>JacksonSmylie: AAEENOS -AEO +0 0
>JoshuaSokol: EMNORTT H4 TORMENT +70 70
#note maybe it's OK to put the O on the star, even though it allows a lot more 7s to play. He might not know TORMENTIL (I didn't think of it at all) and the placement of the E and O are suspicious with this placement. As always, a wash.
>JacksonSmylie: AEGNNSZ G3 ZEN +26 26
#note I understand the urge to play some scoring defense here by not allowing overlaps, but at least those overlaps could be helpful if AGNS doesn't turn into something immediately, and they also distract from some of the floaters that could prove useful. Quackle prefers I3 ZEN by a hair over G3, but (R)EZ 6H is also quite good. Scores better and the 2nd N doesn't inhibit much, given the GN combo. That sims about even with the ZENS.
>JoshuaSokol: ELOSTUX 10H .UX +26 96
>JacksonSmylie: AGNNOSW 7C GOWNS.AN +68 94
>JoshuaSokol: ELORSTU 4C ROUL..TES +68 164
#note held GOWNSMAN for a few minutes. Nice word. I'm getting so much by challenging. Not only RESOLUT(E) but also potential 8s next turn if GOWNSMAN is good. When I saw ROULETTES, it aided me in not challenging. I might have otherwise.
>JacksonSmylie: AAGIINO 8A NAOI +21 115
>JoshuaSokol: BEEIIPR 11I PIE +23 187
#note too much equity to pass up, despite the very bad forking of this board when ahead
>JacksonSmylie: AAEGIQT E3 Q.A +24 139
#note makes a lot of sense over QAT 3B because the N of NAOI is still open for ING words, and the T is very helpful for balance otherwise.
>JoshuaSokol: BEFIINR L8 FIBRE +34 221
#note could not for the life of me remember what happened with FIBRINE*. Whether it was good, whether it wasn't. I just knew Jackson played it. Was it against me? Someone else? I couldn't talk myself into playing FIBRIN because what if he hooks an E? I had no memory, but my gut was that it wasn't good. Jackson might have accepted too. Rust has attacked and enveloped your heroes. FIBRIN sims a point higher than FIBRE, which is about what I expected. The last N is nice to have, but the D hook on FIBRE and the risk of duplicating the I is not quite worth it, likely, even though NAOI keeps another I approximately 99% of the time.
>JacksonSmylie: AEGGITT 2B GIGA +25 164
>JoshuaSokol: CEFIJNR 5J FICE +27 248
#note J2 JE(E)R seemed standard, but I liked defending against the M column stuff, the J has potential to be ok. FICE sims 1.5 over JE(E)R and 3 over 8L (F)IEF which was my first thought
>JacksonSmylie: ADEKOTT M4 T.AKED +28 192
>JacksonSmylie: ADEKOTT -- -28 164
#note Jackson did think this was good. Maybe TEATED and BEAKED confusion, both adjectives.
>JoshuaSokol: AJLMNRU 1A JAM +43 291
>JacksonSmylie: ADEKOTT 8L .AKE +33 197
>JoshuaSokol: AELNRUW N6 WA.ER +22 313
#note seems good to block this E with partial knowledge. I can probably infer TT since TEAKED would only be better than this with too many consonants or TT.
>JacksonSmylie: DOSTTUY 9F TO.Y +24 221
#note Jackson didn't think FIBRED was valid, since he remembers knowing it was invalid before 2014.
>JoshuaSokol: DEILNUY 13J NUDELY +32 345
