>Wayne_Clifford: DGO 8G GOD +10 10
>Matthew_Larocque: ?AEHIMR 9E cHIMERA +75 75
#note Best bingo in the sim, but J6 MISHEAR is really close.
>Wayne_Clifford: TUV K8 V.TU +14 24
>Matthew_Larocque: AABELNO 10F OBA +25 100
>Wayne_Clifford: EEGMNO 11B GENOME +33 57
#note That was close.
>Matthew_Larocque: ADELLNT 12C LANE +25 125
#note Another instance where I was completely enthralled in finding all the parallels and must have missed plays from the V. VELDT looks good.
>Wayne_Clifford: CIK 13A ICK +32 89
>Matthew_Larocque: DLTW A12 W.LT +33 158
#note Missed the rest of this rack.
>Wayne_Clifford: AGIS 8K .IGAS +30 119
>Matthew_Larocque: ADINORV M8 .RAVID +24 182
#note I thought about DROVING too, but it looked to me like the board could get junky in a hurry after this, which would be ideal with a 40-50 point lead. Unfortunately I assumed GRAVID was an island six, or whatever you call them. No hooks, not a conjugated verb, etc.
>Wayne_Clifford: BEJ 12L J.BE +28 147
>Matthew_Larocque: AEINOSU 13L O.A +17 199
#note I didn't know the hook, but I still think this is a fine play. NODI in the same spot sims higher, no idea why.
>Wayne_Clifford: OZ 10M .ZO +32 179
>Matthew_Larocque: EINRSTU O7 U. +2 201
#note SUS is good now, which is why I liked this play. It didn't seem like Wayne would have any great responses.
>Wayne_Clifford: Q L7 Q. +11 190
#note lol
>Matthew_Larocque: EINRSTT 14C STINTER +67 268
>Wayne_Clifford: EPR H12 PE.R +27 217
>Matthew_Larocque: INPRTWY C10 Y.... +12 280
#note Maybe it's too early to start crap like this? I don't usually enjoy prolonging games anyways. 6M WYN?
>Wayne_Clifford: INO 6M ION +8 225
>Matthew_Larocque: EINPRTW M5 P. +4 284
#note Okay, this actually is beyond stupid. Just play TWIRP, he probably won't win with just one bingo anyways.
>Wayne_Clifford: ILTU 5I TULI. +14 239
>Matthew_Larocque: EINRTWX J4 T.X +26 310
#note I've already committed to this style so I sacrificed twelve points again. Pretty soon I'll have sacrificed more points than he would have gained had I played normally!
>Wayne_Clifford: AEFL 14K FEAL +46 285
#note And then there's this.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEINRSW - +0 310
#note I'm like, isn't this spelled with a T and a sticky S? I went through the trouble not to open anything easy, so I figured a lost turn wouldn't hurt as much.
>Wayne_Clifford: EF 15N EF +21 306
>Matthew_Larocque: AEINRSW 10A WA. +16 326
#note I should burn my S on JOES instead. I feel as though a lot of of bingos I draw after this won't end in a vowel, which they'll probably need too. Also, it had not occurred to me that he might have JOEY!
>Wayne_Clifford: ACH A7 CHA. +36 342
#note Is this actually happening? I'm gonna choke on the closed board that I so desperately wanted? I mean how else could it end right?
>Matthew_Larocque: EINORSU 4H OU. +6 332
#note I was 99% sure I was toast, and I STILL don't even realize that he might have JOEY.
>Wayne_Clifford: DDEIINS G4 DID +10 352
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EEINRS 15J RES +21 353
#note I didn't even know if/where I was going out next turn. Brutal. I looked where the X is, but wasn't finding anything at all through UT.
>Wayne_Clifford: ENORSY 7A .OYER +14 366
>Matthew_Larocque: ?EIN C3 vEIN. +14 367
#note Wayne drew the Y after it was too late, and it ended up giving me a multitude of outplays to win that are easier to see. We replayed this endgame a few different ways. If he plays SOY at F5, I'm forced to play out using the R in CHIMERA or to find either I1 MINUTE/L1 NISEI. Given my time crunch, I might have taken too long to find any of those!
>Matthew_Larocque: (NS) +4 371
