in two spots. I figured that there can't be anything much better than what I found.
>Scott_Garner: BDIL 4I BID +10 380
>Tasha: DIT 14I D.. +10 416
#note See what had happened was I suddenly decided that TALA isn't a word. I need to stop second guessing myself. I also need to study the fours again.
>Scott_Garner: L 6M ..L +4 384
>Scott_Garner: (IT) +4 388
