>Arie_Sinke: DHIIRRU -HIIRU +0 0
#note This is okay. Sims like this but have a very slight preference for IRID and keeping DIR instead of DR (I guess the I is good for vowel-consonant balance.)
>Jason_Li: LOOTT 8D LOTTO +12 12
>Arie_Sinke: ADDDEIR 9C DID +12 12
#note This looks a little bit better than ADD 7G despite scoring two fewer points, which suggests that ADER works better than DEIR here.
>Jason_Li: AEIINOP 10E EPINAOI +71 83
>Arie_Sinke: ABDENNR K4 ENDBRA.N +94 106
#note Best bingo.
>Jason_Li: ?ALPRRS 4E SPARkL.R +70 153
>Arie_Sinke: AEEEIUW J2 WA.IE +25 131
#note Looks best.
>Jason_Li: AKUW 3D WAUK +33 186
>Arie_Sinke: EEORRUU -EORUU +0 131
#note I don't really like any of the available plays here. ROUE 2A does well in a sim, which looks pointless to me - sets so much up. Same with EURO L11. I would exchange here again despite what Quackle tells me.
>Jason_Li: ?EEFHST 12H FrESHET +94 280
>Arie_Sinke: BEFORTU 13M FOB +28 159
#note This is my eighth consecutive loss and I think I've already checked out and started to play for equity. This blocks my most valuable hook and essentially concedes the game while trying to cut spread. I might want to consider BOEUF M10 for 20 - I set up a second S hook instead of blocking one, and it's conceivable that I could get two consecutive bingos and make it competitive. I just wasn't in the mood for giving myself a chance here - it felt like no matter what I did I would inevitably lose the game.
>Jason_Li: COO 2F COO +31 311
>Arie_Sinke: EEGRTUY 14M TYE +34 193
#note This looks okay; I also give myself a chance by setting up EFTS.
>Jason_Li: AIN H12 .AIN +21 332
>Arie_Sinke: EGRRSUV 9J G.UR +9 202
#note I played this because I wanted to maximize my chances of bingoing while creating an S hook in an otherwise unused part of the board. I does well in a sim, probably because there are no alternatives that score particularly well.
>Jason_Li: JO 1H JO +54 386
>Arie_Sinke: EILRSVX N4 VEXILS +38 240
#note Poor play, missed SCUP, which would allow me to play VEXILS for 59.
>Jason_Li: DO 15N OD +34 420
>Arie_Sinke: AEIRTUY O6 UTA +26 266
#note This is fine for spread, maybe YURTA 11A if I want to give myself a tiny chance of winning and live dangerously?
>Jason_Li: EEGIMN C9 .EEMING +22 442
>Arie_Sinke: AEEILRY 15A YA.ER +30 296
#note ARGYLE is a better play. I thought I was giving myself a chance of winning with QUEAZILY, but that's not even good.
>Jason_Li: ACEHIMZ B12 HM +18 460
>Arie_Sinke: AEEGILQ F6 QA. +32 328
#note This is fine.
>Jason_Li: CINSTUV 14G V.N +6 466
>Arie_Sinke: EEGILRZ 2B ZEE +29 357
#note ZEE is my best play.
>Jason_Li: CISTU 5A CUTIS +20 486
>Jason_Li: (GILR) +10 496
