>Joshua_Sokol: AAEIILR 8D AALII +12 12
#note could exchange AI but that's too variant for me here. Interesting that the 8E placement is better if it wasn't for the 2 points it gave up.
>Jeffrey_Nelson: CFU G6 CU.F +14 14
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AELRRU 10G sURREAL +67 79
>Jeffrey_Nelson: DMN L9 D.MN +14 28
>Joshua_Sokol: EEOSTTV 9C VET +14 93
#note hmm, VOTE there is probably better, no need to keep the extra vowel or give back some 2x2s.
>Jeffrey_Nelson: AEELSTT J7 ALE.TEST +60 88
#note 6C TELE(C)AST scores some more but doesn't keep the board as open
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEOOST M9 O.EO +15 108
#note keeping that extra vowel was not good after all
>Jeffrey_Nelson: GJU K5 JUG +25 113
>Joshua_Sokol: CEEHIST 14C TECHIES. +71 179
#note saw all options, hooray. Took me a while to see the anagram of TECHIEST though. And after 17 rounds I was not even going to play TECHIES, a word I would never hesitate to play in any other context other than playing against Nigel. This looked better than ES(T)HETIC for 76 because look at the free space around that first E
>Jeffrey_Nelson: APY 15A PYA +26 139
>Joshua_Sokol: ?DDEGNW H12 WE.D +36 215
#note it's highly likely that I missed WEDDING here. I don't remember looking for a bingo with these tiles. Weird. Seems worth playing.
>Jeffrey_Nelson: AGIOSTU N3 AGOUTIS +64 203
>Joshua_Sokol: ?ADEFGN O8 DEFANGs +100 315
>Jeffrey_Nelson: EILNORT 3H ORIENT.L +68 271
>Joshua_Sokol: ABDNOPS 2H BOP +29 344
#note Quackle prefers DO(O)B, but I'll tell you a secret: Quackle doesn't even burn. I realized a bit late that this left a big X spot, so DO(O)B is probably fine
>Jeffrey_Nelson: EHO L1 HO.E +22 293
>Joshua_Sokol: ADNORSX 4G OX +37 381
#note OXNARDS*
Quackle likes RAX here, lots of consonants left and defense, however if I draw the Q I might get stuck down the line, so perhaps OX is better
>Jeffrey_Nelson: AEZ 1L .AZE +48 341
>Joshua_Sokol: ADNNRSY D11 DYN.S +30 411
#note no need to hold on to the S here, just score and balance and win, I have two spots for the Q if I draw it.
>Jeffrey_Nelson: IQ 14M QI. +22 363
>Joshua_Sokol: AIKNORW 7E WA.K +25 436
#note Quackle likes K5 (JUG)A. Not sure I buy it, but I guess I keep scoring plays for under QIS as well as WI(C)K 6E
>Jeffrey_Nelson: BIIMNRV 15L VIN +23 386
#note best endgame by far
>Joshua_Sokol: INORR I12 OR. +14 450
#note I was trying to trick him here, but he has a few counter-tricks of his own, so O3 (L)ORN, the obvious play, is 2 points better. But I believe this put him over time, so +8
>Jeffrey_Nelson: BIMR 12C M. +7 393
#note he sees I am keeping IN for IN(BOX) if he plays MIB F2, so smartly blocks my only out and keeps RIB for next turn.
>Joshua_Sokol: INR O3 .IN +10 460
#note 12A RI(MY) is best, this allows him to stick me with the R, which I saw, but once again hoped to trick him with. Luckily this time, he was too far over time to calculate precisely.
>Jeffrey_Nelson: BIR F2 RIB +19 412
#note -3 to M1 (A)R(T) to block my only out play
>Jeffrey_Nelson: (R) +2 414
#note -10 for time on Jeffrey's end
