>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: NORUY 8D YOURN +24 24
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: EINORTV H8 .OVERINT +86 86
#note I told Sammy the best I could see was through the R. Then he taught me this # anagram of INVENTOR.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: ALOPTV 13G P.VOTAL +38 62
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ?EEEFGM 14J FEE +31 117
#note I was aiming for FEM originally, but Sammy wanted to do this for better defense. I think he's right, because not only do we keep the O15 spot away from them, but we also make it likely that their best play is 12L-O, which could give us big comebacks to a triple.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: EW 12L WE +24 86
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ?AEEGMR D1 MEAGERl. +82 199
#note I saw MEAGREST# and had no idea if it was good, so I asked Sammy. He couldn't remember and said why don't we just play MEAGERLY. If I had spotted AGREMENT#, I would have known it. Sammy also pointed out the nice double-double METERAGE they had just blocked.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: IQU 1A QUI. +45 131
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ?AGIJSW 11B JIGSAW.d +86 285
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: DEHLO (challenge) +5 290
#note Though I of course saw JIGSAWN, I don't think I noticed it slotted the J for 4 more points. There's a good case to be made for this play anyway, but it was definitely worth it when they challenged and made it the higher scoring one.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: ELO B11 .OLE +22 153
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: DEHLO 10F HO.EL +40 330
#note I don't remember the full rack, but I know we had a D, because I was seriously in favor of EDH 15A to take out that spot. However, Sammy preferred playing for points, and this play scored high enough that I acquiesced. HOVED# was probably even better.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: EORZ A12 ZERO +94 247
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ABIM C11 .AMBI +45 375
#note This play was all mine. All three of the other players complimented me on it.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: AKT C3 KAT +31 278
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ADEIINT G1 DAINTIE. +61 436
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: DEGINST K4 NIDGETS +80 358
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: ABO H1 ABO +30 466
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: ACEFRSU N6 SURFACE +72 430
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: OX E4 OX +42 508
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: NPUY O12 PUNY +48 478
#note They debated between this and DECURY 8J. Sammy pointed out that if they had played the other one, we almost had SHIRTILY# in response.
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: HIILRST I3 SHIRT +14 522
#note At this point everyone else had lost interest, as they knew we had won, so I was just wrapping things up for sake of formality. I couldn't find anything great, and Sammy misinformed me that LITH# was no good, so I settled for an easy out in two, completely missing their big play.
>Marlon_Hill_&_Bob_Linn: ACDDN 8J C.DA.N +33 511
#note "Think long, think wrong!" Marlon said. At least we still win.
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: IL 14F LI. +9 531
>Dave_Koenig_&_Sammy_Okosagah: (D) +4 535
