Arden Recap (Games 9-12)

[aibretty]

Day 2.

I wake up feeling very stimulated.  My mind was racing all night while I slept, and I replayed all of my games in my sleep finding all of the stupid moves from the previous day.  I haven't done that in a while.  I get some breakfast in rush and a huge coffee, rush in, set-up my equipment and am very very ready to redeem myself.

Game 9:   vs.

Ah - Connie B. I am proud (read in sarcasm) to say I gave her one of her first wins by overestimating her stupidity. I had everything to win that game by 100, but because I'd played her in the past, and because I counted on her to play in her usual DUMBASS way, I tried MAIOULED* as an opening bingo when I was 100% sure it was no good (thought she might confuse the two good ones). Later, when she makes a pedestrian bingo that slots the G in the middle of the 3x3, I greedily try SEI(G)NORE (a trip-trip) even though ERINGOES fit, because I wanted the extra points. Again, I overestimated her stupidity (and underestimated mine). She then had the good stuff at the end, and I lost. BUT, as much as I dislike her, and as much as I'd usually hate to lose to the likes of her, I actually had to laugh at how ridiculous I was. I fully deserved to lose.

Having both her and Hartsman finish so badly was poetic justice.
