#note 2018 NASC, game 6. 5-0 after a fortunate five-bingo fantasy at Table 1. let’s keep this momentum going at Table 2…don’t be tempted to start short; the score and the leave are worth it. also, talk to yourself more often during games to work things out. but do it in your mind so your opponent doesn’t hear you.

>crankish_darer: BEEHNT 10B BE. +20 20
>sneakyofverb: BDILNOP 11A BON.D +22 80
#note 9c BIPOD is way better. this habit of not seeing stuff may get me in trouble. or not. (spoiler alert: will definitely be a problem, but not until much later in the tourney when i really would’ve needed the focus to not suck.)
>crankish_darer: EHNPT 9C H.P +26 46
>sneakyofverb: AILNPSX 9G SALPINX +81 161
#note first thought: ”oh, cool, i have EXPLAINS." five seconds later: ”no, wait, i have a better play but i’m not gonna start it at 13d because that I looks scary."
>crankish_darer: AENORTV G1 RENOVAT.. +64 110
#note as good as that rack looks, that’s the only playable bingo.
>sneakyofverb: EFGLMRW F2 FEW +37 198
#note 4c REFLOW ditches more consonants, but FEW scores a couple more - and abates my top-row paranoia.
>crankish_darer: EKU 8M EUK +30 140
>sneakyofverb: EGGGLMR H1 EGG +32 230
#note take the points. leave the consonants.
>crankish_darer: AINU A11 .UNIA +24 164
>sneakyofverb: AAGLMRR 7I GRAAL +20 250
#note let's shut down some lanes and use enough tiles to get a better chance to draw some of the goodies.
>crankish_darer: RU 6M UR +15 179
>sneakyofverb: ?AAIMOR F6 MA. +23 273
#note grr, thanks for blocking the bingo through the K. now you’ve forced me to think about what i’m going to do. and i really hate thinking.
>crankish_darer: EIWY 5G .IEWY +28 207
>sneakyofverb: ?AILOQR -ILOQ +0 273
#note QOR(MA) is a word, you idiot. also, maybe throw back fewer tiles to decrease volatility. hey, take it easy on me - it’s my first game.

#note with AEILMRSV unseen, trying to kill any potential bingos to the T…while simultaneously allowing the possibility of SMEARIL(Y). i mean, what are the odds?
