>Jackson: AAFILNO H4 FOLIA +24 24
>Noah: IIJPRTU 6F JI.T +27 27
>Jackson: ADHNNNT 8G N.N +3 27
#note loses a sim to HANT i3. i love this though
>Noah: ILPU 5G P.ILU +20 47
>Jackson: ADEEHNT K5 .NHEATED +74 101
>Noah: GLRTTUW -GLTUW +0 47
#note Q thinks I should play through here with RUGAL.
>Jackson: LMNORRS 8K .NORM +24 125
#note I wasn't 100% sure of MORN only taking S. NORM or MORN are good to set up the S. This is okay, and is more standard, but just benefits him about as much as me. I think MORN is a bit better, but I'm not positive. they're about even in a sim
>Noah: ACDIRST 10D DISTRAC. +69 116
>Jackson: ?GILRSV E9 V.G +14 139
#note interesting VIG doesn't bingo so much more than VIGIL. Q prefers that
>Noah: AEMOWYY 12D YAWEY +44 160
>Jackson: ?ILPRST M7 P.ITReLS +76 215
#note SPORTILY is better for bingo defense, missed it
>Noah: DIIMORT 13G MODI +24 184
>Jackson: AEEKNVZ 14F ZEK +51 266
#note I prefer ZEK to ZEN, cause the K does net him 12 more, but isn't super easy to start with E, at least not moreso than D and I after ZEN for YON. It also forces him to play there, and he may have to sacrifice to do so, and then I have the V to block the right side of the board. VENA is worth considering and sims well, but I think I prefer this thematically
>Noah: BEILORT 15H EL +39 223
#note Maybe ET here -- it bingos much more than EL or ER (~18% vs. ~10% vs. !5%!) on the next turn if Jackson passes. Of course he's probably going to block, but that percentage seems like a decent tiebreaker. And I don't see a good other reason to keep the T over the L.
>Jackson: AAENVWX N6 VA.NA +28 294
#note I was tempted to play VEGA 11c cause S setups there can be really annoying, but I gotta deal with the more immediate threats now. I could do N4 WAXER to outrun as well, but I'm happy with this route
>Noah: ?BIORST L1 BORTS +28 251
#note Trying to keep stuff open -- it seems pretty hard to win after ORBITS, and this gives me possibilities for bingos or big plays on column O. BUT, I'm not sure I considered other 5s at L1 like BRIOS or BIROS. With such a vowel-heavy pool, I don't have a good argument for BORTS. Perhaps I am too pessimistic about ORBITS -- I can still draw big Q plays with POILUS, or perhaps make a difficult-to-block setup, and maybe Jackson could have Q trouble on the closed board.
>Jackson: AEOTUWX M1 OWE +25 319
#note I have L12 EAUX, which might be the play. But I liked OWE cause there are lots of Es to draw, which give me EAUX for next turn, which often doesn't get blocked. This is kinda paranoid and maybe I should just go for EAUX and outrun, especially with 11 row setups and stuff like SEQUIN and triple triple nonbingoes. Probably a mistake
>Noah: ?EEIOOR N1 OE +21 272
>Jackson: ABDNTUX 1L ...B +24 343
>Noah: ?CEIORU 9C CO.E +17 289
#note I didn't see CURIO here, and it looks like quite a nice way to open, while keeping Q/X possibilities alive at column O. Looks better to me.
>Jackson: ADINTUX O10 TAX +21 364
#note damn missed 12j ADIEUX, definitely the call. I played this cause I am very favoured for the extensions, with the N and D for TAXIED and TAXING. Maybe TAXI instead though? the I can be useful for the Q
>Noah: ?EEIORU 13A ROUE +13 302
#note I think Josh and Sid liked RUE here. I can see that I might not want to allow Jackson to continue to score, though EIO? looks rough with this pool.
