>Joshua_Sokol: AEELTWY H6 WYE +18 18
#note Just play LEEWAY. I was so close to playing it but I wanted to go for spread and an early bingo. I don't need to go straight for a bingo here.
>Randall_Thomas: CM 7G M.C +16 16
>Joshua_Sokol: ADELTUW 6F WA. +21 39
#note this was a bad case scenario, but still, I should just play LEEWAY.
>Randall_Thomas: III -III +0 16
>Joshua_Sokol: DEILPTU 8E DUP. +14 53
#note Oh my God. How did I miss AMPLITUDE? I looked at AMPUL for a while... Sheisse! Man that is so disappointing...
>Randall_Thomas: ?EGHINO J7 sHOEING +72 88
>Joshua_Sokol: EGILOST 13G LOG.IEST +76 129
#note could not remember if SHOEINGS* was valid. Good thing I didn't pull the trigger on LOGIEST/SHOEINGS*.
>Randall_Thomas: EKR H12 K.RE +39 127
>Joshua_Sokol: AAADEFY 12L DEAF +34 163
#note I blocked a huge Q play here.
>Randall_Thomas: AAQU 5C AQUA +31 158

>Randall_Thomas: BCDDEEU 15H .ROTISES +77 235
>Randall_Thomas: BCDDEEU -- -77 158
#note "hold"...
"why do I still not know this after 3 years??"
2 minutes later, he starts drawing courtesy tiles. I challenge because I don't like it and I don't want him to get free info from the bag. I can't believe I didn't instantly challenge this. In the next game he played and got away with GANDY# and TRILOBE#. Dictionary confusion for all!
>Joshua_Sokol: ABEINOY 3C O.AY +20 217
#note probably I9 YOB anyway. I just didn't want him to get an easy 7 that gives nothing back.
>Randall_Thomas: EIORSST 14A RESISTO. +72 230
#note only bingo. He could have missed this.
>Joshua_Sokol: BEEINRS 2F BE +23 240
#note oh no. I MISSED ANOTHER 9!!!! I also laid BI(R)E* down and almost played it. This 9 is completely unacceptable to miss.
>Randall_Thomas: ADILNN 1C INLAND +34 264
#note damn
>Joshua_Sokol: EIINRST 10D NITERI.S +60 300
#note 3rd missed 9 of the game. I give up.
>Randall_Thomas: ABOT A11 ABO.T +30 294
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AEINOZ N10 ZE..IN +70 370
#note he blocked ANOdIZE(R) for 128.
>Randall_Thomas: DEORT 15J RODE.T +27 321
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ACIJOT O7 JOTA +44 414
#note (H)IJACk gets me out of range, but this is better on spread.
>Randall_Thomas: EH 9I H.E +21 342
>Joshua_Sokol: ?CILOVV 8M CO. +5 419
#note suddenly I have to block PLUNGER/HOER or I might lose. Best block is apparently LO(O) instead of CO(O), since it saves CIVVy B7 for next turn. C12 CI(S) is the best play for spread, as it blocks (A)XMEN and other ways for Randall to score, but allows him to play PLUNGER and lose by at least 1 point. He could play PLUNGER and draw the X, and I will win by 2 points after playing VOLUMe B6. I don't know. I feel like he had a bigger chance of drawing the bingo than Quackle gives him credit for. I was very low on time when I played this and really hoped I was not missing another bingo he could have on column B. HOE was a phenomenal play, right as I expected to be too far ahead to lose.
>Randall_Thomas: EMNX 11A .XMEN +34 376
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ILLUVV 4A VIV. +20 439
#note thought this was wrong, but I didn't have any time left.
>Randall_Thomas: GPRU 7A PUR. +7 383
#note -20 to 13C UP, since I can actually stick him with the G after this.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?LLU G5 s...L. +23 462
#note He was also low on time, but I had to circle a blank. I need to play C11 (M)?L(S) and stick him with the G.
>Randall_Thomas: G D13 G. +3 386
#note one spot up!
>Randall_Thomas: (LU) +4 390
