Re: Looking for a new set
Rakuten is just what I was looking for, thanks a lot! You're welcome. Be aware that Rakuten is just a market place for independent sellers all over Japan, so you might still have to go through a third party (Goods From Japan or similar) to actually get the stuff shipped outside of Japan. Still it's...

Re: Looking for a new set
Anyone know a vendor which would ship outside japan and have some variety in their selection? I've bought mahjong and hanafuda stuff through this site (Goods From Japan). They don't list any mahjong stuff on their site, but if you mail them a link of the set you want, they can get it for you. Rakut...

Re: Help a newbie find a good cost efficient set
The YMI set discussed over here looks quite similar to the standard set sold over at Japanese-Mahjong.com (it might even be the same set rebranded). Other than that, I think you will have a hard time finding anything that looks authentic outside of Japan. I've never seen any riichi sets on eBay (exc...

Re: ryan peikou = chii toitsu????? can anyone explain?
This has been discussed recently and they do not stack. Read especially b4k4ni04's post.

Re: Riichi quick reference guide
I did do some checking, though, and I found another method of determining the initial seating and dealer, so I'm hoping somebody can tell me whether this one is a bit more common: A Method to Determine Seating and Starting Dealer -Shuffle one tile of each of the four winds face-down and line them u...

Re: Riichi vs. Zung Jung
I have played with the Zung Jung rules and found much the same thing. You could do like the WSOM and skip the chicken hand. I also found the "everyone pays at least 30 points" rule problematic, since many hands won't be worth more than that. Having everyone pay regardless of who threw the winning ti...

Re: New from YMI
For anyone in the UK looking for a good riichi set, this one on Amazon is probably the best value, at only £33 inc. shipping: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mah-jong-set-Oriental-characters-00690/dp/B000YELUB0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=toys&qid=1280767744&sr=8-6 I have one of those sets.

Re: How to explain the yaku
Are you trying to pick a fight or something? Sorry, I did not mean to come off so aggressive. And for the record, I did not learn mahjong from Wei-Hwa Huang's document and I do not play by these rules (I've always counted Honroutou as 4 han). But I find the discussion of the differing ways to score...

Re: How to explain the yaku
Wei-Hwa Huang's site compiled stuff relating to Toudai-shiki which is a style of mahjong in the way EMA nashi-ari is a style. Is this an authoritative list? It was made in 1998 and updated in 2001. It was made as an attempt to be a better reference than whatever else was on the English internet. An...

Re: How to explain the yaku
Regarding Honroutou and Chanta, this seems to be one of those situations where both sides are somewhat right. According to this page (by Wei-Hwa Huang) which details the Tokyo University scoring (http://www.ofb.net/~whuang/ugcs/gp/mahjong/mahjong.html#dirtyterm): 3.1.4.3 (5) DIRTY TERMINALS (honrout...

Re: Chi for Ron
When you go out, you are allowed to complete any kind of set, even the pair. It is not CHII or PON, it is RON.cavemaneca wrote:I'm saying, I was south and he was north.

Re: Scoring Sticks
Those rules actually seem more than a little bit different from what i've seen.. [...] As well, if you notice a comment on the bottom of the page, anon points out these rules aren't THE common way of playing, just a way of playing. There's a bunch of things missing from the post anyway, as well as ...

Re: Any Non-'Beginner' books out there?
And dont judge me dick. Like you judged all those looking for more advanced books to be "armchair experts"? Try to be civil, butting into the discussion like you did was rude. This place is big enough to carry all kinds of discussions, if you want to discuss gut feeling versus book knowledge go ahe...
