Wow, holy s***... what a game! This set a new record for highest trip sum, here 1446 points (old record was 1438). This is also cool because the Top Three games are now all played by different players.  :-)

You got damn lucky with that PYRIDOXINE. hehe. There was only one mistake I could see, and as usual, you will kick yourself -- the T from word #30, which you placed at E8 (NUT) for 3 points, could've gone at J5 (BET/IT) for 7 points, coincidentally making the 4 point difference that would've hit exactly 1900.  :-\

The averages are now (L=Laura, C=Cooperative, etc):

1840.60 (M), 1830.33 (L), 1826.07 (T), 1807.00 (C)

There are seven games left under 1800, and all of them were either played by me alone or cooperatively. Meaning that the only way for "L" and/or "T" to increase your averages for the time being is to play high-scoring games. Elimination off the bottom won't work for a while. heh.  ;-)

Yes, I *finally* updated the Top 50 after almost two months of being dormant. The one thing I left un-updated was the chart showing how many games over 1500 have ever been played. I said I would stop counting when the 1,000th game over 1500 had been played, and it lies somewhere in November or early-to-mid December probably. I will look soon enough and post a link to it. Has no real significance, since "1500" is arbitrary, but what the hey...  :-)
