#note this is just not a word. It doesn't make sense as a word, but I wrote out the alphagram and it looked decent. I also trust Seth, perhaps to a fault. #knowledgeSADDEST
>JoshuaSokol: EEENOUX E7 EXEUN. +26 60
>SethLipkin: DFGNNOP C8 POND.NG +24 106
#note Seth chickened out of FONDING here, which I might have challenged. I held his play for the second time in a row, and accepted. This time at least it was a word.
>JoshuaSokol: ?AEOOOW D6 WOO +22 82
#note Seth overdrew here and I overturned AFO. Conventional wisdom says put the F back, but I'm pretty much convinced that I shouldn't have. The F is a bad tile, and is especially bad on this board. I think you throw the O away, since there are tons of A's to duplicate, and the F just doesn't do anything here. Interesting spot and curious about alternative ideas. #questionable overdraw handling

>JoshuaSokol: ?AEGIOR 15H RIG +20 102
#note I ilke the idea of B9 GO, just to get one of the triples most of the time next turn. It felt kind of necessary to cover this one though, and I was also fuming about giving him a bingo by throwing his F back. Quackle thinks this is best by around 5 points over GO B9, and 1.5 over AGIO C3. #questionable

>JoshuaSokol: ?AEINOT A6 ANTIpO.E +77 179
#note Seth had mentioned NONPAPAL in a conversation earlier that weekend, and I said I didn't think it was good. So this one had better have been good, otherwise this would have been hilariously embarrassing. I don't know if I can infer something to the point of playing IDEATION or IODINATE instead from the I in CICELY here. The B2 spot is really annoying, but DEBT signals bingo consonants #questionable
>SethLipkin: AAEIRTZ J6 ZARA.ITE +87 274
#note I was quite confused at this point at what went wrong this game, other than maybe handling the overdraw. Little did I know.
>JoshuaSokol: AEIMOSV K4 OVA +23 202
#note I didn't see 6A (A)VO(W), which looks quite good here. This is better for the board of course. MOVIE B2 is bad for the board, but worth considering as well. AVOW wins a sim by a hair over my play. #questionable

>SethLipkin: ?BJOQRU J2 JOB +36 361
>JoshuaSokol: EEFMNRS K11 FEM +32 272
#note I had mostly given up here. (R)EFERS probably wins more than this, but spread was important, since Seth had me beat in that regard despite me being ahead in wins. #questionable
