>JoshuaSokol: DEIKNNR H4 KINDER +32 32
#note Pretty insane that I didn't even think of playing DRINK here. That's a small improvement I think. #visionSAD
>JacksonSmylie: BEGIOSX 6D BOXI.G +32 32
>JoshuaSokol: ?CEINNS E4 iN.SCINE +86 118
>JoshuaSokol: ?CEINNS -- -86 32
#note and how stupid to see CONIINES and know it has an anagram, see this, and not take a bit of time to make sure this was it... I've messed this up before too. I knew the anagram didn't take an S, but this ain't it. Wow. #knowledgeSADDEST
>JacksonSmylie: AEIIOSW 5D AWE +35 67
>JoshuaSokol: ?CEINNS 8B INCENS.d +62 94
#note and now I consider BOXINGS and don't even think about what it could mean, just that I must be confusing it with FOXINGS. Idiotic. CENSING or INCENSE play with BOXINGS. This is horrible in comparison #knowledgeSADDEST
>JacksonSmylie: AIIOOSS J4 AIS +24 91
#note then he does this and of course it's a word. I don't even hold. Just bask in my own stupidity for the next 4 minutes
>JoshuaSokol: BEEIORU D8 .UBER +18 112
#note horrible position. (C)ORBIE is probably a better version of this. CURIE or CURIO also. #findingSAD
>JacksonSmylie: EIOOOPS 4A POOS +28 119
>JoshuaSokol: AAEINOO A1 ANO.IA +24 136
>JacksonSmylie: AEGIOOY C11 YOGA +23 142
#note YOGI still sims best despite all of the extra hooks. (N)OOGIE 2A also an option. Everything sucks. This seems fine. Especially to continue under the guise that I would infer the case S from POOS so when I don't have the S I might try to block YOGAS.
>JoshuaSokol: EFORRRT 3I FRORE +28 164
>JacksonSmylie: DEEIOUW E10 OWE +37 179
>JoshuaSokol: DEHJRRT 14B H.DJ +30 194
#note yeah I just missed EARTH and DEARTH thru the same A. DEARTH looks right, I get some JA(D)E stuff. EARTH good too because of JI(R)D L1 as well. This is fine, but probably not fine enough.
>JacksonSmylie: ADEHITU B3 D.TH +34 213
#note consonant-heavy pool, scores well, seems right. Nothing leaves well and scores
>JoshuaSokol: EEFMRRT L1 FE.RET +26 220
#note I considered playing FR(ORE) again at 12A. It was between this and F(O)RT in the end at K2. FORT sims best by a hair, surprisingly. It's good to keep things tight for sure, and the E's are useful, but I felt it was about time to start opening stuff. Jackson did take a while with DOTH so I figured some duplicate T with bad stuff maybe
>JacksonSmylie: AEILLUU 1L .ULL +21 234
#note not sure why not FLUE or FUEL instead. It's actually closer than actual valuation difference, I guess because again consonant-heavy pool and the L isn't so great, whereas the E is better than usual. FUEL and FLUE still sim around 2 points better
>JoshuaSokol: AEMNPRZ 15A ZA +38 258
#note thought about MAZER M5 too, which reaches for the blank, but I'm somewhat comfortable here, thought there would be no need to open so much this time.
>JacksonSmylie: AEILTTU F13 TIL +23 257
#note this is a sensible decision. Trying to open some parts of the board but not opening humongous opportunities. F14 IT sims a bit better. You bingo more with IT, but it's also a bit more dangerous. Tossup.
>JoshuaSokol: EEMNPRV 15F .EV +18 276
#note just (I)MP B8 sims best this turn. I bingo 32%. Lots of stuff on the 2 row and M column. Wish I'd thought of that immediately rather than as a followup.
>JacksonSmylie: ACEGLTU F2 CUL.. +20 277
#note (N)UG F8 looks to be the play here. ACELT is pretty potent and Jackson's going to want to beat me to the punch if he can. CUL(EX) blocks a lot of bingos, but most will play on the M column anyway, so I think it's more self-inhibitive. NUG sims 10 over G(E)TA and CUL(EX)
>JoshuaSokol: EMNPRST B8 .MP +13 289
#note (I)N(E)PT 5J is another option here to go the defensive route. Gonna be tough even if I bingo. There's a blank out and lots of open space. INEPT is interesting, didn't see it. I think this is correct though
>JacksonSmylie: AEGITVY I12 TIVY +21 298
#note just dropping the Y with (BO)Y hits LIGATIVE and LEVIGATE but you're hitting that less than average. IMP probably keeps an E and maybe also an I. (N)AY for 30 scores well but doesn't prepare to bingo as well. It all depends on what IMP's range is. GYVE 7K might be an option if IMP keeps not super well usually. Jackson was a bit worried about 10-letter LEV words here, which would have been awesome. This position sucks. I think reaching for the blank is a good idea, and keeping as bingo-ey as possible. So this makes sense.
>JoshuaSokol: AEINRST M6 ANTSIER +61 350
#note this looks right. Reduces bingos by the most. I think I only lose to bingos here, will be up 52 with good balanced unseen letters. Can't score much without the Q either.
>JacksonSmylie: AAEGMNQ L11 MANGE +26 324
>JoshuaSokol: ?DEIOTU 8K OU.ED +21 371
#note ran out of time looking for 6s at K7 that didn't exist
>JacksonSmylie: AQ 3E Q.A +13 337
>JacksonSmylie: (?IT) +4 341
#note This game belongs in the history books of a tribe that follows the oral tradition.
