>Michael_Fagen: AEEORRT 4G O.ERRATE +72 72
>Joshua_Sokol: ABGIOUZ G3 B.ZO +39 69
#note considered this, BIZ G7 and (R)UBIGO K4. Missed N1 GAZ(E)BO. This looked better than BIZ for sure, but maybe keeping ZA-type plays with RUBIGO is a good idea, they could even interfere with OVERRATED/OVERRATES. GAZEBO sims best by a decent amount #findingsmall
>Michael_Fagen: FGOS O1 FOGS +40 112
>Joshua_Sokol: AGGIMTU F6 MUGG +26 95
#note Just MUG sims equally with MUGG. No thank you? Lots of N's remain is the reason, so AGIT has especial synergy. #questionable
>Michael_Fagen: ?EEELNT I6 ELEmENT +70 182
#note K4 (R)ELENTEd #findinglarge

#note After so many attempts of anagramming TEXTURES (maybe only 1 or 2) on aerolith, I failed IRL to anagram TEXTURES and played this phony. Michael found TEXTURES and decided that I wouldn't phony if I had TEXTURES available for the same score. Self-defeating fallacies are the best fallacies. URTEXT, URTEXTS and URTEXTE are valid, but as I suspected, this one doesn't take an S. #findingsaddest #knowledgesaddest
>Michael_Fagen: IP H10 PI. +18 236
>Joshua_Sokol: AAFIPWW J8 WAW +41 259
>Michael_Fagen: IKN 3L KIN. +30 266
>Joshua_Sokol: ABDEFIP 7B FAB +21 280
#note thought about MODED* but correctly remembered it was phony, eventually. But it might have cost me the game to think so much about MODED*. OUTMODED is good. DEMODED and DEMODE, UNMODED* is MOUNDED (thought UNMODED* was the word that was confusing me about MODED* but it was actually further confusion)

I eventually fell onto this thinking it had to be better than 3D FIB(BE)D. It's slightly better according to Quackle #questionable
>Michael_Fagen: EHIILNO 2M HO. +24 290
>Joshua_Sokol: DEIMPQT 11K IMPED +24 304
#note this was horrible. I obviously want to address the S(HIT) hook, but I again thought about MODED* and MI(R)ED. I was upset that I drew the Q and that Michael was clearly close to a bingo. I was upset that I played URTEXTES* instead of TEXTURES. So despite looking briefly at E(KING), completely failed at finding PE(R)MIT, by far the best play. This is really bad. It does create some play if Michael plays a 7 on row 1, but it also might give him a bingo. And I can just block his shit. I saw PERMIT right after I made my play. I also completely missed (MODE)M. #findingsaddest
>Michael_Fagen: ?ALRRSU 1G LARRUpS +75 365
#note Michael fastbagged here as he was unsure of LARRUPS. I still would have caught him in time if this wasn't valid I think. But yeah, sus. Still a great find.
>Joshua_Sokol: ELOQTTV O6 VOLTE. +30 334
#note hoping for the challenge now.
>Michael_Fagen: AU - +0 365
#note got the free turn!
>Joshua_Sokol: AILOQTT 13B QAT +26 360
#note things still suck here. I might want to play TALI(P)OT or N10 T(E)LIA to redraw an A for QAT. #questionable
>Michael_Fagen: AU B13 .UA +24 389
>Joshua_Sokol: CIILNOT 15A L.IC +27 387
#note didn't think TELIC took an S, otherwise I might have done that at N10. I knew this play wasn't winning much, just couldn't find a better plan. Thought I might somehow catch him somehow, but it's important to look for a lot of other options. I didn't see M9 LI(P)IN which might be the call here. Quackle thinks C(A)TION 15A wins sometimes. I don't think so. Maybe I draw into PIXIES sometimes and that's enough to steal some games? Chalking it up to Quackle being bad. Also considered CI(P)OLIN. Michael is low on time, so if the endgame is complicated he might choke or challenge again. #questionable
>Michael_Fagen: Y 10N Y. +26 415
>Joshua_Sokol: IIJNOST F2 JO +30 417
#note this just seemed lost. Hoping to draw the E here for PIXIES. But that also draws into TIE(P)INS. That's the only win I could find. a 1/8 for this. Let me know if you spot something better that doesn't require Michael to make a mistake, but suggestions of complications are also valid here given the time situation. I thought about (P)IN M3 for example, which would require him to block JOIST by some means. Didn't seem complicated enough.
>Michael_Fagen: AEHNNOO 13F OH +20 435
#note and this was complex enough apparently.
>Joshua_Sokol: IIINST J3 I.IS +16 433
#note I should 100% play (FA)INT B7 first to block 9A plays and 12A NA. Michael then has to find a way to block I(R)IS J3. Then maybe I somehow salvage a tie if Michael misses everything and plays for 12.
>Michael_Fagen: AENNO 9A ONE +17 452
>Joshua_Sokol: INT M11 .INT +12 445
#note ah, he gave me IN(FAN)T for 1 more. #endgamesmall
>Joshua_Sokol: (AN) +4 449
