>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEEJOT H3 EJECTOr +96 96
#note easy peasy right? Wrong, I'm playing against Joel here
>Joel_Sherman: AIUVX 3H .XUVIA +48 48
>Joshua_Sokol: EFGORWZ 4L FROW +40 136
#note unsure of REJECTOR, ZERO is 58 points so slightly better than this
>Joel_Sherman: CDOP 5E COP.D +20 68
>Joshua_Sokol: EGNNOUZ 6H .OZEN +39 175
>Joel_Sherman: AGLT N2 GL.AT +33 101
>Joshua_Sokol: EEGGNSU O6 EGG +17 192
#note close again between playing long and playing short, benefits to GUNGES and SEGUE as well hooking EJECTOR.
>Joel_Sherman: INRS D2 RINS +19 120
>Joshua_Sokol: EENOSSU 10H SUE +21 213
#note RINS made me think, does he actually have a B? I thought so much that I just flat out missed my bingo here.
>Joel_Sherman: ABENRST F2 BAR.NETS +68 188
#note biggest wtf moment of the tournament for me, instead of playing for 96 he plays for 68 and blocks all of my bingos. I was so exhausted that I figured that BRINS was just not a word and I was making that up, and he played RINS knowing there were no G's left to hook.
>Joshua_Sokol: DEINOPS 3C P. +8 221
#note weak, doesn't score enough. Should play something else like PO or PI in the same spot, or DIPNE(T) even.
>Joel_Sherman: AHLY 11J HYLA +25 213
>Joshua_Sokol: DEHINOS I2 E.O..I +27 248
#note another tough spot, but I realized that this was a very good play. Sets up my H, scores well, keeps OK considering there are lots of vowels unseen, and hey, maybe he was going to play the exact same thing!
>Joel_Sherman: EIOU 2B OU.E.I +20 233
#note indeed that was what Joel was about to play. He was beside himself that I blocked his play, and thought he didn't have any play anymore, except he spotted another one. Also, he mentioned to me that I probably had options instead of EXODOI, which was true. This was a fun time, but it was short-lived.
>Joshua_Sokol: BDHINST J1 BH.T +40 288
#note better than H(U)B because this "better" leave isn't useful on this board
>Joel_Sherman: AADDERV 7H ..ARA +20 253
>Joshua_Sokol: DDEIMNS L9 MI.D +14 302
#note really tough move. DI(A)DEM might be correct. I missed it. But this is not bad either.
>Joel_Sherman: IQ 1G QI +44 297
>Joshua_Sokol: DELMNSW 1A ELD +20 322
#note perhaps just W(E)N. I was burning some time here. No clue what was best. This seems like a mistake since I'm trying to counter a bingo on his end. This does a piss-poor job at that and I don't know why I settled on it. Fuck.
>Joel_Sherman: AEENRTT E9 ENTREAT +66 363
>Joshua_Sokol: DMNOSUW 12C WO.D +16 338
#note almost every move this game has been excruciatingly difficult. That's what happens when you play Joel usually. I love it.
>Joel_Sherman: IKV 14B KIV. +22 385
>Joshua_Sokol: FMNNSUY M8 MY +22 360
#note no idea how to steal this game at this point. Quite a disappointing loss, as I always seem to lose games where I open with almost-100-point bingos. See my last two games vs. Carl Johnson.
>Joel_Sherman: ?AEILOR 15E .AILOREd +71 456
#note I couldn't see TRIAzOLE. Joel saw it but was unsure if it was only THIAZOLE
>Joel_Sherman: (AFINNSU) +20 476
