>rafi: EFILNOT H4 FLITE +24 24
#note don't like OF here very much, EILNT isn't that good and OF can get blocked easily
>jackson: ABIJMUU G6 BUM +19 19
#note JUMBAL is huge here

Josh: yes, I didn't remember this word
>rafi: DEILNOR 4F IN.OLDER +74 98
>jackson: AIJLNSU M2 JU.AL +24 43
>rafi: AEEHINO N2 OH +33 131
#note I saw EON and it's cool because it sets up HE for 40, but he can also take that spot a decent amount of the time, and sometimes he'll bingo with it which sucks.
>jackson: INOSSUY O1 OY +28 71
>rafi: AEEEINO K2 AE.INE +14 145
#note luckily the L and D stay open to bail out my vowel draw - OLEINE has a lot of merit cause AE > OE, the K column I open is a lot harder to hit than the J column I open after AEDINE.
>jackson: CINSSUU 5B UNCUS +16 87
#note josh is getting owned by draws. I totally agree with this placement, keeping BUMS open and opening the top left
>rafi: BDEENOP C3 BO.ED +20 165
#note It would be nice to block BUMS here, which I can do with PENNED or something, but that also is a big sacrifice for my outscoring ability, and opens a better 7s lane than BONED. I really like what BONED does to the top left, it's quite wrecked. BUMS also gives back a lot to me if he hits it so it wasn't a huge priority to block.
>jackson: AADIRSX D7 AX +20 107
#note I kinda like 3E AX here to keep BUMS open, AX lets me block as I did the next turn

Josh: I regret not playing AX up there, but I was worried Jackson would gain too much in the future from creating scoring above AX making A(XIS) setting up the T for T(AXIS) the turn after... Seemed too easy for him to do that, but it's unlikely this will be a factor.
>rafi: EEGNPRV 9C VEG +21 186
#note I had PERV lined up on my rack but was only considering 9C PERV, definitely not F7. PERV takes OSY, so playing at F7 makes really tough to block hooks and gives him much more access to the board.
>jackson: ?ADIQRS 3F QI +27 134
#note I get QInDARS if I play the other AX. Horrid.
>rafi: EHNOPRV J2 HO.PEN +46 232
#note gggggggg
>jackson: ?ADDNRS N5 DANDeRS +69 203
#note oh damn I guess not gg
>rafi: CRSTVWZ -CRTVW +0 232
#note oh fuck not GG at alllll
>jackson: AAEGILO O6 GOA +27 230
>rafi: AAEIKSZ 10D SIZE +47 279
#note ooh I didn't consider SIKA in the same spot!
>jackson: AEILNWY 11G LINEWAY. +80 310
>jackson: AEILNWY -- -80 230
#note so bad. I thought that LIFEWAYS was not what I would be confusing this word with, but forgot about LANEWAYS. My process of eliminating words via words I might be confusing the phony with is not perfect.
>rafi: AAIIKPW 11E PA +31 310
>jackson: AEILNWY O11 INLAY +29 259
>rafi: AAIIKRW I8 WIKI +20 330
>jackson: ?EEEITW H11 TWEEd +35 294
#note TWEEnIE is big here, though he's still in a pretty bad position

TWEEnIE I saw but didn't think it was valid.
>rafi: ACORRST 14F CR.ATORS +68 398
#note just being safe
>jackson: AEGIORV L8 GROVIE. +26 320
#note D1 VIA is best to set up GRO(V)E. :( -10
>rafi: EFMRTTT D2 MER. +24 422
>jackson: A 10I .A +8 328
#note V happy with this game, although it would have been nice to consider the IZARS potential and at least see and discount SIKA
>jackson: (FTTT) +14 342
