>Edward: ADNORUY 8D YOURN +24 24
#note Repeat 50 times or until you get it - THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PUTTING A U NEXT TO THE DLS. Just play DUROY or OUNDY.
>Cameron: ?AEEITX 7H EXpIATE +74 74
>Edward: ADFFORT 8L DOFF +51 75
#note Oops. Was too obsessed with my own cleverness for seeing AFFOORD and trying to work out if there's any universe in which it overrides the defense of DOFF that I overlooked the bing. -15. But AFFOORD is another 5 worse so, yay.
>Cameron: COZ 6F COZ +32 106
>Edward: ABGQRTV -BGQV +0 75
>Cameron: AAIILST J3 TILA.IAS +61 167
#note I feel like every time I play Cameron he just races through the heavy letters in the first five moves leaving absolutely nothing for me, and all I can do is hope that I offer dogged resistance I might pull out something good. It seldom happens. My mood wasn't good here.
>Edward: AEEMPRT 3H AT.EMPER +76 151
>Edward: BEHNOUV (challenge) +5 156
#note Clearly best even without the welcome nickel.
>Cameron: GRV H1 GR.V +36 203
>Edward: BEHNOUV 2L HUB +35 191
>Cameron: LST 9H SL.T +18 221
>Edward: DEEINOV 1M DOE +23 214
#note ARGGHHHHHH at that last block.
>Cameron: GLLU D4 GULL. +18 239
>Edward: CHIN E2 CHIN +25 239
#note What the heck am I doing holding onto the V? Does it have dirty pics of me or something. Flop play. I know one must face one's biases about certain tiles but Vs suck and that's just a fact
>Cameron: OR 7D .OR +10 249
>Edward: AEEINOV 2B VOI.E +24 263
>Cameron: IOY 1F YO.I +13 262
>Edward: AADENIU 10J .AUNA +9 272
#note Inferred Cameron was sitting on a dynamite rack here and thought I needed to block, LAUAN using the same letters is better and the 7 extra points of ALIUNDE are better still no matter what.
>Cameron: G K9 ..G +8 270
>Edward: ADEIIMN 4L ME +35 307
#note Outstanding pick-up, Cam probably has two Ss here. Theoretically I could play this and hope to get a bing next turn on to the bingo he is sure to play. Keeping two Is is a bit rubbish but this scores so much more than any other alternative i felt I had to, there's only one I out...
>Cameron: EIPRRSS 12H PRISERS +79 349
>Edward: AADDEIN H12 .AID +21 328
#note I guess I need the bing here so this whacks open a bunch of lines that can't all be blocked at once, through the I and D, the A/PAID hook and there's still the V, noting that yes, Vs are terrible.
>Cameron: JW C1 J.W +26 375
>Edward: ADEEIKN 6N KI +36 364
#note KI comes out at winning 31% of games vs 26-ish for KA. Another adequate choice!
>Cameron: AEENTTW 13L WET +23 398
#note Not sure what Cameron's actual rack was. He didn't have the Q.
>Edward: ?ABEENO 15A BEmOANE. +83 447
#note Just goes to show, you can draw almost no power tiles for the game, and then blank vs Q can turn everything around by 100 points in the blink of an eye. Persevere!
>Edward: (ADENNQT) +34 481
