>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEEIOY 8F EYE +12 12
#note this game was ridiculous. Just forewarning. Jeremy mentioned he was going through a blank drought, and I thought "that's what someone who won't draw any blanks this game would say..."
>Jeremy_Hall: AHO 7F HAO +20 20
>Joshua_Sokol: ??EEIOU -EU +0 12
#note The play that's valued best statically is actually exchanging keeping both of my blanks!!! I've never seen a position quite like this before. That might be correct!
>Jeremy_Hall: CEET 9D CETE +20 40
>Joshua_Sokol: ??DEIOS D3 DIEStO.k +70 82
#note SD from the bag I pull! Quackle likes S(C)IErOID for the most points, but I think I should try and control this board. Maybe it's already too hooky to control though.
I also scored this as 80 points??? We never found the mistake, but that's definitely significant in terms of the decisions we both made earlier on.
>Jeremy_Hall: BER C2 REB +20 60
>Joshua_Sokol: DGLMRTZ G5 GR...D +11 93
#note An all-consonant draw from heaven! I can now completely sever part of the board. No more 7s from 6H, no more 7s from 10G, no more 7s from 11D, no more double-doubles starting at 5D... Heaven I tell ya
>Jeremy_Hall: DEF B1 DEF +25 85
>Joshua_Sokol: JLLMOTZ 8A MOZ. +45 138
#note now the game is tied, though, so I have do open. Do I play MOJO for 6 fewer or do I play MOZO? I chose the wrong one. The Z is just too good. I felt the J was defensive enough that it wasn't more than 6 points worse than the Z. It's actually 10 points worse!
>Jeremy_Hall: CDEOR H1 CREDO +33 118
#note uh oh, the board is too bingo-friendly again. Stop it Jeremy!
>Joshua_Sokol: BEJLLPT 3G J.BEL +25 163
#note this over B8 (O)BJET because the leave is that much more palatable. Like, much more than you would expect it to be.
>Jeremy_Hall: AW 2H .AW +31 149
>Joshua_Sokol: EILNPST B7 T.PLINES +74 237
#note awesome, he used up the hotspot I set up and blocked the C, just as I wanted to do myself. It's fine though, like I said in another game, best way to defend the board is force your opponent to defend it for you ;)
>Jeremy_Hall: AMX A13 MAX +42 191
#note yet after all this luck, Jeremy is still firing away and staying within range.
>Joshua_Sokol: GILLOPT 1H .LOG +18 255
#note yay immediate note of possible extensions. CLOGGING, CLOGGERS, CLOGGIER yes, but also UNCLOGGING, BECLOGGING, NONCLOGGING (what?!), CLOGGILY and a ridiculous ECLOGITES. Would you see ECLOGITES sandwiching CLOG? I wouldn't unless I was very lucky and alert. I missed (ME)GILP though, and CLOP for one more is better. ----"But the G is the worst tile in the world..."
>Jeremy_Hall: EIW K3 .WEI +14 205
>Joshua_Sokol: EGILNPT J6 PELTING +78 333
#note lol this happens again. Told ya CLOG>CLOP. I love G's, what was I saying? Just knew I would draw the last one. There go all the extensions, bar one! Let's see if it comes up...
>Jeremy_Hall: FI A1 IF +30 235
>Joshua_Sokol: AIKNSTV C11 TANK +37 370
#note uh, this takes an A. Better off playing SANK in the same spot maybe!! If I know it takes an A at least I can play the game properly after this though. It's fine to play TANK here so long as I'm not an idiot that doesn't see TANKA
>Jeremy_Hall: AIQU I10 QUAI +30 265
>Joshua_Sokol: AINNOSV 12H V..INA +28 398
#note 15C AVIONS is now 48 points that I lost. Predictably, Jeremy had absolutely no reaction to this play. -_-
>Jeremy_Hall: ATU H12 .ATU +23 288
#note lol
>Joshua_Sokol: AINNOSU 1F UN.... +9 407
#note greedy like it's monopoly. Interestingly N9 UNISON is Championship Player's choice, forcing the end of the game by emptying the bag. That's not the right play.
>Jeremy_Hall: AORS L3 SORA +40 328
>Joshua_Sokol: AINORSV N10 VISOR +43 450
>Jeremy_Hall: HIORTUY M11 H.Y +33 361
#note -1 to M12 (A)HOY
>Joshua_Sokol: AN M5 AN +11 461
#note -1 to TANKA. TANKA. TANKA. Come on.
>Joshua_Sokol: (IORTU) +10 471
