>Nigel_Peltier: NTTUY 8H NUTTY +24 24
#note Nigel Peltier as the nutty professor
>Joshua_Sokol: AABGIPT 9G GAP +20 20
#note Myself as the wage gap, rather than the wage bap because the G sucks.

I saw Nigel's record coming in to this game, 10-1 after game 17, and told him that was insane. He replied "Hey man, it's crunch time!"

What a guy
>Nigel_Peltier: ACIO 7I CIAO +28 52

>Nigel_Peltier: IRRW M2 WIRR. +16 68
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEFIIM L1 FAME +39 91
>Nigel_Peltier: EER N2 ERE +26 94
>Joshua_Sokol: ADHIIJS 10D HAJI +33 124
#note couldn't believe no spot for JIHADIS :(, though super interesting decision as a result. JIHADI for points, HADJI for a big more points and a bit less balance, HAJI for balance, AJI for setups. In the end I went with my gut, which was as far off from Quackle's suggestion as ever, but I don't regret the decision one bit considering Nigel probably has a weak range and there's no need to bail it out.
>Nigel_Peltier: ILL D10 .ILL +14 108
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADIIOS 11G DAImIOS +69 193
#note not convinced HAJI was a mistake, even though it was -7. Hm. Am I finally detaching myself from modern strategy as a whole? Are we entering a postmodern Scrabble era, or have we already set foot on the new soil?
>Nigel_Peltier: EFOR H11 .FORE +36 144
>Joshua_Sokol: INORTYZ 14B IRONY +40 233
#note RITZ 12L seemed good too but this seemed better. Block first, score now and later.
>Nigel_Peltier: ADEI 15A IDEA +33 177
>Joshua_Sokol: BGLNTXZ 13F BL.G +17 250
#note Blog now, buy tix later
>Nigel_Peltier: MNO 5I NOM +28 205
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ENTUXZ 11C N.X +38 288
#note N(I)X seemed usually better (it has higher equity) but T(I)X seemed unusually better. I kept the T just in case I drew an S for ZE(S)TS. It was that much of a close call.
>Nigel_Peltier: EEP O1 PEE +28 233
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EKTTUZ L10 Z.UK +34 322
#note really pissed at my choice now cause I might have had KUNZITE, but still in commanding position at least.
>Nigel_Peltier: ADIO 10K A.IDO +23 256
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EHNNTT O8 TH. +18 340
#note I think I reached for the blank slip here or something stupid, thinking I had THIONATE
