If the 1-crak is the dora indicator, does that make the 9-crak the dora? I always just assumed it meant there was no dora.

Didn\'t a mahjong parlor owner get killed in Sonatine?

this is good advice, i don\'t see the problem.

an episode of seinfeld, but it was old women playing american style.:P

i say 5sou as well

majan3 on the hangame site offers a wareme option, if anyone\'s interested. its the only site i know of that has it.

i\'m interested. i\'m assuming nightime for you is morning for me, so if it can be between, lets say, 9:30 AM and noon (EST) i\'d love to participate.

i just keep my tiles all mixed up in a box, not in the trays they came in. i have my flowers and seasons in a drawer somewhere.

jeez that sure is a lucky hand, i hope i can get one myself someday lol.

thats happened to me before on a DS game, i wasnt paying attention to the tile count and was given an opportunity to ron when i shouldnt have been able to. found out it was haitei when it showed the scoring for the round. i just checked that game site and it doesnt show the walls like tenhou or have...

congratulations! thats impressive, as toupaiou seems tough to advance on, much harder than tenhou.

i\'d discard the 3-crak or 5-crak and go for the tanyao, 456 sanshoku, and possible iipeikou with the bamboos.

The order of the winds is E,S,W,N. if the N was the dora indicator(the \"turned tile on the mountain\" as you called it), the dora was E and you had 3 of them.

by the way, the dragons go red, white, greenin case you didnt know.

alban, heres a link to a 4 player game against AI that\'s that might be good practice.

i watched a few minutes of the last meetup and noticed there were exactly 4 players. how does the tournament work if there are an odd number of players (5,6,7,9,10, etc.)?
