#player1 Jason Jason
#player2 Josh Josh
>Jason: BDEGU 8D BUDGE +24 24
>Josh: DEIORRS D3 DISRO.ER +72 72
#note didn't see BROIDERS, which would have prompted me to play DISROBER much faster. Also saw SORDIDER# rather than DISORDER until I hit the clock
>Jason: EHMNU C9 MENU +18 42
>Josh: ?AEITUX H8 .UTAXIEs +116 188
>Jason: EHNOR B10 HONER +50 92
>Josh: ABEIIOP C3 OBIA +26 214
>Jason: ADMNOOT 15F MA.TODON +61 153
#note I knew with 100% certainty, even before he drew his replacement tiles after HONER, that Jason was going to bingo this turn. Patterns, bro
>Josh: AEEIIPW 14J WIPE +39 253
>Jason: AI I11 AI +13 166
>Josh: AEFIKSV 13K KAF +45 298
#note I just drew FKSV to AEI guys, and this was a spread play
>Jason: EEILRSY F4 YIEL.ERS +66 232
>Josh: AEIILSV B6 VIE +28 326
#note VIE seemed better than VIA because of the variance associated with leaving a hotspot for ZA or AZO, but they are close, since EILS is so much more likely to lead to a bingo than AILS
>Jason: ALW A7 AWL +35 267
#note I was on extreme tilt for the remainder of the game, as he didn't have AWL after VIA and I didn't have a dead rack
>Josh: AILNORS D12 NORI +16 342
#note I literally chose this over D12 NOIL to give me a spot for ASC(I) if I drew a C next turn. Quackle likes 14F OL(E) on a short sim, and NOIL. Keeping two vowels is useful here given what remains
>Jason: CGJQ -CGJQ +0 267
>Josh: ACELOST I2 LOCATES +71 413
#note Still on massive tilt, I realize the impending threat and somehow don't make the link between the threat and where I should put my bingo. The mind is a weird thing. Quackle likes N7 the least out of the three spots to put LOCATES, but that means absolutely nothing here. Absolutely. Nothing. You hear that, MeHill? Zilch.
>Jason: T 15F ........T +11 278
#note Oh, he did exactly what I thought he would do again
>Josh: ADIJNTZ A13 TAJ +34 447
#note I figure I can win even if he bingos once hooking MASTODONT, unless I set up a big second spot to bingo, so I didn't want to play this at H1 for 7 more.
>Jason: FNQV -FNQV +0 278
>Josh: DEHINTZ 4I .HINTZ +40 487
#note Figured a good chance he threw the Y back, but even so I knew this was a horrible play. Horrible. Tilt at its finest. 3H D(O)ZENTH outruns even PLAQUES + COY?, NOY? and ORY? draws which force me to block O1 _OsY/(DOZENTH)s plays. I missed DOZENTH
>Jason: CNOY O1 CONY +67 345
#note instead Jason can leave one in the bag and score 70 points, putting me at risk of losing to a bingo down the same column
>Josh: ADEELPV N2 LA.ED +44 531
#note 3B P(OD) is the best play. I considered fishing the V, not the P, which is around 27 points back. I had had enough of this game.
>Jason: ?FGGQSU O11 QUaGS +81 426
#note Jason too, who loses 33 points in the endgame from mistracking. He should play K3 G(I)F or F(I)G to save QUaGS/MASTODONTS for next turn, unblockable.
>Josh: EPRV K3 V.PER +20 551
#note I noted that if Jason had played the endgame correctly, our total score would have been exactly 1000.
If instead, I had played P(OD), I would have drawn unblockable bingos from 10H, M4 and E2, and once Jason realized this and played QUaGS, our total score would have been only 998.
>Josh: (FG) +12 563
