Re: Beta Testing on Joyjan – RM Exclusive

I've found a bug. It's possible to get an "open chitoitsu" see: http://www.osamuko.com/chitoitsu2.png It might also be possible to get iipeiko chitoitsu (Note: tested, it's not.) and ryanpeiko chitoitsu too. As for the terminology debate, most beginners I've spoken to learn the Japanese terms becaus...

Re:Mahjong set + table

Not only that, but in the main body of the Japanese rules, she didn\'t give Japanese terms for anything. To find out the Japanese names for anything you have to look in the glossary in the back. Looks like Jenn\'s book also suffers from this. In the sample (http://www.shoplva.com/productimages/1556...

Re:game recording for analysis. Good or bad idea?

>>This is on the \'higher level\' tables you speak of, at least pretty much as high as it\'ll get online

Yttrasil probably means the 4dan+ room on tenhou. I also doubt Toupaiou\'s dan room is the \"highest\" level of play for online Japanese mahjong. Tenhou\'s Phoenix room probably is.

Re:Sites list

I was able to make an account in toupai but I cant read japanese. Does anyone know a site with a english guide or know how to navigate around the game?

Re:Expert Technique Mahjong: Cheating

There\'s a game called Akko de Pon Ikasama Hourouki. which you can cheat in, on the DS.

It\'s kinda fun, especially when an other players gets the chun and haku pairs you stacked in your wall!

Maybe a \"Mahjong Entertainment\" forum for discussion of mahjong manga, anime, videogames and maybe televised mahjong?
