#note keep N only? I auto-piloted this but I'm not sure.

#note just AZO was what I was expecting, looks best. Anything that doesn't float an E really

#note I thought IMPOTENT took an S so I didn't want to play it, otherwise it would be clearly better to float less letter

#note this seemed like a good time to exchange, I don't think anything else except (N)O(Y)AU would be better, however if he does have a hook to DOW I bet he can just slowplay and play through the U, but I guess it's a tough decision to mmake.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EILSX 15F SILEX +44 258
>Joshua_Sokol: AEMOORS 14I MO.E. +27 266
#note The case S is worth a ton here. Is it worth 14? I think it is. (g)OAS can come down often for 31 whenever but also I can make tons of setups later on. Quackle likes MO(N)E(Y) even without calculating the hosts of setups I can make in future turns.

#note Matthew was in time trouble, I was playing fast.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EFI 4L FIE. +20 293
>Joshua_Sokol: AANOORS 3L OAR +17 311
#note N2 AR(E)NA might be good here. Cuts a lot of things off and scores decently. I can fix my leave if necessary later. I almost played ROAN instead of OAR. I think OAR is better
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EOPR 2K PORE +27 320
>Joshua_Sokol: AGNOQRS -Q +0 311
#note so how am I going to play off my Q if there is only TUI to draw to be able to do so? If I don't get rid of the Q now I can't get rid of it later. So I decided to fish, but I forgot that he would have to put a letter atop OOF to give me a lane. OOFS#. This changes things, but I think I need to do this anyway. Quackle really prefers NOG 1J. I can obviously use row 5 whenever now, but I need to draw something specific to play off the Q. I guess Matthew may very well open up a spot for it though. This is really tough. How likely is he to try not to open up a spot for the Q, banking on sticking me since he doesn't have the case S? And how likely am I to be able to play off the Q anyway? I guess I overestimated the likelihoods I would end up Q stuck.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AGKU 1H KAGU +31 351
>Joshua_Sokol: AGNORST 7F G... +11 322
#note I guess only 3 tiles would have given me a bingo here. This is now my attempt to Q-stick Matthew.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AACV 2E CAVA +17 368
>Joshua_Sokol: AENORST - +0 322
#note solve this.
solve this and I might love you.
attempting a pass here, but he can just pass back. If he doesn't pass back he has the Q.
then I might play (A)A or something. Am I giving him too much? Should I play (CARBO)N now? or (MONEY)S? Should I start the Q-stick endgame? He was low on time, I thought I was in great shape here. All of the plays that go for bingos fail here because of what's in the pool or how he can respond. If I play O(H) C10 he plays D(O)L setting up I(DOL). Note that this is all knowing EE is in the bag. He is definitely threatening to outscore me with (MONEY)ER or L8 (A)ER(I)E so maybe now is the time to to (g)OAS and block those two threats.
Here I was hoping he would think he is toast if I initiate the Q-stick so he would play Q(A)ID or Q(A)DI and give me an out-bingo. Too hopeful? Not sure.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DILOQRR 1N DO +14 382
>Joshua_Sokol: AENORST 13B .....N +15 337
#note I totally missed MONEYER, but almost played (g)OAS which loses by 8 after perfect play. But note Matthew had 30 seconds left. I should just play fast.
