>Samuel_Kaplan: AAHINOS 8H OHIA +14 14
#note My play, 8F OHIA, and HAO all sim close. I like my play to get a nice score with my S. HAO can be paralleled very easily in my opinion. Too bad I wasn't 2nd, I would have hoped for a P for APHONIAS or an M for MAHONIAS.
>Rob_Goetz: AEEILRT H5 AER.LITE +59 59
#note Interesting play here. 9I ATELIER is 10 more. 10 points is a lot to sacrifice but I can understand the safer play though. ATELIER would have given back a lot more.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAGNORS L2 ANGORAS +77 91
#note I debated this turn for a while. While it might not be great to leave an E open like that, there is another E just as wide open. My play opens up 2 hotspots whereas the 13B placement opens up 1. This is tied for best play.
>Rob_Goetz: CEEP 2J PE.CE +30 89
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADDEIOV 12D VOID.D +22 113
#note There were only 4 As unseen at this point so I figured it might be worth it to set up mine. Knowing that Rob just played off CEEP, I didn't think an A was within his range. At the same time, 1F VIDEO is best play. 1st mistake this game.
>Rob_Goetz: CKP 5K P.CK +24 113
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEEESW G5 AWE +17 130
#note AWE could have been played at C12 for 9 more, although that has plenty of disaster potential as he was keeping more consonants after POCK. He could have also kept another E after PEACE the previous turn.
>Rob_Goetz: AGJ C11 JAG +34 147
#note He would have scored no matter what.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEESST O5 SETAE +28 158
#note There we go! This play is best. This is where we gotta be aggressive. In case you were wondering, SPOCK* is not good. Other Star Trek characters can be given a shoutout, but not him.
>Rob_Goetz: LUU 1H ULU +13 160
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ELRRST 10E TRa.LERS +61 219
#note *Facepalm* RuSTLER 14A is the play.
>Rob_Goetz: ?BENNOW 2B NEWBOrN +78 238
#note Nice find by Rob! This is the only 7 in this rack.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EGQRRSV C1 V.RGE +18 237
#note 5th best play. Debated this, exchanging GQRV, and VERGER in the same spot. Seeing I had the last 2 Rs, I wanted a play that would keep 1 of them. I feel that Quackle is crazy by putting VERGERS as the 2nd best play when I have the last S.
>Rob_Goetz: EHI 1A HI.E +41 279
>Samuel_Kaplan: IILQRSU J6 QU.R. +34 271
#note 2nd best play. I needed to keep Column N and Row 13 open. I felt strongly that J6 (S)QUIRL would lead to those lanes being taken out, hence a game losing play.
>Rob_Goetz: ADIMNOT N9 MANTOID +78 357
#note Accepting this phony was a game losing play though. I guess I mixed up MATTOID and MANTID.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AFIILMS D4 IF +21 292
#note 2nd best play. The S was very important to hang on to for the JAGS hook though. Quackle says 15L FI(D)S is best play but I disagree.
>Rob_Goetz: FOX 13M F.X +26 383
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIIILMS 14B ISM +22 314
#note MIDI would have been the play here. I suck.
>Rob_Goetz: BEY F5 BEY +29 412
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIILNTU 15D UNLIT +23 337
#note Tied for 5th. This game was already lost.
>Rob_Goetz: DNOOTYZ N1 Z.D +13 425
>Samuel_Kaplan: AIO 1N .A +33 370
>Rob_Goetz: NOOTY 15L TO.Y +27 452
>Samuel_Kaplan: IO N5 .OI +15 385
#note Decent out play. Not the best game I've played. I just have to learn to see higher scoring plays sometimes. Letting the phony go was the death blow.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (NO) +4 389
