>hellacia: DDFIPQY 8G DIDY +18 18
#note Interesting call here. Personally, I would have exchanged here, even QI doesn't really do much here as the leave is too clunky. I'd get rid of everything here to try to bingo ASAP.
>skaplan31: AEEGNTT 7C TENTAGE +72 72
#note Easily best. No 8s play.
>hellacia: CEFIIPQ 6B QI +33 51
>skaplan31: ACDILOO E5 CO.OIDAL +94 166
#note Only bingo. Nothing else is even close.
>hellacia: CEFIKPR 12D F.ICK +38 89
#note This is Robin's best play.
>skaplan31: AALMORV H12 .AVA +33 199
#note Yep, highest scoring option available. Best play.
>hellacia: EOPRRTU 6I TROUPER +67 156
#note Only bingo for her.
>skaplan31: LMNORST M2 TROM. +18 217
#note Lots of options are close. She is random after TROUPER so I figured I might help myself out with a more open board rather than play defense. Also, this sheds another consonant than 7L MOL or 11C LOAM. I could also score more immediately with O4 MORTS.
>hellacia: AAEGILN O4 GE.ANIAL +83 239
#note Turns out I would not have stopped her from bingoing regardless of what I do. This is her best scoring bingo. A nice find here is C3 GEN(IT)ALIA.
>skaplan31: AHLNSSS I12 SH +33 250
#note Definitely not doing SASH in this spot, I'm already telegraphing at least 1 S and a consonant heavy leave with this play. I saw LASH in this spot but I want a more open board by not blocking the D in CONOIDAL after she's random again. Hence, this over LASH.
>hellacia: ?IIJLUU -IJUU +0 239
#note Q does slightly favor playing FUJI D12 for 15 over exchanging here. It may be worth it here as she does have all sorts of lanes still open with her blank.
>skaplan31: AGLNSSU L1 GUAN +22 272
#note I did not know GERANIAL took an S. It would eventually prove costly. AGLUS or GUANS 12K are both better.
>hellacia: ?AEILWW K5 W.W +18 257
>skaplan31: EHLOSSU G10 SU.H +26 298
#note This is where I blew the game. The N10 hotspot should have been taken out with N10 HELOS. Instead, I did this garbage. This was a tunnel vision play trying to dump the U.
>hellacia: ?AEILVZ N10 ZEALs +99 356
#note And that's why HELOS should have been the move. Nice play Robin!
>skaplan31: DEELOOS 2J LO..ED +18 316
#note Now I need to get the top going and distract Robin a little bit. It's not a move Quackle suggests but it's nice and aggressive.
>hellacia: EIIRTUV 1E VIRTUE +29 385
#note Nice play by her again. Now I have a 2nd bingo lane to work with.
>skaplan31: AEENOOS 1N OE +17 333
#note Yep
>hellacia: IIJMNST 3H NIM +11 396
>skaplan31: AENNOPS 10B PON. +13 346
>hellacia: BEEIJST 13A JIBE +31 427
#note Ugh
>skaplan31: ?ABENRS 15C RAtSB.NE +60 406
#note I am not sure why Quackle doesn't want me to bingo here and do A13 JAB instead. That move would only work if there was a 2nd bingo lane available. That's not the case here. She's gonna block the A in KAVA any day regardless of whether I empty the bag or not. I did this over its anagram, ANTBEARS, to hopefully utilize an F or Y draw and cut spread if I don't draw a J play myself.
>hellacia: EEFOSTY M12 FEET +24 451
#note Robin could do JOY then FEET as well. I cannot block JOY after this.
>skaplan31: IRX 11A XI +13 419
>hellacia: OSY A13 .OY +39 490
>skaplan31: R G6 R.. +4 423
#note BRR C13 for 1 more.
I think we both got off to a nice start and then my failure to see HELOS which allowed her ZEALs basically was the game right there.
0-2 in Philly virtual so far. Yowza.
