#note Quackle prefers O(K)E E7 by ~0.5%, I get the logic but just wasn't the style of game I wanted again Seth.
>Seth_Lipkin: AEGG E3 GAGE +16 34
>Morris_Greenberg: ?EHISST 10F SwITHES +78 90
#note This is so bad. I wasn't 100% on SI(G)HTSEe so I manage to play an actual phony. I am lucky this wasn't challenged. I missed ST(A)ItHES over the board 4C, I probably would have played that over both.

>Seth_Lipkin: JR 4D J.R +20 54
>Morris_Greenberg: AAEOPRV L8 PA.EO +30 161
#note I considered a bunch of things here, I ultimately thought AVO 9J allowed for too much counterplay, and PARVO and VAPOR C3 could lose a lot of tempo in the game if I draw all vowels (whereas ARV is likely to work fine on this board regardless of draw between A(JAR) hook, (P)ERV if I draw an E, blocking plays in row 12 or column M, etc.)

>Seth_Lipkin: ?EINRTZ H8 .N.TIZER +54 135
#note Seth's actual rack, really beautiful find. I am lucky he didn't see N8 (U)NITiZER, but this is nearly as good a play. He was considering trying C(U)T(I)NIZER* here too.

#note Really nice dynamic play here from Seth. F and P available for F(ACTIONS) or P(ACTIONS), and keeping the A8 line alive too.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADEGLNO 2I .NGLE +8 391
#note I figured this blocks any super high point bingos (e.g., REDFISH), and I didn't see any bingos at A8 (I missed SIDEHIL(L) in the pool), but if there are any, a hooking play for FACTIONS or PACTIONS, or ANGLED or ANGLER should be able to outrun. Crazily, if he has SIDEHIL(L) and the R is in the bag, this loses (where he specifically drew DEHIILS, and then I draw FNPW after ANGLE, so I win on 395/396 of his racks, and then 4/5 of the time on that remaining rack when I draw the R, or 99.9494...% of the time)! (A)NGLO wins 100% of the time because it doesn't give back (ANGLE)R in that scenario, this would long-term be a great challenge for Macondo to solve.
>Seth_Lipkin: W 2H W..... +10 316
#note Seth instead does not have SIDEHILL and I draw the R. I think from his perspective, SIDEHILL may still be available in the pool (I had ADDFOPR here, so his rack was W plus 6 of EHIILNS, so if N is the tile in the bag, then the play is still alive from his perspective). If his rack was EHIILSW, I think (O)W has to be the play, and then hope I play FRAP in column N or something similarly suboptimal to bingo out with SIDEHIL(L) for 98 to win by 2. WANGLE just makes my life too easy by making the 1H spot so lucrative for me.
>Morris_Greenberg: ADDFOPR 1F FRAP +53 444
#note PROF is better, somehow missed it.
>Seth_Lipkin: EHIILNS N2 SHE +34 350
#note This is best, but (R)EISHI is an excellent gopik, maybe even a tupik.
>Morris_Greenberg: DDO J4 ODD +21 465
