>Ryan_Fischer: EIJOSTU 8D JOUST +40 40
#note JESUIT?
>David_Gibson: ENNY D8 .ENNY +30 30
>Ryan_Fischer: EEIMNOY C9 YEOMEN +50 90
#note The reaction when I played this was priceless. "Whoa, that's about 50," he estimated, before I finished counting. Plays like this are what I love.
>David_Gibson: LTZ F7 L.TZ +33 63
#note Must not've had anything else, and this hotspot won't ever get used.
>Ryan_Fischer: ACEIPTT B9 APT +31 121
#note I have a PATHETIC PITTANCE (APATETIC/CAPITATE, which I didn't know, too). My first thought was to play something like CATE, setting up the P/EON hook, but this is much better.
>David_Gibson: HIN 9F .HIN +23 86
>Ryan_Fischer: ACEEITX J5 AXITE +36 157
#note Turning point of the game. He said he'd probably play EXACT or AXITE, too. Tough decision. EXACT opens the bottom, but keeps it more closed in general when I'm ahead. He'll still have the EXACT/A hook, but I'll be able to counter most bingos. Sim likes EX. I think I went with AXITE also because on the off chance I pull a U, I have ECU parallel to MY. Probably not too big a concern there, and I should leave that part of the board alone.
>David_Gibson: ?ABDDST 4D BADDeST +83 169
>Ryan_Fischer: CEFGOUW 5C COW +30 187
#note Ugly but best. At least there's another hook now.
>David_Gibson: IM K5 MI +25 194
>Ryan_Fischer: AAEFGOU L3 FOU +17 204
#note Right idea, down low you go.
>David_Gibson: AQT 3C QAT +35 229
>Ryan_Fischer: AAAEGIO -AAIO +0 204
#note All of Quackle's suggestins are stupid. Given the hole I dug, this is fine.
>David_Gibson: IILLNOR G3 I.OL +6 235
#note He told me he had (T)RILLION off a T. I don't think Quackle appreciates the brilliance of this move. It undoubles, and it restricts three hotspots: S/TAW, K/LUTZ, and 8H (though I do use it later anyway).
>Ryan_Fischer: ?AEEEGR 14A GE.ERAtE +70 274
#note RE(N)EGAdE
>David_Gibson: EGIILNR 15F LINGIER +86 321
>Ryan_Fischer: ADDEEFP H1 FAD.D +33 307
#note DEF probably gives me a little better chance.
>David_Gibson: BRR 13H BRR +11 332
>Ryan_Fischer: AEEIPUU A12 PA.E +30 337
#note Figured I'd take the points now, kill the spot, deal with the Us next time. Otherwise, definitely P(F)UI
>David_Gibson: EIRV M1 VIER +26 358
#note Mistake here, allowing me to score and lose a U.
>Ryan_Fischer: CEGILUU 1M .UG +21 358
#note Otherwise, it's FUGU
>David_Gibson: EIRV K10 VIER +20 378
#note Where he shoulda played VIER the first time.
>Ryan_Fischer: CEIKLOU N4 CUKE +25 383
#note Low on time, I kill my chances, miss (T)ICKLE, which is about 50/50 to win, I think.
>David_Gibson: AHNOSSW 8L WASH +53 431
