>Joshua_Sokol: ADINORT H7 DO +6 6
#note there is a funny Josh story attached to this game. I'll recount it over a few turns.
23:35
>Rafi_Stern: ?DEIILV 9F VIED +15 15
#note A few games earlier, I had seen what I thought was the word TARDION* in a CSW game.
19:52
>Joshua_Sokol: AAIMNRT E5 MARTIAN +95 101
#note Failing to either recognize the word that was actually played or failing to look the rack up, I figured that TARDION* was just another CSW 7 that cleans up a rack that is dead in TWL.
23:17
>Rafi_Stern: ??EILTT 12B ThIsTLE +71 86
#note So, when I drew ADINORT out of the bag, my recent experience dictated that I did not have a bingo on my rack, even though the rack seemed vaguely familiar.
17:46
>Joshua_Sokol: AAKLOUV 8A VAUL. +27 128
#note Anyways, I still looked at the rack for a couple of minutes before deciding it was dead.
22:20
>Rafi_Stern: AENOZ D1 ZONAE +52 138
#note Actually, I'm not even sure anymore if I saw TARDION* before or after I played this game.
16:05
>Joshua_Sokol: AEKNOSW 11H WEAKONS +83 211
#note I did however draw a bingo into AKO, a 3% happenstance, so missing DIATRON really paid its dividends.
21:57
>Rafi_Stern: BCMO 2B CO.MB +34 172
#note Had I played the bingo, the game would have been about even, since it would have given Rafi his own bingo.
14:11
>Joshua_Sokol: DEFNNST L10 F.ND +16 227
#note On the bike ride to Hamilton with Jackson the same day, I was thinking about Scrabble, and somehow came up with INTRADOS. I knew INTRADOS had an anagram, and I started to worry that I wasn't seeing this high probability 8, since INTRADOS was the word I always struggled to see in the past. Why can I no longer find the other word?
>Rafi_Stern: QU B6 QU. +32 204
>Joshua_Sokol: CEENSTX F5 EX +55 282
#note Had Rafi had the foresight to block the X bomb this turn that I was supposed to be nowhere near hitting, I stll would have had N9 EX(S)ECT for 62 keeping NS.
20:18
>Rafi_Stern: HLOY B10 HO.LY +38 242
#note 10:00
>Joshua_Sokol: CDEENST 4F DESCENT +83 365
#note Had I phonied here with DECENTS*, which I put a lot of thought into, not remembering SCENTED being a common word and the real anagram of DESCENT, Rafi would have only been able to block both spots for my bingo if he had one of three racks to extend EME to EMENDATING, EMERGENCES or EMENDATORS.
>Rafi_Stern: EGPRU 14K PURGE +25 267
>Joshua_Sokol: AGIIIST 15G ATIGIS +39 404
>Rafi_Stern: EHW O12 WH.E +42 309
#note So, I missed DIATRON on my opening rack. What a shame.
>Joshua_Sokol: AAIPTUY 3J YAUP +27 431
>Rafi_Stern: EGOR 2J ERGO +26 335
#note 3:03
>Joshua_Sokol: ABELOT 1D .EALOT +53 484
#note honestly
15:08
>Rafi_Stern: AIJOR N6 RIOJA. +17 352
>Joshua_Sokol: BFIINRS 8K INF.S +27 511
#note I mistracked the last 5 tiles he played, thinking he was holding ARE. FIBR(I)N 7J blocks his outs, and 1M FIB is 7 points better than this. -14
