#note Maybe GELlANTS, though that does make scoring a bit more potent. Being able to parallel over GANTLETS is definitely a good thing too.

#note I really did think about HM here, but that just feels like too much.

#note This situation is just gross. I don't really want to play short, but every single decently long play opens a lot and feels very bad specifically to random bingos. I can get behind OHMIC as an alternative, but VRT on this board still feels awful, blocking j6 has benefits, I can block if he opens and actually exchange if he keeps blocking, and I don't really have anything good to do if he takes j6 himself. HO does win a sim, but I'm not totally convinced.

#note This still feels absolutely gross and maybe informs that last turn was maybe wrong. I really have to hit the blank now, and we're really blank racing. I suspect Kevin has the blank here a lot already, but I just can't beat a blank regardless, and have to hope he did this purely for points. This is pretty strong support for OHMIC last turn, though. Maybe MOTIVE and just hoping is a better try, but this seems okay too as I can get some good things happening with some heavy tiles.

#note FAERIE/FERIAE just never win. This has a shot, albeit not a good one. This last 4 turns or so has just felt gross, but I'm not really convinced that anything else is better.
