>jeff_cook: BCDEIRS 8C SCRIBED +80 80
#note literally everyone this tournament opened with a bingo against me. come on i'm trying to cash
>cesar: CDHLORS F3 CHLOR.DS +68 68
#note a reasonably clutch find, whilst in the throes of steam/tilt.
>jeff_cook: BNORTUW 6D BR.WNOUT +65 145
#note ::retells the WINDSTORM story::
>cesar: AGIIOPT 3B TOPI. +18 86
#note he wouldn't even do me the common courtesy of giving me the N to bingo through. unfortunately, i'm out of ideas for phonies to try against 1700+ players. i should do better than this. it's important to go for equity here. B8 AGIO was spotted immediately, and i considered it. i didn't like that it gave up an easy lane for him to score a bunch of points, but it does at least open that part of the board, and maybe he won't hit it. i also keep a good leave. TOPI(C) doesn't keep a good leave, about all it does is set up my A, and there's 8 of them out, and he'll probably see the hook. i don't know. if i had seen PITHOI i would play it, and i looked. -7
>jeff_cook: IN 8A IN....... +42 187
#note god why would he play SCRIBED like that
>cesar: AGINNOU A1 GUANIN +34 120
#note oh no. cesar, KEEP A GOOD LEAVE, YOU NEED TO BINGO ASAP. why am i turning over one more tile to keep a stupid O instead of playing GUANO? i'm never going to learn to play this dumb game. -5
>jeff_cook: IPXY 7J PIXY +26 213
>cesar: AAELORY D8 .OALY +20 140
#note after he blocked ALEATORY, i know nothing else but pain and misery. gone are the halcyon days of yore, when i mirthfully played scrabble for "fun" and "camaraderie". i exist only to consume the souls of the damned. i considered 4C YA but i wasn't excited enough about AELOR. the bag has about even vowel/consonant ratio, a few more consonants, but i don't see a path to victory if i play YA. i guess i don't see one for COALY either since i'm making the bottom left of the board ugly. indeed COALY blocks stuff and makes me less likely to bingo.. nice job. -5.5
>jeff_cook: DOUW 11A WOU.D +18 231
>cesar: AAEEIMR H1 REMAI. +27 167
#note why can't i find airmen.. . i donkey kong. name 4A is best? why? screw you quackle. -4
>jeff_cook: EJNS B10 J.NES +56 287
>cesar: AAAEELZ 10F .LEAZE +35 202
#note lol, he blocked zoaeaeae and now i lose, azalea is probably better at 4h.
>jeff_cook: GMO I2 MOG +19 306
>cesar: AAEEHOR 11J AHA +33 235
#note i sacrificed the extra two pts vs AAH so i could make it easier to open. so quackle is wrong about its -2
>jeff_cook: FNU A13 FUN +25 331
>cesar: EEEIORT C13 TEE +21 256
#note how could there be so many vowels in the bag. 8K TIE is nice. i suck. -1.5
>jeff_cook: KL 15C .LK +8 339
>cesar: DEEIIOR 3H ..IDORE +20 276
#note now or never
>jeff_cook: ?EQT L1 Qu.TE +46 385
#note lol
>cesar: ?AAEEIR L11 .REA +8 284
#note maybe 12D YEA. ideal if it could leave 1 in the bag, maybe that's why i discarded it. gg. i have no idea what to do here as i only win if he plays a phony twice in a row or something
>jeff_cook: EFISV 15H FIVES +42 427
>cesar: ?AAEITV O1 VIsTA +34 318
#note what a disaster. -5
