>Morris_Greenberg: ACEIILO 8G CIAO +12 12
#note MG: Lots of similar ideas between CIAO, ILIAC, AIOLI, and OLEIC, I liked the closedness of this enough, Quackle likes ILIAC or OLEIC.
>Jared_Cappel: ?DEEOST 9H DEnOTES +66 66
#note JC: I declared the blank an N, then announced my score as 66 like Mario Lemieux (his jersey number). Morris took that to mean the blank was an M (for Mario). Only in Canada, eh?
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EIILMT N2 LIMITEd. +72 84
#note MG: I was forgetting which of rELIMIT(S)* or dELIMIT(S) was valid, I played this after not wanting to risk my turn, failing to think about that LIMITEr(S) is more defensive than LIMITEd(S).
>Jared_Cappel: ADISTTU O1 DITA +27 93
#note JC: The sim likes my play of DITA slightly over DITA at O5.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADELOPR L6 POR.ALED +74 158
>Jared_Cappel: EFNSTUZ 10C FUTZES +42 135
#note JC: Should probably just play FEZ here at M12. Quackle agrees.
>Morris_Greenberg: BCGHOPR M3 BOG +30 188
#note MG: GOB for 1 less same spot may be worth it here given the OBIT hook. I should've thought about that.
>Jared_Cappel: AADENUW O6 AWA +28 163
>Morris_Greenberg: CHIJMPR D9 J.MP +30 218
>Jared_Cappel: DELNOUW 12B UN.LOWED +65 228
>Morris_Greenberg: CHIKRRT 7H KHI +35 253
>Jared_Cappel: EENOOQT B11 Q.EEN +28 256
>Morris_Greenberg: CGNRRTY 14A G.NTRY +18 271
>Jared_Cappel: AEIINOO 13J OI.IA +12 268
#note JC: I didn't even consider the X was out when making this play. AIOLI looks best at 11I.
>Morris_Greenberg: ABCLNRS 15F ALB +20 291
#note MG: I wasn't playing sharply here, I didn't even think about the possibility of an X setup the previous turn. R(I)B K12 is my play if I think there is a chance of an X setup there. If not, this is fine, maybe ARB given 3 Rs in the pool to no Ls.
>Jared_Cappel: EENOTUX 14I EX +50 318
#note JC: Luckbox to draw into the X after not considering the possibility the previous turn.
>Morris_Greenberg: CINRRSY 15J YIRR +21 312
>Jared_Cappel: ENNOOTU L1 NOON +28 346
#note JC: Quackle has NEON as slightly better than NOON, leaving OUT. There are 2 E's unseen but no O's so it's worth considering.
>Morris_Greenberg: ACFNRSV N12 C.F +16 328
#note MG: Tough turn, not a lot of time to think it through. I chose C(A)F over V(A)C at the time because I think ANRSV hit more bingos in the pool than AFNRS. I didn't realize until after the game that (1) V(A)N does a better job than both to go for bingos, as it could hit things like REFACES/S(KIDS), but also SCARFI(N)G, and (2) I need to hope Jared isn't holding an S here to leave SKIDS, so playing the S for 10 extra here is likely worth it so outrunning becomes tougher for him.
>Jared_Cappel: AEGRTUV 1G GRAVE. +30 376
#note JC: Figured I had to empty the bag to avoid giving Morris another shot at fishing for a bingo. VEGAN is a safer idea than GRAVEN to stop something like SHAVIES coming down. I lose about 2% more often after GRAVEN instead of VEGAN but still win most of the time. A final mistake in a day full of blunders. Hats off to Morris who clearly outplayed me over the set.
>Morris_Greenberg: AENRSUV 6D NEVUS +26 354
>Jared_Cappel: EHISTU 2F HIES +22 398
>Morris_Greenberg: AR O14 AR +11 365
>Morris_Greenberg: (TU) +4 369
