>Ted_Rosen: IQ 8G QI +22 22
>Sean_Wrona: EEILOPR 9D PERI +19 19
#note Must stop leaving more vowels than consonants. Even just dumping the E sims better than this, although there are some plays that sim better than this like LI/QI or PI/QI that don't make sense to me. LEI I like a lot in spite of the danger of putting an E there...

>Ted_Rosen: AGHOR E7 GH.RAO +20 42
>Sean_Wrona: CEELMOP D12 MOPE +26 45
#note Didn't know any of the words that simmed better (POMELO, COMPO, COELOME, COELOM), but COMPILE/PERIL is better than this even though it simmed worse (and it was slicker, and would have kept him from bingoing...)

>Sean_Wrona: AINNOOS F11 NOO +10 103
#note Didn't know NASION. I see why ONO is preferred over NOO. It actually takes an S, but NOO would certainly better if it didn't...

>Sean_Wrona: AADINNS G11 AND +20 123
#note Wow, I am really bad at identifying which words usually used as nouns are actually TWL verbs. I make those errors repeatedly and was surprised to see that enclave took a d. I don't care. I still like this better. Shutting down bingos on column L is stupid in my position. Of course, I'm shutting down row 10 bingos here and making row 14 bingos much harder, so I probably should go for points, which I might have had I thought of enclaved.

>Sean_Wrona: AAIINST M2 AN +19 169
#note Massive fail, and such an obvious one no less. Either ZIT or doing anything to dump the A and I... No idea what that was about, but I wish I could stop making such fundamental errors that I KNOW are wrong when I think about them.

>Ted_Rosen: AOTU 4B AUTO +10 231
>Sean_Wrona: ABIIIST 1M BIT +20 189
#note Once I saw TIPI on the list of possibilities before I began simming, I knew that was the play. That's how it goes for me. I look at the best plays and go "Oh duh, oh duh, oh duh..."

>Sean_Wrona: AEIIIKS 14B KI. +35 224
#note KEPI - same deal as TIPI last time. Of course I acknowledge that's better...

>Ted_Rosen: JT C3 J.T +20 280
>Sean_Wrona: AEIINOS 3G OI. +4 228
#note Is there anybody who would just take the points here with NISI leaving AEO (just like you're "supposed" to)? I would not feel comfortable with that at all. I know a fish like this is bad since it doesn't create a spot, but I think the OIs on row 13 and 15 (even though they sim better) are worse since they actively block spots through the D and E and through the D that I could actually use, and would pretty much shut down anything unless I drew an L. As it turned out, I DID draw the L, played TOENAILS on the next turn, but he also bingoed through the D and E, so as it turns out OI/OD is probably what I needed to do for what I draw, but I just can't imagine blocking most of the remaining lines unless I already had the L. I'm far more likely to draw an R than an L, and if I do, I haven't opened anything at all after any OI.
I suppose NISI can work out BECAUSE there are so many r's left and I could play something like ORRA/DO on the next turn but that isn't something I would even think of doing...
AGIO/BANI (had I found it) is totally the play I like...
6:06
>Ted_Rosen: ?ACDORT K7 .eCORAT.D +74 354
#note Nice find. Even in my thousands of online games, I STILL haven't found a disconnected 9 ever and it's one of the things that irks me most. Even more after Chris Lipe played another one against me later the same day...
>Sean_Wrona: AEILNOS O1 .OENAILS +77 305
#note I was a bit surprised that ISLED actually simmed slightly higher than TOENAILS (and also that ISLED was a word, even though I've seen all the 5s). I guess I get it. Leaving ano with all those e's and r's left means I'd have a fairly strong chance of drawing something that could hit either column N or O but wouldn't Ted just shut down that part of the board anyway? Yeah, he would. He doesn't choke as often as I have I would assume given his greater experience. I think I need to score now when the spot is still open and I could still get some big plays if I draw the S and/or X. I'm not sure anyone would actually say ISLED is the best play.
5:22
>Ted_Rosen: GIV 12J V.GI +16 370
>Sean_Wrona: BEERSTX 15F BEST +50 355
#note Hahaha, I saw BEST but missed BESTED, which would have put me down by only a point. I obviously need to play BESTED (the regular sim said BEST was the BEST play - what? Okay, I guess championship player is all that's valid at this point...yes, I already knew that.) Even if I don't draw a vowel, it would be hard for him to block both EX and XI.
Championship player gives me a 25% chance of winning, so that must mean drawing the E or the blank for REX/JUTE after BESTED is my only shot. Since I drew the N, the game was lost anyway. At least that pleases me. It technically wasn't a choke based on what I drew!
