>Josh: AGNOORT H7 GO +6 6
#note I think GOON or AGOROT or TROGON are more standard here
>Jackson: DDEIRTX 9F DEX +23 23
#note its this or TIX
>Josh: ?ANORTY 10A bARYTON +70 76
#note OCTONARY is best, and TONY might be worth it, sims quite ahead of baryton but below octonary
>Jackson: DEIIRTV A7 VER.ID +33 56
>Josh: ABHOPUV C9 B.AVO +26 102
>Jackson: EIKLRTU 7H .UTLIKE +18 74
#note didnt like KUDO or TURK on this board, but didnt see VIRTU, VIRTUE, or TURKEY. I like GUTLIKE as well, but I think I would do TURKEY had I seen it
>Josh: EHIJOPU K5 JU.EP +28 130
#note B13 JEU is cool to set up OUPH, or N6 JEHU to set up OP- plays. POH is also standard here. J(E)U also sims quite well. I think these are all slightly better than JULEP, which is solid but doesn't do anything as active, besides keeping OK/OH plays. I think JULEP is fine though and I understand not wanting to be aggressive here
>Jackson: ALMRSUW 10K SWUM +30 104
#note I think I missed AWL here, which looks better for sure.
>Josh: AHINOQZ M9 Q.OIN +48 178
>Jackson: ABEFILR L12 BARF +36 140
>Josh: AEHNOTZ 15L .AZE +48 226
>Jackson: AAEILLT M2 ALLIA. +20 160
#note tryna make something happen. considered TILAK too, and hated the (V)IAL type plays
>Josh: HHNNORT N5 TH.N +30 256
>Jackson: AEEORTT 6A OE +14 174
>Josh: HINOORU 5B HOURI +21 277
>Jackson: AEFIRTT 14E FRATTIE. +65 239
#note phony. was pretty sure this was no good, but didnt see a reasonable way to win otherwise
>Josh: DEEGNOS 15G GEED +32 309
#note OVERBIDDEN looks like the play, but thats rather hard to find. GEEZ is also pretty good, but I think GEED or 15A GEODE are fine instead of GEEZ to block the lane, so he can focus on the top and not let me fish too much with different parts of the board open
>Jackson: ?CENNTW 8G W.N +14 253
#note NAW 2L was tempting cause it make a better scoring lane, but it leaves 12 in the bag, so any 1 row scoring play he can get will leave 7 in the bag, meaning any bingo after that will likely not win for me since I'd be emptying the bag. I preferred WON because it's not as easy for him to play 5 tiles (though O1 is a thing...), and I wanted to be able ot make another scoring play next turn before bingoing, ideally along row 2, opening more lanes. However, I didnt consider the likelihood of him hitting an O1 play after WON, which does make that plan harder to execute. With the V lane on row 12, maybe it's okay to take N(A)W to block o1 plays, force his hand at blocking. I could stlil hit a 15 row play after a 1 row block, leaving 2 in the bag and just hope to hit the V lane to win. I think NAW is probably slightly better than WON for this reason
>Josh: EGLNOSS O1 LONGS +27 336
>Jackson: ?CENPRT D1 PREC.T +26 279
#note pretty forced play, and hopefully he doesn't have enough scoring ammunition to outrun outbingoes
>Josh: DEESY 1C S.EEDY +36 372
>Jackson: ?AIIMNS 12C .ItAMINS +76 355
>Jackson: (ACIO) +12 367
