>Eric_Tran: ??ADEIT 8G jADEITe +64 64
#note How long do you take here, and what do you play? I took 5 minutes, and decided on JADEITE: reasoning: The J seals the topleft of the board. Even after cheating and looking at a full list of bingoes, I think I still like JADEITE.
>Matthew_Larocque: BBEIMTX K5 BEM.XT +34 34
#note IMBIBE is a funny word. I was trying to decide whether to withhold the T here, or play to the T instead. It's pretty close.
>Eric_Tran: EKNSUUV 6I UK. +17 81
>Matthew_Larocque: BEEEIOT 9G OBE +17 51
#note Missed BOITE.
>Eric_Tran: EINSSUV M2 NIVEUS.S +74 155
#note Eh. It's not even spelled correctly! Oh well. The word was familiar but I didn't know what it meant. In retrospect, I should have considered that the board was starting to get crappy and a challenge might not hurt me too bad.
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIILNT 10I LI.E +10 61
#note L8 (T)I in the sim. I checked EEILNT? and it does have a lot of bingos that can play to jO, but still. I try not to make one tile fishes unless I have a really strong leave like retina/tisane/satire.
>Eric_Tran: ACHRRST 2J CHA.T +32 187
#note Sim likes H6 CRAB a lot more. Didn't see it. Need to abide by my mantra of "think of hooks when a word is played"
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEINRT 11C ARENITE +69 130
>Eric_Tran: NRRRSUZ H11 .URN +5 192
#note Ruh roh.
>Matthew_Larocque: AAFOOOY D11 .OOFY +30 160
>Matthew_Larocque: AAFOOOY -- -30 130
#note I knew this was no good... I really should refrain from playing short phonies against players who are assuredly going to challenge them off.
>Eric_Tran: JLRRSUZ 15F JUS +45 237
#note Sim likes JARL. It's even stronger than sim suggests, because I know Matt doesn't have an S. But instead I convinced myself I should go for the sure points.
>Matthew_Larocque: AAFOOOY D9 FO.AY +22 152
#note I guess I should leave these letters open, but then do I just exchange here?
>Eric_Tran: EGILRRZ 10C L.RE +14 251
#note blah. horrible. horrible. ZORI.
>Matthew_Larocque: AADDEOT C13 ADO +18 170
#note DOATED. That's really the only good play here, but I whiffed DUKE the entire game.
>Eric_Tran: GIIORYZ B13 GOY +32 283
#note Completely blanked out on CHANTY. I thought of it after I dumped my Y. Again, need to follow mantra of thinking of hooks.
>Matthew_Larocque: ACDERTW E8 WA..D +17 187
#note This doesn't really accomplish anything, being blind to DUKE just kills me. WARTED and TRACED.
>Eric_Tran: IIOQRSZ L1 Z. +21 304
#note (T)I(E)R to set up QIS is brilliant. My play is better bad.
>Matthew_Larocque: CEGRTTV -CGRTV +0 187
#note I dunno, I kept a T because there's none left in the bag as opposed to 2 unseen Rs.
>Eric_Tran: IILOQRS -IILOQ +0 304
>Matthew_Larocque: EEIIIPT N6 PI +22 209
#note What else do I do, another exchange?
>Eric_Tran: DLNOORS O5 RONDO +26 330
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEEGIT J1 I.E +5 214
#note I need some hooks...
>Eric_Tran: CHFLNSV 1H CH. +24 354
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEEGTW 3H EW. +10 224
#note ETW(E)E never even thought of that.
>Eric_Tran: FLLNNSV H1 .L.F +13 367
#note 12 in the bag. Wanted to block the dangerous line. Should just exchange here though; might fall into a situation where I draw two more consonants, and be helpless.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEEGIMT 1N EM +14 238
#note Sim is saying just grab some points, I guess I'm too behind for a bingo to make any difference anyways.
>Eric_Tran: LNNRRSV -LNNRV +0 367
#note Luckily, there are enough tiles to exchange here.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEGIOOT 4L O.A +12 250
#note Really, just shoot me already.
>Eric_Tran: AIIQRST 5E QATS +36 403
>Matthew_Larocque: EGIOT 6F GO +16 266
>Eric_Tran: GIIPRRV 13G P.IG +11 414
>Matthew_Larocque: AEILNNT 12J ANILE +13 279
#note LENTI(GO) is too cool. Or even LATI(GO). (E)NTAIL would have still been much better than this.
>Eric_Tran: IRRV N10 VI.R +15 429
>Matthew_Larocque: NT N1 ..N. +6 285
#note (JUS)T. I went way over on time here..... thankfully this is only one of a couple of rough games I had in Calgary.
>Eric_Tran: R 14A R.. +4 433
>Eric_Tran: (T) +2 435 |
