>skaplan31: DEEELST - +0 0
#note Rd 1 Philly virtual 2-14-2021. I'm 2nd.
>DaBag: ?ADIOTU 8F OUTlAID +68 68
#note Not sure why Q thinks OUTsAID is better. I'm fine with this play, it is defensive enough.
>skaplan31: DEEELST 9A DELETES +65 65
#note This and J6 TEASELED both have their drawbacks, so might as well take the points. Make the board full of scoring opportunities.
>DaBag: IMNNORV A6 MIN. +21 89
#note D8 VENOM or VERMIN are better for him.
>skaplan31: ?ACEHIY I8 .ECHAYIm +69 134
#note Only bingo and I was definitely happy to spot this one! LEHAYIM(S) are both good too.
>DaBag: EENOORV L4 OVER.ONE +74 163
#note I would not have seen the NEVERMIND extension, but this is better anyway because it's a bingo.
>skaplan31: AFIKLLQ K11 FLAK +32 166
#note I did have the right idea by realizing that the Q didn't need to be dumped immediately. However, M9 KALIF is definitely better as that doesn't do his work for him shutting down the board, and it's 17 more. #findingbad
>DaBag: GGJPRSS D9 .GGS +12 175
#note Well this is as obvious of an S telegraph as it gets.
>skaplan31: EILNQRW M3 QI +24 190
#note I did see 14H W(I)N(K)LER and 14G WR(I)N(K)LIE, but the Q is just gonna handicap me further.
>DaBag: BEJOPRS H12 POSE +44 219
#note Hard to say that this move is incorrect- it is a close game so I can understand why he took the points over 15G PO(m)BE, assuming he saw POmBE. The only reason why I mind this play is because I had a disconnected 9 that he blocked!
>skaplan31: EILNRTW 10B WI. +30 220
#note 14G TW(I)N(K)LIER would have been the play if he didn't block! This play is fine under the circumstances though.
>DaBag: BBCJNRX J6 BR.N +14 233
>skaplan31: DELNRTZ M11 ZED +41 261
#note M9 NERTZ does a better job getting consos off the rack. This scores the same but is 2nd best due to the consos problem.
>DaBag: BCJMRUX B4 BUM +25 258
#note I would definitely make this play over CUM in the same spot. Either way, he has no good J options or X options that don't keep clunk. He could get rid of another consonant by doing 7D CURB. Either way, he's not in a great spot for next turn.
>skaplan31: LNOORRT G11 ROT +16 277
#note I think I'm gonna defend this play- I did consider C1 ORLON, 4B BORON, and N12 LORN, which Q likes better, but if I can make a perfectly safe play, let's do that and not give him free points in a close game.
>DaBag: CIJPRUX 4B .URP +16 274
#note Hard to say which is really the best option here because nothing stands out once again.
>skaplan31: AELNORT H1 TOLERAN. +77 354
#note Well there's no debating which option is best here though.
>DaBag: ACEIJTX C3 J.T +22 296
#note And in this case, 15K EXACT is the play that would have allowed him to stay in this game and is clearly best.
>skaplan31: AAEGLOS G1 AGE +13 367
#note Sorry Quackle, I did see 14K KOALA and ZEDA hooking plays, but I think I can lock the win up right here. I have the last L for OIL, and if Mitchell decides to make Column N plays involving QI, I can always shut that down easily with the last S in hand.
>DaBag: ACEHIXY N12 HEX +34 330
>skaplan31: AAFLNOS I2 OF +23 390
#note M9 FA(ZED) is a nice one!
>DaBag: ACDINTY O13 YIN +34 364
#note Best play.
>skaplan31: AAELNSW 5E AW +18 408
#note Not doing 5E AWARE when I can fish for bingoes.
>DaBag: ACDIIOT J1 ID +17 381
>skaplan31: AELNRSV 1J .NVARS +39 447
#note I do draw a bingo with every draw excdpt for the U. However, I only draw a playable bingo in 1 spot with a C or an O draw which is 2/8. I figured that since it would probably cost me too much spread because Mitchell knows what I have after the fish, just take the money and run.
>DaBag: AACIIOT C12 ACAI +14 395
>skaplan31: ELU N4 LEU +8 455
#note Best out play and good start. I did miss a few plays, but him missing 15K EXACT proved to be the killer.
>skaplan31: (IOT) +6 461
