>sneakyofverb: ABESTTT 8D BETTA +20 20
#note taking the points. guess i could reduce volatility with BAT/TAB but ST is a perfectly fine leave.
>lockjaw_pine: EIIY F6 YI.IE +18 18
>sneakyofverb: CEOQRST H7 Q.T +12 32
#note don't worry about the fact two other Ts have already been played. i mean, you can exchange Q, but why not score something and hold onto a pretty powerful CEORS?
>lockjaw_pine: ADMS E7 M.ADS +25 43
>sneakyofverb: ACEEORS I9 ACEROSE +64 96
#note yes, you play the bingo. it's really that simple.
>lockjaw_pine: APW H13 PAW +45 88
>sneakyofverb: AEGHINZ J4 HAZING +43 139
#note darn it, no spot for the 7. was debating between this and g12 HAZE (41), but once again opted for the higher score. what harm could this choice possibly cause?...
>lockjaw_pine: AEELOSU 4G ALE.OUSE +74 162
#note ...yup, provided him the perfect letter for an 8. oh well, that happens. i'm sure i'll be able to recover...
>sneakyofverb: ?AEGJRY 3A JAGgERY +101 240
#note ...you can't always get what you want. but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
>lockjaw_pine: OSVW O1 VOWS +46 208
>sneakyofverb: IIOOORU A1 RO.I +36 276
#note needless to say, this rack is utter garbage without the J. yay for good timing.
>lockjaw_pine: IOPT B2 P.TIO +28 236
>sneakyofverb: CEHIOOU A6 OUCH +29 305
#note let's use up as many vowels as possible while scoring a nice amount. k3 COHO retaining EIOU isn't worth the extra 10 points.
>lockjaw_pine: ILOR D8 .ROIL +23 259
>sneakyofverb: EINNOTU K3 I.NONE +31 336
>lockjaw_pine: BDDEIN L8 BIDDEN +34 293
>sneakyofverb: EEFMRTU C11 TEF +17 353
#note cp is pushing hard for m12 FUM, but i'm not keen on opening another line for a 7LW. i was paranoid of something like b9 AXLIKE, so i thought i'd shut down that area. (as you'll see in a bit, i kinda didn’t.)
>lockjaw_pine: AEKL J11 LEAK +44 337
>sneakyofverb: DEFMRTU N4 .D +3 356
#note 4 in the bag, small lead, second blank unseen. the only reasonable bingos i saw were down from the E at n4. of course, i totally forgot about the front U-hook for TIS, but the duck is recommending m12 FUM again - which it says results in a 96.67 win %. in my (long and agonizing) decision, i wasn't sure i'd be able to outrun him if i went with FUM and he had something like (E)ARNINGs, so i ditched the D to block and saved my F for under TEF. ED is risky enough, since he could easily outscore me the rest of the way even without bingoing. but i took a while and thought this play would work best. fine, you got me, i was honestly relying on luck to save me.
>lockjaw_pine: AU 7H .U..A +26 363
#note well, that's the rest of the vowels. time to close this one out.
>sneakyofverb: EFIMRTU 14A MUFTI +30 386
#note b10 FUMER/FUMET scores 50. maybe it's a good idea to rereview all the CSW 4s. guess i shouldn't worry too much since MUFTI seals it.
>lockjaw_pine: ?GLNRVX E2 V.Xt +26 389
>sneakyofverb: ENR M12 REN +12 398
