>Billy_Nakamura: ADLLLNO E3 DOLL. +18 40
#note Didn't see NODALLY but this is way less dangerous and sims best
>Mike_Frentz: DIMO F2 MODI +21 52
>Billy_Nakamura: ?ACEILN 9F ANgELIC +83 123
#note This is the highest scoring bingo available. LIDOCAINE is a cool play available and possibly better. This creates a hook that I know as a word, but was blind to the rest of the game.
>Mike_Frentz: EHIO 4C HO..IE +22 74
>Billy_Nakamura: AACIRUU L9 .AURI +14 137
#note AURIC making ANGELICA is the play here, but I missed the hook. However, waters the seeds of doubt already present in Mike's mind.
>Mike_Frentz: AEEGINU H1 AGU. +15 89
#note Mike takes a long time here and later told me that he couldn't bring himself to play ANGELICA for his bingo. Huge break for me.
>Billy_Nakamura: AACEPRU 3C UP.. +28 165
#note C(H)APEAU is the star play, but I didn't know it.
>Mike_Frentz: IIII -IIII +0 89
#note Exchange 4
>Billy_Nakamura: AACEGRS 10B CAGES +26 191
#note M9 AG is probably the play here but I still don't see the hook
>Mike_Frentz: BEIZ C9 B.IZE +38 127
>Billy_Nakamura: AAAERRT D12 AR +28 219
#note Sim wants AREA in the same spot, but I couldn't bring myself to open the board
>Mike_Frentz: NOWX I1 WON +18 145
#note Mike told me later that this was an X setup
>Billy_Nakamura: AAEIRTT J1 ARIETTA +76 295
#note Seeing as I never saw ANGELICA, this worked out great for me!
>Mike_Frentz: NX 13K N.X +20 165
>Billy_Nakamura: DEGJLRT 11K J.G +22 317
>Mike_Frentz: ?EEHINT 14F THEINEs +72 237

>Mike_Frentz: BEVY N12 BEVY +35 272
>Billy_Nakamura: AEEORTT O7 ROTATE +26 364
#note Sims best
>Mike_Frentz: NW 15M W.N +27 299
>Billy_Nakamura: DEEFINQ N2 DEFINE +26 390
#note I wanted to block the last remaining bingo line while creating a second Q spot. However, this is bad because it doesn't actually block SOROSES, which is one of 2 bingos in the pool that play on the board as it stands. Should just play QI now or block with N8 DIF/DEF.
>Mike_Frentz: EOOSSSV 14B ESS +26 325
>Billy_Nakamura: QRT K8 Q. +11 401
>Mike_Frentz: OOSV D8 VO. +15 340
>Billy_Nakamura: RT 3M R.T +6 407
#note T(ZA)R. We're through 2 days and I'm somehow in first place in an open field! At this point, I'm telling everyone that I'm just happy to be where I am and that I still didn't think I could win the tournament. I was bracing for a 0-4 finish tomorrow, but was ecstatic that I would be gaining at least 100 rating points regardless of what happens.
>Billy_Nakamura: (OS) +4 411
