This was one of three accidental transpositions of I and E that I've gotten away with in a two-week period--one was in a team game, where five people failed to notice "VEIW" until several turns later. Perhaps karma is making up for my first tournament, where I tied for first place on win/loss record, but finished out of the money thanks to spread, after playing COALEIR* upside-down and losing the challenge.

A game rife with mistakes, to be sure, but if I had played AMIDASE or DIADEMS instead of MEDIANS, the game might have been mine. I always like to open up the 3x3x lane, in the hopes that I will be able to use it... dumbass.
