>evans_clinchy: ?DDIKTV 8G KID +16 16
#note Fascinating - burning the blank for KIDVID sims better. Quackle says I actually score more on average next turn after KIDVID than just KID, which is bizarre since I'm losing the blank. The DTV? leave is pretty dreadful - it's barely 20 percent to bingo, which is almost as low as it gets with a blank early in the game.
>orlet_bullock: NOTTVWY 9C TOWNY +29 29
>evans_clinchy: ?DGLRTV D7 VL.G +9 25
#note *shrug*
>orlet_bullock: EIOOTUV 10B VO. +17 46
>evans_clinchy: ?ADHRTT 7H HAT +16 41
#note Lots of possibilities here, not sure. This is decent; another good idea is TAD, which limits his options and retains the H for scoring if I can't bingo next turn.
>orlet_bullock: ?CEIOTU K3 CUTIE +21 67
>evans_clinchy: ?ADIRST L7 DRASTIc +75 116
#note Um, slide it up one, it's more points. Dummy.
>orlet_bullock: ?BCELNO 11E BaLCONE. +94 161
>evans_clinchy: AAIILMZ 12A ZAMIA +56 172
#note I thought for a long, long time about AMIA, but I just couldn't justify it. Sacrificing 40 points for a setup is too risky when the setup is easy to block. Woulda been fun, though. Man.
>orlet_bullock: AEEORRX A12 .ERO +39 200
>evans_clinchy: FGILSST 14J FISTS +40 212
#note Looks like FIGS 6F is a little better here. I can see that. Doesn't expose me to the big counterplays that FISTS does, and saves the S hook for later when I might bingo. LST is an especially good leave when the bag is loaded with E's.
>orlet_bullock: AEEFRSX H11 .AREX +45 245
>evans_clinchy: EGLLOPR 4I PL.G +14 226
#note Ugh, I dunno. My thinking was I needed to bingo, and PLUG kept a workable leave and opened a spot for a seven ending in E. That's pretty weak. My bingo chances aren't great no matter what; the sim says I should go ahead and score more points. GLEI 6H looks strong. It scores the most, plus keeps the C and U open for eights. LOPR is an okay leave when, again, the bag's still got lots of E's and other vowels.
>orlet_bullock: AEEEFRS 8L .EEF +21 266
>evans_clinchy: ELOPRUY 6F YUP +24 250
#note YORK 13C for 39 was just a miss. I'm starting to get low on time at this point, just wanted to slap down anything that looked reasonable. ROPERY for 38 is also there. Ick.
>orlet_bullock: AEIIMRS 15M AIM +19 285
>evans_clinchy: DELNORT N2 RONDEL.T +72 322
#note phew so lucky
>orlet_bullock: DEGIJRS 3M J.G +22 307
>evans_clinchy: ABEENNO O1 BE.O +29 351
>orlet_bullock: DEIORSU 3H OU +8 315
>evans_clinchy: AEINNOR 2H ION +12 363
#note Blocking his opening, and keeping a strong leave so I can pounce if he tries to open again. Pretty sure this is best.
>orlet_bullock: DEIQRSU F2 QUER. +37 352
>evans_clinchy: AEHINRW 4A WAHIN. +32 395
#note This is 100 percent, but CP says the better option for spread is WINS 10I, keeping the H to score with in the endgame. Hmm, I guess.
>orlet_bullock: AADEEIS A1 DEA.IE +30 382
>evans_clinchy: ENR B6 ERN +9 404
#note Oops, low on time, missed some stuff. At least this wins.
