Well. Anime Central is coming up. In fact, tomorrow is the badge pick-up pre-registration day. Lined up for Anime Central. Introduction to Japanese Mahjong panel Basically looking to introduce the game to anyone who has never even heard of mahjong as we all know it here. This is also a good chance t...

Yea. Thanks to Tenhou... or other PC/online means of playing...

The wall building... and even... execution of making (chii, pon, kan) calls... can make one clumsy. Simply because -- the computer manages that kind of stuff for us. Ah... I remember the day when I first sat down at the table.

I scored Chankan once in 3-player mode, where my online buddy, who showed me mahjong, was like:

"Oh no you didn't."

"Oh yes, I did"

Couple weeks ago. I pulled a Ryu Iiso. Without any Hatsu ('cause I was chasing Chinitsu earlier).

Unfortunately, I cannot furnish a picture at this time. But I have witnesses. Either way, my first with live tiles. Glad to have gotten that out of the way.

Nope. Not a chankan due to closed kan. But still... gimme gimme.

Another thing I can tell you about the Live Game vs Online. You become more self-conscious about getting Ron'd. Why? It can be very embarrassing, especially when the person's waits become more and more obvious. With this in mind, defense strategy gets more attention.

Sometimes, it's better to actually keep those tiles for particular yaku like chanta, junchan, etc. That's dependent on whether y'have a good shot at attaining that too.

Setup for either a potential Ittsu, or 1-2-3 Sanshoku. Seeing that 2-pin is recently discarded, no need to have a pair of the 1-pin.

Well. Apparently, we'll be using the Standard rules for the main tournament. However, for the "Finals" table, the posted special rules will apply.

No, I didn't mean the site Tenhou. I meant the hand Tenhou being among the yakuman listed... as in Tenhou, Su An Kou Tanki, Dai Sushi, Tsu Iso, Parenchan.

I oughta reference your book into Wikipedia.

Well, look at the yaku hit rates in Tenhou:

I don't even see Su Kansu listed. And you're asking for them to be closed? That's nuts.

Under Wareme if your wall section was broken you usually pay double on an opponent's tsumo win too. LOL on the cosplay. I may have to break out my "neko-mimmi" (and get partial). Posted 4-5 other mahjong related threads across that many forums. :D But anyways, I'll make the note to our tournament h...

Playing with real tiles. Can't imagine a way other than manual. That'd be ridiculously tedious. Yet, at the Japanese pro level - I can imagine them tracking that kind of data. As for software. Looking at how Tenhou.net keeps game histories (for a certain time period). One of my early games - this ga...
