#note worth it to not play this at 9G in order to not block the TARS lanes as much, and also to set up my N with upon.

#note I held BHISTIE and then realized that I phonied, only BHISTIE is valid.
I considered a lot this turn - R(E)V, exchanging, ORC, O5 ROC, and ORCS. ROC is cool but has lots of downsides - he wrecks me when he has a K or S or ?, which is somewhat often. I think he should burn the blank for 50 to block rocs and keep the scoring pressure on, and I'm pretty much dead at that point.
ORC and REV just don't accomplish enough to make me trust they can let me come back from my 150 point deficit - ORC's leave is shitty for hitting the lanes on this board (no vowels to play through), and REV partly blocks the M and O columns.
exchanging is fine, cause I need to bingo really fast if I want to get the 2-3 bingoes I'll need to win this game.
I ultimatley chose ORCS over exchanging because I always feel like quadrant control is the most important factor when you're up or down by a ton of points. ORCS opens the A column, which is otherwise not accessible. opening more space is great because it's hard to come back from 150 points if you're working with a smaller board space.
LRV kinda sucks, but I can definitely hit the O column with some vowel draws. I'm not convinced ORCS is best because LRV bingoes waaay less than RS or ORS or CORS, but I appreciated what it did for the board
