>Marlon_Hill: ADFT 8G DAFT +16 16
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEEGIY 9B BIGEYED +73 73
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEEGIY -- -73 0
#note Do or die already. What am I doing. I can win this game even if I chicken out of a valid opening bingo... WALLEYED COCKEYED FROGEYED. Remember!
>Marlon_Hill: HRTU J5 TRU.H +10 26
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEEGIY 9F GEY +17 17
#note K2 GYBE
>Marlon_Hill: ACENOST K9 OCTANES +73 99
#note Took ENACTO(R)S off the board to open a triple-triple! What is this madness!

Marlon must have had a really good reason to do this. Spread? Probably. But not something he would normally suggest or even do.
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEEILU 15G BLUE.ED +33 50
#note lol this is phony for some reason. Why did I think it was good?
>Marlon_Hill: DEGJU M10 JUDGE. +32 131
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AADIIS 14A bASIDIA +72 122
#note luckbox suckbox
>Marlon_Hill: CLMOS A10 CLOM.S +30 161
#note CLOMB does not take an s! Whoa!

Marlon had just held my last two plays. I should have held this, but I had no idea.
>Joshua_Sokol: EFLOPTW 13G FEW +29 151
#note PEWEE? come on son. How did I miss that at 14J when I specifically looked there for like 30 seconds? Also 13G FLOW(N)
>Marlon_Hill: BEIV 10E VIBE +28 189
>Joshua_Sokol: IKLOPTW D11 KIW. +22 173
#note Fishing for POTLIKE with 14J W(E) is something I would do if further down. Was confident I could outrun Marlon here. But I decided not to open a marginal lane with WIKI, and this could actually have cost me the game.
>Marlon_Hill: MOT C12 MO.T +26 215
#note Number one reason: He gets 26 points that he would not have gotten otherwise
>Joshua_Sokol: LNOOPTX N13 OX +39 212
>Marlon_Hill: EGINRZ O8 ZINGER +55 270
#note leading to this
>Joshua_Sokol: ALNOOPT L3 PLATOON +76 288
>Marlon_Hill: AEILNOT 3H ANTI.OLE +72 342
#note then this. He almost played ANTILOPE*, but thought better of it.
>Joshua_Sokol: AEENPRS 4B PANEERS +73 361
>Marlon_Hill: ?AQR H1 Qu..AR +42 384
#note And here we go right into the endgame.
>Joshua_Sokol: HIINOVY O1 VI. +18 379
#note Reason number 2 that KIWI probably cost me the game (obviously other mistakes contributed indirectly): this endgame. I might have had enough points to survive here, but Marlon has a huge spot that is only due to KIWI. Otherwise his plays aren't nearly as good, and only win by single digits. I spent forever here, and ultimately played this, hoping to eke it out somehow without going out.
>Marlon_Hill: AEIRRU E10 .AR +29 413
#note But Marlon obviously was able to win.
>Joshua_Sokol: HINOY B2 HY.ION +32 411
>Joshua_Sokol: HINOY -- -32 379
#note It's HYPOID, loser.
>Marlon_Hill: EIRU 1H .UIRE +15 428
>Marlon_Hill: (HINOY) +22 450
