#note can't believe I found this

>Jackson_Smylie: AIMP G3 PIMA +22 127
>Joshua_Sokol: EENORUV 15K ENURE +31 198
#note I felt that PIMA was a pretty harmless opening compared to row 15 at this point, but I was wrong. Jackson pulled a fast one on me, and I should have played H1 OVEN
>Jackson_Smylie: AFIW H1 WAIF +55 182
>Joshua_Sokol: LOOSSTV 10B VOLOSTS +104 302
#note and then OH MY GOD WHAT THE PLEWOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
>Jackson_Smylie: MO I6 MO. +19 201
>Joshua_Sokol: DIINQTU O10 INDIT. +9 311
#note I absolutely LOVE this play that I made. I also considered 11D ID to make another setup, but that one was more likely to get blocked, didn't get rid of two dangerous bingo lanes, and really was just not as big of a headache for Jackson. I guess QUINT was a really good leave though, which is a plus.
>Jackson_Smylie: AL N10 LA +10 211
>Joshua_Sokol: GILQRUV C7 VIG.R +15 326
#note 14H QU(AD) would be the play if I actually had more of a shot at a 50+ pointer on column 15 and if Jackson hadn't just played off LA, but it's still a cool idea.
>Jackson_Smylie: AAN 13I A..AN +25 236
>Joshua_Sokol: AABLNQU K4 AQUA. +39 365
#note I also saw N6 QABA(LA) and wanted to play it but this is definitely better, scoring more, not opening up another huge spot for Jackson who is more than 100 points down, and not retaining the U. K5 BLA(E) is also an option but I think at this point I should get rid of my Q, since Jackson already knows pretty certainly that I have it.
>Jackson_Smylie: G 14I G.. +10 246
>Joshua_Sokol: BGLNNRT 4J B.NG +14 379
#note but the only thing I was worried about at this time was not drawing a vowel. Now I can't score and the comeback route is wide open for Jackson should he choose to entertain it. I should have played L(A)RNT probably, which uses up the most consonants and keeps stuff to score decently with. I missed it though iirc, was not thinking to keep the BG
>Jackson_Smylie: ?IORRSS 15C tSORRIS +77 323
#note I hated this but he had ORRISeS and I thought I was still going to win.
>Joshua_Sokol: EEILNRT 2H .LIENER +18 397
#note Totally missed 14A TRIENE here, throwing so much winning chances out the window. This is good but scores 7 fewer and sets up a new improbably area for Jackson to get a comeback bingo. This was the beginning of an insane choke on my part.
>Jackson_Smylie: EL 7A LE. +6 329
>Joshua_Sokol: ?EEFOTU A4 FOU.Ed +36 433
#note and here you have it. At this point I feel outstanding. I drew the other blank and he has junk with nowhere to go. The only way I seem to lose is by playing a phony and missing something he might have.
And this is where I spot OUTFEE(L)s for 176.
I'm saying to myself "no way, this is too good to be true. Is OUTFEEL good? Is OUTFELT good? I don't like either all that much, but there is a good chance they are... but I can't afford to lose a turn here, can I? Maybe there is an 8 available through the L I don't know of. Ugh, I can't pull the trigger. I suck. Whatever, I'll just take the win."
>Jackson_Smylie: CEHNTUY - +0 329
#note now Jackson holds, and I'm thinking "I must have blocked something he had, this is a normal word and he's just holding because he's desperate. Good thing I didn't play OUTFEELS."
And he's recounting. Why is he doing that. Just give up, kid.
He says he's losing by 2 if he lets this go?
I have no clue what is going on, but I have just chickened out of a 3x3. He says the only chance he can win is if FOULED and OUTFEELS are not valid words. What? What is going on? Challenge?
>Joshua_Sokol: EET - +0 433
#note At this point he tells me he has CHUTNEY at D1 and I freeze.
What the fuck did I just do. What the fuck!!!! I can't believe I just talked myself out of a 3x3 and completely missed LEV-Y and Jackson's out bingo and still win. There is no way I deserve a turn here. "Pass."
Jackson is angry that I pass, but I won't let him lose this much spread. FOULED was a normal word and there is no way I should have ever under any circumstance played it in this situation. He doesn't deserve to lose by 150 here.
>Jackson_Smylie: CEHNTUY D1 CHUTNEY +96 425
>Jackson_Smylie: (EET) +6 431
#note And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what keeps me so far away from leaving this game and its community. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee--diculous!
