>Jackson: AAEENRU H8 AURAE +12 12
#note EAU is okay, but against a weaker opponent I'm not a big fan of the volatile AENR leave... and EAU isn't a very nice board for bingoes.
>Trevor_Sealy: ?ADDEOU 12D MEGR. +16 16
>Trevor_Sealy: ?ADDEOU -- -16 0
>Jackson: ADENQUY 12D QUAY.D +38 50
#note other options, like aqu(a) or q(u)ay seemed pretty mediocre, and phonying after winning a challenge is always good!
>Trevor_Sealy: EGMORW 10C GROWE. +18 18
>Jackson: EENNOPT I6 NEEP +19 69
#note I considered PEN to set up the O, which could make a nicely board controling play. Still, ENOT isn't great here, and 5 points is good. I was also confident I could play SNEEP* later, and he definitely could play it as well.
>Trevor_Sealy: AGGMOT J2 MAGGOT +24 42
>Jackson: AEEKNOT I2 OKA +30 99
>Trevor_Sealy: OX J9 OX +30 72
>Jackson: BEEENRT H4 BE +16 115
>Trevor_Sealy: DEL 5J .ELD +12 84
>Jackson: EEILNRT 5A TREELIN. +66 181
>Trevor_Sealy: BDT D4 D.BT +14 98
>Jackson: CDHNRSU A5 .HUD +24 205
#note I missed CHU(R)N, which also looks good. CRUSH is a lot of points, but my position is good here so I would like to take out the T.
>Trevor_Sealy: CFINNOW 13C VITE +29 127
>Trevor_Sealy: CFINNOW -- -29 98
>Jackson: ACFNNRS 6F FAN..N +39 244
#note phony. I thought this might actually be good!
>Trevor_Sealy: EIPV B1 VIPE. +20 118
>Jackson: ?CINRSY 1A I.Y +27 271
#note SCRYINg! also SYNdR(OM)IC! this isn't much worse, and takes out the occasional triple triple
>Trevor_Sealy: ITT 13C TIT +19 137
>Jackson: ?CNRRSV -NRV +0 271
#note missed (KA)RNS, but I would like to go for spread. slightly vowel heavy, making CRS a bit better...
>Trevor_Sealy: EO 11J OE +14 151
>Jackson: ?ACJRRS L2 JAR. +22 293
#note more spread grabbing
>Trevor_Sealy: MO M2 OM +25 176
>Jackson: ?CIRRSW N2 WIS +43 336
>Trevor_Sealy: ?EIISTZ O3 SIZIEsT +107 283
>Jackson: ?ACFORR 12K FRO +17 353
#note considered R(IF)F and F(I)AR as well, among other plays like FOR/FORA in the same spot as FRO that I quickly discounted (O is a worse lane for him to work with, only takes E hook, etc.). FRO leaves the marginal lane through the O, as well as the 14 row, which often will give me some sort of comeback. For that reason, I wonder if a play like ROC 12k is good, because on top of limiting bingoes even more, the F is a better tile for parallel comebacks than the C. FIAR and RIFF are tempting, FIAR because it both goes for a bingo of my own and outruns a lot of bingoes he gets (all bingoes give back a TWS in some capacity). RIFF is a more extreme, version, the extra vowel helping me his the 3 lanes which each require starting in a vowel. I ended up choosing FRO because it best balanced everything, sometimes bingoing myself while also defending and outrunning a fair amount of bingoes. It wins a 2 ply sim.
>Trevor_Sealy: CIS 1M SIC +27 310
>Jackson: ?ACELNR M7 AmELC.RN +72 425
#note saw the only two bingoes, amelcorn and falconer! figured even the biggest bingoes on the 15 row still get outrun (actually inhauls is the only 7 that fits with amelcorns, which is still a win for me). Q has fishing the N as winning 100% too, but over the board I'm more comfortable taking this safer option.
>Trevor_Sealy: AHLNOSU - +0 310
>Jackson: AV F8 VA. +9 434
#note missing (N)AV for 12
>Jackson: (HILNOSU) +20 454
