#player2 Josh_Sokol Josh Sokol
>Jon_Shreve: AAEHNY 8C HYAENA +32 32
>Josh_Sokol: AEFORSV 7D OF +15 15
#note OAF is 8 more points. Absolutely worth it here. Didn't even consider that play.
>Jon_Shreve: BMO 9F MOB +19 51
>Josh_Sokol: AEFRSTV 7D ..F +17 32
>Jon_Shreve: DISS I6 DISS +29 80
>Josh_Sokol: AERSTUV 10E VERA +28 60
>Jon_Shreve: ADEEIT H1 IDEATE +27 107
>Josh_Sokol: IORSTUV 1A VIRTUOS. +86 146
>Jon_Shreve: AHN J4 NAH +29 136
>Josh_Sokol: EGOOTUZ K1 TOGUE +18 164
#note This allows me to hit a bunch of different possible Z plays while neutralizing one of the case S hooks on the board. It wins a sim handily
>Jon_Shreve: EINW 1K .WINE +36 172
>Josh_Sokol: EEIINOZ 3C IONIZ. +50 214
#note too bad Jon didn't donate a D for DEIONIZE!
>Jon_Shreve: LL B1 .LL +22 194
>Josh_Sokol: CDEEGTU C7 C.UG +29 243
>Jon_Shreve: ?AEINPT 11H sPINATE +71 265
#note SPINATE doesn't take a hook, but sets up many different scoring spots that I will have first dibs on, so in this case it's best to play SAPIENT.
>Josh_Sokol: DEEEORT 12J TEREDO +29 272
#note This and ERODE in the same spot still set up an X for X(ED), but they eliminate as much of the threat as I can manage while still holding onto my minuscule lead. Although 4 fewer, ERODE is winning the sim by a point. Possibly a better play given the ET synergy and the likelihood of drawing QAT
>Jon_Shreve: RRY N10 R..RY +22 287
>Josh_Sokol: ABEKOUX 10J KOB +44 316
#note Keeping the B for BE(D)U 2F was tempting, but it's not worth it. I need to score now and then score with my X next turn. The B just gets in my way
>Jon_Shreve: ETW 4D WET +26 313
#note it was at this point that I was the most confident that I would win this game.
>Josh_Sokol: AACEGUX O7 CAGE +23 339
#note I don't need my X here. I should just play it at 2N or O8. I did want to get rid of the lanes on the top left here which is why I played CAGE but looking back I should have just done away with my X as well.
>Jon_Shreve: AM 13L MA. +24 337
>Josh_Sokol: ADNPRUX O14 AX +32 371
#note Let's hope he doesn't have JOLLIES or something else. This seemed to be better than 2N AX not only for the extra point but also because it blocks stuff like (O)LEO in the endgame and leaves me somewhere to dump my consonants.
>Jon_Shreve: ?EILLOQ 14J QIs +39 376
>Josh_Sokol: DJNPRSU 2J J. +25 396
#note I didn't see his outplays. OLLIE plays with ABASE as well.
>Jon_Shreve: EILLO N1 .IELLO +16 392
#note When this came down it was absolutely crushing, because I hadn't seen it or his other outplay, so I thought I was winning. Turns out drawing the I after QIs was key, otherwise I win.
>Jon_Shreve: (UNDSPR) +18 410
#note My first play was a mistake, and then TEREDO and CAGE were questionable. Still, this defeat will leave a bad taste in my mouth for quite some time.
