#note Also considered SWAgMEN, of course. Didn't think of fishing - WAE looks decent. Quackle likes playing for 44, and prefers keeping the A by about 2.5 points - SWAgMAN gives back about 4 more points, and the E isn't as good as I thought it might be. The pool seems to help the A here.

#note Tricky. I also considered IXTLES, but somehow not XI 13C! XI crushes the sim. I might have more control of the game after this on average, but the points also help to secure the win. I'm not sure I like XI over this, but it might just be the play.
>Mark_Garrod: AIQS 10F QIS +42 270
#note I think Mark said I blocked QADIS.
>Noah: ILORRST M5 LIR. +8 285
#note I saw LIROT 10B pre-QIS, but not LIROT(H). I think I basically just considered this and (D)R(AM). Quackle likes this better, but likes DORR B12 and then LIROTH 4C best. All 3 margins are ~3 points. Blocking the bingo line with LIROTH feels weird, and I don't love DORR either, but maybe it's fine. The pool looks somewhat awkward for him, but promising for me. Part of the strength of DORR might be that there are 4 Ns out to pair with my ILST and the G on O8. Even after LIROTH, IN seems like a reasonably likely draw for me, at least somewhere down the line.
