Is it possible to win having declared 4 kantsu and a tanki-wait?
ie

Wouldn't it result in an abortive draw?
If yes, then how can you get the suukantsu yakuman?

I managed to translate most the first video, but I will continue it later because I still have some other things to do now... About walls - When the walls come up, place them a bit forward to make it easier to reach for your opponents. About discarding - When discarding, please use the same hand as ...

I found several do's and don'ts (mainly don'ts) videos on youtube, like this one for in a jansou: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBSNebwrFZI Discard pool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc1cmYjy9mQ Dead wall and dora indicator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U05EyZAy3ws I do not quite understand why...

In other words: Hi, welcome to the forum, I also recently joined here. Don't be afraid to ask questions, there are enough experienced players (including people living in Japan and often visiting/running jansou) who'd gladly help. How long have you been playing? How did you get here? What made you st...

Why do the pinzu have more red fives?
What is the origin of the red fives, threes and sevens?

Why do most sets contain 2 red 5p and 1 of the others?
Do you use all 4 akadora?

Huh?

Thank you, that clears it up.

Ah, forgot I could use the tile emoticons.

I see people who are in a suuankou non-tanki wait going for a tsumo, because if they ron it's a sanankou? With other hands, like with an iipeikou/sanankou, they can ron on the remaining tile necessary for the iipeikou/sanankou. Their description states that the yaku tiles have to be concealed. What'...

Anyone got an update about this?
I found a few clips of some rounds on Youtube, but that's it...

Someone asked me about rattles in his Take tiles recently... http://www.sloperama.com/majexchange/bulletinbd.htm

Yeah, that was me
Just as I was testing it with my magnets I got your response

I ordered a Take set (http://en.item.rakuten.com/trendone/1470423/) and I finally received it today (and a Junkmat). But I noticed a slight difference in weight between some tiles (4m is heavier than others), have others also noticed this? And the rhinestones of the red 5p tiles were sticking out a ...

Does anyone know where I can find the names of the special hands in Chinese (both Chinese Classical/Official (Mandarin) and Hong Kong (Cantonese)) with the Chinese writings?
eg. 對對湖 [dui dui hu/dui dui woo]
