>Mike_Ebanks: FITW 8G WIFT +20 20
>Mike_Ebanks: FITW -- -20 0
#note By this point, I had sorted out WIFTY/WIFT* WISTY*/WIST.
>Matthew_Larocque: DEILNPT 8G DIPT +14 14
#note I was trying to avoid plays that started with PI because DI prevents him from playing something with IF. Still, ELN is pretty meh.
>Mike_Ebanks: FITW J5 TWI. +15 15
>Matthew_Larocque: AEELNOV K4 VOE +21 35
#note VOLAN(T)E. Maybe even NOVAE is better than this.
>Mike_Ebanks: DEFNN H7 F.NNED +12 27
>Matthew_Larocque: AAEGLNN I11 NAG +11 46
#note AELN is really not that good I don't think, but plays from the V seem to give him way better plays then he would otherwise have. Sim confirms this, but I guess it's not enough to out-sim plays like (V)EGAN or (V)AN.
>Mike_Ebanks: CHT 11G T..CH +20 47
>Matthew_Larocque: AEGLNST 14C GELANTS +65 111
#note No NAGA yet, so this seems obvious.
>Mike_Ebanks: GRY D12 GR.Y +24 71
>Matthew_Larocque: EILOTU G3 TOLUI.E +20 131
#note My 7th letter was probably another vowel, I felt like I had to concede some points for the sake of cleaning up my rack.
>Mike_Ebanks: ABRY H1 BRAY +50 121
>Matthew_Larocque: AAILNST 12K AL +9 140
#note If you don't know LATINA(L)S.... 15A ALI(Y)A does score 29 keeping NST. A 40 point lead looks pretty good on a board with below-average bingo lanes. AINST just looked too strong to pass up, I guess.
>Mike_Ebanks: DIIV 4K .IVID +28 149
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIINST O1 INE.ITAS +131 271
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIINST -- -131 140
#note Wow I actually thought this was a good idea. I mean, maybe you can excuse it if it was my first tournament. But anything after the second one, it's time to smarten up. This was my 57th...
>Mike_Ebanks: AEU 13K EAU +14 163
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIINST M4 .ANITIES +63 203
#note I think that I wasn't totally sure on (D)AINTIES and missed A(D)ENITIS. Still, how does one miss (R)AINIEST? I probably played too fast/was getting low on time. It's not even an excuse, it's basically a playstyle at this point.
>Mike_Ebanks: EEOR O1 ERO.E +18 181
>Matthew_Larocque: ??EHPWX F4 HEX +65 268
>Mike_Ebanks: AAK 13C A.AK +30 211
>Matthew_Larocque: ??DEPSW 10L P.W +16 284
#note N3 W(I)PED, it even sets up (ID)S.
>Mike_Ebanks: EEF 15F FEE +36 247
>Matthew_Larocque: ??DEMOS 1F eM.OsSED +62 346
#note There's gotta be 1000 ways to score 85+ points here. On the hook I just set up the turn before. It's amazing what happens when you have two blanks and no time.
>Mike_Ebanks: ILOQRU 2A LIQUOR +37 284
>Matthew_Larocque: IZ 8M .IZ +36 382
#note Didn't write down my leave. Was probably already accumulating time penalties.
